Jiu Jtisu saved me from a ticket

[Ross Davidson]

I've definitely caught it both ways from the police. I treat my encounters with them with the utmost caution.

A highway patrolman saw my gis in my truck years ago, and browbeat me for the next 30 minutes. Mocked me about training, asked when was my next "fight", all kinds of shit. Searched my car for drugs twice, while I had to sit in the median with my shoes off and hands facing upward on my thighs. He found nothing, of course, because I don't smoke, rarely drink more than a beer at a time, and even have misgivings about taking aspirin. Ironically, this made me late for jiu-jitsu class.

But I train with quite a few officers at the sambo club, and they're great people.

Exactly.
