85 in a 55

no lights for my liscence plate

100 in a 35, ha ha luckily he didn't clock me... he was pissed, he's like I didn't clock you so I can't give you a ticket but you better watch yourslef lol

Lastly for playing chinese fire drill, which is when you come up to a red light everyone jumps out of the car runs around it twice then jumps in a different seat they started in

I only got a ticket for the 85 in a 55.

J/K I only pull over people if they are asking for it. I have better things to do than run traffic all day long.

The summer before Katrina took out the gulf coast, I took the family down there to Boloxi. It was my me, my girl and her son in my mustang. We had to be in a hurry cuz we had a check in time at the hotel we were staying at.. so I was moving at a rather high rate of speed. Most of the way there I kept the cruise set at 115 (65 mph zone) Got just south of Hatisburg MS and got into a contruction zone so I slow down follow the traffic through the one lane crap. Got through the work zone and started working my way back up to cruising speed. About 10 miles from the work zone I top a small hill and there is a MS state trooper in the median. Radar detector went crazy! I didnt even look back to see if the blue lights were on I just hit the blinker and pulled over. He came up did the same 'ol license and registration thing. I gave hime all that... He's like "Mr ****, Do you Know how fast you were going?" I replied.. "Yes sir, Im just glad you didnt clock me about 20 miles back LOL" He says "I clocked you 82 in a 65 zone.... I take it you were going faster" ... Me = Yes sir..... I was going MUCH faster. He came back with a "lesser" ticket for me. I got wrote for 74 in a 65.


Another time I was riding shotgun in my friends car in Dallas. We went there for an Everquest convention. It was late at night and we got lost we were on the freeway looking for our exit to the hotel. Sherriff pulls him over. I am in the passenger seat, seat belt on, with a map in my hand. They ask him to get out of the car.. He does... They are back there talking and **** and next thing I know. I got the "partner" tapping on my window with a flash light. I roll down my window he asks to see my ID. I asked WHY he needed to see my ID. I got mad as hell. That pig didnt need to know a got damn thing about me untill I break a law. About the time the focker was talking about taking me to jail my friend is back in the car looking for insureance papers. He grabs my wallet from the center console ( I took it out of my pocket is was hurting my *** sitting on it for 6 hours in the car) But he throws my wallet across the car to land in my lap. Well it didnt.... The cop had my door open by this time I think to take me to jail. My wallet slid across my leg and out on to the ground. Cop picks it up... says... Look what we got here! I found it on the ground so it appears I can search this if I want. I am having a coniption fit by this time. I called him everything cept a man. He DOES end up with my ID and running it in. My friend gives them permission to search the car and asked me to step out. I say ok and proceed to grab my coat from the back seat. Cop yells at me LEAVE THAT! I end up on side of the road freezing my *** of cussing these pigs every way I can. I was so damned mad I was spitting nails that night.

Needless to say... I dont like cops... never have. I dont give em **** if the approach my with respect. But they start with that SMUGG *** way of saying JUST cuz I got a badge your going to respect me! I will give THEM guys hell every chance I get, and I NEVER give ANY of em permission to search my car either. Even though I dont carry anything illegal.

I really think Rent-a-cops at my mall are worse than normal cops. They cant write you tickets but only call the cops on you. I have had more run ins with rent-a-cops than i have with normal cops and it was all for pointless ****. The one rent-a-cop that had an issue with me trespassing on the top of the parking garage got all in my face and was mocking me and kinda implied that i was gay. That really pissed me off but i stayed cool since I didnt want to get a ticket for trespassing or get my car impounded or go to jail. all of which he threatned to do to me. I think from now on im staying far away from the them as possible. /rant.

Hey just out of curiosity do radar detectors work better on some cars than others? Or are some colors hard to pick up?

The reason i ask is this, i have my mustang, but i also have a light blue 84 honda civic with crappy paint. My speedometer crapped out a while back and i havent gotten around to replacing the cable, however, there are many times where i will be happily barreling along passing traffic and i figure im running 10 over the limit in the streets and probably 15 over on the highway, any all of the sudden there is a cop sitting there with his radar gun out clocking people and they always seem to ignore me. Im starting to wonder if the little civic is just not that easy to pick up on radar? cause i KNOW im speeding even though my speedo is broke, it happened again today, i was passing an suv and i saw down the road a cop on his bike on the side of the highway clocking everyone, and once again i KNOW i was speeding.

Hell, once i was on the highway, i was probably going 85mph (out speed limits are around 70-75 depending if yer in the city or not), i was passing another car, saw the cop radaring people, he pulls out behind me and the guy i just passed and proceeds to pull over the guy i passed.

My wife on the other hand, has a 02 Saturn SL2 that is pretty much the same color, she speeds on the highways quite a bit, her car was in for some service and she was borrowing a maroon saturn of the same year and within an hour got a ticket.

were both half convinced that Jefferson County PD's radar detectors dont do too well with light blue cars.

So you basically **** your pants and had a temper tantrum because you were sitting in a car that got pulled over and the cop asked to see your ID as well?

Wow.... so do you throw your bowl through the window if you find out that you dont have enough milk for yer cereal?

No offence dude, but your damn lucky they diddnt taze the **** out of you and haul you AND your buddy both off to jail.

If i were driving and i got pulled over and you acted like that, you would have walked home.

How is asking you for your ID when pulled over not giving you any respect? If I'm not mistaken, it's pretty routine for passengers to be ID'd in a car.

Its not routine where Im from.....I would do the same thing if put there again. I STILL feel he had no reason or right to ID ME in the passenger seat, having commited no crime at all.

Worst part about it is that my girlfriend at the time reached over and was the one honking at another car that cut me off. When the cop pulled me over he asked the usual stuff. A 2nd cop car came and started laughing at the cop that pulled me over. He let me go with a warning.

Dude that is pretty routine.

Seriously, if i were the driver i would have kicked you out of the car. You gotta keep your cool you cant just go flying off the handle like that.

My wife loves those "wildest police videos' type shows, so i end up seeinhg a lot of them, and the thing that always blows my minds are the idiots that insist on escelating the hell out of the situation.

the cop pulls somone over, they dont use a turn signal, intends to give them a warning, nexct thing you know the idiot in the drivers seat is yelling and screaming, the cop decides to take them into the station for not cooperating, they swing at the cop, they get the **** tazed out of them, and now they have several felony charges against them because they diddnt have the brains to keep thier cool and instead decided to escelate the situation for no real reason other than being an idiot.

dont be one of those idiots dude.

LMAO! Well keep watcing your shows.... You might see me on there one day. I never have any intentions on resisting arrest or anything. That night in Dallas I was well prepared to go to jail.

On another note. The laws vary from state to state about this. I even asked about this same situation not too long ago on a police officer forum. Some states CAN demand that passengers provide ID while others cant.

1st ticket...16yo, 75 in a 45=a big *** ticket for speeding, luckily he didn't find the the trunk load of booze in the trunk of the 79 T-bird. The girls always made the booze run since it was easier for us to get people to buy us booze.

Got pulled over by Oklahoma Trooper on my way to Ft. Lewis, WA going 85 in a 55 in 89 Dodge Daytona. Was young, thin and cute and luckily had Army uniform in back which got the trooper to talk about his old days in the military = warning.

Got a ticket for speeding in KY when my teenager was 5. He piped up from the back seat and asked the cop if he was going to take his mommy to jail. Needless to say.... I got searched that day.

He has a right to know who you are. You may have outstanding warrants for your arrest.
That's the bottom line. He doesn't know you from Jack, so if you don't have anything to hide then it's senseless to argue with authority, rather than to submit.

It's kinda like telling your Boss ( Authority figure ), that your not gonna do what he asks, ( insubordination ). Your fired. Simple as that. Cops are on that level not only on the roads, but just about anywhere. If you did nothing wrong then you should have said " yes sir, here's my license. Any other excuse for not doing so raises the big Red flag. Your lucky he didn't yank you out of the car and twist your arm past its limits to put you down and then handcuffed for resisting arrest..

Not liking cops is no excuse for acting defiant when they are doing any type of pullover.

Once again.... If I have not broken any laws then he has no need to question or ID me at all IMO. Dont get me wrong... If I AM in the wrong yeah I comply with what they ask. I go with the program. But in the PASSENGER seat..... HELL NO.... I STILL will not comply.

I have seen too much stupid **** pulled by cops is the reason I dont like em. A friend called me to come pick him up one night cause he was too drunk to drive. Reluctantly I did. On the way to his house I get pulled over for not using my blinker to chnage lanes (ON AN EMPTY ROAD). BS reason to get pulled over but whatever. I comply said yep your right I messed up basicly (didnt argue anything with him) Cop goes to question my friend in the passenger seat. I think just to see if our story matches. The cop asks im to step out of the car while they question him. Being COMPLETELY polite and minding all the rules with no arguemnets by him they conclude we are lagit tell me I can go but take him in for public intoxication. Because he was on side of the road where THEY ASKED him to go while being drunk. That was BS in my opinion. He hadnt broke ANY laws. Infact he was trying to follow them and not drive drunk.

Another friend ... me and him leave a bar at the same time. He realizes that hes drank too much. Pulls over at a truck stop thats 2 miles down the road and finds a place among the big trucks to park and sleep it off. Cops wake him up with the tap on the window. He gives the story... He was TOO DRUNK TO DRIVE SO HE DIDNT! Cops took him to jail for DUI cause the KEYS where still in the ignition.

Too me even when you TRY to do the right thing by these fockers they got some dumb *** loop hole to hang your *** with. And majority of the time they do. Cops do exactly what the fock they want to do. I dont like em... dont want anything to do with em.

that sort of crap happens from time to time, but you cant assume all cops are bad by a few run ins. using this as a point to escelate the problem by being rude to a cop just ups the odds that something crappy is gonna happen to you. Not to mention you could end up pissing off the cop who was just gonna give your buddy a warning and instead he gives your friend a ticket.

You never know, maybe the cop was just pissed off because your friend resembled somone who gave him a ton of attitude one day when asked for an ID. lol.

I know here in colorado it doesent matter what yer doing, if a cop asks to see your ID you must present it to them. I really dont see the harm in it. It isnt like he is pulling you out of the car and searching you, he is just asking for an ID.

yeah too bad your friend did not know it is somewhat of a well known fact being behind the wheels with the keys in the ignition and being drunk is enough for a DUI. I mean hey, obviously he drove there. He probably should have just called a cab or a friend in the first place.

I guess you can do what you want, escelating the situation never really ends up doing anything but screwing you.

The cop asks im to step out of the car while they question him. Being COMPLETELY polite and minding all the rules with no arguemnets by him they conclude we are lagit tell me I can go but take him in for public intoxication. Because he was on side of the road where THEY ASKED him to go while being drunk. That was BS in my opinion. He hadnt broke ANY laws. Infact he was trying to follow them and not drive drunk.

Another friend ... me and him leave a bar at the same time. He realizes that hes drank too much. Pulls over at a truck stop thats 2 miles down the road and finds a place among the big trucks to park and sleep it off. Cops wake him up with the tap on the window. He gives the story... He was TOO DRUNK TO DRIVE SO HE DIDNT! Cops took him to jail for DUI cause the KEYS where still in the ignition.

Too me even when you TRY to do the right thing by these fockers they got some dumb *** loop hole to hang your *** with. And majority of the time they do. Cops do exactly what the fock they want to do. I dont like em... dont want anything to do with em.
I actually agree with you on some of this. There are good cops/bad cops and there always will be. But, getting an attitude with them just cannot end up being in your favor.

They have the authority. And maybe one day a cop will cross the fine line of violating your rights, but it still won't end up in your favor 90% of the time.

in my childhood neighborhood we had this older guy who was the biggest *******, bully in the world, and he ended up being a city cop. And he kept that bully attitude while he was a cop. But you just have to let it go and respect him anyway. He was a big fawker too, Always hated that SOB.

I personally respect any cop I encounter, even if it's for something minor. It works out best for me, so I can go on my way..

i got pulled over once because the cop "thought" i was speeding, but "wasn't sure", he ended up giving me a warning for a blown tag light.

Best one: I was pulled over when I was 17 for streetracing and doing 96 in a 45. Cop let me go with a warning. I still have that warning.....

Stupid one: I got a careless driving ticket for exhibition of acceration. No one was on the road and I never sped or broke traction. That one cost almost 500 to get out of (lawyer fees).

Over the years ‘a few too many to remember them all’
I’ve been pulled over for speeding, too fast for conditions, crossing double yellow line, back lights out and few other things that I can’t remember at this stage in my life. I used to be a rebel without a cause, than one of Uncle Sam’s misguided children. I am older now and mellower.
Threw it all 75% of the time I was let go with a warning. I ALLWAYS treated the law with respect even if they were ********. If I felt the cop was over stepping his bounds I went to court and told it to the judge. The judge always reduced the fine or points or on occasion threw out the case all together.
It’s all how you play the game!!
