Only in Oregon......
 

From the 'Keep Portland Weird' facebook page.

GOOD: A Bend ,Oregon policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem--a 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD.' The officer also found the boy had an accomplice who was down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)

BETTER: A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Pendleton, Oregon. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.

BEST: A young woman was pulled over for speeding. An Oregon State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book. She said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State Trooper's Ball." He replied, "Oregon State Troopers don't have balls." There was a moment of silence. He then closed his book, tipped his hat, got back in his patrol car and left.

Wait..... I heard these very same stories about the California Highway Patrol, back in 88

Yeah no one ever said Oregon was on the cutting edge... :underchair:

I heard the same thing about Washington State Patrol when I worked for WSDOT.

I'm sure I'll hear the same thing about Texas DPS now that I'm in Texas.:underchair:

And Idaho, Montana, Utah, etc. =)
