I feel like I don’t want a cat nearly as much as I used to. I see them all over my dashboard.

An encounter on I-40 W

Police officer: Hello ma'am, my name is (inaudible phrase) and I've stopped you because your windows are tinted too dark. I don't know what the law is out there in Colorado, but out here the limit is 17% (pulls out gadget) and yours are at 27%.
Me: I wasn't aware. My parents had the windows on this car tinted nearly ten years ago.
PO: Oh. (examines license, etc) So, you from Colorado?
Me: Yes sir, born and raised.
PO: Do you have any marijuana in your car? The state laws of Tennessee prohibit the possession of marijuana.
Me: No?
PO: Are you sure? None of your friends have had marijuana in your car recently?
Me: No, sir. I haven't had anyone in this car.
PO: I'm gonna have my dog sniff around. (dog acts like it smells something; then proceeds to claw my car)
Me: (silently cursing the dog)
PO: Are you sure you don't have any sort of narcotics in your possession?
Me: Yes, sir.
PO: I'm gonna search your car.
Me: Okay?
PO: (proceeds to search around the front passenger seat) All right, well, I'm just gonna let you off with a warning; you have a safe rest of your trip. You have a long way to go.
Me: Thanks a lot.
This dude also asked me if I had any weapons in the car. As though a 20-year-old woman who happens to be from a state with legalized marijuana use, traveling alone, is also armed. I have no problem with the standard procedures policemen follow. But this dude had no premise to assume what he did. I'm not even mad about it. I personally think it's pretty fucking hysterical.
