BUSTED!
By Braddah Lance
Ha ha ha. Shweet.
Dis one I HAVE to share!
You hear all of us bitchin' and moanin' about traffic and drivers who no can obey da laws and act impatient.
I dunno why but yesterday I decided to bring my (well, Da Wife's) camera thinking there may be something interesting to take photo of.... 'a'ole.
At least not until the drive home.
I guess I had a premonition or something but fo' some reason I had the camera by my side near the stickshift, cover half way off and ready to go like a paniolo gunslinger. We drive up the viaduct and fly along. Then a truck - going slower than posted speed limit - decides to just change lanes right into our car pool lane slowing everybody down. I start reading the sticker on the red Dodge Ram pickup, "Uso Powered" and noticed a really dark tint - ok, not going say nothin'.
Oh wait, the tint is moving. Oh. Get choke people in there with ehu hair blocking da entire rear window.
So I change lanes to pass and get well ahead of them then as we hit the ZipMobile house notice again there isn't any police there - hasn't been in choke long time, the longest stretch evah like maybe two months. So I already know going get cheaters (wat's new?).
Traffic slow down at the usual spot right aftah and moving along den all of a sudden da car in front of me gives us a hard break check.... WTF?!
I see dat! We all know wat dat means! Our trusty men - & women - in blue stay up front.
Noooooo! You dumb green Element! No let 'em in! Nooooooo!
WASSAP WIT DAT!
Stink eye time.....
Woooooo you fricka! You lucky dis time!
Ho! Wat da heck you doin' tryin' fo'.... cut back in?!
Wop yo' jaw! Ha ha ha! 
BUSTED!
You still got pulled ovah!
Classic Brah!
If you look closely, even da cop stay laughing.
... Good thing I had da camera yeah?
Wassup Wit Dat!

Yah!!!!!! I would have tooted my horn, gave a big smile and shaka to the cop. And remember, I'm the one not to fond of them. Glad to see one guy is doing his job. You must have had one big smile on your face aftah that. BTW, glad to see you finally posted your blog, especially since you was up late last night on QB's one. WWD?

good job on the traffic reporting . . . kinda like those guys that used to be in their white vans taking pics of speedsters . . . remember them?! LOL
i always wish i had my camera on the regular . . . soo many funny/interesting things i could take pictures of! mostly it's people's fashion sense . . . but that's me! one of my mgrs took a pic w/her cell of this client that comes in sometimes . . . she has the biggest, curliest, craziest hair-do (i think she got caught though . . . but no biggie . . . )!!
maybe i'll start whipping out my camera phone . . . but i want to make it discret!! any suggestions?!
July 30th, 2008 at 9:50 am
BL, we gotta pick up the pace ovah hea. Monarchs!!! QB get over 70 posts already. Who was hea first? You was. You gotta cowboy up and teach the newbee, who seems to be pretty good, that the Lanceformers can post big numbers too. I bet you the King stay laughing at you guys right now. No worry, we get your back. You like me start posting 9th...10th...11th...just for get the numbers up. Hahahahaha. Nah nah nah. We understand that you stay working early in the morning, especially since you skip all your breaks, come in early, leave late, and devote 15 minutes to us. You da man...you da man with less posts than QB, but you still da man to us.
July 30th, 2008 at 9:56 am

You know once we wen buss' out our cameraphone (back in da day) and dis wahine literally lifted her top like was Mardi Gras... couldn't take da pic...was too busy rollin' da tongue back in.
.
.

.
.
s/b Everyday?

.
Fo' about ten minutes, den da same stupid Sam's Club thing happened again except was one double scan (item charged twice). At least dis time we got da Q-tips.
July 30th, 2008 at 11:25 am
there's some kind of giddy when you see someone gettin' busted for something!! so stupid that guy...hello? if everyone is slowing down and moving out the lane, that means popo...not for you to go around the people breaking!! HAHAHA!!
hey BL...gotta think up one game already...i might actually work today!! lol!
July 30th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Eh, thanks for sharing, nice to see someone finally getting caught for that one. Not sure on the amount, but I think that's a hefty fine. But I hope they don't switch that lane to 3-person minimum, then we'd be all SOL!
Now if they only bust people who don't use turn signals, cut in front of you when there's only a tiny space or follow too close behind you! If it wasn't for these idiots, I'd still be riding my bike to work!
July 30th, 2008 at 11:29 am
I only wen notice right now. You had block off all the license plates. You pretty good ah. Saves the Advertiser a law suit and gets the cop a comendation.
July 30th, 2008 at 11:34 am
awesome...just awesome!!!! chee huuuu.
July 30th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Nice pics. Das one classic "Wop yo jaw!" scene. Da babooze even wen cut back into da lane. Braddah Lance, you secretly one paparazzi? I tink I going carry my camera too, maybe one hot babe going flash me!!!!
July 30th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Everybody better follow the law because you neva know wen BL going bust you...
July 30th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I was jus' hopin' wasn't your husband again...
.
.
Guilty as charged. I use 'em, jus' not all da time... dunno why. Wen da lane clear I don't but if get one speeding up or if I gotta get I use 'em. I know I know - use 'em ALL da time - I get busted from Da Wife everyday.
.
.
So wat? You one detective now?
Yeah, I jus' following wat da tv news does... no like get busted fo' dat too!
.
.
Now only if could do da morning commute....
.
.
No fo'get to take da pic before you roll yo' tongue back in.
.
.
There's a new sheriff in town and.... can be bought off with beer and poke!
July 30th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
BL - Great job!! I wish all the cheaters would get stopped. We know they were not the only ones...
July 30th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
I was just wondering how dangerous it was for you to drive AND take photos! Hope you weren't also fiddling with your phone (iPhone by any chance?) and checking your blog to compare numbers. Heh heh! As MoOgooGuypAN says, you still da man!
You always crack me up even though sometimes I have a hard time picking up the pidgin the first time around! 
July 30th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
i like when the popo are by the Pensacola post office catching those drivers who try beat da red light turning left from Piikoi and they block da intersection. how many times i see da car turn at da last minute, block da intersection, den realize get popo just waaaaaiting for da light to turn red & then they take off on their segway to tell da intersection-blocker to "pull ova!" but it's best when they try to change lanes & go around all da other cars...they still get pulled over woo hoo!
now if only they could do something about those impatient drivers who no can wait their turn & vroom vroom in the right lane then cut over last minute to get onto the freeway....aigoo i like pop their tires!!
and den you see the sticker on their car says " drive pono" or "relax dis not da mainland" or "arrive alive" brah try reading your own stickers! haha
BL for your next traffic bust we like video
July 30th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Brah, I hope you get that camera mounted on your dash! Its hilarious that guy got caught...good to see someone learning a lesson the hard way. But I gotta say, brah you scaring me! As long as you can work that camera and drive at the same time, then das all good...but, if you stay slowing down fo' take pictures, then the guy behind you going rage! It's like the other day on the freeway, I passed a guy eating a PLATE LUNCH while driving! And it wasn't a mini either...a full-sized plate lunch!
July 30th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
oh well......i guess i'm.......BUSTED!
July 30th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
I know exactly what you talking about munch. I usually try to stay as close to that car in front of me and no let them inside. I figure, if they like cheat, then I going make it hard for them. Especially if they no put their blinker on and assume I going let them in. No way Jose'.
July 30th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
LRob: are you serious? like full-on grinding the plate lunch?!?!? wow, howz dat! must be doing that whole "knee steering" thing. haha.
July 30th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
yep! i always say,"jus because you put on your blinker doesn't mean going magically have space for you!" sheesh sometimes people no even look before they cut you off or be a "ping-pong passer" (saw dat AIG commercial
) abunai abunai!
July 30th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Russian roulette my Braddah, russian roulette.
.
.
Nah, was easy. Da left hand on da pda, right hand on da camera, left thigh on da wheel. How hard is dat?
You private school yeah? j/k - I get one new segment coming.... stay tuned.
.
.
Segway's? Ho, cool! But I wondah if they evah eat it?
Gulp. Guilty again. But I stay different. I no try squeeze, force or "signal" my way in. If da car no pay attention and leave one big gap, I going shoot 'em (stimulus minds stay clean eh) but if no mo' I just go straight. No can no can, no worries.
Wat? You stay undercover? I get dat stickah on my truck... and I know no mo' hardly anybody with dat stickah hea cause you can only get 'em from Maui. Wasn't one white Tacoma dat you seen....right?
.
.
Uh, still tryin' fo' do da camera thing... remembah, dawgs not as good as.....
.
.
Braddah LRob, we stay in traffic - only can go so fast. Plus we wen slow down cause of HIM, not me. Plus I stay coordinacated.
but not enough fo' pound one plate lunch and drive too. Pupule I tell ya!
.
.
Shame shame, know your name.

July 30th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Justice served!!
That's a steady revenue stream, whenever HPD decides to tap that source.
July 30th, 2008 at 3:18 pm

July 30th, 2008 at 3:50 pm

July 30th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
MoOgooGuypAN: Are you trying to encourage a showdown? I think BL learned his lesson already. Heh heh!
OK, stop, you're making me sound mean! I'm actually a bit worried on what kind of future post BL has planned.
BL: Want me to proofread that one first?
Sorry, Tankobu, for getting you all dizzy with food words and love songs. I hope I'm not ruining everyone's sleep as words dance in your head!
opso: Thanks for your initial status update here, just for the effect. But keep it going on the right blog. I like reading it.
