    The cops resent it when their job involves anything but murder. Don’t call the cops unless you’re prepared for something or someone to die.

      When I first bought my school bus I needed to have a policeman come out and do a VIN verification so I could get it registered, so I called the local (Philadelphia) police department. When I asked for an officer to do this, the dispatcher said “nah”. I said “nah?” and he said “yeah, nah” and hung up on me.

        When someone broke the window on my car I needed a police report for the insurance. They wouldn’t cover it otherwise. When the cop showed up he yelled at me for having a broken window and told me he wasn’t gonna do the report unless I gave him permission to search the car for drugs. I gave him permission, but filmed the search. He found nothing and wrote the report.
