Cops must be out to get me., pulled over 2 times in under 24 hours Options

[eggman40]

I personally know how you feel. Cops pull me over left and right and make up the most ridiculous excuses. They are just trying to stop you and see if there really is anything big of a deal for them to write you down for. If not, then they'll make up the most dumbest excuse and let you go. I'm use to it already. I don't know how it is anywhere else in the US but personally, I hate cops. I use to turn to them for help. They do their job so ridiculously that I don't even want their help anymore.

yup, my friend has a white 89 crx w/ red sport max wheels. They gave him a fix it ticket saying that they are a distraction to the public that guy had to be bored

[Akimbo]

the truth is it's because we drive imports, and imports are constantly given bad names.

also, it doesn't matter if a cop pulls you over, fighting is harder than you think, and most of the time it just draws more attention to yourself.

look above ur liscence plates...you'll see clear, plastic covers and 2 screws on each of the covers. take phillips head and unscrew em out. takes bit of patience especially if u got bigger hands cuz they're small screws in a small space.

It's almost the END OF THE MONTH and they must meet their Ticket QUOTA...I was harrassed yesterday by a cop too...imma go and fight it...said i was speeding and didn't even had me clock at anything at all...it was late at night and he was parked out on the curb standing on the passenger side talking to some kid he pulled on the side on a bike...i passed by and had gone at least more than 3/4 mile....he speed 80MPH accordingly to him to catch up to me...the posted speed was 50mph, i asked him how fast i was going and he just yelled at me that i was exceeding the posted limit...WTF?? my friend who was in the passenger side and I were stunned because I was only going about 50MPH, he then told me if i wanted to dispute it with him, he was willing and going to lock me up in jail and write me up for WRECKLESS DRIVING...it's all a set up when they don't meet their quota...i got ****ed up....i know cops, especially city cops or any cops for the situation cannot write you up if they can't tell you how fast you were going or clocked at...i could have arrested him under citizen arrest for speeding 80 MPH to catch up to me...he also went on talking about how he wasn't afraid to take me to court and fight me for it...he's got it all on camera...( I was like WTF????) how could he judge me at NIGHT TIME and say that i was speeding with his eyes and even if he did catch me on the camera assuming that i was speeding, the camera can't really depict if the car was only going 25MPH or 80PMH...im so MAD!!

what an *sshole. that's so bs.

I have Red LEDs for my licence plate light. No cops pulled me over yet. but it looks cool as ****.

[Griff]

i have noticed, the more exterior stuff i do to my car...the more i get pulled, and rarely is it speeding. We take chances with having an import, and the more we modify it, the more we get profiled, but i only have one ticket worth 2 points now...although ive been pulled many more. i get my kit put on monday...that should spice it up a little bit.

[Bitter]

since i dont act like a jackass (not saying all of you do), dress poor, my car looks ****ty, and sounds like its lost its muffler (well it has, but i bet they think it rusted off) i dont seem to get any attention. my car is just another crappy looking 4 door with a poor looking driver.

[confucious]

i.e. cops pull people over with broken tailights all the time and end up finding heroin. Meh...

Well I guess I'll go hide my heroin somewhere else now...DANGIT!

These "BS" stops lead to DUIS and people transporting heroin. Let the DEA/FBI do their job, and the street patrollers to do theirs.

Cops DO NOT have quotas. It is ILLEGAL to do so. Learn your facts.

i could have arrested him under citizen arrest for speeding 80 MPH to catch up to me

hahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahaha. hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahha. oh man, thank you. that is one of the funniest things i've EVER heard. where do you get these ideas? in our state, it is legal to exceed the speed limit without lights for many reasons, one of so being obtaining evidence of speed violations.

[Jen]

okay. officially it's not called a quota. it's just on a point system.

we'll just say SOME (not all) jurisdictions base your performance on how many citations are issued over the course of a month.

That can be faught! That arshole just pulled you over for their Ticket Quota like you said. You know why he said that he was gonna write you down for wreckless driving instead of speeding? One, either he didn't clock you and it only makes sense that he would speed to catchup to you when you are freakin 2 miles away. And second, becuz you weren't speeding and was trying to find something to write you for and "wreckless" driving has nothing to do with speeding. "AGRESSIVE" driving does! Me saying that would just make the cop feel salty. And if he decides to be an arshole about the whole situation, I'll ask for his badge number, and I'll fight it. And I will demand offensive EVIDENCE, in your case the "video", in the court room while it is session.

Oh yeah, a good friend of mine is a city cop here in Orlando. I've known him since middle school. Even he hates cops. He told me, "But hey, someone's gotta do the dirty work."

lol i remember watching the news saying that cops are filing complaints against themselves cause they feel "forced" to give tickets, it was on FOX and yea, i guess they get a raise when they give the most tickets.

[chacha]

it is sad, but i talked to some of my buddies who have familes/friends who are cops...they told me to also fight it in court, because they strongly believe he was probably ticked off by some earlier event and i was the lucky duck to be shot down...in california...you can do a citizen arrest on a cop if the situation is jusitifiable...just like the example of that cop speeding at 80 MPH to catch me and write me a ticket...friends of mine who are cops also told me it is legal to do a citizen arrest if the event calls for it...i think i should have, but either way...he'll lose for sure, accordingly 99% of people...

well according to me, it is 100% legal to speed in order to catch speeders. i suppose cops are just supposed to let everyone get away if they are going fast and won't be able to catch them huh? if you think logically what you are saying, you'll get it.

i triple dog dare you to attempt to put a cop under citizens arrest
one of two things will happen
1.) you will give the cop a laugh of a lifetime, he'll take you "seriously" call over another cop, tell him what happened, and his buddy will receieve the laugh of a lifetime as well.
2.) you will receive an ass kicking for putting your hands on a police officer

pretty sure to speed they have to put their lights on. i follow them when they speed without lights.

wrong. ever heard of a "silent emergency"?

ps cops can radar behind them if the squad is equipped right. its quite fun to do cuz people think like you...

[D_Dawg]

suck left. just voicing an opinion. maybe i am wrong and i didnt know silent applied to lights? maybe sirens? but lights? i think i get where ur comming from tho.

[confucious]

you were not voicing an opinion you were voicing an incorrect fact and i was merely correcting you. so, not maybe you are wrong, yes you are wrong. silent does apply to lights because a silent emergency is when no one needs to know you are coming. i.e. domestic abuse, crime in progress, etc.

im not quite sure what "suck left" is either?

[D_Dawg]

I sensed a condescending tone in ur first response so I was a little negative in my reply. My opinion was that I was pretty sure they needed to have lights on while speeding for any reason. I used “pretty sure” to avoid presenting it as a fact. Can I ask if u are a cop, u always seem to know alot about these situations in post like these.
