Police Jokes

Since Paul, my brother is a new member of the NZ police force, we've had quite a number of police jokes and funny incidents being reported after each shift. One that Dad had read in the paper took my fancy:

A cop was driving home and decided to perform one last routine driver's licence check. He flashed his lights at the car in front at which the car sped up. The cop turned on his sirens and pursued the car which eventually pulled over. The cop walked up to the driver's window and told him that he was only pulling him over for a routine licence check but now he was required to complete a bunch of paperwork for the additional charge of avoidance of a police officer. The cop advised that he didn't really want to do that as he was nearly finished for the night so suggested the guy provide a decent excuse for his behaviour. The guy responded that he'd only kept driving because his wife had run off with a cop a week earlier and he'd thought they were bringing her back!

You may be interested to know that Paul caught his first burglar last week. He'd been notified of a recent burglary so was cruising the area when he came across a fairly suspicious looking man. Paul said "Whaddya up to?" in that casual police-way and the guy responded "Doing something I shouldn't". Hmm, perhaps he should have been shopping for a poker face. It gets worse. Once they took the guy into the station, he asked if he would be released sooner if he told them that he'd done it. Score for Paul!
