Anyone have any good stories to tell? May'be not related to speeding tickets but still about tickets in general :dunno: I ask because I got pulled over Friday on the way to school on a backcountry road. Luckily, the cops in our county don't have radar so that really saved me. I was doing 70 in a 40 and coming to a stop sign when he turned on the road and judged my speed. It also pays to be nice to cops because most of the time they'll let you off with a warning, like I got :clap: . And having no previous record might help too :thumbsup:

Not really the middle of nowhere though. Only a 15 min. drive from my house. The city my school is in has radar but the county cops don't. Basically every city in my county has radar but the county cops don't have radar. Luckily, I was in part of the county that isn't incorporated...yet...

I got pulled over for having window tint on my front roll downs. Illegal in NJ.

I went through an intersection, the cop was at the red light. He immediately pulled out and rode my ass as I set the cruise control on. Pulls me over, I put the windows down, turn the car off and put the interior light on (bonus points) as it was night time.

He asks for the license and registration so I tell him it is in my wallet. Always good to ask before you reach for something. He looks at it and goes I know you are current I ran you already. I said ok. He talks about the tint and how I shouldn't have it and tells me to have a good night.


Cliff, no radar. Man you are lucky!

Gotta love it when you shoot straight with cops. I can't stand it when people BS with me so I know they must get a lot of BS stories. Oh and Tom, I just get my wallet when he flashes the lights on. This way, it's not a "lull" moment. And it's kinda like a "okay I'm caught so I might as well get my shit together while I'm in the process of pulling over."

I lucked out once by getting my wallet out first. I got pulled over basically because I got lost in the wrong part of town and I'm a white kid with a nice watch wearing a nice shirt. I don't quite belong. I get pulled over and the cop obviously thinks I'm looking for drugs, so he tells me to get out of the car. Since I already had my wallet out I just left it in the car. He proceeded to search me, and I got an MIP (I was 17 and 7 months with cigarettes) and it wasn't until later that I realized. "I just cashed my check, if he had searched my wallet he would've seen 500 bucks on this white kid in the wrong part of town, there's no way he would've believed I wasn't looking for drugs". . . But yeah, my Mom works for the Police Dept. I know a lot of police officers and I always try and be as courteous and polite as I possibly can.

Cops around here don't care if you are polite to them or a prick to them.. They are 99% of the time a prick to you regardless. They are always right there to give you a traffic ticket but it took them 3 hours to show up when my car got stolen... I say EF' THEM!

I got a bunch of stories, but they're from the other side of the blue lights. This audience, uh, might not be too receptive.:squinteye

One cool thing that happened was that I stopped Gheorghe Muresan for speeding, two years after he left the NBA. His Caddi was specially made with the driver's seat rails set back so that he was actually sitting behind the B-pillar. I could not believe how huge his hands were when he signed the ticket. Like catcher's mitts!

Very mild-mannered, though. Seemed to be a nice guy.

An Officer stops a man near an intersection and says, "License and registration please."
"What for?" the man asks.
"You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
"I slowed down, and no one was coming."
"You still didn't come to a complete stop; license and registration, please."
"What's the difference?" he asks.
"The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."
"If you can show me the difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license
and registration."
"Exit your vehicle, sir." At this point, the officer takes out his billy club and starts beating
the man as fast as he could. Then, he says, "Do you want me to slow down or stop?"
