I've been pulled over a couple times for speeding. in the last year i've been pulled over 4 times but i've never even gotten a warning. having EMT plates pays off real quickly

I should get a set of those...

I've seen these cars from the government that have these special plates... I was told that they are like invincible to laws because they people driving those vehicles are on official government business that is VERY important. I guess so important that it could mean life or death of thousands of people I suppose.

I've seen them on the thruway once in a blue moon, but they are a rarity.

They are insigniated with the U.S. Government and a logo of the whitehouse, with black numbers.

Very weird...

Raptor05121 ur only 16?? that makes me feel better, for some reason i thought that i was like really young, but anyways

1. Was 16 at the time,(now im 18, 19 on 4-30) well i had just got off of work and was driving home, i say it was about 10:45, and i was going a way i didnt usually go home from work, i wanted to pass by a friends house, well anyways i was going to turn left at this little street and there is a truck just in the middle of the street, i had already started turing into the street but than realized i couldnt make it so i just went ahead to the stop sign, the stop sign and the street were pretty close, well i was sorta in the middle of the street and a cop just with my luck turns my way and has to go through the grass in order to make it through, well i knew i was getting pulled over from there, and sure enough he did, i had no license, just a permit, no insurance, nothing, so before he pulled up to my window i put on my sonic hat and titled it his way so he could believe me that i just got off work,well anyways in the end he just told me to go home and wrote me a warning...

2. 2007, no seat belt, i wasnt driving, with my friend - fine $175
3. 2007 - 4 times for tail light, 3 times because they were not working right supposably,so i changed to LED Bulbs, once because i accidentally left a white bulb where the break bulb was suppose to be, my mistake, warning all 4 times, i just told them that i had already been pulled over for tail lights, told them that the cop before them told me to change the bulbs, warning all 4 times

so many.

seat belt, speeding, noise, stunting- front wheel of my motorcyle in the air for about 200 yards. no front plate- will not put on on my lightning. unsafe operation of motor vehicle, undue care and attention-rolled a car for that one. did i say speeding-excessive. drunk checks- never drunk.
stopped by dept of fisheries looking for out of season salmon. forest rangers looking for illegal firearms.
more speeding. headlight out. swinging rear license plate, general checks and my favorite pulled over in South America by the local policia looking for drugs....

Last August I was going from Lubbock to Midland to help some friends of mine move to Lubbock. I was in Lynn Co., just north of O'Donnell with my cruise set on about 74. I had just passed an unmarked cop and i thought "i might want to bring it down a couple". but just as i put my finger over the coast button, a DPS hit its lights and started to turn around. my first thought was "are you serious?!" well i pull over and guess who walks up to my window... this 5ft FEMALE officer who asks for my liscense. she asks "sir do you know why i pulled you over?" i said no. she said she clocked me at 74. (note: in Texas, the cops pretty much everywhere will give you about 5 before they pull you over, especially on the highway) well she didnt give me a ticket for my speed (thankfully) BUT after she finished giving me my warning for my speed, she up and decided to check my tint. it was 5% too dark. $150 for freaking tint!!!(WTF!!!) i bought the truck just like it was from the dealer. how could they have sold it if it had "illegal" equipment? well, i took the ticket and told her to shove it....no, no, no.... i took it without question, but i did contact the county judge and he said he'd wave it if i just changed the tint. so i did, but i wasnt happy about the whole ordeal.

I've been warned for doing 95 in a 75 in the middle of nowhere. Pitch black and I saw him sitting in the middle gap between the roads as I flew past. He just flashed his lights and I slowed down. Didn't really get stopped.

I also got the same thing for getting a little sideways in the rain. It was an accident and I think he just let it go as that.



So I've never been technically pulled over yet though. It'll probably be for speeding one of these days...

Dumbass. No wonder you've got a suspended license. I'll bet you still drive and when you get pulled again you'll still blame the cops for your stupidity.


I've been pulled 4 times.

Once when I was 17 for speeding, only got a warning.

Once for rolling through a stop sign in a neighborhood. The cop was sitting around the corner waiting for people to roll though, I'm sure he got a bunch of people that day. $125 ticket.

Once for speeding through campus, then the 21 year old campus cop thought I was drunk, so he gave me a field sobriety test, then let me go.

And once for pulling out of a parking lot downtown at night without having my headlights on. Cop said it's usually a sign of a drunk. So he gave me a breathalyser and let me go.

I've been though a bunch of check points, never had any problems.

It's kinda funny, despite what dumbdumb said above, I've always found that being respectful to the cop works out in your favor. Those guys are people too, except if you **** them off, they actually have the power and authority to screw you.
