this is from Missouri and this isfrom people Magnet. So people should be
very careful how they text because youdon't know where your text is going to.
And you should also not offer toomany details in a text. I
don't even curse in my text.I use symbols I do because I'm afraid
of my mom. My mom mightget it, or something like. I
don't even curse of my text Inever do or my messages. So so

(00:51):
a Missouri police officer was, youknow, getting his messages for getting a
wrong text from someone come trying toconvince him that he was a girl that
you know, he had been outwith before. Right, So he goes
the cop text back says, well, you know, he didn't tell him

(01:15):
he was a cop. And hesaid, look, this is I don't
think it's I'm the right person.And the person proceeds to mention that oh,
yes, we got high together tothe copy to try to convince the
cop that, hey, let's goout Friday. You remember last time,
you know we we we got together, we got high together. And so

(01:38):
the cop sends back and says hesends back his badge and a picture of
his bad saying, um, Idon't think that was me last time,
but you're sure you want to godo this right? And this dumby didn't
realize, oh wow, wait aminute. In the first it tells you

oh, yeah, remember that timewe got high? Right at this
born disappeared, didn't respond after thebad yeah, bashi, of course they
did. It's like, oh dope. So the cops started to have some

(02:21):
fun with him, just starting tocome back and say, hey, what
happened us going to hang out?You shure you want to go hang out?
And at first of at this time, it's probably spooked, you know
that they got a cop and theymentioned drugs. But the cop was like,
yeah, pretty sure we didn't gethigh together. But uh, he

(02:42):
basically smiled and it was a joke, you know, to him. But
this person was probably terrified, thinkingthat they're probably gonna come and get you.
Yeah, we got high together.No, that wasn't me. But
anyway, this cop has been goodnature. He's funny, he's laughing about
it. Of course he's not gonnago arrest a person. But just be

(03:05):
careful who you text. This isfrom win This is from Winfield Police Department
in Missouri. And this person's nameis They didn't mention a person's name,
right, but they know who theyare and they're the dummy for the week.
Have you ever have you ever textsomeone and you thought that it was
a person that you would texting,but it was it was incorrect all the
time, all the time. Well, actually it happens once every couple of

(03:30):
weeks, but it's usually something inlike innocent. So it's a complete stranger
or someone. Oh no, notI've never texted a stranger. Well I've
texted a stranger before, but itwas an old phone number, right that
it was in my phone and anumber changed, right, something like that.
Okay, but but I don't textanything embarrassing or anything like that where
I think, you know, ohmy god, it's embarrassing, but I

(03:53):
text wrong numbers to where I'm like, okay, sorry, this person changed
their number something like that. Butit's never anything that I'm ashamed of.
Well, I mean that's good man. I don't curse, that's for sure,
on my text because I don't wantany wrong person to get it right.
And you don't talk about you know, personal things. Yes, yes,
I think people are I don't sendanything like that and ever. Yeah,

(04:14):
because once once it's out there,it's it's out there. I mean
even even even to the point whereif there's some things which may be deemed
as controversial. You know, Iknow that you're You're a little bit different
than on social media. On Facebook, where something's controversial, you kind of
meet it head on. I'll postsomething which seems controversial, but then I'll
just ask the question your thoughts,you know, what do you think about

(04:35):
this? Right in trying to getit And there's been instances where I would
put something on there and I justsay, okay, your thoughts, and
then other people would come in andbe very aggressive in their in their speech,
and then I noticed that you comein and kind of kind of clean
things up for him. I appreciate. Yeah, but yeah, I've never

(04:56):
I've never text someone that. I'venever texted someone that it was a wrong
number. Um, you know,It's one thing text mind with the wrong
number, but then when you putsomething in there, it's kind of embarrassing.
Don't do that. You don't mentioneddrugs and crime. Remember we did
this story about the love Gov.Yeah, the love Gov. He was

(05:18):
sending sweet nothings to his girlfriend,but his wife got the text right,
remember that. Yeah, he hadto resign behind him. He was a
government of Alabama. Him. Yeah, him, We called him the lovebug.

(05:38):
So yeah, people just not careful, Yeah, texting explicit things or
just things that they shouldn't next.I mean it goes to show that it
used to be that if you wantto talk to someone, you would call
them as opposed to text. Right. And I think we've talked about this
before with m with our producer,that he's very he's highly liked to text,

(06:00):
but he's very unlikely to be ableto talk to on the telephone.
So you know, and and Irealized that, you know, a lot
of times people think, well,I'm too busy to talk on the phone,
but I'm not too busy to communicatewith my thumbs. Right. So
one way that you can always thatyou're talking to the right person or texting
the right person is to voice recognition, you know, I mean I would

(06:24):
rather do that than than than text. Well, you know a lot of
the people that my sister, sheworked at Verizon for many years, and
a lot of people, um wouldtell them that they were coming to get
a phone and they wanted to getbetter at texting because that's the only way
they could communicate with their grandkids.That's funny. Yeah, they don't know.

(06:48):
Yeah, that's they said. That'sthey don't call, so in order
to communicate with the grandkids, theycan learn how to text. Yeah.
And my VCR, my VCR rustthey are blinks twelve. Oh you're our
VCR, not our VCIA right.And on the internets, al gore right

(07:14):
right, so, um ahead,so and and and sometimes when you do
these dummy stories, there's sometimes areal dummy. Like you heard of these
uh these car pool lanes, right. I just the story came out just
a few weeks ago. This guygot arrested driving in the car pool lane.

(07:35):
And you know he supposed to havecertain number of pastors where he had
a dummy in the back seat,a real dummy, right, And they
arrested both of the dummies. Don'tyou think they know this trick. When
I was in California, and Ilived in California, we would see that
all the time. In the expresslane. You would see someone that have
that they're supposed to be a carpool, so that have not just one

(07:57):
one dummy in the in the pastorseat, but they have two dummies in
the back. So so we gotfour people here. What do you get
a dummy? Do you make water? I don't know, do you make
your dummy at home? I meando you get like, well, what
do you steal a mannequin? Imean, what do you right? Right

(08:18):
right right? There was there wassomebody that was living in my apartment complex
that uh, they actually had adummy in the car, but it looked
like Freddy Krueger, Oh my god, and so in the passenger seats.
So you needless to say, whenyou're walking by that at night and you
see something that's kind of it's kindof you know, startling. Is it
really worth it? And it's afine five hundred dollars for some sometimes in

(08:41):
these cases really yeah, for havingto for having a getting caught with a
dummy, I mean it firing allthe fine? Wow, at least in
California. Well, I mean,they're hurting for money anybody, right,
but it's like your text dollar,is it really worth it? You know,
I'm gonna go through all this troubleof making a dummy the stick in

(09:03):
my car and if I get caught. I mean, it's just the artistic
part of you know, the natureof the creative part of being in California.
You know, I am just don'tunderstand it because if the things that
people go through to get around rules, you know, yeah, and then
of course the rules are for everybodyelse or not for it exactly. And

(09:24):
you know, a cop knows allthe tricks, and you would hope,
I mean, they're officers of thelaw. They would know loopholes, right,
well, they know things people do. It's like, okay, you
know, when you're looking at somebody'sback seat, what a real person looks
like or dummy looks like? Yousee this funny looking thing in a back
seat. Oh, I'm fooled,you know, I thought that was your

(09:45):
wife. Sir. I'm just notdoing it. And then when you get
caught, that's you have to goto court and they have to read the
charges against you, and I wonderwhat is the charge? Yeah, well
I mean they don't mention the dummyand your charges. You know what I'm
saying. Right, you're driving inthe express lane and you don't have the

(10:07):
authorized number of persons. Yes,yeah, yeah, having an illegal dummy
or like. But I mean whenyou think about it, I mean they'll
spend the time to pull that over. I mean, given given all the
stuff, all the other crimes thatthey could be be uh stopping or but
you're gonna pull that over, youknow. I just had, like like

(10:30):
Lyndale here in clear what they gotrid of that speed trap in Lindale or
did they did? Just said touse cameras. It took so many years
but they got really they had toomany court challenges to it. Well yeah,
I mean it's for those that don'tknow. Lyndale was this one bet
room community that one city block down. They had one cop and his only
job was to catch speeders coming throughthat one mile stretch of highway right and

(10:52):
they made a ton of money doingYes, they did. The FCB Radio
