Here is what not to do when driving while dressed up. My cousin, Jim is a police officer in a major city in south west ohio and he told me an incident that happenend last year (He does not know about my crossdressing). He was doing regular street patrol at 3am in the morning when the car in front of him gunned the gas through the yellow light. Jim caught up with the car down the street and turned on the overhead lights. He was just going to give a friendly 'reminder' that yellow means slow not accelerate. (Jim claims he hardly ever writes traffic citiations except for wreckless driving and speeding in school/construction zones.) Anyway the car didn't pull over right away so he beeped the siren a couple of times. After 4 city blocks of lights and siren beeps, he was about to call in a pursuit when the car pulled into an alley and stopped abruptly. Jim called for back up. Him and another officer approached the car and saw a person with a paper bag over their face. Jim politely asked them to remove it and they heard a husky no; surprised him since the person was wearing a mini skirt. They asked for license, registration, proof in insurance, and heard a no again. The 'subject' gunned the gas down the alley, but a dumpster stopped their 'getaway.' After pulling the subject out of the car and cuffing them did he realize it was a man dressed like a woman. He was brought off to the city jail.
It got me thinking about what the cd should have done. I was a volunteer police officer for two years and tried to see the incident from both sides. Here is what I came up with:
1. Stop ASAP in a safe place i.e. shoulder, gas station
2. Don't try to hide who you are. Provide all documents requested. Obviously the officer would probably be taken back, but they are profesionals. They have seen worse stuff, TRUST ME. They will ask you questions why you are dressed and be honest (Unless you were prostituting then lie) **sorry if that offends anyone** Many male criminals dress like women to throw off the police.
3. Remain calm and consistant. Don't act like you are wired on drugs.
4. Don't give them a reason to take you to jail. TRUST ME again, you do not want to spend the night in a jail with 50+ male criminals while dressed like a woman.
I was just wondering if anybody has been pulled over while dressed. I would like to hear about their experience.
