Isn’t it insane when cops stop you for the craziest things?

This guy shares how a cop wouldn’t believe that this guy had to take frequent short breaks for nature’s call and demanded to see some proof.

You won’t believe what this guy did next, check out now!

You want proof that I’m actually doing my business? If you say so

This malicious compliance has brought to you by my trip from Chicago, IL to Los Angeles, CA.

This happened just a few hours ago somewhere in I-40 WB in New Mexico.

I was suddenly in need to relieve myself badly, so as usual, I pulled over to a clean, wide highway shoulder, then I put my log book to “Off Duty”.

This is where it gets funny!

Note: this isn’t my first time today doing my business.

I have a habit of being very meticulous with my driving time. Which means, when I’m not doing anything, even for 30 seconds, I put my time in off duty.

I tried to save as much driving time as possible, those multiple 30 seconds can add up to a lot to avoid doing 34 hours reset too soon.

He was not expecting that!

I looked at the passenger side window & sees multiple cars passing by. Turns out, there’s a road where cars drive by on the side of the highway.

Doing my business on the highway shoulder, nope! Instead, I did the alternate route, do it in a bottle, seal it, and stow it for trash later.

Just as I finish doing my business, I heard a knock on my passenger door. Very weird, because this is at the highway shoulder, where no one should randomly be walking around.

UH OH…

I stow away the bottle and go look who it is and it’s a cop. I was thinking, crap, this isn’t happening.

I switched my log book to “On Duty – Inspection” and go answer the cop.

Before I could say anything, the cop asked me to see my log book (it’s part of their job to check whether we comply to the rules or not) so I show it to him.

The graph looks like a heart monitor, as I was relieving myself probably 4 or 5 times per day (tiny bladder problem).

He knew what he had to do!

The cop questioned why I was off duty for 30 seconds to 1 minute every 2-3 hours almost everyday (electronic log book can be backtracked up to 14 days).

I explained to him that I have to relieve myself every 2-3 hours, give or take.

The cop didn’t believe me and assume that my truck had a problem, that’s why I have to stop every 2-3 hours. I repeated myself about my bladder issue but the cop still didn’t believe me.

Instead, he said:

That’s INSANE!

-Cop: Unless you have proof that you’re actually relieving yourself, I’m afraid I have to give you a ticket for false usage of log book.

Cue malicious compliance.

I told the cop to wait a moment and went back inside my cabin. I grabbed every single bottle of urine that I’ve been collecting today and the previous day (I haven’t had the chance to throw it away), put it in a plastic bag, and for extra measure, grabbed the newest one out of the plastic bag (it was still warm).

That must have been so GROSS!

I showed the whole bag to the cop, plus the warm bottle, told him it’s the newest one I just did a few seconds ago, and asked if he would like to hold it for further inspection.

The cop had the mixed look of disgust & horror. He was literally gagging, so I put back the evidence back inside my truck so he can recover. Then the cop says:

“I was expecting doctor’s note or something like that. What you showed me was disgusting!”

-Me: But you asked for proof that I was, in fact, relieving myself.

Finally the icing on the cake!

I was holding back my laughter so hard that my cheeks started to hurt.

Then he gave me back my log book and told me to have a good day, then drives off.

Have a good day, indeed!

I took an extra 1 minute on the shoulder to laugh until I’m satisfied, then I’m off to drive again.

EW! That sounds gross!

Why would the cop make a huge del out of such a small time off work?

Let’s find out what people on Reddit think about this one.

This user thanks this guy for properly disposing the bottles.
