Tell us about your last (or best) run in with the cops.

[grrl]

I've never had a serious run-in with a cop, but quite a few years ago I was caught driving unlicensed in Korea. I was driving my friend's car (also an American). He was sitting in the back when I got pulled over after accidentally running a red light at a crosswalk. A young cop came over and his first shock was seeing a foreigner was driving. That left him silent for a few moments. My friend had already passed me his Korean license so I gave that to the cop. My friend is 30 years older than I am, so the cop was quite confused. He did a triple take between my face and the license, then noticed my friend in the back. He stood in silence for a few moments, then tried to ask something, but he didn't have nearly enough English. He paused again, looked around the street for a few moments, then handed back the license. Then gesturing to the stop light he struggled for words, eventually saying "Stop" before waving us on.

Bachelor after-party with a party bus at a Tbell drive through. One of the guys gets sick, runs out as we're ordering food and starts projectile puking right outside the bus. I take that opportunity to go take a leak and third guy gets outta the bus with a beer in hand.

Out of nowhere 3 ... THREE cop cars roll up from all sides and surround the party bus (lights, sirens and all...at a tbell drivethough). I get lit up like a xmas tree with the spot light as I'm pissing on dumpster, kid with a beer gets jumped and handcuffed and pukey gets thrown in one of the cop cars. I finish and approach slowly with my hands up... end up in the back of another cop car along with handcuff guy. Eventually they let us go, once they figured out that none of the drunks were driving the party bus and that we just spend 40 bucks at tbell 😀

I helped one of my friends film a short movie for the Corpus Christi 7 Day film project. The films were premiered at a theater downtown at about 7pm. While watching the films I had two beers to drink.

The whole thing got done at about 1am. Afterwards we went to go eat and then went to a bar downtown at about 1:30. Bars close at 2 so there wasnt much time for my friends to drink, since I was driving I wasnt planning on drinking but one of my friends bought me a shot so I took it.

I took everyone home when we were done, on the way home I got pulled over. The officer later claimed it was because I failed to signal on a right turn. When he came to my window he asked for license/registration, and then asked how much I had to drink that night.

I gave the officer my paperwork, which included my concealed handgun license as I was carrying at the time. As to the question about how much I had to drink that night I told the officer "I am not going to discuss that with you." I did not feel it would do any good to try to explain how little I had to drink all night.

He then asked me "isnt it illegal for you to be carrying a handgun while you are drinking." I told him the wording of the law states that its only illegal if you are intoxicated.

He asked me to step out of the car then asked about my handgun then said he was going to remove it for his safety. He then asked me to sit in the back of the car and told me that I was not under arrest. At this point I notice there is a total of 4 police cars there and about 6 officers milling about.

He and another officer start to question me asking where I was at that night, where I was going, where I work. I told them "I dont discuss my personal business with strangers." Other officers are at my car questioning my 2 other friends who were there.

After a bit I'm asked to do a field sobriety test, another officer I hadnt talked to is going to do it, and before it starts he says something to the effect of "so you told us you've had a few drinks tonight so we are going to do this FST," I corrected him and said "Actually I havent said I had anything to drink tonight." I did the FST and then the officer who I first talked to me again. Said how because I had a concealed handgun license that he knew I wasnt some gangbanger and that my friends pretty much all had the same story about the night so he let me go with a warning for failing to signal while making a turn. I got back my handgun thanks the officers for their time and continued on taking my friends home.

I actually dont remember if I had signaled or not, I think it could have just been a fishing expedition but all of the officers seemed to act professionally and while I didnt answer many of thier questions I did so in a courteous manner. All in all it gave me another story to tell about an already awesome night. 🙂

Second story is much more serious. I was 24 at this time and had been selling acid for about a year. At this time I had two sheets in the bedroom I shared with my girlfriend. We are in bed (once again, I'm naked). Suddenly we hear BOOM BOOM BOOM POLICE as they bust in the front door. They knew exactly where to go, and within 15 to 20 seconds they were at the bedroom door, beating on it and threatening to kick it in as well.

I got one sheet in my mouth, but it was too much to chew and swallow so I just crumpled the second sheet and dropped it in the pile of dirty laundry. Then they threw us face down on the bed and zipped the coil cuffs on. After a couple minutes when nobody was looking I leaned over to the edge and let the sheet of acid fall out of my mouth onto the floor.

I went to jail and tripped like mad for 3 days until I was released. I was very spaced out and forgetful for a long time after that. Since this was my first offense ever I ended up pleading out to 4 months in jail on work release.

That reminds me of my cousin. He once dropped too much acid and when he finally came down several days later he didn't even remember he had a job! 😀

Last night actually...
I had a (really) rough Friday night, so I took it easy last night
Went back to my dorm from some random apartment party and went to sleep at like 1-2 A.M.
Then my roommate's friend who was staying the night got back at like 3:30am and woke me up and wanted me to go smoke (weed)
So me, my roommate (who got back 5 minutes later), went to the friend's car to smoke in it, it was at a parking garage
The friend forgot the car keys in my dorm, so my roommate ran back to grab them
It was a truck and he happened to have a few lawn chairs in the bed, so we pulled them out and were just chilling, sitting behind the truck, looking at the bag of weed

Then I saw a person/figured it was a cop walking up the stairs (we were on second floor) and told the friend to hide the weed

He walked up to us and asked "what's up guys, what are you up to"
"nothing, just sitting here, we forgot our keys and our friend is running to get them"
"what are you going to do after you get the keys, you going to drive somewhere?"
"yea"
"you havent been drinking have you?"
"no sir"
"well you guys seem shady, and if you have been drinking, please dont drive"
"ok have a nice night"
then me (sober) drove the car a few blocks away to where the professors live and smoked up there

hahaha

one of the Best/funniest time:
I was at a concert and I had an iced tea bottle filled with Jack
I took a "swig" and then made a really sour face, only to look up to a NYPD cop staring at me
He came over and said "so whats in that bottle?"
"just some iced tea..."
"I'm going to need to look at it"
he took it and then opened the cap and smelled it
"Whiskey, eh?"
then he dumped it at my feet
I was wearing sandals and I had a cut on the bottom, stung like a bitch
"now get the hell out of here, son!"

I got out of there

Haha reminds me. Was at a college football game. My friends and I were already pretty buzzed and we brought waterbottles full of soco with us. I had a waterbottle of soco and a waterbottle of coke and was taking swigs out of each every few minutes. I was pretty fscked up and was yelling at the other team and other obscenities. People around us were laughing and finally a security guy came up and told us to dump out our bottles. I look straight at the guy and say all I have is coke! Hold up the bottle in my right hand and put the other behind my back. I look at the bottle and it's soco. I start laughing hilariously and switch the bottles. I end up pouring them both out and going home at the half.

christmas eve i got pulled over for speeding. i told the cop, "it's christmas eve. Can you please spare me?" He proceeded to shut me down and hand me the ticket with even greater haste.

A friend and I were at a mostly underage party, both of age, cops show up, friend bails with everyone else even though hes 21(Idk why), cops taze him and then for the next two hours try to figure out why he was running from them.

 

[Tweak155]

I've got a few being in a fraternity and all...

So I wasn't what you call a "light" drinker. We have this awesome party in Detroit at a huge house. 3 floors. Major party house.

Well, cops decided to come and by the time they arrived, I was gone. So I'm outside and one cop walks through the fence (there was a regular wire fence surrounding the yard). I looked at him and just turned around and yelled (apparently in a high pitched girl voice according to witnesses) "THE COPS ARE HERE EVERYONE INSIDE" and I proceed to stumble and trip.

I some how made it up to the 3rd floor (with 2 friends carrying me) and locked myself in a room.

No cops here but a scary threat of cops so I'll tell it:
Another trip to the same house on a different night... we were all stuffed in a big chevy suburban type car only I don't remember what it was now... it had a pick-up type rear end though. Anyway... we made the pledge drive because he was the only one not drinking. He didn't know how to get to this party so he was following another car to get there. We had like 5 underage drinkers in the car. I was in the back with the drunk chicks and I was getting there. Well, the guy our pledge was following continued straight when a light turned green. The guy went straight but was supposed to turn right because the road became a one way and we had to turn right. Well the guy made it through but the pledge hit a car that was turning right on his immediate left because that guy knew to turn.

So we're all freaking out because this pledge is driving someone else's car because we are all drunk and we have tons of open alcohol in the car. He pulls towards a building and a bunch of us jump out and hide the alcohol under some stairs we found. The girls were freaking out and somehow got picked up by people they knew while the guy who owned the car (but wasn't driving) was talking to the other driver.

Turns out the other driver was real cool and didn't call the cops. The owner of the vehicle paid for all the damages and didn't make the pledge pay a dime. He was a cool guy. Only thing that sucked is all the girls left while we were dicking around figuring out what we were gonna do.

Ok last story:

Back in high school I had a friend that had a new SportTrac which is nothing fancy, but he liked driving aggressive in it. Well leaving the minor details out (basically he was just driving like a prick), we get pulled over... We are just sitting there. Waiting. Then we see a second cop car pull up behind the other cop car that was already there. My friend and I were like "uh what the heck" and we were freaking out being in high school. No cop has approached us yet and we see a THIRD cop car pull around the corner.

Finally at this point a cop comes up to our window and he asks us if there is anything in the car he should know about. We were just like no... go ahead and look (we literally had nothing of note in the car). So then he produces a bag and a pipe and says "we saw you throw this out the car when you turned the corner". My friend and I were just like no sir officer.

Pretty much the guy was using scare tactics but we were good kids back then besides driving... They ended up giving him reckless driving and some other ticket. Was serious crap what they did. Had it out for us that day...

...... Because then he'd be nailed for supplying alcohol to minors?

yes, I went to several. some were a blast. some were fail. such is life.

about 98% of the friends I had going into college crapped out after hitting frat stage. some survived, but the casualty rate is quite high. It has been and will always remain an incredibly expensive method to retain your friends.

seriously....annual fees to keep your friends?
douchebag tax. whatever.

to be honest, the absolute best parties I went to in school remained far outside of the frat community. tons of people, real bands (not BS cover frat bands), free dank beer, the hot ladies, etc....

 

[irishScott]

Last and only (so far) was when I decided to go for a yellow light. Light turned red the moment I entered, and the cop was behind me (it was dark, didn't see him). This was back when I'd just gotten my license. Took it to court, cop flat-out lied during the hearing (denied asking me a question I specifically remember him asking, word, for word). I got to go to traffic school with mom and a bunch of morons (people who were going 30+ over or some stupid shit). No points though, and nothing on my record, so it could have been worse I suppose.

 

[sdifox]

Got pulled over because apparently it is a ticketable offence to have the renewal sticker in the wrong corner of the plate. Got off with a warning, but only after he checked everything is in order and it is just a matter of me putting the sticker on the wrong corner :confiused:

Whereabouts were you pulled over, btw?

 

[Descartes]

I once stepped out of my house to talk to a neighbor and didn't realize I had left the door locked. When I tried to get back in, I obviously couldn't so I commissioned my neighbor for some tools to break back in.

It wasn't my brightest moment, but I did eventually get back in the house. The cops showed up about 10 minutes later, threw me against the wall and held me at gunpoint while they searched my house. I guess a neighbor called the cops on me. I can't blame them; it was dark and I did break in.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Got pulled over for speeding on my motorcycle a couple months ago. First ticket in probably 10+ years...I'm going to traffic school for it though to keep the points off my record.

Cop was really cool, we talked about bikes for a few minutes and he didn't give me a ticket for having earbuds in...although he could have. He was on a motorcycle too.

 

[buck]

Long story short, I got pulled over two different times with pot/pipe and while drunk. I got let go while drunk because of the girl in my car and her "connections" and got a ticket for the pot. My dad is a lawyer and one of his buddies got me off totally. This was ten years ago when I was 21-22, I was an idiot then.

However, I have never driven drunk since, lesson learned.

I will tell two stories, both true.

The first was when I was about 15.

Our neighborhood crew (guys and girls) left a party and went pool hopping at a house we knew was empty (the owners were on vacation). The house was the end house next to a big parking lot of a shopping center. Since nobody had swim trunks we all just stripped down and hung our jeans and shirts on the fence.

Suddenly we hear a police radio out front, car doors opening, and the familiar sounds of handcuffs jingling and boots hitting the pavement. The girls just ran to their clothes to get dressed, and the other guys climbed out and hid in the bushes, but not me. I jumped the fence snatching a pair of jeans as I went, and made it to the street where I was chased across the parking lot completely naked, flapping in the breeze, until I reached the shopping center and hid behind a dumpster in the shopping center. The cops swooped around a couple times shining their monkey beams and then left to take all my friends home to their parents. I slinked home commando style in jeans that were not mine 😱. My parents were waiting for me because the cops had come by to drop off my ID and clothes and inform them of my antics.

Second story is much more serious. I was 24 at this time and had been selling acid for about a year. At this time I had two sheets in the bedroom I shared with my girlfriend. We are in bed (once again, I'm naked). Suddenly we hear BOOM BOOM BOOM POLICE as they bust in the front door. They knew exactly where to go, and within 15 to 20 seconds they were at the bedroom door, beating on it and threatening to kick it in as well.

Goddamn man, your second story is pretty intense.

My best cop story of all: Standing in Baltimore City Drug Court in front of all my family while Commissioner Norris shakes my hand and hands me my graduation paper erasing my charges and freeing me from all further commitments to the court. Never looked back!

[TwiceOver]

16 drinking at the beach with a bunch of friends. Went to my car to cool off and have a smoke. Cop walked up to my passenger side, grabbed my 6-pack of beer and my bottle of booze and walked back to his cruiser. Bastard.

Then the time two buddies and I were tripping and the cop ripped apart the car trying to find what we were on. Our pupils were like pie plates. The cop drove off frustrated.

Day after I turned 21 went up town for just a few drinks. Pulled over for headlight out. Car was new and freshly cleaned. Cop kept asking where the weed was. I was confused as I didn't have any, maybe he was just looking for a handout. Took everything apart he could on the street. He threw my spare tire and jack back in the trunk. I asked him if he could please put everything back as he found it since I was being discriminated against because of my long hair. He did.

The Van on the Left was the one I was Driving. Remember though, it was like 15 years earlier than this photo was taken and it looked a lot nicer then 😉 (both E350/EXT 1 ton Fords 1984/2002)

It was a Sunday afternoon and I ran out of beer, so I decided to drive a 1/4 mile to the corner store for some more.

Pulled in, bought the beer and as I was pulling out, I cut the wheel hard left and clipped the driver's side passenger car door to the right of me. Big Gouge to the car/bent my front bumper to hell. (Yes, that's a replaced bumper you see in the pic)
Cop came, and I had at least 12 beers in me at the time. My damn License expired 4 days prior also.

I was lucky as hell the cop didn't smell the alcohol on my breath. (I popped like 10 cherry tums before he got there) It was a ticket for about $90. Insurance covered everthing, but then dropped me :thumbsdown:


Lucky, very Lucky!
Never will I ever drive, even with after drinking just 1 beer!

How about you just not drive after 12 beers? I don't think it was a particular one that did you in.
