Funny letter to the CHP

[MudBugjr]

Sorry if you have already seen this. Oh whats up with the police Beetle?

Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding

enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar.

One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check

speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.

The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun

began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer

attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then

turned off.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar

had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was

engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.

Back at the CHP Headquarters, the Patrol Captain fired off a

complaint to the USMC Base Commander.

The reply came back in true USMC style:

Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the

file on this incident. You may be interested to know

that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected

the presence of, and subsequently locked on to,

your hostile radar equipment and automatically

sent a jamming signal back to it,

which is why it shut down.

Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground

missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also

automatically locked on to your equipment location.

Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet

recognized the situation for what it was, quickly

responded to the missile system alert status,

and was able to override the automated defense

system before the missile was launched to destroy

the hostile radar position.

The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them,

since the video systems on these jets are very high tech.

Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun,

should get his dentist to check his left rear molar.

It appears the filling is loose.

Also, the snap is broken on his holster.

Thank you for your concern.

The whole story is priceless, but the thing I will always laugh at with my Sgt. at work is a line similar to the above quote.

We had an incident at work and the local PD came to file the arrest report and transport. I work Hospital Security, for those that don't know. It was some new officer that had just transferred in to our precinct, the rest of the guys know us and know that we strive to be a bit more professional and aren't just lazy guards.

Anyway, new dude made a snide comment about us arresting the guy for a minor infraction ( he was Drunk and Disorderly and tried to hit a nurse) and said "You guys not have anything else to do tonight?"

To which my Sgt. (a 25 year veteran Lt. of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, SORT team member, VP of the local FOP and who also served several years in New Orleans as a Deputy Sheriff) replied "Not really. Just the arrest and reminding you to snap your holster."

The dude looked like he was gonna come unglued. Even the suspect laughed.

Anyway sorry for the hijack, just reminded me of why I like my old Sarge.
