Drive By Water Ballooning
Yes, we've all done goofy stuff like this. Sometimes it's been done it from a squad car. We recall many stories about drive-bys in certain districts along with super-soaker fights, balloons filled with ketchup and mustard, bottle rocket wars.
Of course, it's humorous until someone gets hurt - and then, depending on the extent of the injury, it might actually be hilarious. But that's just our dark and morbid side coming out again.

Now that this exempt member is retired we can tell this story.
As we all know some bosses can be A-Holes! We had a little fun with this A-Hole boss when he was on the job.
We filled a dozen of so small water balloons with water and placed them on top of his ceiling fan blades. He always turned his ceiling fan on in his office when he went in these to clear his cigar smoke (back we could smoke in police stations)
Well, needless to say he was bombarded with water balloons when he turned his ceiling fan on. And was screaming like a two year old having a fit!
He never did find out who did it!
Hey, S.C.C., a good topic would be a thread about how others got back at A-Hole Bosses! What do you think?
Ive heard stories of guys who liked each other shooting real guns at each others squads playing Cowboys and Indians
Dont know if its true, but knowing the guy who tells the story, I wouldnt doubt it
Also a near riot was once caused in 023 by an officer allegedly squirting water at particpants in an alternative lifestyle parade, later the evening of the parade as they milled about Halsted St
This I know to be true.
I heard that at the Gay Pride Parade there was gang violence as well.
To date, the Deployment Operations Center recorded.......
(2) Drive-By Pinchings
(1) Drive-By Slapping
Drive by eggings during Halloween are always entertaining.
But the best was seeing some of the stuff done to other watches in regards to their squad cars. Confetti or like material in the vents, road kill under the seats etc., that should be part of the topic.
It's always funny until someone loses and eye!
Many moons ago when I was a oung warrior on the tact team...
It was a beauuuuuuuuuuuutiful sunday morning. It had rained all night. The curbs, especially near the intersections were like lakes, the water deep and stretching almost to the middle of the street.
There we were in our unmarked car. On the corner were "Church Ladies dressed in all of their pastel splendor, wearing their trade mark hats. They also had the kiddies with them, dressed, of course in pastel splendor. Looked like the Easter parade. They were waiting for the bus.
Well, some how the tact car went out of control and we could not control the speed. Before we knew it we were plowing through the lake at the intersection. The water rose and splashed several feet high, leaving a bunch of people, well you get the picture....
TO: 2:06:47 pm; you sir, are a true Asshole....
years ago while working in gangs north..2-of our officers had a guy stopped for traffic on sacramento/wabansia..as the one officer had the driver to the rear of the car the other officer had his head under the dash area looking for (whaterer)..we pulled up facing the other direction and threw a m-80 which landed only a few feet from the officer in the supsect car..while we waited for this to go off the suspect and officer outside the car looked at us and without saying a word to his partner, backed up about 10 ft and waited with us....well i think he sh*t his pants..we are still on the job and he has never paid me back yet...but i know he will...sorry jimmy...
The waterfall effect was best done on Roosevelt under the viaduct weat of Western. They had no chance......
My all time favorite is baby powder in the air vents. Grab a spare set of keys from the radio room for someone's car. Stuff those puppies full, then put the blower on full blast. The poor guy who gets in, turns the car on and gets his own personal snowstorm. That trick went around the watch in one night. We all smelled great at check off.
By no means am I advocating such juvenile behavior...I'm simply sharing it!
My Favorite was to spray mace in the vents of a shitheads car while they were on the hood during a traffic stop. This worked best in winter as they always had the heat cranked up. No greater joy then watching them drive a block or 2 after the stop then bail out of the car coughing.
011 TH DIST WAS FAMOUS SEVERAL YERAS BACK FOR THEIR EGG FIGHTS....I PERSONALLY KNOW OF MANY COPPERS WHO ENDED UP DRIVING OMLETTS FOR CARS....LOL
012th District, years ago, locking the keys in the trunk of a mouthy and verbally abusive shitheads car after a traffic stop, then driving off.
Back in 025 me and "chongo and kurt" were at war basically w/squad car torturery, 1 day I left a can of dog food next to the bridge for 1 week in the summer mind you and i just came back from popeyes eating 5 pieces of chicken, I threw the chicken bones and the dog food all over the car which it smelled like a dead body, right b4 roll car at 1830 there was a segull on his car eating the bones and dogfood. sorry kurt that was my last hoorah!!
best egging ever....unit 715A.....between IIT and the dearborns.....if you're reading this and you were involved, you're no doubt laughing your ass off. good times boys, good times.
TO: 2:06:47 pm; you sir, are a true Asshole....
I, sir, may be an asshole, but I am no ordinary asshole and the worst thing in life you can be is ordinary.
What was really cool is when I used to work in Area 2 and we would have these suspects come in and we would tie those old crank telephone cables to their nutsacks and crank the damn thing. That was priceless!!!!
Halloween Night, 2000--009 1st Watch, best egg fight I have ever seen all night long from 2300-0700, Killackey was doing inspection in the morning and we all got the hell out as quick as we could because we left every squad covered in eggs, anyone who worked that night still laughs about that..
Notice in an OLD 19th District C.O. book: Any on duty P.O.'s found to be in posession of a squirt gun or other water spraying device will be promptly transferred to a District where the citizenry habitually carries REAL GUNS!
Hey kurt do u remember when i vasellined inside and outside 2546!!! Im still laughn
Wasn't Lefty involved in some water-gun episode, spun out of control and hit some old lady crossing the street?
Best one I've ever seen done to a new sgt.
A "Magnum" unlubricated condom filled halfway with equal portions of white hand cream and hand sanitizer mixed very well. Then watching said "Jizz Missle" flung onto front windhseild of his car. The resultant ooze is quite realistic and just as nasty to wipe off!
The dead Rat. Got in the squad and found a dead frozen rat with a 9mm in its head on our dash. Took 2 weeks but we figured out who it was. Well, the circus was in town and happily donated 2 lumps of elephant crap (no kidding) to the cause. One lump on the dash the other under the back seat of the cage car. Dan, we are really sorry. Tommy, you should've kept quiet, we probably would have never figured it out! Gotcha!!!
