All current/past explorers encouraged to add their own. Also, let me clear this up right away: yes, I'm bored.

• Anytime anybody around you does anything, 'the cop' gets brought up.


• If anyone ever sees you with a donut, or similar pastry, you'll never hear the end of it.


• You tirelessy search for any possible loopholes in Federal, State, County, and even City laws and ordanances to find a way to install blue lights on your POV, as well as obtain LE only products.


• You occaisionally refer to ten and eleven codes when engaging in casual conversations, often getting those looks from your peers.


• You go out with friends with your 5.11 Tactical Operator Pant's cargo pockets loaded down, while your friends are wearing skinny jeans and flat-billed hats.


• You are constantly watching people's hands, also getting those looks from people.


• You instantly knew that the term POV meant 'Personally Owned Vehicle'.


• You've driven to the other end of the mall's parking garage to see who's in that marked unit.


• You watch any LE drama on TV and point out all the errors, sometimes getting kicked out of the room.


• You HATE it when people get within three feet of you, even if it's something important.


• You roll your eyes when your peers try to explain laws.


• A teacher asks you a question and you respond "Please refer all questions to my-- oh, I mean..."

*Your friends ask you for legal advice about a party they were busted at...and know exactly what to say.

*You watch SWAT, Super Troopers, and Reno 911 and quote them constantly with your explorer buddies.

*When your friends plan parties, mal runs, and movies for the weekend, you plan gun shows, going to the range, and ride-alongs.

*Non-explorer friends don't invite you to events because they think you'll turn them in (or that could be just me because my parents were also cops).

hahahahahahaha these are soooo funny !!!! Hang in there kiddo and good luck, I know you will do fine and get that shield one day !

I had forgotten one

*You almost get into trouble in class when your teacher discusses how he thinks cops are out to get everybody, and you defend the cops actions.

I've never seen a teacher get so irritated with me.

- when driving you look at inspection stickers to see if they are out of date.

-You enjoy listening to your cities local police scanner and people look at you a little odd.

"better yet you understand your local police scanner and others don't."
