Speech 2 Rough Draft

Speech Genre: Cop giving someone a ticket

I would be on Del Playa walking through the streets and see a person walking with alcohol hiding in their coat pocket. I would then sneak over to him in the crowd so I could talk to him. 

First I would walk up and stand in front of him.

• I would ask, “sir, is that an open container of alcohol in your pocket.
• Because he’s a little intoxicated and not sure what to do, he’ll say yes.
• Once he does this I’ll say “ok well then can you come over here sir”, and I’ll grab him by the arm and tell him to sit on the curb.

Next I would start asking him basic questions.

• I ask him whats in the bottle and when he tell’s me I say something such as “Oh, thats dangerous”, even though its really not necessary to tell him that.
• I’ll ask him how old is he is and he’ll tell me that he’s nineteen
• Once he says this I’ll ask him if he knows its against the law to drink before the age of 21, even though I know he already knows that. 
• I’ll then start to give him a lecture about the dangers of drinking underaged. For example…
• I might say that binge drinking can lead to death
• Drinking can lead to violent behavior 
• or drinking can lead to you driving intoxicated. 
• Then I’ll say that I’ve seen a lot of kids go down a bad path from drinking underaged, and that he should be carful to watch out for that in the future. 

After that, I will start to get his information so that I can start to write the ticket.

I’ll ask for things such as…

• His home address
• His phone number
• I’ll even ask him where he was headed too.

Finally

• I will ask him to give me the bottle, and then I will pour it out in front of him
• I will tell him when he is expected in court and why he has to go
• Then as I hand him a $600 ticket I will thank him for making this encounter so easy for me.
