    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.

            Well shit, I guess the word dispatch is what made me assume otherwise. Acab, I hope you got it settled homie.

              What actually happened was that I first called the non-emergency number and they told me to call 911. I guess it would have been funnier if 911 had then told me to call the non-emergency number instead of just saying “nah”.

              Fortunately it turned out I didn’t need the VIN verification after all.
