A man who had just been pulled over by police ran backward over a Buffalo Grove squad car Friday morning, apparently in haste to drive off.
Henry Raskin, 70, of Niles, had been pulled over by a Buffalo Grove officer on the 400 block of Dundee Road around 11:30 a.m. Friday for speeding. He had been driving 58 mph in a 35 mph zone, said Sgt. Scott Kristiansen.
"He was not happy about receiving a ticket. (He) apparently was going to pull away at a high rate of speed, but the only problem was that he was in reverse," Kristiansen said.
---------------------------
So add this to the list of things not to do or say when the cops pull you over for speeding.
1) Don't ask them if they perhaps shouldn't be out there finding real criminals instead of hassling you.
2) Don't remind them that you're a taxpayer and you pay their salaries.
3) Don't mention anything about donuts or donut shops.
4) Don't smash into their car after they've issued the ticket.
