"Due to your affiliation with INGO..."

[ATM]

Got pulled over for speeding this evening.

The officer identified himself and let me know that he had me at 42 in a 30 back where the speed limit reduces coming into town. He then asked for my license. I didn't have it on me, so I offered my name and DOB. He said he'd be right back.

He returned shortly, pointed to my hat and began,"Due to your affiliation with INGO..."

Now I know what you're all thinking, this just got interesting, didn't it? I'll admit it, I clenched up a bit bracing for the impending taser barbs.

But he continued (without dramatic pause or evil laugh, which was good), "...I'm not going to ticket you."

Nice! Very cool use of discretion, sir.

We traded user names and shook hands. Nicely played, Socomike, good to meet you!

Stay safe out there (and I'll slow down).

Excellent. It's like you're a mini celebrity.

I've been given a warning instead of ticket due to my having a firearm on me, but never an INGO notice.

Howd he know? Did you have a bumper sticker?

WHOLLY COW..

He said it's because of his hat.INGO hat that is, not Santa hat.

INGO hat and sticker on vehicle, and he never even asked if I had weapons. I think Mike's squared away.

You were supposed to have been tazed. It's the new SOP.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

WHAT? No tazing? They said there would be tazing! There's SUPPOSED to be tazing! Why no tazing? Awwww!

[BogWalker]

You've checked to make sure you still have your wallet, right?

 

[Bfish]

Very cool! It's always nice to hear something like this! Sounds like he is a cool guy.

If a known INGO Shooter is pulled over, does that mean he's getting a ticket for sure?

Depends on the shooter.

 

[Bigtanker]

It wasn't your hat that gave it away. It was the INGO1 plate on a Buggatti! !!!!!!! Right?

 

[Socomike]

Yo yo yo. Taser was armed and ready. It was to cold to draw it from the holster. I treat all vehicles as if they have guns in them. The ingo sticker just put me more at ease. Good to meet you. Everyone buy the ingo sticker if you drive through crawfordsville.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Depends on the shooter.

I could volunteer one or two.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Pulled over for 12 over? I thought 15 was the new 10.

A prime curb-stomping opportunity lost. Those jackboots are there for a reason, mister.

 

[Que]

That was nice of him.
