Tag: Officer Pete says

Always keep your hands where I can see them. [All the rules of “Officer Pete says” can be seen here. Got any to add? Please do so in a comment!]

Please sit still when I ask you to.

Please don’t make me nervous or scared. That’s how people end up getting hurt.

If you don’t want the police in your house, don’t call the police. I don’t want to be in your house either.

When I ask you where you live, give me a proper address with a street and a number. Don’t just say, “around the corner.”

In the hood, ain’t no holiday like Father’s Day!

Please tell me the wholestory.

The more you tell me of the other person’s side of the story, the more I’ll believe your side of the story.

Don’t be surprised when I think you’re lying, most likely you are. If you must lie, at least make it convincing. If you’re not convincing, at least be entertaining. If you are neither entertaining or convincing or telling the truth, it is best to say nothing at all.

Don’t worry if you’re crazy or stupid, being crazy or stupid isn’t a crime.
