misconstrued as perverted
In North Haledon, NJ, you can get pulled over for making faces at kids in minivans. Under what conditions? 1) Out of state license plate. 2) smoking a cigarett 3) pointing or laughing at or mouthing words to funny 10 year olds 4) with cop sitting behind you and watching the whole thing...
He pulls us over minutes later and says, I was at the intersection. Give me your license and registration. He said "I was at the interesection," in such a way as to suggest that I would immediately knew what he was referring to. Blank stare. I'm expecting to hear something to the effect of, "You blew through that intersection before the light turned green," or "You broke the speed limit, " or "you were in the wrong lane to go straight." Well, he was at the interesection, and he "saw what we were doing." What? You got to be kidding me. Nope. Did you know the kid in the van next to you? No. Then what were we doing making faces at the kid? Well, the kid was funny, and he was cute, and he was looking at us, so we made a face at him. What was wrong with that. According to North Haledon police, this can be misconstrued as perverted. What were we doing in North Haledon? Looking for an apartment to rent since we were moving into town in three weeks. We had better use a realtor, he told us. Warning: please use realtors to avoid being misconstrued as perverted. I guess its highly suspicious to drive around in neighborhoods with an out of state license plate. Don't make faces or point at kids in vans you don't know. After all, according to the cop, if you had kids would you want some strangers doing that to your kid?
