House Odds

A friend, far wiser than I, once told me that when a policeman stops you 10% of the time he has made up his mind and you are riding off with no less than the citation you deserve. Nothing you do will change his mind. The remaining 90% the outcome is up in the air. The officer hasn’t decided how he’s going to handle the matter and a yes sir, no sir, you’re absolutely right sir, or just plain being polite might just might make the difference between the citation and you riding off no worse for wear except for maybe a polite ass chewing.

Being an asshole has consequences.

H/T to the pistolero.
