Police Officer did his job well, constitutionally even.... Drat.
After a while, agents of mortal enemies sort of slip into an uneasy relationship with one another while seeking the other's destruction, like a Russian and an American Spy (or whatever counterpart) sitting on a park bench.... The ducks come for the bread. The connoisseur ducks prefer the bread from the Romanian diplomats, particularly, and the Crumpets from the Brits.
Prosecution: "So yeah, you think you wanna file a motion to suppress? Might piss off the judge on this one?"
Me: "Moreso than usual? Just because the motion might not be construed as baseless?"
Pros: "Might NOT be construed as baseless...?"
Me: "It might be, it might not be. I didn't mention the chances of either.... What? It's technically possible....
"
Pros: "Well we kinda found the heroin, sooooooooo. I mean I don't wanna rain on your picnic."
Me: "The umbrella is never big enough and the ants are bastards, right line of bastards I say...."
Pros: "Yeah, if she's too stupid to take the deal where you get it from felony to misdemeanor and rehab -- Shame really, I didn't think you'd manage (to get) that (deal offer) out of this one--then...."
Me: "Then she's invited to the picnic hosted by the gray bar hotel? Stripped attire required?"
Pros: "Unless you win at trial...."
Me: "Hell or Glory? Nothing in between then?"
Pros: "Well, I don't know how you put up with them. Personally, I cope by jailin' 'em."
Me: "Really [name] you're doing it all wrong. If you really wanted to punish these people you'd sentence them to a day as me, or if you were lenient, just listening to their own excuses on tape forever."
Pros: "Sounds excruciating."
Me: "The taped, repeating excuses?"
Pros: "Being you...."
Me: "You've no idea."
Pros: [snicker] "I don't want to drive them to overdose.... She really called you that? Damn.... That's... that's really ungrateful and disrespectful against you.... Let's continue this and give the little shit one more chance to be something besides stupid."
Me: Crap, I've gotta come back here if we reschedule this? Don't look so sad; it's not forever and it means you get to toss me out again when we're done.
Pros: "Can't do it that Thursday, Fourth of July, and also we're closed."
Me: "Who cares about closed, hot dogs and fireworks, eyes on the prize man.... Sparklers I say.... Sparklers!"
Pros: "One day you'll stop talking so much for these bastards and so well and my job will be infinitely easier."
Me: "Talking so much for these bastards? I never talk so much. You sit right there, so I can tell you all about how I never talk so much...."
Whereupon my client later bitches that I never do anything for her and threatens to hire private counsel. Please do, then you'll be somebody else's headache case
I am going to miss that prosecutor when he retires.
