    You can just look at him and not answer.

    You need to give them license, registration, and proof of insurance, and otherwise comply, but you don’t need to talk to them.

    And, it just occurred to me, as an old man, if I could somehow cry it might just make the cop uncomfortable enough to let me go. LOL.

      I mean crying kinda works

      So my first ticket I should have gotten was in high school. My gf and two of our friends went two towns over to get slurpees (they had the good machine). I got pulled over doing 50 in a 35. Trying to catch up with the rest of our friends who had come along but lost me at a red light). Well all of the girls in the car started crying (for reasons?) and I just told the officer what was going on. I mean I could handle that speeding ticket.

      Well after fifteen seconds both the officer and I were having a lot of trouble not laughing. Why the hell were they crying, I was the one who was going to have to pay some money. So he went to his car and giggled for a minute or two, then came back and gave me a warning.

      I never got a satisfactory answer why she was crying, but like, teenagers right?

      Sob, “Ever since Marie died I’ve had nobody to tell me how fast I’m driving while I keep my eyes on the road. It’s like I’m missing half my soul…”
