Pop singer Alexander Buinov suffered a disappointment during a recent encounter with the police, the daily Zhizn reported.Being stopped for speeding is nothing unusual for the singer - he is a passionate lover of high speed. "Usually, I get away with it as soon as I'm recognized," Buinov told Zhizn. "Sometimes, it's enough to sign an autograph and sometimes I give them an album," he added.

"This time I was stopped by a young lieutenant. Although he immediately recognized me, he demanded to see my documents," Buinov said. Having noticed hesitation in the officer's eyes, Buinov decided that he wanted an autograph. He signed a postcard and handed it over to the policeman along with a cassette. To Buinov's great surprise, the officer replied: "Please, don't. I like hard rock." Then it got worse: When Buinov offered the autograph and the cassette for his girlfriend, the officer replied: "If she started liking music like that, I would dump her right away!"
