| 0:00.0 | Cops. Are there any crimes that you intentionally don't enforce? |
| 0:04.9 | Just before Thanksgiving, my dad called me and informed me that I had failed to pay a parking ticket |
| 0:09.5 | and that my license had been suspended. Concerned that I would get pulled over and ticketed, |
| 0:14.2 | I decided to pay the ticket right there and then on my phone. Since I couldn't print the confirmation |
| 0:19.0 | screen out, I just took a picture of the screen |
| 0:20.9 | with my phone, so I could prove that I had paid the ticket in the unlikely event that I got pulled |

| 1:06.5 | flipped one picture too far to an eggplant pick I took for some ex-girlfriend when I was hammered, |
| 1:12.2 | and I had then handed the phone to the cop. Time basically stopped, as I was sure he was going to arrest |
| 1:17.1 | me for some kind of harassment crime and put me on a watch list for life. Mortified, I shakily |
| 1:22.4 | scrolled back to the payment confirmation pick, and handed the phone back to him. He reluctantly |
| 1:27.3 | looked at the screen, |
| 1:28.3 | nodded, and then let out a little laugh. As he tossed my phone back to me, he said, |
| 1:33.0 | Have a nice Thanksgiving and walk back to his car shaking his head. I drove home in complete silence |
