Be Careful With Your Personalized License Plate

[Hukk]

This happened about 15 years ago. I was coming home from the coast after a night of dipping an A frame net for nightfish (small sardine size surf fish). My buddy and I were coming home and I was driving at about 15 MPH over the speed limit and drinking a beer as was my fishing partner. All of a sudden I saw the flashing lights of a CHP car. I tossed my beer into the back of the truck (had a camper shell) but my friend just put his by his side. I watched the officer approach my truck and because of his head lights; I could see he had his gun drawn and was creeping alongside my truck. (Mike what did you do, he has his gun drawn) (WHAT?)
The officer reached my door, holstered his pistol and I asked what the hell that was about. Your license plate, it says HUKK (my nickname most of my life) that's a Phillipine gang where I come from and I thought they may have come up here.
Well we ended up having a nice chat, he never mentioned the beer, by now Mike had spilled his.
I had my license plate changed the next week, if a highway patrolman makes that mistake, I sure don't want a gang member to do the same thing, even if I do pack a pistol under the front seat, back then anyway.
I think I aged 10 years, I had no idea.
