Well - it started out as a "routine traffic stop" - but I punched the cop in the nose and shot his tyres out with his own weapon, and in the ensuing standoff they forgot to call backup...

wait - that's how the "movie of the week" version is going to show it..
I got pulled for no front plate. And when he ran my license I guess a pesky unpaid traffic ticket from way back when came up as a "Warrant for Arrest".
So - he invited me to "check something at the back of the car". That's when I knew I was done for - they don't invite you to get out of the car in these parts unless they plan on taking you to the lockup..
There I was in the back of the squad and he called for a flatbed wrecker - but when it arrived he said he did not like the look of the wrecker or the driver - and really did not want to see my car ruined/vandalized for want of an unpaid $10 ticket. And I sure all my grovelling "Yes sir.. no sir - of course sir - no sir - please and thankyou's" may have played a part as well...
The next thing he had me out of the car - hand-cuffs off and sent us on my way with a stern "You better pay that ticket tomorrow" - which I did.
Turns out on top of the original $10 - they got another $120 from me for the entire process.
As I say - all in all a nice way to introduce someone to Houston
