OOPS! O.P.P./ Ruby Tuesday

Oh-Oh! What are those flashing red and blue lights?


POLICE!
But never fear! The police officer turned his lights on so I could take a photo of the them flashing  TRUE!


My husband and I stopped at a coffee shop on a provincial highway patrolled regularly by the Ontario Provincial Police, a.k.a. O.P.P. Two officers were inside drinking, well, coffee. Outside, I was taking photos of their patrol cars. Unbeknownst by me, they were watching. OOPS!

When I went inside to get some coffee, they asked me if I wanted a photo of flashing lights.  Wasn't that thoughtful?

  1. They don't sound like any cops I know! Flashing lights is never a good sign.

    Seriously, though, I have second thoughts about taking some photos these days...I mean, someone might think you're a terrorist and shoot the camera right out of your hands!

    Kudos to EG's nice coppers!

  7. That was nice of them. I had a weird dream last night about the police. They were driving an unmarked Volkswagen Beetle. Suddenly, I realized that I was, um... not appropriately attired. Then I woke up. What do you suppose it means?

  10. Nice! And friendly. Reminds me of the soldiers who let my daughter sit in their jeep with them so I could photograph her with them. They see you consider them important, so they are happy to play it up.

  11. Those are nice officers..they liked the attention I'm sure.

    I know what Jacob means..sometimes I'm about to take out my camera in public but then think better of it.

  13. Hahaha! I did the same when I wanted to take photos of some exotic foods. Most of the shops or vendors don't want photos taken what more for a police car. You're so smart and you got a nice entry.
