Ok, I am an LEO in Illinois, and while on patrol tonight, I had a new one thrown at me.....Have you ever heard of this.

I pull a car over for speeding, 60 in a 40, and when I go to the driver and ask if there is a reason to be going this fast, this is what I got.

The female driver told me that she was speeding as a part of a bet.

She said she was playing a game, called, "Bed A Badge", and that they made bets on who could get pulled over and sleep with the officer, hence the name, "Bed A Badge".

I was curious if any other officer had heard this.

and YES, I wrote the lady her ticket, and while she was cussing me out, I told her maybe she would have better luck if she tried playing, "Jump the Judge".

You know, this sounds like it is stupid, but I thank God every day for my dash cam for reasons just like this.

It is getting to where we as officers get accussed of so much every time we make a stop.

I saved the disk of this traffic stop just in case it does go to court instead of her paying the ticket.

Yes, I always have the recorder on when I make a stop, both audio and video.

I have it set up to where any time the emergency lights are activated, the recorders both come on automatically.

I have been an officer for 21 years in the Army, and 10 years as a civilian, and have had to go to court with the recordings, but I had never heard of this game until tonight.

I too pray that no Officers are fool enough to lose their career over something like this.

I know there are a lot of small departments that do not have dash cams as I have been in a couple of those departments, this can be a very scary thing.

Thanks for this... omg, "Jump the Judge".... priceless!  As far as the new game, it's just a twist on the old one really. 

You guys stay safe and watch your 6!!!

Love the "Jump the Judge" reply. She might actually be more sucessful with a member of the judiciary !!!

C'mon! That's how I met my wife! KIDDING!!!  Great reply though.
