I am police officer in CA (not going to say what city) and am also a HUGE fan of every thing firefly. And i need to share this story with the fans.

It was around 1700 as the sun was going down in my city and i was working my patrol area when i saw a a car with a sticker on its back.

Normaly i ignore stickers, but this one caught my attention, it was a sticker of serenity! my first thought was, thats awsome. the car also had a license plate cover that stated "keep on fightin brown coats"

I had no other choice but to find something wrong with this veihcle and proceed to pull it over and tell the driver how much of a fan i was of firefly.

After following him for ten min he made a mistake and did not signal, "HA" i got him i thought. The second i pulled him over i radio-ed in 961, which means i need no help im good to go, its just me and the driver.

As i stroll up to his window i put on a tough face. i can tell he is nervous and scared and not happy about the situation.

As i bend over to talk to him i say "good day to you borwncoat".

at first he was somewhat confused, but then he caught on and realized that i had a smile on my face and was a fan of the all might show firefly!

i told him right away he was getting no ticket and proceeded to talk to him about the show and movie.

after talking with the individual for around ten min, i got another call and had to split.

Of course i gave him no ticket and never planed too, but that little bit of firefly talk with another browncoat lightened up my day which was already dark because of an earlier call with a 288 (pedophile).

there really is no point to this story other than how the show firefly draws people together and brightens up my day when ever i think about Mals sayings or janes silly ways, and meeting another fan on the road like that made my day a little better.

Thanks for sharing the story. It's always great to hear about finding a Browncoat in real life. I'm sure that the driver was freaked out at first, but he was probably relieved to find a Browncoat had pulled him over.

Police officer,
"After following him for ten min he made a mistake and did not signal, "HA" i got him i thought. The second i pulled him over i radio-ed in 961, which means i need no help im good to go, its just me and the driver."

Kaneman,
I'm I the only one concerned about this? Read what I just wrote....again.....again...slowly.........once more.

Who gives a shit.."from a police officer"..like it's more important than if it were from anyone else...The last thing browncoats want is a shake down from the fuzz. Give your self a ticket for being a pompous ass. We all know any dullard can be a police officer...Shit, Rosco p coltrain ring a bell? The fact you can do that (follow someone for ten Mi.) and laugh about it is disgusting. Could you do that if it were about a skin color you didn't like? A sexual orientation? ..Thanks for validating my thought that cops are assholes with too much authority.....Well, it's true......

Welcome home, Todmcfly (#23444)

It's right shiny to find you signing on with
the finest crew in the 'Verse.

I'll take this opportunity to offer you the
traditional strawberries and a big, sloppy
mug of Mudder's Milk (hope you're not on duty!)
for starters, and then it's up those stairs
to interrogate the buffet. A delicious array
of interplanetary foods awaits you there.

If you attract the attention of the right people
you'll be fitted with a lovely virtual browncoat
of your very own.

Please do not step on ShipsCat or into her dish.

Please promise never to pull me over. I'd have
to towel out my seat afterward.

bun, in CA...

I bet the look on the driver's face was priceless! I know you have a hard job and it must be nice when you have an opportunity to have some fun.

First of all i did not mean to sound like a pompus ass hole, it was a slow night and i had no calls on the screen so therefore it was some what boring out. and i was not giving any one a shake down, the only thing i wanted to do was show him my support and tell him i too was a fellow borwn coat.

for some reason this made you upset kaneman and im not exactly sure why it did. it was a freindly meeting between two broancoats, that was all, the driver did not seem to mind at all, we both left the interaction with a smile on our face so alls well that ends well.

"it was a freindly meeting between two broancoats"


Someone kill me, please. First it is the RWE, now this...Why god? Why? I think I maybe an alien. Really, I try to understand the hairless ape, but find myself getting more confused. I think I need a good old fashioned flogging or a beating with the nougat from a vat of presolidified Snicker bars.......

Great story, and welcome to the site!

Sadly, I've never met any other Browncoats in my town, although I've converted a few. Then again, the Serenity shirts at our Hottopic seemed to sell well, so maybe it's just a matter of time.

You don't have to justify yourself to Kaneman. He just thrives on being a dick. Don't let people like him spoil you to this community.

Good story, I wish the last cop that pulled me over was a fan.
