Guest WritersIn my time at the National Police, the atmosphere was friendly and if a serious accident or even worse happened, everyone was there for each other. Bullet and knife stab resistant vests were only available for the AE (arrest unit). But there were colleagues who were at least striking.
Two men took the crown. A fire was reported during a bicycle patrol. In order to be on site as quickly as possible, they cycled one after the other, wearing the service cap the other way around with the front one shouting “blue-blue-blue” and the back “ta-tuu-ta-tuu”.
Chasing through the shopping street, stared at by a stunned audience. The ‘highlight’ was that they checked a car with an angry lady at a traffic control. With statements such as “you have nothing better to do” and “go catch real crooks”, there was no question of conviviality. In those days you had to have a right wing mirror if you also had a towbar.
Have you gone crazy? Who has a mirror with them?
This lady didn’t. “Do you happen to have a right wing mirror with you madam?” could count on a burnout. ,,Have you gone mad? Who has a mirror with them?” The colleague looked at his buddy and spoke the legendary words: “Colleague, can you grab the hacksaw from the service car?” “Of course, I’m already gone,” was the reply.
The woman had meanwhile got out and saw with horror that the policeman sawed off the knob of the towbar. It was given to the woman, have a nice day and the men left. Of course she drove straight to the police station, where one could not believe that such a thing could have been done by the colleagues. Until they found out who was involved.
The police chief was involved, a thousand apologies and the damage was compensated. When the two were confronted with the incident, the (correct) answer was: ,,In case of a violation you have to stop it. There was no mirror, so the towbar was partially removed!”
This is obviously not the way the legislator intended it. A story that still regularly passes by at the coffee table.
