PICS
i'm so shaky right now. and having trouble keeping the tears away.
i was just on the bus. doing typical travel things. you know, listening to my ipod, staring out the window, day dreaming about ice cream and puppy dogs. a few stops before mine, a sheriff's car pulls in front of the bus with its lights on. he gets on, moves to the back and an undercover informs a woman that she's being cited for wearing headphones. apparently, having both headphones on while in a bus is a crime. they take her info. they are about to leave when the undercover notices me with my ipod. do you have your id, he rudely asked. i asked why. he informs me that what i'm doing is illegal. that i can only have one earphone in at a time. i was looking at him completely dumbfounded. shaking, i looked through my bag for my id then he took down all of my info. when he saw that my id was from canada, he asked why i was in the country.
this is complete bullshit. as if riding the orange county bus isn't bad enough as it is with its ridiculous service, horrible people and poor routing choices, now this? this inane shit? getting harassed at 8 in the morning is not bloody cool at all, especially for doing something so beyond common. i've never, ever been in trouble with the police. in fact, i've never had to talk to one because of something i've done. so having to deal with this was so stressful.
i informed the bus driver when getting off the bus, sadly whilst erupting in tears and barely being able to speak, that they should probably post signs if we're going to be cited for this.
i called scopitone immediately, completely in tears over this. when he called the sheriff's department to find out what the fuck was going on, he was told that today they are having a zero tolerance campaign. they are making examples out of people, so that possible rapists, or other such types will fear the possibility of undercover cops on the bus. so i was made an example of. me. they told him it was possible that someone else on the bus looked suspicious, and they wanted to scare him. this law doesn't even exist. the closest law to this involves actually operating a vehicle, and not riding the bus. the bus book states one must wear headphones. plural! well done, lying bastard sheriff.
fucking ridiculous. i hate the bus. and i need to calm down still. my nerves are all out of sync. ugh.

What a load of absolute horse shit. Crap like that makes you wish you could beat those pricks senseless. Don't they have real crimes to deal with. That reminds me of a few weeks back when I got attacked by 2 guys while leaving a bar. My friend called the cops while I tussled with the 2 cowards who then ran off. When the cops got there one of them was all askin me what I had doen to piss them off. He was all giving me the third degree about my piercings and rings and stuff. Like it's a crime to wear jewelery. God damn cops irritate the shit outta me. They never even went to lookk for the guys that attacked me. I also have never done anything to attract police attention. The one time I ask them for help and they do nuthin. What a bunch of chumps.
I'm so sorry to hear about that shit. You seem like such a lovely girl, for them to do that is just plain pathetic. Heres hoping they get theirs somethime. What goes around comes around and all that.
You take it easy ok sweets! Smile and be merry and all that shite. LOL
