NJ Trooper Wasn’t Prepared to Meet the Man He Pulled Over
An Old Pro
Patterson went about the usual procedure, taking the information of the driver and informing him of the situation.
Buying time, or maybe trying to get out of a ticket, the driver started talking with Patterson. He told Patterson that he himself was on the force and had retired a while back. Patterson couldn’t resist a conversation with a retired officer.

An Old Pro
Pattersons life-long regard for the force made him an eager listener to the stories of the retired officer.
The retiree was more than happy to reminisce about his days in the force, especially if it could get him out of a ticket.
