Two boys from NYC drove down to Texas, where they were stopped by a Texas state trooper. As the trooper got to the drivers side he tap on the window with his nite stick. When the driver put down his window the trooper wacked him with the nite stick. The driver exclaimed what the heck did you do that for? The trooper responded ya'll aren't in NYC anymore, when the police stop you here in Texas you have your window down and your drivers license ready.
The trooper then walked over to the passenger window and tap on it with his stick, when the passenger put his window down the trooper wacked him with his stick. The passenger yelled why'd you do that?
The trooper said I was just making your Wish come true. The passenger replied what the heck are you talking about.
Trooper replied "You wouldn't get 2 miles down the road and you'd tell your buddy that you wish that SOB would have tried that on me"

Whiskey still allowed in the drivers hand and console? Get drink poured in a to go cup when leaving a bar? Texas? Many western states were that way. Better not have looked or acted like you ever heard of weed but drinking was more like something was wrong with you if you didn't do it. So it shouldn't surprise anyone to get knocked over noggin with a billy club for not being able to read a Texas Ranger's Mind properly.

I remember the days when you could pull up to a drive up window and order a mixed drink to go. Kinda glad those days are gone. But now you can do that with “weed”. There’s a pot shop in Burns Oregon where you can pull up and buy joints through the window. 😳. I’m sure they don’t light up and smoke in the car though. It’s probably just cigarette smoke flying out the window when they leave. 🥴

I think it is close to happening here or has happened but its illegal to sip it. The to go rules are due to current disease prevention tactics.

I was ELK Hunting about 15 miles outside of Burns Oregon 4 years ago after Oregon Hay Products became Legal. It turns out the Pastor of Church ( the guy guiding us ) brother and another buddy started a store in Burns. So instead of Outlaw Rednecks growing it and distributing it Illegally now they are Rednecks that were pissed it became legal......but now they get to sell it to the Sheriff's wife...kids....parents etc etc. Now they are HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY......cracks me up in some ways. The hypocrisy is so typical. People that want something to remain illegal so they can make more money illegally and claim to have morals. Then get mad because they have to do it legally but then finally end up with more money but all the people that now figure out who was the Dope Dealer outlaw ( two steps ahead of the Sheriff ) all along.

The worst highway cops I've ever run into were in Mississippi. They were rude and belligerant as Hell, and IMO, for no reason other than exercising their sense of power.

This is a story I read awhile
back (probably an urban myth)
about Elvis Presley from when he was first in the Army and stationed at Fort Hood, Texas !

While driving home to Graceland
on a three-day pass, he was
pulled over by a Texas State Trooper for speeding; when he asked the trooper what the problem was, he was informed that he had been driving at the rate of 85 mph in a 55 mph
zone ! When asked what was his hurry, he replied that he was
trying to get home as quickly as possible because he only had a three-day pass and still had several hours' drive ahead of
him ! When the trooper told him he was getting a speeding ticket and admonished him to slow down, Elvis (supposedly) told
him - " You might as well give
me another ticket now, then,
as I'll be passing through here again on my way back to my
base, and I'll be in an awful hurry
not to get marked as AWOL !"

You're right, and I have some strong animosity towards some of those Georgia LEOs.

For those who are curious....'Cherchez la femme': The French meaning implies that no matter what the problem may be, a woman is often the cause. 'Siuvez l'argent': Follow the money.
