Many of us own shirts and bumper stickers that make fun of cops, and their alleged love of donuts. Is your bumper sticker on your tool box or on your car? Do you have the guts to wear the t-shirt? My friend wears his, and it was only a matter of time before he got pulled over while wearing it.

Coming back from Mt. Charleston in the yellow Lamborghini Diablo—pictures of the car can be found elsewhere on FlyingPistons.com and ReverClothing.com. He passed a slow-moving truck as a police cruiser came around the curve. Memories get a little hazy as to whether a solid yellow line was crossed.

The officer was polite, and our hero did his best to cover his chest while explaining that he only sped up to pass a truck that was holding up traffic. All of a sudden the cop asks, “What does your shirt say?” Figuring honesty was the best policy, my friend answers “What speeding tickets pay for…” while twisting so the officer can see the illustration of cops eating donuts. He now knows it will be a few seconds before he knows whether his day just got worse. The officer will either think it is funny, or things are about to get expensive.

As you can tell by the photo, things turned out OK. You might think it was me shooting this photo of Chris in front of the cop car… It wasn’t. It was the cop, who was a great sport. He even let our fearless friend off with a warning.

We at Rever Clothing have thought about doing funny cop t-shirts since this happened. But we probably won’t, for the same reason we don’t have the courage to put “Bad cop… No donut” bumper stickers on our cars. Truth be known, we love the police and associate with many of them. We’ll keep those T-shirt ideas in the drawer.

So, what should you wear to a traffic stop? Are you kidding? We’re in the T-shirt business. The answer is a Rever T-shirt. We recommend you check out Flying Pistons, Turbo or Treadburst. Get some shirts for car lovers!
