Wasn't there an issue of playboy with chainmail involved?H8R said:
Yup!
Officer (while looking at my license):
"So, Mr. Repack, why were you going so fast?"
Me (both hands still on the wheel, avoiding eye contact): "Um, errr, uhh (stammering while thinking of something to say that wouldn't sound stupid)... because I can."
All I could think was "Did I really just say that?!?!?
Officer (laughing his ass off): Well, Mr. Repack, I appreciate you honnesty and you candor, but I am going to ask you to slow down."
I am NEVER going to try that again.

Most cops are so appreciative of the honesty that they will have a heart and cut you slack. Unless you jsut caused a pileup that killed 15 children and their great aunts on a charter bus.Repack said:
I got nailed doing 95 mph.
Trooper: Do you know how fast you were going.
Me: Not really, my speedo only goes to 85.
He let me go with a warning, go figure.

I got the same thing once. Turns out that being cordial and whitty can be beneficial.Westy said:
City cop: you know the speed limit through here???
Me: not really, but I'll wager I was going faster than posted.
CC: you were doing 83 mph with smoke on the tires.
Me: hrmmm - I didn't think it would do much more than the stated 85 mph. I should slow down.
CC: at least until you are out of Waco.
Most guys would tag you something fierce.Me: Most guys are the coolest cop in Waco though.
CC: have a great night.
Me: Hope to see you around, but not on the road.
So you got a potential date with a cop instead of a ticket. Gross.loco said:CC: at least until you are out of Waco.

He was pretty hot.H8R said:
hahahaha... you have to be home at 10........
Cop: License please.
Me: Ok.
Other Cop (addressing girl): Are you here on your own free will?
Cop: Have you ever been in trouble before?
Me: No sir.
Cop: What were you two doing?
Me (with pants only partially on and condom wrappers lying on the floor): Uh.....talking.
Cop: Sure you were, put your clothes back on and get out of here.
Yep. It is true. Nothing came of it though.

Girls need to wear skirts for car sex. Guys....wear shorts with no boxers. Real easy to pull up.Polandspring88 said:
That might work, except it would not be as easy to hide that fact that it looked like I had the Washington Monument in my pants.robdamanii said:

so i got pulled over for doing 67 in a 45 today. im soo over with this disobeying the law stuff. damn me being in a hurry to go pick up my buddy at school so we could ride. oh i got let off with a warning with this one too. im so terrified of cops now.
btw i think ive learned my lesson. im not pushing my luck any farther for a while
wow...you got lucky. a warning for 22 over is pretty rare. i usually arrest at 25 over.
I don't think I have ever heard of anyone getting arrested for speeding. Would that be something unique for your area? I have heard of people here in L.A. getting tickets for driving over 90mph on the freeways which have a max of 65mph.manimal said:
I don't speed anymore. It's not worth it. In addition to the ticket and hassles that come with it, it's not worth risking your life over. Risk your life doing something fun like riding, don't risk your life over being late.
I also used to hate cops. I guess it's one of those things that's inherent to being a teenager. As I got older I realized that they are like anyone and anything else... there are always going to be good cops and bad cops. Some will become police officers so they can hassle people, some do it because they really want to help people and make a difference, some do it because it's a job. Likewise there are good doctors and bad doctors... good and bad computer techs, lawyers, teachers, etc.
Ciaran said:
i guess i better clarify. i don't hassle with 25 over on the freeway, any bad wreck over 65mph is going to be really bad regardless of whether it's 65 or 105. the 25 over arrest rule is my personal rule and it applies to lower speed limit areas where 25 over is pretty negligent. ie; school zones, busy residential 35mph zones. 60 in a 35 with lots of home/apartment driveways is pretty rediculous since you won't be able to stop in time if someone pulls out. it's not like a black and white rule either, it depends on a lot of things but 25 over is where i allow myself the option to arrest if i think it'll drive the point home. lots of punk kids will have mommy/daddy pay off a ticket or get a lawyer and have it reduced, but when you slap the handcuffs on someone, things change and they start to think..."hmmm, i guess he's serious about this careless and wreckless speeding thing".
every officer is different and has a different tolerance.
Ahhhhh... I see. Good rule, I think. I grew up on a very small street that people used to fly down.... 50 - 60mph on our quiet little street. I wish those fools would have been arrested. I was almost hit many times and the people across the street lost there son to a speeder. (Many moons before I moved there.) There's no reason to go speeding down a residential street.manimal said:
Though I did get a speeding ticket last month. 14 over in a 30 mph zone. Driving along and I didn't even notice how fast I was going. I come to an intersection and see a cop on a motorcycle. He looked at me and kinda smiled. I looked down and realized that I was speeding. D'oh!!! I pulled over before his lights were even on, I knew he had me dead to rights. When he pulled me over I just handed him my stuff and said, "I'll be getting a ticket today, won't I?" He laughed and said to slow down and gave me the ticket. First speeding ticket (heck,first ticket other than a parking ticket) in over 10 years.
This is true, and sometimes unfortunate.manimal said:
I got a ticket once for driving TOO SLOW.
Picture this:
Far northern California, up in the redwoods are near Crescent City.
I'm driving down hwy 101 in pouring rain. Cliffside. Twisty. In an older pickup truck.
I get pulled over for doing 45 mph in a 55 zone, because the cop could not go around me, (he was trying to hurry home to watch sitcoms I guess) because there was too much oncoming traffic. He had one car behind him, quite a ways back.
I get a $150 ticket for going too slow. He said I was not pulling over and allowing others to pass. On a rain slicked two lane highway road. On a cliff. In the dark. Doing 45. DICK!
I'm 300 miles from home, no WAY am I going to be able to get another vacation to drive north to fight it.
Some cops are total pricks, plain and simple.
My only ticket was doing a crosscountry caravan last year. Was going down a deserted divided highway in eastern colorado and we passed this cop coming from the other direction doing like 105. He threw a nasty cross-median high speed u turn and pulled over me and a friend at once. top notch copping. it was almost worth the 125 bucks to watch this guy powerslide across the grass into the oncoming lanes. if ever there were a respectable reason to become a cop, it would definately be the legal high speed driving.
Just noticed this thread, and then noticed that post. All i can say is alcohal...H8R said:
well it was actually a 4 lane road and i was in the far left one. i was going the same speed as everyone else but i was just the unlucky one. it was another being overly respectful thing, i knew i was in the wrong and i thanked him for doing a good job. as much as it sucks to be hassled. i still dont hold anything against cops. i dont hate them. there just doing there jobs. if you have a reason to hate cops then you should seriously rethink how your living because your doing something wrongmanimal said:
I grew up in San Diego and I remember the police being pretty cool in general. Yeah they pull over a lot of people, but let most off with warnings, which I think in the long run is a good police tactic. That way people know you're there and watching but you don't have total outrage against the police. And yes, they had to enforce the stupid curfew even (25 years ago), but the one time I was caught out , with my girl friend, "parking", they let us off with a warning.
