Police interactions in legal textbooks
I used to laugh when I'd read the recaps in criminal law cases.
They make it seem like this is the interaction between cop and criminal.
Cop: I say, my good fellow, do you mind if I inspect the trunk of your automobile?
Criminal: Why, of course, my good chap. And could you please pass the Grey Poupon while you're on your way back there?
Cop: Oh bother, I appear to have found 7 kilos of coke in this trunk.
Criminal: My word, old cove. Let us proceed to the station and clear up this nastiness.
