I just got yanked the other day by a sheriff. He was pacing an Evo going the other way and then i kinda flew past him. He told me my car sounds real nice and he had no idea these came turbo. I did get a ticket but he lowered the speed so i didnt have to pay as much. Real down to earth cop we chatted for a bit.

Tip for you guys when you get rolled. Take your keys out and put them on your sunroof if you got one. If the cop askes you why you did that just say you want to be curteous and you wanted to let him know that youre not gonna pull no shady ****. Cops like that. My cousin is a cop and told me to do that.

 

I dunno about reaching outside of the car. However, they do appreciate it if you roll down your windows, and keep your hands at the top of the steering wheel, and for god's sake, DO NOT reach for your wallet or registration before he walks up to you. Tell him when you're going to reach for something.

 

Oh absolutely. I never reash until he asks. And even when im reaching for my insurance card which is in the glove box i tell him what im doing

The whole keys on the roof thing might be a chicago thing i dunno lol

 

maybe its just me playing devils advocate... but it kinda sounds like he had no idea how fast you were going... but wanted to try to get you to admit something to give you a ticket with that story.. haha.

 

What you know about watching 2 people in eclipses do a roll race and passing them both and having a cop that was following the whole time pull you over and tell you "i like how you did that but there are drunk drivers all over and you should watch out. Now you have a nice and safe evening sir".

 

this made me lol.

but lucky indeed, cool cops always make getting a ticket less painful haha.

 

Three things everybody should know - if you get pulled over.

1. NEVER admit to anything they say, they record [audio/video] every second of the conversation they have with you and yes the recording are admissible in court. Always say "I was following the posted speed limit ##" or "My car is having mechanical problems now and I am traveling home or the repair shop to have it looked at"..

2. NEVER ask "Why did I get pulled over", "Why did you pull me over", that is telling the officer/trooper - that you have something to hide. Officers are trained - to tell you why they pulled you over, and you asking them why - gives them a card blanc to do other things like a car/warrant search etc..

3. NEVER keep your wallet in the glove box or in the dash/console, this gives them another reason why officers may want to search your car, they can say "I seen something in the glove-box or in the dash or console, please step out of the car"..

ALWAYS LOOK AT THE OFFICER/TROOPER EYES - this let them know your in control/ even if there flashlight is in your face. If you start darting your eyes and looking away, they may think your up to no good or drunk or high.

Many people stopped by an officer make the mistake of saying the wrong thing to him or her and failing to say the right things, and a case can be won or lost depending on what you say -- or don't say -- to the officer/trooper.

Don't speak first or ADMIT to anything. Especially don't start off with a defensive or hostile "What's the problem?" or similar words. Let them start talking. He or she will probably ask to see your license and vehicle registration. Many people make the mistake of insisting the officer tell them why they were stopped before they'll comply. Don't make that mistake. Reply "okay" or "sure," then hand over the documents.

One of the first things traffic cops learn in the police academy is to decide, before leaving their vehicle, whether they're going to give a ticket or just a warning. They may act as though they still haven't made up their minds and are going to let you off only if you'll cooperate. Don't fall for this. The hesitating officer may be trying to appear open-minded in order to extract admissions out of you, to use them against you in court if necessary. Because the conversation is being recorded and can be used in court. The strategy is to try to get you to admit either that you committed a violation or that you were so careless, inattentive, or negligent that you don't know whether you did or not.

The officer might start by asking you the sort of question whose lack of a definite answer would imply guilt, like, "Do you know why I stopped you?" Or, they might ask, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Your answers, if any, should be non-committal and brief, like a simple "No" to the first question or a very confident, "Yes, I do, I was driving at posted speed limit". If the officer then tells you how fast he or she thinks you were going - You can tell them "No, I was following the posted speed limit and watching my speedometer while I was driving" or what he or she thinks you did, don't argue. Give a noncommittal answer, like, "I see," or No answer at all. Silence is Golden and not an admission of guilt and cannot be used against you in court.

 

he said i was going 60 over, but maybe. who knows

 

I've had some close ones. Last year, I went TEARING ASS down this road... posted limit or 35 with an S-turn. IDK, I was probably up to 60. FLEW around this corner and got up to 60-70 before coming up to a car and I slowed. I got down a ways and then E-braked... u-turn slide, headed back the other way. I guess a cop had followed me from about 1/2 mile back near the S-turns. He pulls me over. He doesn't dick around all - Just says. "What's the problem? Why are you driving like that?" I just tell him I'm having a bad day with my girlfriend and heading back home. (Which were both true). He takes her back to his car to make sure it's not a hostage situation. Sends her back my way. He comes up, knowing from my direction of travel and my address that I AM heading back home. He says, "Well I'm going to let you off. I don't think a bunch of tickets are going to make your day any better so go home, cool off, and drive safely.".

I've had a few sticky situations like that.
I pull over. I ALWAYS turn off the car, window down. I'm ALWAYS polite and sometimes it DOES help to admit guilt, but it's how you do it. I mean if you're doing 30 over or something like that. Any ******* would know they were speeding and the police aren't idiots. I'll admit to speeding in that case but I'll knock it down 10 or so. I mean they know that I know I was speeding but they don't know how fast I THINK I was going. One time I was doing 75 in a 45 (it was a back road by the way, only one private drive). I admitted to "60-65ish". He said he clocked me at 73 or something like that. Gave me a 55 in a 45 ticket and let me go. Another time I was doing 80 in a 60 and got a License Plate Obstruction ticket instead.
The key is just being polite and knowing what's believable and what's not. If you're doing 80 in a 55 and say you don't know how fast you were going... well... probably a ticket is coming your way because anybody ought to know they were speeding. I mean 80 is a long way off from 55.

Anyway, that's always worked for me... for 18 years now.

 

i had a crazy close calls with the pd mostly troppers. first time was driving up to vt from mass to pick up a friend long ride with the balt so me and a friend decided to blaze all the way up then back home. So we had 10 or 12 can't remember rolled fat L's. So all was good until a **** box try's to race us my car look just look stock just tinted. So the dude thought he was tough, so i had to reprimand and fly by around 100 ish and the road kind of dip down a little and there was a troppers charger sitting right there i tried to slow down but wasn't slow enough. ill just say those thing haul ass i ended up at 85 and it was right on my ass then she pushed me over and the pulled over the other guy. the car smelt like a skunk was living in it. But first the tropper ask if i was racing and if i new the other person cuz we both had mass plates. Now this is in Nh(ended up being 10 mins from vt which it is decimalized. Bein a dumd ass thought i was still in mass lol and we have it decimalized so they would just take it and and give you a 100 ticket but Nh has jail time. I no not to say i was just racing cuz you can get into deep **** too, which I really wasn't though just bad timing. After that the cop look at me and was like so you a little tired lol. I said well ya, been driving since 7a.m. I could tell she smelt it. So she walks back to her car and we sat there for like 10 or 15 mins. The other driver drives off so i new pretty much we where fucked. She called in the k-9 unit and that tropper walks over to the car sniffs loadly and was like how you guys doing(trying to act all cool) so i said good, then he jumps to it and says how much you smoked. (thinking it was like mass and was chillin on Pluto) i replied just one L in the car before we left (which we just put it out about ten mns ago lol) So i step out of the car he pats me down and ask how much money i have on me like 10k he said i chuckled and said i think 12 bucks. They thought they caught some dealers with money and possible other narcotics cuz we were close to the boader. So he ask me where is it(knowing that he can search my car now and it wasn't hidden where i hide **** under the cup holdders) So i just told him and he was like how much 1 or 2 and was like 10 or 12 lol. So they toke me over to the cop car and talk to my friend to see if i was lying. Stores check out so they searched my car. After they were done searching they came over with the ipod box were we had it stashed. Thats when they said you no how much trouble you in you could get into up to 2 years. Said to myself i'm fucked i was 18 so i pretty much thought i was going to jail in a another state getting my car impounded and so on. So they were asking if i work my ambition and so on. Once they found out we weren't punks but just a couple of potheads. But the troppers were talking for a little bit. Then they said they didn't want to deal all of that paper work for everything and pretty much ruin our lives over a plant. so the tropper took me over to a storm drain and through each L one at a time down the drain. One got stuck on the ledge so she walk over and grabbed a stick and said you wont be coming back for that one lol. So they decided to give me a 250 dollar speeding ticket but before they sent use off they gave me a field sobriety test. She told me to keep my head still and use your eyes and follow the top of the pen as she move it side to side up and down and any other way she could not trick me and i wasn't ******* around i didn't blink either so after 2 or 3 mins she gave up and the look on her face was priceless wish i got a picture lol. The troppers said do you know how lucky you guys are? Even after all of that they still didn't believe that we where going to pick up a friend who went to school up there. But before we left they said i better pay that ticket and not fight it lol which i did seeing the circumstances. But for people that say marijuana impairs your ability to drive like alcohol can suck it if anything you drive better well at least i do. Most people how are really against it 1 never tried it 2 had a bad reaction or 3 get paid a **** load of money to make up ****. i think that was a pretty close call though. that is just the first time too.

second time is i just got pulled over for speeding with a full container of peanut butter bake with some mary jane but the officer didn't really care just said i was diabetic. it just look like chunky pb took the ticket and was one my way

then the third time got pulled over for suspicious activity at 12 at night cuz there was alot of vandalism going on in that town. couldn't sleep so want for a quick L ride. when the cop came up to the car he knew right away. Knowing what i know so and i only had 1/8th but got pulled over while i was smoking.
showed him where it was and then gave him my licience couldn't find the registration i was so toasted(sum bomb piffery)but luckly i know and my parents are close friends with the chief of police of that town. so he called it in he heard the name and told him just give him a ticket and since he new i was high i had to call my parents to pick me up. That was a good phone call lol. but before all that when he was searching my car my bowl and i had zertec in a bag and when he asked what it was i first said xanax lol. so as i was waiting for my parents to pick me up i got talking to the cop and ask where i work told him (deli/butcher shop at the time) and was selling him on some steak tips and steaks lol. They like three cops there and they like you sure your ok cuz i look wreck because i was and you guys no it helps with anxiety but can make it worse though too some times. and they all where just messing with the stoned kid lol. But since i was 18 parents didn't really care about the weed just that they got woken up at like 1245 am and had to pick me up lol.

But ya just some close calls that i had lol
