The Lawyer & The Kingston Police

A lawyer runs a stop sign in Kingston and gets pulled over by the Police.

He thinks that he is smarter than the police because he is a lawyer, and certain that he has a better education than any Jamaican policeman.

He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the policeman’s expense.

The policeman says,” Yuh License an registration, please.”

“Why?” says the lawyer.

The policeman says, “Yuh didn’t come to a complete stop at de stop sign.”

Then the lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”

“Yuh neva come to a complete stop”, Says the Police. “License an registration, please.”

The lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”

“De difference is dat yuh hav fe come to ah complete stop – dat’s de law. License an registration, please!” the Police says.

Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.” Does that sound fair to you?

“Get yuh baxside outa de vehicle, sar”, the Police says.

At this point, the Police drape up de lawyer, pull out his batton and starts beating the lawyer all over his body and asks, “Yuh waan me fe stop, or just slow down?”
