I got a ticket for running a red light last night

I recently purchased a 1993 Honda Accord EX and have been in love with it. Its a standard and has a really awesome sound system. This car seriously puts my old van (Vantera) to shame that I used to drive.

So last night I was cruising along a street near campus jamming to some Slayer very loudly and all of the sudden I noticed a yellow light coming up ahead. Being much much much too caught up in the song "South of Heaven" I decided to skip on by this stupid yellow light only to get a cop car right behind me. Like 5 seconds later I saw the dumb sirens.

Blah blah blah, got out the car, blah blah, Liscense, do you know why you were stopped? blah blah blah

Anyways In my wallet I have like 8 coupons for a free dozen glazed donuts at Meches donuts and tried to offer the cop one as a friendly offer. He got really mad, REALLY MAD. Went off on a tangent about how people are punka$$es nowadays or something like that. I dont know, I was just being friendly 🙁 Ah well, guess I gotta go pay like 120 bucks and sit through a stupid lecture or something.

Peace :beer:


Alright people, it was not bribery! I offered him the coupon after I got the ticket, I noticed that I had a bunch of them in my wallet when I was putting my DL back and I offered him one since I am not a big fan of donuts, just trying to be nice.

Update

Here are some pics for all u fools callin shens, however my camera does kind of suck

Pic of coupon for free donuts

there's friendly, and then there's just stupid. unfortunately i would have to categorize your actions among the latter.

Maybe he doesnt need a coupon to get free donuts. Sometimes cops will be offered free food items just because.

it's all a matter of presentation. I'd make it into a friendly joke and get the cop to laugh.

Saying somethign like "how about this, free donuts, none of your pigs can resist that" will get you a rodney king style beating...

It's sort of like offering an African American IRS agent that's come to take your car because you didn't pay your taxes a coupon for some fried chicken.
 
The only things you should say to police are "yes, sir," "no, sir," and things like that. No extraneous speech. Be respectful and you're much more likely to get off with a warning.
That or be a hot chick.
