Kingman Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Has anyone ever been let go from a situation where you should have had multiple tickets? Here's one from earlier tonight. I was pulled over for squealing my tires around a corner, that cop was on my ass with lights on in a heart beat. I pull over and when the cop gets out I hear "put your hands on the steering wheel." Heart rate up. I do so and look in my side mirror and the cop has her gun out and pointed straight at me. Heart rate really up now. I'm also driving on expired tags due to the truck not passing emissions yet. She puts her gun away after a few moments and I give her my license, registration, and insurance. I'm thinking I'm going to get NAILED (this cop is notorious for being a complete bitch). She then tells me it's a $124 ticket for not updating my address on my license. Great so I'm going to get multiple tickets... she goes back to her car and another cop car shows up and had his gun ready too. Heart ready to come out of chest. Somehow I didn't get a ticket for anything, just a warning, and she didn't even say anything about my tags! I am so lucky... Ha. Anyone got any good stories where you should be behind bars or in dept to the local court house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 WTF DUDE? Cops sound much more harsh down there than up here. My lucky to get out ticket was in my old supra. I was down at the kent street races meet up spot just cruising through meeting up with some friends. Didn't have insurance at the time and this cop is following me through a parking lot, so just to get him off my ass I pull into this stores parking spot, store is closed, and I pull into a spot with a "no trespassing" sign right in front of it. Cop comes up to the window and says he's gonna cite me for modified exhaust (it was a 2.25" straight pipe already on the car when I bought it) and trespassing. I told him that as far as I knew the exhaust was stock and that I was only down there to meet up with a friend to off load some spare parts I had and not to race. Which was semi-legit, my car was laden down with parts and I tell him I don't have insurance. so he takes my license and registration, comes back a couple minutes later and he says he better not see me down there again tonight and sends me on my way.

Kingman Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 No insurance? That's really lucky, it's a $500+ ticket here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Yeah, sadly I have quite a few no insurance tickets under my belt. it's a 550 dollar ticket in WA. Never been in an accident with out insurance though, which I find rather ironic. And when I have had insurance, and been in accidents, the other driver hasn't had it.

edicer2 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I get pulled over for stupid @!*% all the time. One time i got pulled over for having the foglights on my roof uncovered? They are factory and dont have covers theres nothing i can do about it. I didnt even have them on lol. They just saw they were uncovered and pulled me over for it. I figured i was going t oget a exhuast ticket because at the time i just had a flowmaster 40 no cat and smoked tail lights but just got a warning for the foglights. She was a bitch about it when i tried to say they are stock and came on the truck like that she got super pissed and i was going to show the window sticker because it says aux foglights right on along with off road package lol. Then onetime i was in my z and i had some bad rear struts and worn out shocks when i first got it and when i was shift or give it any gas at all the rear end would squat fo a second making it look like im trying to haul ass. Well the cop didnt turn his gun on just said "it looked like your were going to fast" and i have a digital dash and i saw the cop so i was making sure i was going 5 under so he had no reason to pull me over but i got it anyways lol. Ticket free though So far i have been pulled over 9 times in the past 3 years for about the same type of issues never speeding or doing anything i shouldnt be just a dick head cop that was bored and wanted something to do.

swapdip Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Once on our way out to Bonnaroo I got pulled over in the typical corridor for speeding, anyways I made the mistake of leaving some rolling papers on the dashboard and that brought out the dogs. Well, we were a bunch of stoners with a lot to hide, but luckily we jammed everything into a peanut butter jar. The cops took apart every single thing we owned, and once when one of the cops was holding that peanut butter jar my heart was ready to leap out of my chest, later my gf told me I was looking super vascular because my heartrate must have been a mile a minute. Anyways fortunately they passed it over and we were released without even a speeding ticket. I will say one thing tho, Tennessee cops are true gentlemen. Even tho we beat them this time they were very polite and professional, I have a lot of respect for them. So yeah lesson learned if you are going to drive halfway across the country in a truck full of tye dye on your way to the biggest festival in the country, take it easy on the throttle.

ahardb0dy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I got pulled over one time driving my 87 Hardbody, there is a really big hill back home where I used to live with like a parking/overlook area on the top, I was coming down from the top and had the truck up to 105, next thing I know I get pulled over, cop takes my info and after a few minutes comes back and asks me if I'm related to some other people in the next town over with my same last name, I knew I wasn't but told him I might be, so he hands me my stuff back and tells me to slow down, I asked him how fast I was going and he told me if I tell you I have to give you a ticket, so I said ok bye!! C-YA!!!! few years before that was on my way home driving my ex gf's 87 Z24 cavalier, it was the day before I was to pick up my new 87 hardbody, got pulled over for doing 85, didn't get out of that one though!! used to get stopped all the time for my loud stereo, one night a cop pulled me over due to the stereo, he said he felt it from across the street! no ticket but he pulled out the "tint meter" and checked my door tint!! no ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowser Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) No insurance in Ontario Canada is now a $5000.00 MINIMUM to a Maximum of 50000.00 and permanent loss of license. I've received a 5000.00 one when i was 19 and still keep the receipt in my wallet 14 years later as a reminder. I'll tell that story some other time. Now as for MY story. I'll tell it in an Old Fashioned Dowser way to appease the Old Relics on this board that miss my story telling ways. I like to save this for a good occasion and this story is just such an occasion. This story is about when I was 15 YEARS old. I was at a house party at my friends house with everyone having entirely too much to drink amongst other things. My friend and Party host asked me to come along for a ride to pick up some more girls at a place about 20 minutes drive away. I of course agreed since that put me in a position to meet these women before any other people at the party, giving me first dibs on any fine piece of ass that may be there. Soooo, off my buddy and I go to pick up these women with his Mothers Car which she had no idea we took. Now I'm not caring in the least that my friend, who is clearly not at the top of his game, will be driving. I myself, have had nothing to drink but instead opted for a tab of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide So when we arrive, there's 5 girls all dressed up and ready to party and this is the moment I realize how great it is that I came along since its only a Volvo sedan with seating for 3 in the back. 4 if you squish and 1 on the Passenger's lap. So off we go back the party and my friend feels he'd like to impress these fine young ladies by speeding down an old single lane road. As we're driving I notice off to the right in an area that was usually only a field, a pair of lights from a cop who has conveniently stopped there for whatever reason. I mention to my friend that there is a cop there and he decides to take a long, straight, side street to try and LOSE him. He turns the corner and GUNS it. He's now driving about 170 km/h down some lonely side street, that could Easily kill anyone walking a freaking dog or whatever. He turns to me and says, "Did we lose him" I struggle with this girl on my lap to turn myself around to get a view since he cant see anything with all these people in the car. I turn to my friend and say, "He's about 5 feet from your bumper but he doesn't have his cherries on yet." To which he replies with his vast knowledge, "Well it mustn't be a cop then." A few moments later the Police Officer decides to put on the lights and give us the WHOOOOOP WHOOOOOOP chirp. My friend is being oh so very responsible immediately pulls over. Now.... as you can guess, I'm getting to be pretty damn high right now and this situation "might" turn my good trip into a bad one. The cop comes to the door and says, "Whats the Hurry?" to which my friend decides to be Completely and Brutally honest. "Well, I didn't know you were a Cop." I chuckle a little at the answer. With a hard look at my friend he then asks, "Had anything to drink tonight?" My friend sticks to his decision and says, "About 7 or 8 beers i think....." I can now see this is not going to go very well. Cops next question. "Where ya going?" The response.... "Back to my house before my mother notices I took her car" He then peers over at me and the girl on my lap, and in the back seat and gets a look at the 4 other girls. I can't help but see a smirk on his face. He then says, "Drivers License and Registration." My friend goes to hand his license over then realizes that he did not bring a wallet. The girl on my lap is rifling thru the Glove box for the registration but cannot find it to produce. Any hope at this point I had of going back to the night that was planned is far removed from my mind and I have no idea what is in store for me but i presume it will have 4 walls and at least 1 of them being made of bars. "Everybody out of the car" and we all start piling out. He starts going around asking for ID and finding out what everybody has been consuming. All the girls are at least buzzing that's for certain. When he gets to me I produce a high school student Id. Clearly not what he was wanting. "Wheres your drivers license?" he asks to which I reply, "I don't have one." Now he starts to grind me a little. "How old are you?" "15." I reply. He then asks, "What, and how much of have you been drinking." to which I get an immediate crap eating grin. "Absolutely Nothing" He lifts his eye's from the pad of paper he'd been jotting everything down on, "Nothing..." He says in disbelief in a way that clearly shows he's annoyed with my answer. "Not a drop, and if you have a breathalizer in your car I can prove it." I exclaim and I'm very excited at the idea of actually blowing in one since I'm higher then a kite and it seems like it would be pretty fun considering the circumstances. "Oh I have one." He states clearly trying to coax me into coming clean. "Bring it on." I say and smack my hands together and start rubbing them in anticipation. He gives me a long look over and finally goes back to my friend. "Pop the Trunk" he says with the aim of finding the stash of Alcohol that he thinks we'll no doubt have. But instead he, as well as all the rest of us, get a huge Shocker. You see, What I have failed to mention about his mother, is that she is an Antiques dealer. And just earlier that day she had been packing up her car with a bunch of stuff to get ready for the store. Turns out what she had packed, was boxes and boxes of. . . . . Jewelery. Gold, Silver, Gems.... and a LOT of it. "And whats all this?" He says to my buddy who's eyes are huge with surprise. Now as he's trying to explain I just can't help myself any longer. I start laughing... and the kind of laughing that just wont stop. I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying and I fall over and roll around. Everyone starts staring at me and the Cop says "You think this is Funny?" in a way that suggests I'm showing outright disrespect. I try and catch my breath enough to talk without interrupting myself with outbursts of laughter, but I clearly cannot, so I start anyway. "Don't you see?" I say. "Take a look at this situation. You've pulled us over for speeding, in a stolen car, while drunk driving, with no license or vehicle registration, there's way too many people in the car, and we're all with the exception of myself underage drinking, and to top it all off, there's a bunch of freaking boxes full of jewelery in the trunk. WE'RE ALL GOING TO JAIL! And probably for a LONG time!" I shout and then start bursting into laughter again at the mere thought of how on earth I'm going to try and tell my family how this all happened. Everyone is just still, looking at me with blank faces since its obviously so true. The Cop after a few minutes of silence closes his book and say to my friend. "Get in your car, Drive SLOWLY home, and I swear to you if I ever pull you over for anything even remotely like this again, I promise you that what your friend just said there will be true. I don't want to see any of you again tonight, and if I so much as get a call about excessive noise, I'm gonna take you all in and we can start this whole process. Clear?" In absolute shock everyone piles into the car and my friend says before the Cop walks off. "I'm so sorry officer and thank you so much." The Cop whips around and says... "No! You better just keep that mouth of yours shut, don't say a damn thing. Don't apologize, Don't thank me, cause I can't even believe I'm letting you all go right now." And with that we drove off.

pathyboy12 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 i dont think i can top dowser but me and some friends went down a back country road in the middle of now where. there was a bunch of farms and a butt load of mud! we were just whiping around on the roads and the a farmer called the cops on us and when the cop came out a little while later my friend didnt see him and almost hit the cop. the cop told me to come over and "have a little chat" he took are licenses and registration but what i didnt know is my friend in the other truck was loaded, he had an illegal knife and weed in the back of the yota. he told the cop about the knife but not the weed. he said the cop was looking hard in the back, and thought the cop could smell it. but luckly the cop was cool and said he did this stuff when he was young and didnt care to much. then as we were going home my friend almost hit the cop again!!

Kittamaru Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Wow... no such luck here... I get pulled over for all sorts of stupid crap - most of the time the "yes sir no sir" routine gets me out of it... cept my first ever ticket. When I was 17... My first day driving alone... lol. I was pulled over for doing "125 in a 35" zone... now, granted, I was speeding (was probably doing about 60 or so by the bottom of the hill) but as I was nowhere NEAR the redline for the truck, I HIGHLY doubt I was doing 125mph... in fact, I dont' think my truck could DO 125mph without exploding or something. Got 4 points, a fine of $250, and a stern talking to by the officer. I decided to take it to court, but they kept pushing the date further and further back till I had to go off to college (yes, over a year of "delays") so I decided to pay it and fskc it... *shrugs* Can a stock '90 pathy DO 125 even?

Kittamaru Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hm, crazy. I dunno, I still maintain it was the jersey barrier beside me doing 125 (espcially as the distance over time equation on the ticket itself didn't add up to 125, but rather added up to 163, which makes me think the radar gun was busted) but meh. 17 yr old vs popo, who's gonna win?

skulptr Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 how about gettin pulled over for the tabs on A trailer being expired, getting a ticket because the lights are too dim, no insurance (of course ), and i just got back from the military and hadnt had my license reinstated (which you have 90 days from return to do), and my boss in the passenger seat. pulling a load for work. go figure. nice thing about washington is, if the cop doesnt show up to court, his report fills in for him. this cop seemingly forgot to, or something like that. well the prosecuting attorney interrupts the judge to tell him that the report for the case is missing. case dismissed. no fine, nothing. over 3k in fines, thrown out. there were many many pissed off people i had to pass on my way out , cause it only happened for me that was the only time i've been pulled over, in almost a year, since i traded my honda in for the pathy. i'm even running straight pipes, and obviously stand out like a sore thumb, and cops dont even give me a second look anymore. i love it. when i got back from the military, i drove the honda for a week, got pulled over 5 times in that week. dove out of it as fast as i could.

BIGPHIL Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 my OH SNAP! moment was when I was 17. I was test driving my buddies camaro RS and I was actually returning it to his house (he was with me) and a local PD,sheriff, and a THP officer pull out right behind me as I came to a stop sign. I then pulled away from the stop sign and turned right as soon as I turned they all three went code#3 (started the traffic stop) . I pulled over and turned the car off and ,as instructed by the THP officer dropped the keys out of the window. As they all approached the car I was wondering what was going on as I was not speeding and came to a complete stop and all. the officers asked me to step out of the car,I complied, and they infored me that the reason I was pulled over was the lack of a tag on the car, I informed the officers that I was test driving the car and the local PD and sheriff both kinda stepped back. At this time the trooper asked for insurance, my I.D and all the required papers I informed him that I left them in my other car. at that time one officer escorted me in the camaro down the road approx. 3/4 of a mile. When I produced the paper work I had I spoke with the sheriff and local guy and they said that I would prolly get let go, also the said that the THP guy was a dick (the local guy said that he hoped the THP's dog farted in his car ) I was then approached by the trooper with a $800 ticket with him saying tat I got lucky "cuz I didn,t get cuffed and stuffed" what a dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
