Where Is That Basket

Franklin , Tennessee -do you remember the old police building? If so , do you remember where the ticket basket was kept? You know what I'm talking about , right? At the end of every shift , the officer's would place their ticket paperwork into this basket to be collected by the shift supervisor for processing.

For those who don't know , people who participated in the Police Academy learned where the traffic tickets were parked at the end of every shift. (this was a perk) Those in the know about this were making money off their friends by sneaking into the basket to remove the paper work on the traffic offense.

Today , there are more people asking , "Just where is that Damn thing again?" That's because there's a little more security around that basket ass compared to the other building , BUTT , if you know someone who graduated from the Police Academy , you already know where it is , don't ya? Besides , academy graduates are not known for getting ticketed anyway , right? Afterall , I mean like , today all you do is drop a name here and there and those little tokens get passed around , cashed in or traded and no one gets a ticket , right?

Yep , leave it to Franklin Police to put "Our" law up for sale or trade.
