( From UPI.com )
NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Two New York plumbers were jailed and held for almost a week after two police officers mistook a bag of candy for crack, authorities said.
"Sweet happens," the New York Post Saturday quoted a police source as say unapologetically of the mistake.
As Barbara Streisand once croooned....."Mem-or-ieeeeeee eeeees, like the corner of my mind"......
I know how these plumbers are feeling. Violated! Treated like scum of the earth!
Lets just say, a couple of friends and I were about 16 years old and freshly had gotten our licenses. Let's just say one of my friends said, "yeah I heard there's tons of prostitutes that walk around the 'Combat Zone' right down near the Wang Center in Boston." Let's just say, we drove to the Combat Zone to check this out.
Now, keep in mind, we weren't dumb enough (even at 16) to even consider flagging down a prostitute in the Combat Zone. That wasn't the point of our trip. The point of our trip was that we just wanted to see them prancing around. Then we'd probably just slow down and say hello and laugh or something; like any scared shitless, nervous, hormone raging 16 year old would do. Let's just say that's exactly what we did. A harmless act of teenage tomfoolery!
Let's just say that a cop watched us go around the block like 10 times as we stared at them and slowed down our car. Let's just say, that the cop pulled us over.
The cop basically knew what we were up to and laughed and told us to head home. He knew we hadn't talked to any of the prostitutes and that we were just bored 16 year olds 'scoping the scene.'
Then he saw the ashtray!
"What is that!!" "What????", I responded. "In the ashtray...that looks like 'cocaine wrap." At this point, we nearly shit ourselves. "Pull down your visor", the cop said. So I proceed to pull down my hat over my eyes like a moron. "NO.. not your hat, the visor above you.. the sun visor!" At this point, after about 10 minutes now, he went back to talking about the wrap in the ashtray. We needed this to end! Nervously, I yelled out, "CMON SIR, IT'S NOW & LATER CANDY WRAPPERS!!!" He smelled the wrappers and let us go.
So, plumber boys that were wrongly accused...I've been there, and it feels like you've been violated! It will pass.
