I wasn't pulled over yet. Either I'm a safe driver or the cops around here are too lazy to stop me. Probably the latter of the two.

I got pulled over for Disply of power in m old four cylinder Chevy S10.

It was ranning about two hours earlier
When the cop got to my window he started to ask if I did drugs or drank all because I had an airfreshiner in my rear view mirror.
Log story short my uncle the Lawyer contested it in court for me and the cop that pulled me over had to show up to court and he had a dozen or more complaints aganist him all ready so the judge repremanded the cop and threw my case out.

In southern Virginia, HOV lanes are HOV 2 (must have one other person besides the driver.) Up near DC in Northern Virginia it turns to HOV 3. I didnt know that, but once I got on I realized it, I took the next HOV exit and bam 6 state troopers pulling people over, all I could think was this sucks and didnt realize I downshifted hard and my HKS exhuast rumbled.

He gave me the HOV ticket ($182, no points) and a warning for the exhuast (said since I was military and a new resident to VA i might not have known).

Well the trooper behind the one who was dealing with me, got out a tape measure and walked up and measured the height of my body kit. The one that was dealing with me told the guy to let it go. They argued back and forth and he didnt say anything to me, just sent me on with my HOV ticket.

I took the exhuast off because I head up to PA alot and dont want to deal with it.

gf and i were down by the water in my town, ya know. "parked". cop pulls up, asks her if shes there willingly and then just sort of laughs it off with us and ends his visit by saying "i just wanted to check, cause last time there was a car parked here, i checked it and the guy had shot himself"

that destroys mojo ladies and gentlemen

Gotten a ticket for public urination. I was out in the country behind a barn. I was walking behind the barn and the cop thought I was running. So I got put in the back of the squad and I didn't even get to pee. Then the ahole takes forever to do his thing. After he let me out and left went right back there and did my thing. I was at a party at time and everyone inside. They were all like, wtf. I said I just paid $250 to relief myself.

I got pulled over my first time the other day cause the cop thought I was speeding lol. I drove past him cause he pulled out of a shopping center and he follows me, the speed limit is 45mph and im going about 42... Pulls me over and asks if I know what the speed limit was and I said yes it's 45... Then he asks how fast I was going? Ummm 42 and he's like hmmm... I'm thinking dude isnt it your job to know how fast I was going? So he walks to his car comes back like 10 min. later and tells me I need to goto the courthouse and order a new front license plate since my plate was *Cough* Stolen cough* So I'm like whatever and drive off! what a freakin waste of time and money...

Many years ago, I made an illegal left turn in a "no left turn from 4-6PM" left turn lane. A city citation.

It (or I) was stupid because I never paid the ticket. 4 years later I got pulled over because I had a taillight out. There was a warrant because of the citation, with a $40.00 bail. A combination of having no money, hair down past my shoulders in a redneck town = 24hrs in jail!

the cops in my town are useless. as long as you arnt selling cocaine to 6 year old kids right in front of them they dont do any thing. at any given time there are 4 squad cars infront of the local diner (my town only had 4 squad cars). was pulled over for 57 in a 50...i looked at the cop and said "Your serious..7mph" "That law is the law" well the judge didnt agree with him and my ticket was dropped...You dont even get fined until 8mph over so the fine wasnt even that high. just the extra stuff they tack on to tickets.

I had moved back to MN after living in FL for several years.
I had been back in town for maybe 4 days when, I see a cop do a quick u-turn and drop in behind me. He says he stopped me for no front plate and illegal tint. I told him I was "visiting family" and the car was legal in it's state of registration. Apparently he wasn't bright enough to think that maybe the laws were a bit different in FL.
He tested my tint...25%, perfectly legal in FL (MN is 50%)
Tells me I need to get a front plate on my car. I told him that might be a bit difficult since FL doesn't issue front plates.

I generally have the utmost respect for cops. I have a LE degree myself, but this one was beyond stupid and on a major power trip.

I have plenty one experience with getting pulled over. From age 16 to 21 I got 14 tickets for speeding....2 on the same day. My friend and I were also tagged for "failure to maintain control of a vehicle" We did a chinese firedrill with the car in gear. I was tagged as the first driver and my friend was tagged as the 2nd driver. Fun times!

My record has been spotless for the last 9 years

on my way home from the store, i decided to pass by a freinds house to see if he was home, he wasnt. so home i go. as i pulled up to a corner to make a right, the cops where making a left coming at me and they flipped on their spot lights right in front of me! i actually had to pull over and wait a min or 2, before i could see enough to drive home. by that time they where behind me telling me to shut my car off with their loudspeaker. they told me to get out, searched me, my car, and then accused me of scoping out the neighborhood for a b&e, told me i was looking for cars to break into, and told me they where going to take me to jail. i told them that i have a home, ive already got a system in my car(which they damn near tore out), and i was only passing by to see if my friend was home. oh! they also said i was trying to pick up a hooker. i said " in this neighborhood?" and laughed, "thats what my gf is for". after 2hrs in 43 degrees wearing a tank top, shorts, and slip on vans, they let me go with a ticket for my front bumper being past the line/wheels being on the line at the stop sign. can you say bs! and it all started at only 9pm. that fiasco isnt even the one where the cops came up the side of the car with their guns out!!!

basic stupid reason? cause i was there!!

I got pulled over for passing a bus (not a school bus) and it was considered careless driving, $106 ticket. Worst part - I got a letter yesterday saying that's 3 points on my license. So now my insurance is gonna go up. Screw pigs.
