The better thing to do would have been to crush it with your foot and then asked the bank if they had a dumpster to put it into. Technically, all hypodermic needles are considered hazardous waste and require special disposal of the needle itself.

I know they are hazardous waste and should be disposed of as such, but you don't crush it with your heel because you will release whatever if anything is inside onto the ground. The procedure we used was to put them in special holders for safe handling and then dispose of them. The holder resembles a toothbrush travel container ( we use to use the new ones for that too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif and I still have some) Breaking it or monkeying with it was discouraged as that is how people usually stick themselves and as I said you can release what is inside.

Fortunately this one was capped and I eventually disposed of it safely. I could have gone 2 blocks to the local police station
and let them chuck it but I had about 5 minutes to get my son from school so the choices were limited. I either pick it up and go, or leave it.

That sounds fair. I didn't used to have a problem with a butt chewing so much if I got out of the ticket. It used to really [censored] when I got pulled over on a fishing expedition. Just because someones driving an old [censored] or a fast car doesn't mean they are illegal! Since I've grown older and drive a nicer vehicle I don't have the problem with nuisance stops anymore. When I do get pulled over and I know I've done something I tell them to can the lecture and write the ticket. When I get the line on how I rolled a stop sign that I didn't or about how I was doing 20 over when I wasn't I'll get a little mouthy. Some cops like to pull that stunt and if you stutter they know you aren't sure so they go ahead and write you. With the cameras they have in the cars these days they have to write you if they pull you so why take a load off the cop on top of the load the judge is going to give you?

(Notifying the officer that you have a gun sounds like a good idea, but you probably have to give some thought to how you want to word it. )

One of my son's f(r)iends was going target shooting and had about a dozen pistols on his front seat. As luck would have it, he got pulled over. The cop didn't instantly notice the guns.

Keeping both hands at the top of the wheel he said, "Uhm officer, this is in no way a threat, but I, uh, have some guns."

"Dayam! What you aimin to do, boy, start a wahr?"

"Just going target shooting."

"Is that one of them new Berrettas? Can I see that?"

Twenty minutes and considerable banter later, he got off without a ticket.

"Now you drive carefull, y'hear!"
