Finally someone who gets it. We also could be running your plate to make sure we don't need to have you eat pavement.

I have never written a ticket for not using a blinker. It's good probable cause to get a look into your vehicle though.

I understand that they would like a safe enviorment to stop someone. Why not the parking lots the first two blocks. And if he were running my plates the whole time i doubt it would have taken him the extra two minutes in the parking lot sitting in his car talking on the radio. Unless it takes longer then i think it does to run plates.

As far as looking into my vehicle goes...I never knew a turd brown piece of crap taurus was a suspicious vehicle. I will however keep that in mind from now on.

but what i hate is, i'll be behind a cop and 99% of the time they never use a turn signal, and to me that's dangerous and putting my life in danger, not to mention countless other violations i would see. ( i lived a block from the cop shop and seen like 10 cops everyday on my way to work) i always wanted to have a friend in the passenger seat video tape them doing these violations and send them into their commanding officer,but i wouldn't want to be the target after i did it, so i let that idea go, can we issue a citizens ticket< like a citezens arrest? hahah that'd be cool..
one day i was driving to work and a porsche pulled out in front of me and a cop and was punching it and jumped across 3 lanes to get into a turn lane and made the turn with no blinker, and the cop looked at him and was going to keep going, i pulled up next to the cop and said "that's bull****, you just seen that and you let it go? you just pulled me over the other day for tint,and it was LEGAL tint and let me go? but you let that ******* drive wreckless and just ignore it???" and the cop looked at me and didn't say anything, and flipped a uturn at the next light and went after the porsche...
he would rather pull over a 24 yr old in a honda accord with factory tint, the lightest possible tint, than a rich dude in a porsche that has no concern for others safty...i hope that cop realized something that day and won't target certin people...

Run-On Sentences

A run-on sentence consists of two or more main clauses that are run together without proper punctuation. Sometimes even sentences which are technically correct are easier to read if they are made into shorter sentences.

We often speak in run-on sentences, but we make pauses and change our tone so people can understand us. But when we write, no one can hear us, so sometimes we must break our sentences into shorter units so that they do not sound run-on.

No more than 2 or 3 miles kills a good buzz.

The length of your posts have nothing to do with it. Your writing has everything to do with it. Run-on sentences, capitalization, etc. You said you are in school and that you’re 24 years old. So that means, either you are in college or haven't graduated high school yet. Either way, use the skills you were taught in English class. Write so people understand the message you are attempting convey. If a person has to struggle to understand what you are writing, then YOU become the joke and people will not take you seriously. Minor errors are fine. After all, this is a place to relax, but dude the extremely lax manner in which you write, makes it very difficult to read your message and take you seriously. In all truthfulness, your writing style, or lack thereof, makes you sound like an idiot, who is complaining just to complain.

Sometimes we get requests from businesses not to make stops in their parking lots. The officer could have also been talking to dispatch about unrelated calls..ie: previous radio calls or a pending radio call. He/she could have also been monitoring the radio traffic of one of their beat partners to make sure they don't need assistance. Or, they could have just been screwing with you.

Refer to the previous comments about unrelated radio calls. The returns on the plate information is not always instantaneous. Radio traffic could be also be heavy and the officer could be waiting in queue. They also could have been running your driver's license or checking your name for warrants.

In Los Angeles, that would fit the description of suspicious vehicle.


I guess, in the end, there are many things that happen during a traffic stop that you have no idea about. Most officers will try and get the stop over and done with as soon as possible. I will concede that there are officers out there that like to abuse the power that they do have. I don't follow that path.

How do you control that?
When you hit the lights doesn't the perp lead the parade?

When the lights come on I always put on my blinker indicating I recognize and will comply but, I will turn into a parking lot if available for my and especially the officers safety.

(Hopefully it's a church parking lot and I reach for my 'no ticket bible' under the seat.)

p.s.
nevermind, you control when you turn on the light, i had a brain fart.

Even after we initiate the stop, many people want to do things their own way. That's what the public address system is for. Then, we become the "simple goat herder".

I approached a light around midnight doing the speedlimit. It was a stale Green so I checked both ways to see if any traffic would trip it. No traffic and sure enough the light changed anyway. I neither accelerated or decelerated and I was in the middle of the intersection on Red.
I didn't feel bed about it because a car in another lane a couple of lengths back went thru it too.

Then I did feel bad about it because it was a County Mountie and he hit the Lights.

When I'm speeding I'm aware of what is around me but, this time I was just pokin along without a care.

I turned into a parking lot so the officer wouldn't be in the road. He asked for my license and registration and asked if I knew why he stopped me.
I said, "Yes sir, I went thru a Red light."

Then another cop pulls up, so I got double Blue lights going.
Some people go by slowing to look and I can lip read the woman saying,
"well, they got that mad dog, deranged lunatic."

After about ten minutes the officer comes back to my car gives me back my stuff
and says, "Don't run any more lights Mr. _ _ _ _ _ _. "

In 35 years of driving I've probably run a Red light five times,
and I've been caught twice. That's 40%

These guys around here are pretty good.

Sorry, my fault. I thought that you were referring to the length.
I can clean things up.

I'm kind of used to writting like that to my friends. Sorry again

Nick, my post(56) is longer than yours. A little trick is a blank line between trains of thought.

It breaks it up for the reader and makes it easier for them to chew.
