I don't know about cops being sneaky, but I'm sure some type of subconscious profiling occurs in the mind of a cop while on patrol. Let's say you have a duty to enforce traffic laws. Who will you watch more closely, a 19 year-old driving a riced-up metallic orange Civic with a 5-inch diameter exhaust pipe, or a 50 year-old woman driving a late-model Buick LeSabre?
If you wave a red cape, don't be surprised if the bull gives you a sore a$$.

That's like saying if I want to make drugs arrests, am I going to the rich beach community or da' hood?????
I don't go out actively looking for a ticket, I wait for them to come to me. Normally, it is something stupid like this that draws my attention to the driver to begin with.

Green 98, to answer your previous question, no I am not a law enforcement officer.
If I can give you a little "old fart" advice, I will do so. In your many prevoius posts you have complained/bragged about all of your stops by the law. You have spoken about your beer drinking, reckless driving ( burning/peeling out) with eight people in your f150, (Not too many 98 f150's seat 8 - unless I am mistaken). All of this and yet I think you stated your are 19 or 20?
You are lucky but be careful- your luck ( and I hope not your passengers) may run out. I also wouldn't "tell the world" about all of your exploits, as there is quite a few people in all sorts of professions who read this site who never even register or log on.
It would not take too much expertise for someone to figure out who exactly you are, and decide to help your "luck run out" sooner than expected, before you hurt someone other than your self.
Don't get me wrong, this is in no way any threat or anything else -- all I am saying is don't tell of your "exploits" especially if they consist of illeagal behavior.
Be careful out there -- and remember a DWI is on your driving record for LIFE ! If you think your insurance rates are high as a teenage/underage driver -- you should see what happens to them if you have a DWI on your record
I'll get off of the soapbox now and stop preaching.

Very well said Mark. I don't see how he can complain about being pulled over if he comes on here and admits that he did it!!! Nothing personal against him, but if honestly know you are guilty, step up like a man (or woman) and take your lumps. Whether it be a citation ot just a warning. We all were young once and did, well, stupid things, police officers included. Just be aware of the danger and consequences.

Well, I think some of it is just bragging and not real, like this stuff:
Now I read alot of unbelievable stuff on this site, like Lightnings doing less than 14 seconds in the quarter mile but, I just got to call BS on this claim. I know for a fact no 6,000 passengers would fit anywhere's on a pickup. I tried for the record myself. I had 27 passengers in and hanging onto my truck and I got up to around 35 mph before 3 of them fell off. So, the world record would have to be 20 something, maybe 65 or 80 if you could find some really skinny ones but, 6,000?
DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!

p.s.
I'm pretty sure it was only three that fell off but, that number is based solely on scientific evidence as most all of us was drunk at the time. All I really know for sure is all of a sudden my visibility vastly improved and immediately thereafter I felt three bumps.
Now, some could have fell off the back also but, I don't think so.
It has been my experience that thems that fall off the back have time to scream and I didn't hear nothin, except for the peoples that were actually in the cab. I should have taken a head count before and after so I would have a more accurate number.
Regardlless, I say that ain't bad for a regular cab, shortbed!

haha sprocket--ya know i do actually know how much it costs. I pay the dam insurance which hurts. My dad went to college to get a good job so that he could have nice things to provide for this family. I AM NOT some spoiled brat who takes things for granted. And I do not treat my truck lik well if i break it daddy will buy another one. I cant stand those kind of people. I work hard for my money--10 hr days for a construction crew will, roofing, and workin for the street department will teach you the value of things like this. And i dont intend on doin anything different next summer. Im in college now so that i can get a good job and provide nicely for my family one day. If you have a problem with that, then thats your problem. Dont preach to me about "know the actual value of owning such an exspenzive vehicle" . Go tell some spoiled kid that drives a lexus and has tommy cloths on, not a guy with a pickup and wranglers on.
