Just got Pulled over in the 'Balt

Well on my way home from my friends house, traveling cobalt next to cobalt with my friend, everything was going good, till i start to pull away gradually and then he just slows way down. Im wondering what is up, but realize he has a busted wheel so he wants to stay slow as possible till he gets it fixed anyway.. a car comes zooming up behind me, im laughing thinking its my friend until i realize those are crown vic headlights...

on comes the lights and i pull over, he gets out...oh no, state trooper...he gets my license and is in the police car for 10 minutes. he comes back and gives me my stuff and asks how long ive been involved with law enforcement exploring (training)? i chuckle and say 5 years, he asks if i though i was getting a ticket, i told him state is known for being ticket crazy, he laughs and starts asking me about my car...

long story short it turns out the only reason he pulled me over was to see what kind of car it was. We then talked about my SS/SC for a few minutes, then i went home

I had that happen once when I owned my 2003 Toyota Matrix XRS. I had done some mods to the car and it definitely did not look stock anymore. So I was travelling downtown at about 9am on my way to meet up with a friend for breakfast, I was not speeding or doing anything stupid, but a officer comes up behind me and pulls me over.

So he comes up to the car, and says "What's up........homie??". I say, "Pardon?". He says, "What's shakin' brother??". Now I am really confused. Then it dawns on me. My license plate at the time said "NRG4LFE", and I am pretty well betting that he mixed up the G and the R and thought it said "NGR4LFE". So I asked him did he actually read my plate. He says yes. I tell him to open his eyes and go check again. He is getting pissed with me, but walks back to the plate, and I watch him in the mirror as he "discovers" that it says "NRG4LFE". He comes back and starts apologizing and then starts to ask me questions about the car because he is thinking of buying one himself, trying to be all nice and stuff.

******* cop. LOL

i have been pulled over countless times in my 86 z24. with it debadged, cops have no clue what it is. i get pulled in at drinking driving road blocks and they take my papers, and i usualy get "oh so thats what type of car this is". ive gotten pulled over 4 times now with the cop saying "we have reports of a vehicle like this street racing", wich i know is toal bs cause its the only one like it around. the last time i was pissed off as asked the cop what type of car it was, he couldnt answer me. i know itys just what cops say when they have no reason to pull you over.

granted, they can pull me over anytime they want as my name is falsly on the local suspected street racers list. one night cops went walking through a local car hangout and wrote a bunch of plate numbers down, entered em into the data base with nothing to go on. a bunch of buddies ended up in there aswell. none of us street race, we were all parked, some of us even were talking about the street racing problems with an officer. go figure.

Happy ticket story...

Got stopped October 2nd for 51 in a 35... Now before you go apeshit, I was 50ft from the END 35mph sign climbing a monster hill. The trooper pops over the hill, ignores the black van going way faster than I and pops me. She was a stumpy man-hating trooper with the personality of a pound of ebola. Anyways, she hands me the ticket and on my merry way I go... I'm naturally pissed off and of course, I had my mother with me (i took her out to dinner for her birthday) so I am hearing the Oh Noes Your Insurance Overture!

Anyways, I get looking at the ticket later on that night... it doesn't have my name on it, doesn't have my address, my client ID number, my date of birth... Hell, the only thing she got right was the tag number, make and year of the car! So i go to court and poof! Dismissed!

What was funnier was that two days after I had gotten that ticket, I had gotten stopped on this remote stretch of Route 9 between by the interstate for 73 in a 55. DOH! (yes, martha, that was me being dumb). Anyways, the trooper stops me and we get talking for like 45 minutes about the car and how he was looking at one... long and the short of it, I manged to weasel out of another ticket.

Moral of the story... pay attention, slow down, or invest in a really kick ass radar detector.
