Drive 90 mph in a 55 everyday and have done so for 5 years....havent been pulled over yet 🙂 hope the cops dont see my reply 🙂
 
I recently got at ticket for having clear taillights. My mother-in-law works at the county courthouse so she had a lawyer call the cop and tell him not to show up for the hearing. So now instead of $94, all I have to pay is $6 to plead not guilty to get the hearing
 
you guys all got it lucky...
where i live, cops are assholes,
if you want, i'll post a pic, so you can see that i don't "look like a criminal"
guy pulls me over cuz "you're sopposed to stop BEFORE the stop sign, not AT the sign"
he pulls me out, searches me hardcore, grabs my ass and says "what's this!" oh, i don't know, it's in my back pocket, it's rectangular...it's a tank, i told him it was my wallet, he then rips my car apart(snapped off the door panels and everything) looking for drugs. flat out accuses me of smoking pot. then tells me to "get the hell out of here"
a co worker of mine, was rear-ended, and asked for an accident report, the cop said "i'll decide if you need on of those or not, and i'll decide if state law comes into effect here now get in your car and don't move till i tell you to hear me?" the cop then procedes to laugh and talk with the person who hit her,
a friend of mine is a cop about 30 miles away and i told him this, and he wasn't surprised, even the sourounding area cops don't like my city's cops....
 
Cop caught me at the top of a hill on the NY thruway doing 79. (Good thing I was going uphill) And heended up giving me a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt because he said he had already called it in. Just did the crying routine. You gotta let just one tear fall as your are passing him your lisence and look like youre in fear of your life. Avoid the overkill. Ive only been pulled over once but it has worked in other police-involved situations as well. 😉
 
Heh, i've also never been pulled over, but came very close once. I was going about 95 in a 55 listening to the radio when i noticed lights behind me. I started slowing down and as soon as my cars wheels hit the gravel i noticed that another car had pulled in between me and the cop car. The cop pulled the other guy over, and i took off.
 


<< Hmm... interesting point, dhslammer.

When a cop asks you typical speeding questions, what are you supposed to say?

&quot;Yes, sir, I was driving so fast I couldn't read the speed limit signs.&quot;

&quot;Sound barrior. Schmound barrier.&quot;

&quot;Who can read speed limit signs at 150 mph?!?!?&quot; is how I usually answer.
