chaser arrested

I have been pulled over more than once while driving through small Texas towns when storm chasing. Was not speeding or anything. We always get seperated and interrogated privately. I know they are looking for drug runners. I guess I must look like one! Even had a gun pulled on me. The cop saw a gun sticking out from under my seat. It was the leg from my tripod.
Thinking about changing my chase vehicle to an old ford pickup with a couple bails of hay and wearing a Decalb seed hat. Might even get a mouth full of chew. Not draw so much attention to myself.

I guess and hope this case will just be dropped and forgotten about quickly. It was really just another petty little nothing incident.

I'm sure many folks said the same thing when Rosa Parks was arrested for not moving from her seat on the city bus. It was the law, right?

“The only tired I was, was tired of giving in” - Rosa Parks

The two cases are by no means equal but serve the same ideal. Some people simply are not going to take it in the butt (as Hollingshead so elegantly stated it).

You better make that a Dekalb seed hat, or the farmers will know "you ain't fer real"!!!

That's actually a good idea, in all seriousness. Once I cut all my hair off, I'll be practically invisible out there

Say it isn't so!!!

Food for thought....maybe the sheriff mistakingly arrested Brian, because he resembled this veteran and well-known storm chaser......who I guess is a very popular man these days!

We should ask Rocky to relocate his chaser picnic right there to that parking space in Crane County. Can you imagine hundreds of chasers converging there ? ;-)

 

[Tyler Allison]

That would be awesome!!!!

 

[Joe Grunow]

That's a great idea! Even in Rocky doesn't want to relocate his picnic, we could have another one there.

Rich,
I can't believe you still have that protest picture of you in your snazzy pants. Even more amazing is the one of me in my sombrero toward the front of the tour vehicle.
