So I figured I would share and hear others lucky nights. Leaving 7/11 around midnight with a bud who was trying to say my Lightning isn't much better then his Ram. Decided to show him whats ***** are coming onto the road and catch a good drift for a good 1/8 mile or so. Of course as soon as I look up there are the lights. Cop gets out storms up screaming.....I tell him just got into it a little to hard. He doesn't let up on his insane tangent. Tells me about how he has a fast car and doesn't drive like that. Of course I go into Military mode with the yes sirs and no sirs. After about 10 mins he just say, Alright get out of here and walks away. Never caught a break in my life and this cop doesn't even ask for a license, registration or anything.

 

Umm I wanna say my best was when I was 16 about a month after i got my driver's license back before I bought my truck I was cruising in my sportly little 1986 honda crx. Yea I was an awesome kid i know ha. I was flying down the road cause I was late for school doing about 75 in a 45 come around a turn drifting it like I'm fast and the furious and there was cop sitting right on the other side. He walks up to the window ask's my age and if I have a job and say's "son if I give you a ticket they'll take your license for a while and you won't be able to work, if you can't work you'll just become another lazy man with nothing going for him in life, so I'll let you off with a warning. But slow it down when it's pouring rain and try to keep it less than 5 miles over."

Probably the scariest moment of my life when I saw those light's behind me but I was so happy when I got off without a ticket!

 

Fail and fail.

Fail was when you joined the chair force my friend

 

my best was in highschool and we were leaving for lunch and it just started raining and the roads were pretty slick. Left the school and went about a mile to hang a left and i was going to drift around the corner, so i gassed it and noticed a cop in the far right lane and i did a complete 360 and a 180 right in front of him. Lets just say he chewed me out for a good 20 mins and finally told me to get my butt back to school and he followed me all the way to school

 

Earlier this year, I got pulled over jsut minutes after leaving the DMV. I had jsut gotten my license changed to have my motorcycle endorsement.

While going down the street I came up to a red light. When it turned green I took off and got up to about 50. Looked in my mirror and saw a local black and white behind me. Took the first turn I saw and he followed. The followed me for a couple miles while I was making zig zag turns through the local backstreets. When I pulled back onto a main road he finally lit me up and pulled me over. He only had 2 questions, "What's with the speed", and "Are you lost?"

I told him the truth about the speeding, I wasn't even watching and really didn't intend to go 50. Told him I wasn't lost. He went back to his car and ran my license. Came back and said slow it down and let me go.

Luckily I was in my Camaro so he couldn't see me put my seatbelt on as he was pulling me over.

I was panicking because I can get any tickets. I just got my CDL last year and I'm in the process of trying to get a job. A ticket would kill any chance of me getting hired. When I saw him get back out of his car with nothing but my license in his hand I was surprised. I'm wondering if my "clean" record and CDL helped me maybe avoid a ticket there.

I've had several tickets before. Luckily all of them have been changed to non moving violations to avoid the points and messing up my record.

 

At least they're honest.

 

I'll share. It is on the long side but I have to start at the beginning.

I was coming off a 12 hour graveyard shift. The first graveyard as well. Got off at 11am got to my hotel room around 11:30 go to check in and they said room isn't quite ready yet and to give them an hour. I have been up for 27-28 hours straight at this time. So rather than falling asleep in the lobby I decided to go shopping. Finished shopping shortly after noon and on my way back to my room my girlfriend calls. It is illegal to talk or text while driving here. I'm stopped at the stop sign waiting to go through and the cop is right behind me. Instantly end call, drop phone and start scratching my ear to not look so obvious. Proceed through the intersection and instantly the cherries are on. Pull over, cop asks, "You know why I pulled you over?" "Yeah I was talking my cell phone. "You know its a $280 ticket and 4 points on your license?" "Thats what I have heard." He asks for my license and registration, so I give it to him. This is when the story gets good. He asks "So were you talking to your mother?" I reply, "no I was talkng to my girlfriend." Guess who phones right at that instant to chew me out because she was telling me her wonderful story about her morning at work and wondering why I just hung up on her. You got it, my girlfriend. he politely asks "Is that her now?" I look down at my phone "Yeeeeaaaahhhh........ You want to talk to her?" officer replies "No, no......... YEAH SURE!" My girlfriend knows that I am staying with a coworker of mine so keep this in mind. This is what I could over hear of the conversation and she does not remember the exact words either but it went something like this....

Officer "Hello"
GF "Who is this where is Chad (me)?"
Officer "This is Constable XXXX and Chad is sitting right here"
GF (Yelling and pissed off) "BULL**** let me talk to Chad right now!"
Officer "This is constable XXXX badge number YYYYY out of the ZZZZZ deparment"
GF "I know you are lying to me..... can I please speak to Chad now?"
Officer "I am not lying to you. Would you like me to give him a ticket to show you when he gets home?"
GF "NO I DON'T WANT YOU TO GIVE HIM A TICKET!"
Officer "Why not?"
GF "BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE CUTTIN IN ON MY KOOL-AID"
Officer (bursts out laughing) "Cuttin in on your Kool-aid eh?
GF "YES CUTTIN IN ON MY KOOL-AID"
Officer (still laughing) "Ok, I am going to let you go now, have a nice day"

He hangs up the phone looks and looks at me. and just says "WWWOOOOOOWWWW....... Would you like me to give you a void ticket to show you we were serious?" I reply "It doesn't matter." Remember I just come off a 12 hour graveyard shift and have been up for 27-28 hours at this time. I am covered in mud and dead tired. All I wanted to do was get cleaned up and go to bed. He goes back to his car, comes back, and says "Next time pull over or wait a few minutes to take her please." He gives me a ticket with VOID written across along with my license and registration back and I proceed on my way.

I definitely will never forget this one.

 

That one is pretty good. This is mine which I wrote down the night it happened.

The best story about being pulled over. It happened May 16, 2009 around 1:45 am. I was pulled over by an upper allen officer. I pulled into the Ameri-choice bank parking lot. He asks me how I’m doing tonight and I go fine, what did you pull me over for. He said because my tint was illegal. I start to explain to him that that is how the tint was when I got the car but he asked me for my license registration and insurance. He comes back about 10 minutes later and tells me that I don’t have a registration sticker. I go, well yeah PennDot should be mailing it to me. I have a temporary tag until then. He then points out that I have no emissions sticker then asks me to step out of the car. He then asks me if I am a member of the FBI because I am wearing a jacket that says CTU just like an FBI jacket would. I say no why? He says what does CTU stand for? I say Counter terrorism unit. He then tells me it is against federal law to impersonate a federal officer. I then begin to describe to him what CTU actually is when he asks, have you smoked any marijuana lately. I say um no. He says that my eyes are red and that he can smell it from my car. I go are you serious? Like really? He then asks to consent to search the vehicle. I tell him no. He said so you are hiding something then. I go no officer but I do not have anything illegal in the car and would rather not indulge you theories that I have weed in my car. At this point, I probably pissed him off and he hand cuffs me and says I’m not under arrest he is just detaining me until he can get a warrant. About 20 minutes later two more cops show up. They ask me what is going on tonight. I tell them this, first off my car was bought from Ellis Auto Group in Lyndora, PA, completely from GM with the tint factory applied. Second, I do not need an emissions sticker because Butler Country, the county in which the vehicle was registered, does not require the pointless emissions testing. Also, CTU stands for counter terrorism unit which is a completely fake agency from the TV show 24. I called the FBI about wearing a jacket like this and they said it is fine. As long as I don’t have any real acronyms like FBI or DEA or CIA then I am protected by the first amendment. I offer to let them call the field office in Philidelphia because the number was still on my phone but they didn’t really seem to care about that. Then I say that my eyes are red because I was scratching the life out of them because my allergies were awful. Then I tell them that the funny smell from my car is probably my cleats full of mildew because they are wet and because my car has week old clothes still in it. The three officers walk away briefly then tell the upper allen cop to let me go and said you should probably get home now. They mentioned absolutely nothing about the tint or anything else. They gave me my registration and stuff back and said have a safe night. They drove off before I did. UNBELIEVABLE.

 

Can't 1UP me...I joined the Army lol...yeahh.

 

My best let off wasn't really a let off at all. It was shortly after I got out of the Marines, I went to work in law enforcement. The county I worked for hired me on as a jailer. Late on a Friday night I was out with some friends driving a Chrysler Cirrus v6 and they were a tad curious as to what the car could do. So I cut down a road that was straight and floored it. As I approached the speed limiter of 105mph I saw the cruiser. I immediately said Oh ****!!! Knowing the road and the difficulty in being able to turn around on the road I kept going to see if he would chase. He didn't!!!! So I slowed to the speed limit of 55 mph and decided to just get the heck home. As I got close to the intersection of the road and a bigger highway there was another cruiser comming my direction. I held my own at 55 to see what he would do. He slowed way down and I drove right past him with no problems. The next morning I go into work. As I go into dispatch, two deputies are talking about a white car travelling over 100 mph. So I listen in. The first cruiser I passed was 10-15 transporting an inmate and could not take chase. The second cruiser didn't pull me over because I had slowed to 55 and because he hadn't seen me at the previous speed, could not be certain that I was the one going well over the speed limit. Whew talk about lucky!!!! I'll admit that I laughed on the inside but swore I would never take that chance again!

 

WOW.

My truck is of course registered to expire on my birthday. So my birthday is July 22. That night I go into work (graveyard shift) and know in the morning I need to get it updated. So its 1am, July 23rd and I am doing about 57-58 in a 45 (totally deserted). I go down and look over and see the telltale parking lights of a Crown Victora. Craaaaaaaaaaapppppppp. I see him turn on his headlights and pull out. I know its inevitable so I pull over before he even turns on the blues and do the standard pull into a enclosed lot, shut off the engine, dome light on, both hands on the wheel.

He walks up and says: "My name is Officer John Doe with the Live Oak Police department. The reason I pulled you over is because you were doing 58 in a 45. Before we proceed I want to let you know I'm not going to give you a ticket, only a warning just to show my boss I am out here working." I'm pretty speechless so I reach for my license. I ask if he wants insurance/registration but he declines. He goes back to his car and I turn my mobile from the fire channel to the police channel to listen to him call everything in.

I'm listening to the dispatcher come back with everything, as usual: "PD18, that 10-28 comes back to a Florida tag, XXX XXX, to Alexander Melia out of Live Oak, Florida. No history found, but decals expired on July 22....which was about an hour ago."

I'm about to crap out some bricks because just as she said that my jaw dropped like oh crap, I forgot about that. The officer comes back to the window and I immediately turn to him and was like: "So the plates expired, huh?" He goes, "Yeah but don't worry about it, I give it a week before it becomes a problem" And now I'm like: "Ok cool!"

He hands me a written warning and I toss in in my glovebox. Eight hours later I was at the DMV getting my new registration sticker

 

I've gotten my fair share of tickets, 10+ in 10 years lol, mostly speeding, some equipment and whatnot also, but my best story is un-frikin-believable

I was driving home to see my foks, about 4 hours. 30min from being home I decided to pass the 3 cars in front of me, I wanted to keep doing 65 and they were doing 55 (in a 55zone) on a 2-lane highway. I know the area and my truck can get up and go, so I nailed it to pass them before getting to a no-pass area. The car in front pulls over as soon as I go by, and as I go by him, I see the red and blues...

I pull over in a driveway down the road a bit and wait for him to catch up. The section of highway we were on is also a Safety Corridor, so all traffic fines are doubled. He explains that he was going 55 and I was defintly going faster ( I think around 70), passing multiple vehicles at one time, not completing a pass in a passing zone ( I was about 2 car lengths into a double yellow), and reckless endangerment. Also, my 60lb black dog was in the back seat and took offense to him being there, barking at him through my tinted rear windows...
Ran my licesnse and registration, saw all my previous violations and came back to have a chat.... Said I was looking at a minimum of $500 for everything, but he had ran out of paper for his ticket pad and was actually on the way back to the department for more tickets!

I got off with a warning, though I needed a new change of pants :jester:

 

Mmmm hmmm

I was pulled over for doing 125 mph in a 35 zone. (I think I might have hit an old lady with a walker and a boy-scout who was
helping her across the street. I'm not sure.) When the officer came to my window (gun drawn), I said, "There's nothing to see
here. This driver has broken no laws. He should be commended." He thanked me for being such an excellent driver and wished
me a nice day... Jedi mind control so rocks! ;-)
