Jim's Joke Book
No Adam-12 site would be complete without good clean cop jokes, and since Jim Reed was the source of more cornball jokes than anyone on the show, who better to maintain the joke archives than that master of telling a joke so badly that no one laughs but Brinkman, Jim Reed. If you have a good (or so bad it's funny) clean cop joke, email me and I'll pass it along to Jim. As soon as he quits laughing, or trying to figure out why Pete didn't laugh at it, he'll post it for you.
So this little guy walks into a bar . . . oops, I said I was gonna quit telling that one, didn't I? Too chancy.

A police officer was sent
to talk to a man about his dog.
"I'm sorry, Sir, but we've received a complaint stating that
your dog has been chasing a man on his bicycle."
"That's ridiculous, officer" the man replied, "My
dog doesn't even own a bicycle."

Subject: "What to do
if 911 is busy"
As I was getting into bed the other night, my wife told me I had
left the light on in the garage. She could see light coming
through the bedroom window. As I got up to shut the curtain
(rather than go outside to shut off the stupid light), I saw
there were 2 guys taking things from my garage. I immediately
called 911, but was told that they didn't have anyone "in
the area at this time," but would send someone over as soon
as possible. I said OK, hung up, and waited one minute. Then I
called 911 again. I said, "I called you a minute ago because
there was someone in my garage. Well, you don't have to worry
about that now because I just shot them."
Within two minutes there were 3 cruisers in front of my house, a
SWAT van
and the paramedics.
They immediately
apprehended the burglars. However, the lieutenant was
really mad & said "I thought you said you'd shot
them!"
I replied, "I thought you said there was nobody
available."

A police patrol unit parked
outside a local bar. Late in the evening the officer noticed a
man leaving the bar so intoxicated he could barely walk. The man
stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes with the
officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and
trying his keys on five different vehicles the man managed to
find his own car, which he fell into. He was there for a few
minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally, he started the car, switched the wipers on and off, even
though it wasn't raining, flicked the hazard flasher on and off
and tooted the horn. He switched on the lights and moved the
vehicle forward a few feet, then he backed the car up and
remained stationary as more patrons left in their vehicles. At
last he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly
down the street. The police officer, having patiently waited all
this time, started up his patrol car, put on his flashing lights
and promptly pulled the man over. He gave the man a breathalyzer
test and to his amazement the breathalyzer indicated no evidence
of the man having consumed alcohol at all. Dumbfounded, the
officer said, "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the
station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken."
"I doubt it," the man replied, "Tonight, I'm the designated decoy."

Criminal Do's and Don't's . . .
reprinted from
GCFL (http://www.gcfl.net)
If you plan to commit a crime and run from the police on foot...
*Do* pick a more subtle color to wear than bright yellow pants.
*Don't* invite a uniformed police officer into your home to chat
about a crime you witnessed if you have dope on the table in
plain
view.
When you go on a burglary spree *Do* ensure you have enough gas
in
your vehicle to drive away from your crime scene.
"But I know the people who live here" is *Not* a valid
justification
for burglarizing the neighbors' house when they are out of town.
When an officer is demonstrating a field sobriety test *Don't*
say,
"Well, I can't do that sober!" on camera, and then
plead not guilty.
If you are going to steal a car *Do* pick one that will blend in
traffic better than a pearl white six door limo.
*Don't* answer a question with the phrase, "Who me?"
when you and
the officer are the only people in a ten mile radius.
*Don't* repeat the question that the officer just asked. It's
considered a stall technique and it gives away the fact you are
getting ready to lie through your teeth.
*Don't* say, "I ain't got no dope. Why you wanna search my
car?"
before the officer even introduces himself/herself on the traffic
stop.
*Do* pick an alias you can spell before you lie to the police
about
your name.
*Do* ensure the birthday you give matches the age you give when
lying about your birthday.
When you attempt to drop your dope on the ground when approached
by
an officer, *Don't* bounce said dope off the toe of the officer's
boot.
*Do* come up with something better to say than, "These
aren't my
pants" when the officer finds dope or any other contraband
in your
pocket.
If you are going to jump into a stranger's fenced back yard *Do*
make sure a police K-9 vehicle is not parked in the driveway.
*Don't* ask an off duty plain clothes officer in his privately
owned
vehicle for a ride away from your crime scene.
If you leave your pants, car, and ID at a crime scene, the cops
*Will* probably be able to figure out who dunnit.

New! CHP Trooper
The Pope has just finished a tour of Napa Valley and
is taking a limousine to San Francisco. Having never
driven a limo, the Pope asks the chauffeur if he might
drive for a while. Well, the chauffeur doesn't have
much choice, so he climbs in the back of the limo and
the Pope takes the wheel.
The Pope proceeds down Silverado, and starts
accelerating to see what the limo can do. He gets to
about 90 mph, and suddenly he sees the red and blue
lights of a CHP cruiser in his mirror. He pulls over
and the trooper comes to the window.
The trooper, seeing who it is, says, "Just a moment
please, I need to call in."
The trooper calls in and asks for the Chief. He tells
the Chief that he's got a REALLY important person
pulled over, and asks how to handle it.
"It's not Ted Kennedy again, is it?" asks the Chief.
"No, Sir!" replies the trooper, "This guy's more
important."
"Is it the governor?"
"No! Even more important!"
"Is it the PRESIDENT?"
"No! Even more important!"
"Well, WHO THE HECK is it?" screams the Chief.
"I don't know, Sir," replies the trooper,"but he's
got
the Pope as his chauffer!"

Reckless Speeding...
A police officer pulls a Texan over for speeding, and they have
the
following exchange:
Officer: "May I see your driver's license?"
Driver: "I don't have one. It was suspended when I got my
5th DUI."
Officer: "May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?"
Driver: "It's not my car. I stole it."
Officer: "The car is stolen?"
Driver: "Yes sir. But come to think of it, I believe that I
saw the
owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.
Officer: "There's a gun in the glove box?"
Driver: "Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and
killed the
woman who owned this car."
Officer: "You killed the owner of this car?"
Driver: "Yes, sir... and I stuffed her body in the
trunk,"
Officer: "There's a body in the trunk ?!?"
Driver: "Yes, sir."
Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. Within
minutes, the car was quickly surrounded by police, and the
captain
approached the driver to handle the tense situation:
Captain: "Sir, can I see your license?"
Driver: "Sure. Here it is."
The captain quickly verifies that the license is valid.
Captain: "Who's car is this?"
Driver: "It's mine, officer. Here's my owner's card."
The captain cross checks state records verifying that the driver
owned the car.
Captain: "Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see
if
there's a gun in it?"
Driver: "Yes, officer, but there's no gun in it.
Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.
Captain: "Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you
said
there's a body in it."
Driver: "No problem."
The trunk is opened; and, except for a spare tire, it is
completely
empty.
Captain: "I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you
said you
told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in
the
glove box, and that there was a dead body in the trunk of your
car."
Driver: "Yeah, and I'll bet he told you I was speeding,
too!"

Two policemen were having a
lunch break at a diner. Since they didn't do much overtime they
brought their own sandwiches and ordered soda. The owner saw this
and became concerned so he addressed them. "Look, fella's,
I'm glad you're coming here to eat--it makes the customers feel
safe and all. But I wish you wouldn't eat your own food."
The two officers looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders,
and traded their sandwiches.
