BAKERSFIELD, California (AP) -- Arvin Mayor Juan Olivares had just one request of a Kern County sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop -- "Don't call me dude."

Olivares planned to file an official complaint with the sheriff's department, seeking to have the deputy fired for what he called disrespectful behavior.

"I asked him five times, 'Please, officer, don't call me dude.' I'm not a dude. I'm 41 years old, I'm a businessman, I'm a Christian and I consider myself a gentleman," Olivares said Monday.

Olivares is mayor of Arvin, a city of 20,000 in Kern County, about 20 miles south of Bakersfield.

The deputy stopped Olivares and Arvin City Councilwoman Carmen Acevedo in Bakersfield on November 23. Olivares, who was driving, said he was ticketed for having illegally tinted windows on his vehicle, and Acevedo received a citation for having an open container of beer.

Olivares didn't dispute the charges. He just took issue with being called dude.

"He was calling me dude and laughing about it," Olivares said. "I don't think Kern County needs that kind of leadership."

Officials with the Kern County Sheriff's Department did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Dude,

I live in Cali and we don't talk like that.

[Scruit]

Dude may not be as respectful as Sir, but it's hardley a reason to try to get the guy canned. He's looking to lash out because of the embarrasment...

[danah]

dude, surfs up bro!

ah yes, we do NOT talk like that in california but if you would like to tease us go ahead. it won't bug me, after all we have chicks that no other place in the good ole' US of A can compete with. florida-nope. Hawaii-maybe but not likely. Maine-close but no cigar.

so, dude, say all you want but do have things that compete with silicon valley or stanford university? can you snowboard and surf in the same day? better yet, do is your governor ARNOLD SWARTS-A-MACALLIT? exactly.

CALIFORNIA =1
EVERYWHERE ELSE =0

(dude)

I had more people call me dude in the south than any place else. Of course everyone in NY is referred to as a**hole.
