A lot of police officers get really tired of dealing with smart-mouthed punk kids who want to act all tuff to impress their friends in the car. Often times, if you are nice and respectful, you may get off on a warning. It's usually up to the officer's discretion to write you up, or give you a warning. I've been pulled over 5 times in my life. I've gotten one ticket (several years ago).
Because my first ticket came from them haha!

It's ok matt_a, my first ticket crushed yours
he wrote me down "going over 100 in a 65"
he busted me undercover in a pack, and used "vascar aka timing"

Nice to see someone address "grammer". Even if you don't know how to spell "grammer," punctuation makes life so much easier. I usually skim through and barely pay attention to the 150-word sentences. It is an absolute pain in the ___. If you want people to take you seriously and beleive that you know what you're talking about, write correctly. I rarely open post that are all lowercase and misspelled.

I got pulled over going 16 over, the irony is my last car was a Firebird which I never got pulled over in! Anyways the cop came up to my window I asked for a break, he said what are you kidding me you were going 16 over, by the way WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DRIVING HERE?! It looks like something out of an Arnold Schwartzenager movie! I started to laugh, figure joke around. Then he says " with that shape how the hell did you get it to move so fast ?" HA HA HA...next thing you know he's checking out the car inside, I had my 3yr old son in the back seat. The cop hands me his clip board and tells me he was giving me a warning because he hadn't laugfhed so hard at a car in years!
So, some cops aren't too bad. You just happened to get one of those kids that were bullied in high school that became a cop to feel tough...

wow
That sucks, I got pulled over for driving 120mph in the rain here in SF on 280 about 2 year ago. The guy pulled me over and i was so scared I parked in the median of the freeway and turned off my engine. He shined the light on me and said sir, you need to come on this side. He came to my car and asked me why i parked there and what i was doing. I said, this is the first time i got pulled over and i know that i was driving fast. He said you passed right by me and didn't slow down. He looked at me for a bit and looked at my license, seeing that I was new to california and let me go. I still don't know why he let me go but I'm guessing that was the reason. The other time was for speeding and a stop sign, but the judge let me take the stop sign off and I only had to pay for the speeding ticket. Oh yeah baby, hella lucky right here. Since then I haven't done anything and made sure im driving cool, except for tonight when i was racing, but after reading this post, I'm thinking I shoudl behave?

I had a cop follow me to my house last week.... I pulled in my drive and he went by until I opened my door and got out... then he stops and backs up... I'm thinking wtf is his problem and nonchalantly go in my house.... he looked at my tag and drove off.... I figured if he wanted me bad enough he could come knock on my door.... my tag only says "MY XB"... nothing wrong with it... who knows.... there are no easy answers when it comes to cops
