Police pulled me over the other day..., Cause my car looks good! Options

[DG_Performance]

Anyway guys, listen to this crap.
I stopped in front of a store to drop off my fiance, i had to go around the block to turn around to pick her up after she got the goods from inside (bottle of coke). So this was a fast stop. On the way to the end of the block i see the police car sitting there watching ???? I am thinking he was just checking out my car "thats cool" so i get back to the store to pick up the fiance. I stop on the side of the street for like 5 seconds cause she was already waiting on the sidewalk. Here is where it gets interesting. Some jerk on the other side of the road sees my car and wants to show off... so he does a burn out! Then he makes a u-turn in the middle of the street to get behind me and rev his engine. (The car was a Grand am GTP) So i pull out and go up to the red light, the guy behind me is revving he car and being a pain trying to get me to race. Now remember i already knew there was a cop back one block behind where the store was so i was not about to blow this guy away. Anyway, the light turns green i go straight up the hill....the GTP turn right and does another burn out. Check this out, about 20 seconds up the road i see lights flashing behind me. I am like .. What did i do? So i pulled over to see what the prob is! Cop gets up to my window and says the usual ... and i say hold up what is this for anyway? He says well.... you were revving your engine and did 2 burnouts and broke trackion from the street. I flipped out!!!!!!!! I snapped!!!! This guy was so busy watching my car he said he never saw any other GTP do the things he said that i did. But he does recall another car do a u-turn in the middle of the street! What the heck? So i am yelling at the cop...(not recomended) and people are coming out of their houses to see what the deal is. The cop at this time can tell by how pissed off i am that he must have missed the other car and was pulling over the wrong car.....Cause it looks so fast and mean . So to cut to the end cause this is getting kinda long....he smells my tires and checks my car for hight issues and tint. he finds no problems! Thats right, you got nothing on me you stupid cop! I told him i saw him at the corner of the block so why would i be dumb and do something like that for? So he comes back and has the balls to tell me that he doubts he was wrong and i need to shut my mouth!!! He then says that he can tell by my attitude he will run in to me again so he will just let me go for now. Like he was doing me a favor????
What a crock of S%$t !!!!!
And he never appoliged for being mistaken!
What an A hole!!!

What do you guys think of that? I got harassed big time for no reason!!!!!

Call the station and talk to the guys super- even tho you didn't get a ticket say you want him to be aware of the idiot behavior of one of his officers.

[DG_Performance]

Yeah, good idea i should do that..... but i think he is the main police officer!!!

Doubtful, he wouldn't be out on rounds then

[Phat_99CeliGT]

do what shid said to do.
i got harrassed all the time by cops. took 2 to court for tickets for stupid stuff. i called the station a couple times to complain about the officers.
My dad even cornered one at a shop one day and bitched him out in front of everyone.

[Supersprynt]

Something similar happened to me once. I was pulling off an offramp and this Eclipse screams past me, ok great I pull out and within 2 seconds theres a state trooper and a local cop on my ass. So I pull over and he's like "Didnt you see my behind you!!?" and im assuming the Eclipse is the one he's after and maybe evading him so Im like no I just pulled onto this road, I think you looking for the green Eclipse. I didnt get an apology just when the other cop came to my window the statie was like "its not him' and they peeled out.

[Digndoug]

Man, I guess i got it easy. The worst i got was, being pulled for doing 50 in a 35 and my light was out, but i had a suspended registrations so i got a like $250 ticket for that. and i didnt know, but it was on my old junker..

but yeah cops are nice and lenent around here.

[macavely]

damn if i talked to a cop that way i would be posting a thread call " I just got a Rodnie King Beat Down by 0-5 " ....

[jgreening]

Best thing to do is give them the best "yes sir, no sir" routine and politely explain what happened. No matter how much they are in the wrong, its difficult to "win" in a situation like that. I have prosecuted many tickets where it was clear that the guy just got the ticket because of his attitude rather than "real" wrong doing. Here is the kicker - in everyone of those cases I can remember, the guy ended up pleading guilty and paying a fine because it was his word against the cops and who is a judge going to believe most of the time?

[operative]

some cops are jerks. especially the ones that got picked on when they were in school. they think its time for them to get paybak on everybody.
judges are so different between jurisdictions, some areas are more understanding while others want to fook u over.

[Seth6Gen]

its amazing what filing a formal complaint will do. Back in my skatboarding days, a cop was way out of line, and my rents filed a complaint, and he ended up getting suspended. Go for it man!

[vangSTa_celica]

Is anyone here on 6gc.net a cop?

[DG_Performance]

here is the bad thing with doing a compliant...
he will just be out watching for anything i do after that and have other cops watching me also!
all them cops stick together....
my car is an easy target and i dont need any more trouble
that is what i would get in the end

Man,
I know how that goes. One time I got harassed for a good five minutes while taking pictures in a public parking lot because he got a report of street racing in the area and saw me. I was so mad...I even had proof that I'd been there for 15 minutes but he wouldn't even acknowledge that and continued to accuse me.

[creis]

Rodnie King Beat Down

LOL, Sad, But SO true.

I'ed be posting from jail if I yelled at a cop. you got balls to do that, however in your position I bet after a wile I'ed lose it too.

File a complate with his boss, let your voice be known that you feel the police are harrasing you because of a sterio type, and that there to buisy eating donuts, and checking your car to see what is really going on in the town.

No. Don't give us that bull****. File a complaint. If he harrasses you again, file ANOTHER complaint. And then, file a harrasment suit. In this day and age, cops can't get away with the kind of revenge behavior you're describing.

Unless you live in Yakima

[WannabeGT4]

Just ignore everything they are saying and tell them to go fvck themselves. I hate cops and treat them with absolutely no respect. Honestly the times that I've been nice to cops they've ticketed me every time. The times I've been a complete ass hole I've gotten off with a "warning". I like to tell them good luck prooving it in court I hope you can make it. Also make sure that right when they pull you over that you imediately get out of your car so they don't have time to right up the ticket before you get to bitch them out. Now if you know that you're caught and it was something wrong I don't think this advice is going to work for you. It's worked for me when they were going to give me a ticket for wreckless driving for taking an on ramp too fast... not my fault no one else knows how to drive and goes 30MPH until they get to the actual highway. Aren't on ramps made for acceleration anyway? Now that I think about it I was probably just lucky, but we'll see next time.

[erics1one]

Have been pulled over 6 times and never got a ticket. Mostly because of exterior lights, lane changing, or something minor.

Cops in my hood stop people for any reason at all, just to take a peak at whats inside. Its quite annoying.

Good to hear the cop let you go DG, what a prick.

[Dtown_GT]

DG i feel for you. I live in a house thats basically on the campus of Northern Illinois University, so i have stupid Campus Police all around. Iv only been pulled over 3 times in my life and every time it has been by a campus officer. I took one to court and won one time, and then like a week later the same cop pulled me and my friend over at the same time and told us both that he never wanted to see our cars on campus again. SO i called and complaind... Got to keep the cops in check!

Cops are Gay, the older ones are the lamest.

All the young cops are cool with my car the old farts get their panties in a bunch whenever they see me.

[Ricky]

he did not pulled you over because you car looks good.
he pulled you over for other reasons
1. he was under the impression that you were the one burning the tire
2. he wanted to check out your car
3. he is a Celica lover
4. he was looking for a date with you

that is so wrong... just the thought of it is wrong.. But i think it is true.. LOL

[Consynx]

id blame it all on the fiance
j/k

should of had her use a camera phone to take pics of it though...then just let him yell all he wants and go to court, or show him the pics...

[XxDJFate76xX]

yea ive been harrassed before by the same cop, i went to a playground out in the open in the middle of a bunch of houses (not a residential area) and the cop said it was a public park and that its trespassing.. WTF?!?! theres no signs, no gates, and its a playground not a park.. me and my friend meet up there to go out n ****.. but then like a week later the same **** happens... i dont get a ticket though cuz they think cuz im young im stupid.. my friend gives them attitude though he almost got one.. he said give me a ticket i dont give a **** i wont pay it like the rest of them

[Consynx]

^^
that's a real stupid thing to say
if he really had unpaid tickets for over 30 days they could have arrested him

[Blakout16]

Also make sure that right when they pull you over that you imediately get out of your car so they don't have time to right up the ticket before you get to bitch them out.
[right][snapback]229451[/snapback][/right]

i wouldnt do that, it'll get you shot. its something like unfriendly advancing of a police officer... best thing to do is roll down the window and wait... then go from there. i think somewhere in the law it states you have to stay in the car unless other wise told to do so. i went thru a 4 month drivers ed class, and learned that along the way.

[blackbullet]

what you should do is write down his badge number... that will make him go away really quick.. if he was just to harassed you... it happened to my brother... my brother wrote down his badge number and he just let my brother go and act like nothing happened... so try that next time it they're just hating on you...you can report them to the station or their office... "file a complaint"...

[CheesyLobster]

Generally cops are uneducated people with small penises on a power trip. But because they do have that power, usually its best to just comply as best as possible.

It won't get you shot as long as you stop when they tell you to. I didn't say rush the police cruiser. Just simply get out of the car and start walking towards them until they have to get out. You won't get shot as long as you don't do something stupid like point at him or leave your hands in your pockets.

How do you know they have small penises?? how many of them have you dated before you got to that conclusion??

[poix]

ok i got one,

well it was around 2 in the morning when i was driving back home from friends house. the road sometimes have police check ups to see if anyone's drunk. i drove near and was thinking these stupid cops are prob gonna try to give some tickets.

one cop stopped me, where they give people brochures on drunk driving, and then he was like "woa u have blue lights, pull over to the side." then the second cop came and asked me for my driver license and isuance.
im thinking my hyper white lights are perfectly legal, theyll just let me go when i argue.

i got out of my car to see why the hell the first cop says my lights are blue, and a-hole cops started yelling at me tell me to get inside my car. a few minutes later the second cop came giving me a ticket. i looked at the ticket and it says im driving with my headlights out. i got really mad and said my healights are working perfectly. the second cop thought to himself for a moment and asked me to turn my highbeams on. he then walked to the first cop, who told me to pulled over, and talked for a bit.

He came back realizing that he made a stupid ass mistake thiking my two middle highbeams were low beams and told me to go home. i asked him whats gonna happen to the ticket, he said he will void it.

so i drove home laughing my ass off thinking, these dumass cops should really know about cars before they pull anyone over. it is really sad to see how these dumb cops abuse their authority to earn a living.

[Coomer]

Yeah, you don't want to get out of your car. I was in a parking lot(had been sitting there for a good five minutes with the engine off) just prepping my camera stuff to take pictures and talking on my cell phone, and a cop pulled in behind me and stopped and turned off his headlights. I got out of the car just to tell him what I was doing and he yelled at me to freeze. So I just stood there with my arms out and he ran over and patted me down because he didn't believe me when I said that I had no weapons on me.

So then we talked for a minute and I told him I was just taking pictures and he was cool with that. He even went on to talk about his daughter having a Celica so we talked cars for a few minutes and then he left. But he sure freaked out when I got out of the car.

[shid]

I was shooting pictures and video of airplanes landing at LAX (I was right outside the fence) when two police cars pull up besides me, blind me with their lights.

I turn and I look at them. They sit there.

a minute passes

NO ONE HAS SAID ANYTHING TO ME

They drive off.

[creis]

Rent-a-cop

anyway:

yeah cops are in fear for there lives at all times I bet, its not a safe job.

[Nemises]

I get harrased all the time but heres my favorite.

I was driving on the highway from work to my girls house. (she was in the car with me) I am driving normal i would say about 70 mph not to busy on the road about 12:30am or so. I aint gonna lie we was blazin a L. So anyway here comes 3 cars actually 2 cars and a truck flyin down the highway goin at least a 100. So i tell me girl put it out I just had a feelin. So she put it out opened the window. So the three cars fly by me just as we pass a cop on the side of the road. And im still driven normal speed . Then the cop pulls out, now im the last car,not speedin the other guys are pretty far ahead at this point. Now guess who the pull over me cause i got the hooked up car. Antway Im pissin my pants cause im like damn im getting locked tonight. Cop askes for theusual liscence reg where u going where u coming from I answer all his question. Keep in mind I am high. cop says wait while he runs my stuff. He starts to walk away from the car just then another car came flying buy us. He litteraly ran back to my car threw the lisc and reg back in the window from a distance and said forget it im going after that guy. and then proceded to peel off and left me on the side of the road. Talk about luck huh. I know that only happens once.

[Consynx]

^ that's awesome

[Coomer]

Not smart. DUIs are not cool.

[Nemises]

tell me about it. And let me make it clear also i am not encouraging it . This happened almost 2 years ago. I dont even smoke anymore.
