So I'm riding with a friend to a softball game yesterday. We're stopped at a light when all the sudden *WHAM* we get rear ended. Fortunately everyone was ok, wearing seat belts, and all that.
My friend gets out and goes to speak to the driver. Then comes back pissed as hell. The guy doesn't speak a bit of english and we think he's an illegal. Apparently the guy is also intent on leaving quickly because we hear him start trying to crank his car. So I call the cops while my buddy goes to make sure they guy doesn't run off. Fortunately the cop gets there pretty quick.
The encounter between the cop, my friend, and the other guy goes something like this.
Cop: " I need to see your license, registration, and proof of insurance please."
Friend: "Here."
Guy: "no habla english"
Cop: "Sir...no.. no sir you can't leave. Just wait."
Guy: "no habla english"
Cop: "Sir.. just sit down, sit down, I'll be.. um... uno momento."
Guy: "no habla english"
Cop: "Dispatch.. I'm out at <address given> I need a spanish speaking officer."
Guy: "no habla english"
Friend: *sigh* "Those goddamn <highly offensive ethnic slur> (not repeating it, don't want a vacation) are the whole problem with this country"
Guy: "Hey F you man!! You lucky this cops here!"
Cop: "Wow... you sure learned english awfully quick."
Turns out the guy had no license, insurance, ID, nothing. Cop hauled him off.
