Paternal grandfather died about 10 years before I was born from cancer (yes, he smoked - started with the lungs and spread all over the body, according to my dad).

Maternal grandfather died when I was 18 and on my first semester at university - combination of strokes, lung cancer, and pneumonia.

TopicWhat experiences with cops have you had?
Alex1976

Got pulled over a few times (twice for running a red light, 3 times for speeding).

Cops got involved in a couple of wrecks I was in - got a ticket for one of them (following too closely).

Cops came over to my house when my folks wanted to file a report regarding a stolen laptop. Before they arrived, my mom called a (now ex) friend of my brother's and somebody else who was here when the laptop was discovered missing. Reason why I said ex-friend of my brother's was because he was the one who took it - I suspected he did when Mom let him know the cops would be coming by just to get a statement, and he issued a vehement denial he took it. He was caught red-handed with it about a month and a half later - his parents and my parents struck a deal so he wouldn't have charges pressed (lucky him, if it was up to me, it would've been "Book him, Danno").

Cops came over to my workplace once when a homeless bum showed up (probably drunk or strung out, I don't know) and was a real nuisance - they took that loudmouth, slapped on the cuffs, and got him out of there.

In all cases, they were polite and professional - one of those times I got pulled over, they cut me some slack when I admitted I was going too fast, keep up the good work.
