Hey I guess city workers are the same, no matter what city you’re in!

Two things from a fellow Portlander.

1.) It’s actually “Fremont.”

2.) If you get pulled over by a cop on a motorcycle, you’re getting a ticket. Do no pass Go, do not collect $200. Those are the traffic police and all they do is give out tickets. If it’s a cop in a car, be nice and if you didn’t do anything too stupid, you’re probably okay.

In Portland for a meeting a few years ago (when we lived in Eugene), Sean and I saw some guy get nailed by a motorcycle cop for crossing the street against the light. I think we thought it was a bit harsh, but they take jaywalking seriously in the City of Roses.

I too have fallen victim to the big-bike ,small-penis cops. They are an excitable lot.

My personal theory is an over-exposure to sydicated episodes of ‘CHiPs!’. They are probably just sore that they don’t have slavering harems of plantinum blondes in hot pants chasing them around. I mean, we can’t all BE Poncherello, cmon fellas.

Ah, television- a cruel mistress indeed.

Well, I’m not so sure its a small penis thing. I can only speak for Portland since that’s where I work, but the motorcycle cops are strictly traffic so its basically their job to nail anyone who violates traffic laws and ticket them. The upside is, the normal street cars don’t have to worry about that stuff so much so if you get pulled over by one of them its because you annoyed them or they’re hoping you’re a serial killer and they’ll get the arrest.
