Can't Live Wit Out It ...

An attorney is questioning a police officer's credibility in a trial ...

Attorney:

'Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?'

Officer:

'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'

Attorney: 

'Officer, who provided this description?'

Officer: 

'The officer who responded to the scene.'

Attorney: 

'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?'

Officer:

'Yes, sir. With my life.'

Attorney: 

'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?'

Officer: 

'Yes sir, we do!'

Attorney: 

'And do you have a locker in the room?'

Officer: 

'Yes, sir, I do.'

Attorney: 

'And do you have a lock on your locker?'

Officer: 

'Yes, sir.'

Attorney: 

'Now, why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?'

Officer: 

'You see, sir, we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.'
