[QUOTE="FrogCop19, post: 2833981, member: 72359"] *sigh* I probably wrote quite a few of the tickets you guys got. Sorry. There was no nefarious purpose behind them, it's just the rules. I was 26 and fresh out of the academy, relatively young compared to most of the retired FW cops that work there now, and I empathized with the students. Hell, two years prior to that I *was* a student, and had my own share of tickets. But if you are doing something wrong, there is nothing special about you. You are better than no one, and the rules still apply. It doesn't matter if you "just ran inside to check your mail" or "just ran into the cafeteria to grab something to eat." I promise you, I never once went looking for trouble or problems. Hell, I would just walk up to the kids outside the greek houses drinking and just say, "Pour it out guys. Go inside to drink where I can't see you, but if you bring it out here you are just asking for trouble." My favorite story is one time a student had broken an ankle on the carpeted gym down in the Rickel (long while ago...) and I was waiting to guide the EMT's down there in the little semicircle fire lane area on the southwest side of the building (over by where the pool is). There was a car parked there, so I got out and wrote him a firelane ticket. He came running out, screaming and hollering at me, "I was just in there for a second! You're such an ass!" I calmly told him that he had been parked there for over three minutes because that's how long it took me to write the ticket, and that it was reserved for emergency situations. He looked at me and yelled, "What are the chances that an emergency is going to happen in the three minutes I'm parked there?" Serendipity was on my side as just about that time the ambulance came around the corner and pulled in right behind his car. He shut up and got in his car and left. [/QUOTE]
