Moroccan Update
June 20, 2008Following the popularity of The Moroccan Incident, I´ve had a number of inquiries from people now interested to know what a Moroccan officer of the law might look like, if only so that they might be able to better avoid taking photos of said officials in the future. Well, I´d like to report that I am more than happy to fulfill this need. Below are some potential fatigues that one might recognize as being of the Moroccan law enforcement persuasion.
Enjoy!

The Moroccan Incident
June 19, 2008Cops hate having their picture taken. I remember traveling through Lake Meade National Park near Las Vegas when my girlfriend was pulled over and given a four hundred dollar speeding ticket. To lighten the mood after the issuance, and after receiving directions to an In-N-Out Burger in the area, I asked if the officer would humor us for a picture with the snowman – he flatly refused, and went to ruin some other peoples days. I can’t think of anyone that hates having their picture taken more than cops … unless, of course, if we’re talking about military personnel.
