Fun Night... with the cops.

[95formula383lt1]

Had to go to the fiance's work, to get her gym bag that has her "morning get ready stuff" that she forgot... well she wanted to take the truck i was like no lets take the formula... off we go... get into the town she works in and get pulled over... cop walks up, 2 more swing in behind him, cop takes my info... another cop waits at my door we talk about my prior problems with the town i live in local pd he agrees the a holes, and then to other cop ask for concent to search the car i say yes, he then fills out his info then ask me to step outta the car. so i do he hands me a warning for tag lites and he wouldnt issue me a ticket for that and says have a good night. i was like ur not searchin the car? he says do u mind? i was like go for it. so he ask britnie to step out she does we all talk for a min he finishes searching explains y he wanted to and says have a good night, the other officer comments how my car sounds (4inch bullet with mods in sig) and were on our way

1st good experience with a cop in along time i must say im very pleased lol and had to share... i thought for sure i was racking up more tickets like i did a few months ago for exhaust, tires, and dirty tag that totaled 300 bucks lol. i only hate how they always ask where ur coming from an where ur going though i mean does it really freakin matter lol? and asking where u work? its not really needed i dont think to make an arrest or give a warning or ticket. im deff no complaining but i just question it. Britnie mentioned that she worked at a law firm i think that made it go so smoothly lol.

[bitchinbird99lt1]

You have PLENTY of good expericenes with a cop almost every day!! POPO!!! :D

I do have to say these guys were very nice, but I was freezzziiiinnngggg my butt off!! :D

P.S I told you we should take the truck!! :D

[Z28pr0jekt]

I don't understand what gave them the thought they needed to search the vehicle?

[95formula383lt1]

I don't understand what gave them the thought they needed to search the vehicle?

he said it was routine and he ask all the ppl he pulls over at night? i didnt understand ether however i had nothing at all to hide so it didnt matter i just ask that they treat my stuff with respect and not throw it outta the car like my lower rear seats, a local cop did it to my buddys car and threw his stuff in dirt.

[Huff035]

Britnie I don't see how you were freezing your butt off, you live in FL come on...seriously. lol

[Z28pr0jekt]

Almost positive you need reasonable cause to search and it is not a routine procedure. I've been pulled over a lot over the years and never once did I have my vehicle searched even after one cop having me step out of the car and asking if I had guns or drugs in the car and trying to see if I was lying about my passenger

[Phstratton]

I've never had a good experience with a cop...

[richardson]

a couple weeks ago, i was stopped and asked for a search..
I was doing about 63ish in a 55 when I passed a gas station where an officer was sitting. when i went by i didn't slam the brakes or anything but just kept going, i felt pretty assured because
1. he was walking to his vehicle
2. my radar didn't go off (Escort Passport 8500 X50) and it has always been awesome at going off WELL before I see them.

anyways about 5 minutes along my way I noticed somebody tailgating me and looked at the headlight configuration and it was a Charger. I knew that it would be the officer so I looked at my speed and it was about 59-60 (in this 55). He pulls me over. When he walks up and he tells me I was doing 68 in a 55. I was really confused, so I repeated what he said pretty much.

"so, you clocked me, doing 68mph.. on this road?"
he got really flustered and said.. "....um,...yes"
Then he told me to step out.
he goes to his car and sends in my info i'm assuming then comes back and asks
"Sir, do you mind if I search your vehicle at this time?"
me: "I'm sorry, search my vehicle??"
cop: "yes"
me: "umm.. i don't know if I feel comfortable with you going through all my stuff"
cop: gets very agitated "Sir, let me put it to you this way, I have a K-9 Unit just down the road waiting and I can have him come up here, no problem, and if that K-9 is alerted, we'll search your car whether you like or NOT!"
me: "wait, wait, don't you have to have some type of reason to search my car though?"
cop: "yes.. but not if you let me"
me: "oh ok.. well.. I don't really like the idea of somebody going through my car"
cop: "Sir, you are acting a lot like somebody who has, i don't know, 5 POUNDS of marijuana in your car."
me: "are you kidding me? I don't. Sir, I just like to keep my private things, private."
cop: "well... let me put it to you this way, you can either
A. Make me call up the K-9 unit, the dog will walk around and if he's alerted, we'll search you, and you'll get a 68 in a 55 ticket.
or B. you can let ME search your car, and you'll walk right on out of here without a ticket"
me: "well..... as much as I don't like this, I can't afford that ticket with college... so go ahead"


and no, he didn't find 5 pounds of marijuana

[richardson]

I've never had a good experience with a cop...

me either. there should be a survey. have you ever had at least ONE good experience with a cop.

[Z28pr0jekt]

I get quite annoyed when cops just make up bullshit to claim they had reasonable cause.

I went through that shit about a month ago with one of my friends where a cop blatantly lied and said we had just come out of a certain parking lot that we were never even in.

[Phstratton]

I honestly fucking hate most cops. Instead of patrolling streets and making sure no one is getting jumped or beating their wife and kids, they're out giving speeding tickets to people who are going 5 over to get home because it's late. Seriously, how does that benefit anyone?

[richardson]

i was shocked on my way home. the cop pretty much bargained a ticket to let him search me.. :hmm:

I'm pretty sure I'm on some type of "BOLO" though. I've been getting stopped like CRAZY for the dumbest reasons ever since I had a run-in with an officer for "Wreckless Driving", that I won in court.

I got stopped once where the police car was going the opposite direction, hit his brakes (you know when you see the nose drop and they do the u-turn and you just KNOW you're getting pulled over) well, he did that and you know what he said he pulled me over for..

ONE of my rear license plate lights were out..
he didn't give me a ticket but then before he let me go he asked me to get out of the car and kept pestering me about whether or not I was drinking that night...


-----------

..OH and before i left he said, "drinking and driving is a good way to screw up your commissioning."

I have no idea how he knew i was ROTC

[Phstratton]

i was shocked on my way home. the cop pretty much bargained a ticket to let him search me.. :hmm:


Maybe he thought you were cute...

Btw, we need a motorboat smilie :D

[richardson]

lol, i meant my car

[Z28pr0jekt]

I have respect for most officers and I've had some pull me over when I was completely in the wrong and end up letting me off.

But then I've had others who exaggerated my speed by 10-20mph over what I was actually going. I understand the concept of speed traps and whatnot but I find it funny I just read an article yesterday where a state increased their highway speed limit to 80mph and LESS accidents are occurring

[Phstratton]

I think it's all bullshit. They catch soccer mom's that are a little late getting their kids to soccer practice rather than actual criminals.

[95formula383lt1]

yea he asked if i had any guns kifes weapons in the car i said uhh nope. he goes then you wouldnt mind if i searched ur car....pause....sure. He then went back to his car. He got me for tag lites only i was doing the speed limit. My car is nasty loud though i thought thats y i was getting pulled over he had no chance to run my tags ether he pulled off a side street then flipped on his lights and yanked me it was odd. nice cops i just didnt like my shit getting searched, they even went through britnies purse in the car and under my shifter boot thing that was snapped in. i have no priors that have anything to do with guns, knifes, weapons, drugs are alcohol. so i dont understand the seatch. all i have is like 15-18 points lol.

[Phstratton]

...he pulled off a side street then flipped on his lights and yanked me it was odd...

The cop that pulled me over was a buddy and i got away with a warning but it was retarded. some cops are just pathetic.

I have also had a few run-ins with the cops and most have been for something retarded. Window tint when I had my windows down... Search my car for a muffler which he found... Too bad he didn't look for cats! LOL just a bunch of bs. Only been pulled over for speeding once, it was in my truck and I was actually speeding, didn't know the road and didn't make excuses, he saw my radar detector.

Oh I've been stopped in my car for having a radar when it was just fm radio! LOL he searched my car for that.

And I've been in one DUI checkpoint but was good to go.

[bitchinbird99lt1]

Britnie I don't see how you were freezing your butt off, you live in FL come on...seriously. lol
Yes, but it is starting to get chilly at night and I am always very cold. lol I knew someone would ask me about that.

[Huff035]

Cold hearted? lol.

[proace4]

so how cold does it get there at night? Or in general? I've never been to Florida cept a stop at key west on a cruise I went on a long time ago. Which doesn't really count...

[Huff035]

Probably like 60... at night in the winter... bastards. lol

[proace4]

On the window tint experience I was ignorant and thought it was a breathalyzer! LOL I know right... And on the muffler search I was extremely nice because I couldn't afford a ticket for no cats.

I had the tint removed and then took my reciept to court and then later had it put back on and darker. :)

[proace4]

LOL^^^ huff how cold us it where you hail from? Here in Kansas it gets around 40 at night. Which isn't bad until the wind picks up! Then it's balls cold and only gets colder!!

[Huff035]

LOL^^^ huff how cold us it where you hail from? Here in Kansas it gets around 40 at night. Which isn't bad until the wind picks up! Then it's balls cold and only gets colder!!

When? Right now we are having a mild couple of weeks (low 40's at night; 50-60 in the day) but like two weeks ago it was getting down in the mid to low 30's at night and 50's during the day. It gets cold enough here for me. This is about as far north as I want to live. lol.

[95formula383lt1]

lol it as 65ish last night, haha and its 77 here today, it will be low 50s tonight. im in the South west part of florida but it has got to the 20s and 30s during the winter and its even snowed here many years ago....

yes huff cold hearted could be right hahah... jus messing with u britnie.

[bluebird94]

No fucking way I'd ever give consent to a search. People think "ah, I've got nothing to hide, so why not?" If you have nothing to hide then there should be absolutely no reason to search the vehicle. You don't have to prove yourselves to the cops. They're not looking to see how good of a person you are because you don't keep drugs/weapons/etc in your car. They WANT to find something on you. DON'T TALK TO COPS, NEVER CONSENT TO SEARCHES.

i completly agree and ive always been one to say no, no matter what, but being my car is insanly loud and i cannot afford another ticket i didnt want to make them think i was an asshole and start issuing me tickets for stuff that they could. i dont like anyone looking thru my car even britnie. Its my stuff an my privacy. but ill never consent to another search shit they even padded down my body when i oviously had nothing to hide.

[proace4]

Yes ma'am!

[Huff035]

What about Popo? He's a good guy. I've met him, just like anybody else...

If you come to steal it after i'm done with it, you MAY just meet a gun barrel. Just saying... lmao. You'd never find me anyways, you'd get lost. I live in bum fuck no where. lol. But I still see more 4th gens around here then anywhere I've been. lol

[proace4]

Popo is just nuts! Up offense but my dad barely drives my car... Idk I'm weird ibguess but no one drives my car. My friend tried to get me to drive his car so he can drive mine and I'm like I think not! LOL LS1 owners... :)

[KissMyWhtSS]

Maybe I'm weird but I've never really had any issues with the police, and respect them.

I've been pulled over a couple times for minor issues (no license plate light, expired sticker -- had proof of online registration renewal and the sticker was in the mail, etc.)

But I've never received any infractions. It comes down to respect, and I can't speak for all areas but most cops aren't "dicks."

lol if someone tired to steal mine before or after mods there still going to meet a barrel ether way. i wouldnt steal anyones car im not a thief lol. however id like to have ur car so giving it to me would make my sitution much easier lol. but then again i dont like being a mooch so ill just trade ya lol.

+1, most of the time they are just doing their job. Some of them take it out of hand but most don't. And some precautions that people call "bullshit" are just for their safety. You never know what somebodies going to do. People are dumb...

the cops around here are very rough i respect them always up until they hand me a ticket that i dont feel i deserve, and i have deserved many that ive recieved but then again there are alot that i shouldnt have and the cop was just a prick. the cops last night that i talked to knew them by name and agreed and said a few bad things about them as well.

i mean seriously 100 dollar ticket for having dirt on my tag? or exibition of speed saying i sounded like i was going fast, or waving to a cop when i wasnt speeding and got offended an told another cop i was and i got pulled over when i was doing under the speed limit. there are many very good cops that have very much respect for some are my friends, but theres many that go beyond there job in a bad way

Whats the point? Our cars keep getting more similar to the other. lol. Just buy my wheels in Feb. and you will basically have my car in a sense. lol.

[95formula383lt1]

lol urs looks nicer then mine does right now, it would be less work an no money spent for me, mine is really rough looking right now needs paint an body work bad!

[Huff035]

Didnt you tell me that you had used your hood for stress relief or something? Well I have one that will match it perfect! Well except no dents. lol. How much is shipping to FL? lol

[95formula383lt1]

lol yes stress relief it was, then i had the computer laying on the fender well, and the wind blew my hood closed so now the hood looks like i ass ended a truck all wrinkled up an junk from where it formed around the computer. i have bad luck, i had my computer out tracing wire locations for brits car yea go figure lol. shipping would be 150 or more lol.

[ksmyss]

I have had good and bad run ins with the police.

The last time I was pulled over I was in the slow lane, behind a buddy that never speeds, on our way to a friends wedding rehersal. I was actually being passed by 3 cars and was thinking about getting over and passing him to keep up with traffic when I saw lights. I figured one of the cars passing us was nailed but nope, it was me. He said I was doing 75 in a 60. I was like "WTF are you talking about?!" I didn't have time to argue with him over it and after 15-20 minutes on the side of the road I finally signed the damn thing and left.

I know for a fact I wasn't speeding and my buddy even was amaized. If I wasn't the best man and didn't need to be there I would have gone off. I am always "yes sir, No sir" ect. anytime I get pulled over or talk to an officer but this went too far, for me anyway.

[Huff035]

Had to go to the fiance's work, to get her gym bag that has her "morning get ready stuff" that she forgot... well she wanted to take the truck i was like no lets take the formula... off we go... get into the town she works in and get pulled over... cop walks up, 2 more swing in behind him, cop takes my info... another cop waits at my door we talk about my prior problems with the town i live in local pd he agrees the a holes, and then to other cop ask for concent to search the car i say yes, he then fills out his info then ask me to step outta the car. so i do he hands me a warning for tag lites and he wouldnt issue me a ticket for that and says have a good night. i was like ur not searchin the car? he says do u mind? i was like go for it. so he ask britnie to step out she does we all talk for a min he finishes searching explains y he wanted to and says have a good night, the other officer comments how my car sounds (4inch bullet with mods in sig) and were on our way

1st good experience with a cop in along time i must say im very pleased lol and had to share... i thought for sure i was racking up more tickets like i did a few months ago for exhaust, tires, and dirty tag that totaled 300 bucks lol. i only hate how they always ask where ur coming from an where ur going though i mean does it really freakin matter lol? and asking where u work? its not really needed i dont think to make an arrest or give a warning or ticket. im deff no complaining but i just question it. Britnie mentioned that she worked at a law firm i think that made it go so smoothly lol.


Remember, everything I will say is based on PA laws and the experiences I have had...

1st off, Im happy you had your "first good experience with a cop".... we are not all dicks.... however even I have been a dick.... but it takes alot of pushing to get me there.....

reasonable suspicion: is fairly simple for an Officer to validate... if you are driving by a known drug area and stop to speak with someone on a corner... simple...

PA has made it even easier for us as Police Officers to stop a vehicle.... and it is almost to the point of not what you KNOW rather, what you think you may know... In the past it required Probable cause to stop someone.... but like I said PA has made it easier...

Just remember that a consent search is simply asking for prmission.... I can ask anyone at any time for consent, and at the time I dont HAVE TO explain myself.... However , you as the contact person have to feel as though you are free to leave... I must have already issued you your citation or warning, returned your paperwork and let you know you were free to go prior to asking.... I CAN NOT tell you, If you dont give me consent I will get a warrant to search your vehicle... COnsent must be given freely......

However, if you have nothing to hide.... whats the worry...? Yes I understand, people want their PRIVATE STUFF PRIVATE, but lets be honest.... people are not running around with center consols full of their undies or shit like that.....

I have asked for consent plenty of times.... and in most times, Im looking for the persons reaction... I dont realy wana stick my hands in peoples shit....

[popo8]

You have PLENTY of good expericenes with a cop almost every day!! POPO!!! :D

I do have to say these guys were very nice, but I was freezzziiiinnngggg my butt off!! :D

P.S I told you we should take the truck!! :D


THANKYOU!

[popo8]

I don't understand what gave them the thought they needed to search the vehicle?


And you may never understand why... hell he may not even know why... It does not mean their was not a reason...

Im not saying Cops never do shady stuff.... but it doesnt mean they all do.... People are human, and there are good and bad in everyone....

[5POINT7]

I dont have a problem with giving consent, its sometimes you get the one that just rips through your car, tearing up you panels etc. I got nothing to hide, I just dont want my stuff damaged.

[popo8]

he said it was routine and he ask all the ppl he pulls over at night? i didnt understand ether however i had nothing at all to hide so it didnt matter i just ask that they treat my stuff with respect and not throw it outta the car like my lower rear seats, a local cop did it to my buddys car and threw his stuff in dirt.


And if a cop can prove they ask consent of EVERY vehicle they stop, or that they have a routine, say EVERY 3rd vehicle they stop.... there is nothing wrong with that...

Its the equivilent of a DUI chekcpoint.... you are stopping people in a checkpoint for not having anything done wrong.... But you are stopping EVERYONE.... no targeting... everyone is treated equally...

[popo8]

Britnie I don't see how you were freezing your butt off, you live in FL come on...seriously. lol


My best friend moved to Florida from PA 9 years ago.... he visits every christmas and whines like a lil girl at the cold. I think southern people just adapt to their enviornment and any cold is more of a shock to them...

[popo8]

Almost positive you need reasonable cause to search and it is not a routine procedure. I've been pulled over a lot over the years and never once did I have my vehicle searched even after one cop having me step out of the car and asking if I had guns or drugs in the car and trying to see if I was lying about my passenger


Actually you need Probable Cause.... however, with consent... you dont because you were giving permission...

And almost every stop I have starts the same way. "Good morning/evening, Im Officer hanna fromt he UPPD and the reason I stoped you is for _________. License Registration and Insurance" Once I have those items...." before I walk away, do you have any guns knives drugs weapons of hand grenades in the vehicle?"

See its routine for me that has worked for the past 8years plus. Other Officers do it their way, but you ask the question and not only look for the answer, but also look for the reaction of the person answering...

[popo8]

I've never had a good experience with a cop...


Thats Rude... aheeeem:cry:

[popo8]

a couple weeks ago, i was stopped and asked for a search..
I was doing about 63ish in a 55 when I passed a gas station where an officer was sitting. when i went by i didn't slam the brakes or anything but just kept going, i felt pretty assured because
1. he was walking to his vehicle
2. my radar didn't go off (Escort Passport 8500 X50) and it has always been awesome at going off WELL before I see them.

anyways about 5 minutes along my way I noticed somebody tailgating me and looked at the headlight configuration and it was a Charger. I knew that it would be the officer so I looked at my speed and it was about 59-60 (in this 55). He pulls me over. When he walks up and he tells me I was doing 68 in a 55. I was really confused, so I repeated what he said pretty much.

"so, you clocked me, doing 68mph.. on this road?"
he got really flustered and said.. "....um,...yes"
Then he told me to step out.
he goes to his car and sends in my info i'm assuming then comes back and asks
"Sir, do you mind if I search your vehicle at this time?"
me: "I'm sorry, search my vehicle??"
cop: "yes"
me: "umm.. i don't know if I feel comfortable with you going through all my stuff"
cop: gets very agitated "Sir, let me put it to you this way, I have a K-9 Unit just down the road waiting and I can have him come up here, no problem, and if that K-9 is alerted, we'll search your car whether you like or NOT!"
me: "wait, wait, don't you have to have some type of reason to search my car though?"
cop: "yes.. but not if you let me"
me: "oh ok.. well.. I don't really like the idea of somebody going through my car"
cop: "Sir, you are acting a lot like somebody who has, i don't know, 5 POUNDS of marijuana in your car."
me: "are you kidding me? I don't. Sir, I just like to keep my private things, private."
cop: "well... let me put it to you this way, you can either
A. Make me call up the K-9 unit, the dog will walk around and if he's alerted, we'll search you, and you'll get a 68 in a 55 ticket.
or B. you can let ME search your car, and you'll walk right on out of here without a ticket"
me: "well..... as much as I don't like this, I can't afford that ticket with college... so go ahead"


and no, he didn't find 5 pounds of marijuana


The story just doesnt flow... either we are completly missing something in this story.... or you are not aware of everything that was going on...

[5POINT7]

hand grenades in the vehicle?"

no sir? :tank:

:laugh:

[popo8]

I honestly fucking hate most cops. Instead of patrolling streets and making sure no one is getting jumped or beating their wife and kids, they're out giving speeding tickets to people who are going 5 over to get home because it's late. Seriously, how does that benefit anyone?


So when your brother sister mother or father dies because they got hit by someone who was speeding, who was also intoxicated that may have been ablt to be stopped, you still see no benifit????

[5POINT7]

ouch! :face_shocked: I have to agree with that.

[popo8]

i was shocked on my way home. the cop pretty much bargained a ticket to let him search me.. :hmm:

I'm pretty sure I'm on some type of "BOLO" though. I've been getting stopped like CRAZY for the dumbest reasons ever since I had a run-in with an officer for "Wreckless Driving", that I won in court.

I got stopped once where the police car was going the opposite direction, hit his brakes (you know when you see the nose drop and they do the u-turn and you just KNOW you're getting pulled over) well, he did that and you know what he said he pulled me over for..

ONE of my rear license plate lights were out..
he didn't give me a ticket but then before he let me go he asked me to get out of the car and kept pestering me about whether or not I was drinking that night...


-----------

..OH and before i left he said, "drinking and driving is a good way to screw up your commissioning."

I have no idea how he knew i was ROTC



REGISTRATION ILLUMINTATION: its a violation

I don't see how it benefits to harass people the way most cops do. I'm all for road blocks and check points to find drunk drivers, and even pulling over someone that is swerving or out really late at night, but a drunk driver is not going to be driving around at 1pm in the afternoon. I mean it could happen but very rarely. I don't think they should stop patrolling altogether I just feel like other things are more important than speeding tickets.

It's all about the money. They pull over people because they know they'll pay. If I was next to a shitty ass red Honda with four white doors and they were going 20 over, and I was going 10 over; I would get pulled over because they know the people in the Honda probably won't even pay.

[Phstratton]

Thats Rude... aheeeem:cry:

except for you :)

[popo8]

I have respect for most officers and I've had some pull me over when I was completely in the wrong and end up letting me off.

But then I've had others who exaggerated my speed by 10-20mph over what I was actually going. I understand the concept of speed traps and whatnot but I find it funny I just read an article yesterday where a state increased their highway speed limit to 80mph and LESS accidents are occurring


If you understand the idea of SPEED TRAPS, you would understand that they are not TRAPS at all. They are speed ENFORCEMNT DETAILS.... by no means do the POLICE force a driver to speed then TRAP them.... People speed on their own....

And you are correct in most cases when the speed limit has been raised, less accidents happen. However when they do happen, the severity is much worse.... hence that is why it is left up to the DEPARTMENT of TRANSPORTATION of the individual state to assess those areas... Usually based off of Reportable Accident reports filled by your local crooked Police Officers....

also because of what you drive, ive seen that happen before

Yes, very pathetic.

Ouch X's 2:cry:

[popo8]

23 now 24 posts and we haven't had a statement from popo??? Is he sick? Get well popo!!

I have also had a few run-ins with the cops and most have been for something retarded. Window tint when I had my windows down... Search my car for a muffler which he found... Too bad he didn't look for cats! LOL just a bunch of bs. Only been pulled over for speeding once, it was in my truck and I was actually speeding, didn't know the road and didn't make excuses, he saw my radar detector.

Oh I've been stopped in my car for having a radar when it was just fm radio! LOL he searched my car for that.

And I've been in one DUI checkpoint but was good to go.

Just remember because we dont agree with a certain violation being a violation does not change the fact that it is illegal. We all roll the dice when we break the law whether tinting windows like I did (and recieved a ticket) or if we chose to rob a bank....

[popo8]

"Window tint when I had my windows down... Search my car for a muffler which he found... "

^seriously wow, thats awesome. did u give him a hard time about it?


Just so we all understand... even if windows are down.... if the equiptment is on the vehicle it must work... so out of sight is not out of mind.... "roll them up sir"....

[popo8]

No fucking way I'd ever give consent to a search. People think "ah, I've got nothing to hide, so why not?" If you have nothing to hide then there should be absolutely no reason to search the vehicle. You don't have to prove yourselves to the cops. They're not looking to see how good of a person you are because you don't keep drugs/weapons/etc in your car. They WANT to find something on you. DON'T TALK TO COPS, NEVER CONSENT TO SEARCHES.


And that is your perogative to not give consent...

And you are correct you dont hae to prove yourself to the Police....

Just remember to those who do try to hide things, there are ways around consent..... plain view/warrant/ in some states K9's give PC..... etc...

As far as your last sentence... just remember that same thought should work BOTH WAYS.... so when someone is in your home , or taking off with your car... DONT TALK TO COPS.

[95formula383lt1]

Ouch X's 2:cry:

that was suposed to be some cops are just pathetic lol sorry popo if i woulda seen it earlyer i woulda fixed it just got my computer back from the IT repair an u have to press harder on the keys on this keyboard then u do on brits key board so ive been having to edit my post. i sware i meant to say some cops are pathetic ( i think in that same paragrah i said i have some local cops that are my friends lol).

[popo8]

What about Popo? He's a good guy. I've met him, just like anybody else...


thank You!

[popo8]

popo8 i dont even think of as a cop, hes nice an cool as hell and is willing to go as far has he can to help me and other members on here out. huff hes even willing to let u drive his car i think he stated in another thread thats crazy lol. hes always been there to help me out since he joined. so he doesnt count in the "dont talk to cops"


Thank You

[popo8]

Maybe I'm weird but I've never really had any issues with the police, and respect them.

I've been pulled over a couple times for minor issues (no license plate light, expired sticker -- had proof of online registration renewal and the sticker was in the mail, etc.)

But I've never received any infractions. It comes down to respect, and I can't speak for all areas but most cops aren't "dicks."

DEAD ON! if you dont do anything wrong.... you have nothing to worry bout...

[popo8]

+1, most of the time they are just doing their job. Some of them take it out of hand but most don't. And some precautions that people call "bullshit" are just for their safety. You never know what somebodies going to do. People are dumb...


Another one thats DEAD ON!!!!

You should try using the multi qoute tool this time. ;) lol. It makes it easier for everyone. lol

I would have hoped that last sentence wouldn't have been misconstrued, given the context of the topic at hand. Obviously, it shouldn't work both ways. Being a victim of crime and filing a report and being questioned/searched for a crime you may or may not have committed are entirely different situations.

[popo8]

I dont have a problem with giving consent, its sometimes you get the one that just rips through your car, tearing up you panels etc. I got nothing to hide, I just dont want my stuff damaged.


And if that happens (which it never SHOULD) you file a complaint and have an attorney sent the HNIC at the PD a letter for reimburment for damages caused.

[popo8]

no sir? :tank:

:laugh:


You would be suprised how much throwning something like that can tell you.... Someone who is hiding something, is dead set on letting you know there is nothing in the car. however most people who are not doing anything wrong will say "no, no, no... a handgrendade?"... because they are listening to what your saying rather than just trying to deflect Police attention....

You hinestly thingk we care about the money ? Do u think we make a commision???? I get paid what Im getting paid whether I am doing something or doing nothing.... when i write a ticked (cheapest in PA being 109.50) the Police Department gets 12 dollars..... you really think thats what we do it for.......?

Btw, most of the DUIs I have ever had have been between 5:30am and 10pm..... not even in the normal bar hours.... BTW.... when that speeder is high on meth...... he doesnt have to wait for any bar to open up to smoke up.....

Again I cant speak for every Officer out there... but do you think the MAJORITY of Officers care what your driving to make their decision on writting a ticket...

Dont you think that an Officer who is investigating a crime that he is not sure who commited it, deserves to have you the public help he/she out with it... and if it means I have to inconvienence you to know that your not the person.... then I dont think you should leave it a question in the officers mind... esp when you havent done anything wrong....

I honestly don't know dude but I've sat in a Court Room and watched a Judge declare that these meth heads were guilty, then when the lady that they owed a bunch of money stepped up to the judge and said "how do I get my money back?" He said "That's not my problem, you have to solve that as a private citizen". Then when a truck driver that had been hauling logs and was slightly overweight walked up to the stand, the Judge said "Guilty, your fine is 2000."

The legal system doesn't care about enforcing the laws and helping those that need it anymore. It's about money.

I know it's not you popo, I know you don't care about the money. You're a good guy, but there are cops and justices that do.

[popo8]

Beyond enforcement and prosecution, I dont claim to understand the judicial system. And you are correct the goverment is nothing more than a big bussiness. Monitary payment is acceptable punishment for most violations...

But for a thread aimed at good cops/bad cops..... the money doesnt matter to us... we dont get any of it....

Okay popo. I understand.

i hope it doesnt piss him off i was just curious cuz theres a few cops that walk up to me at gas stations an chat with me about my car and they look at it an stuff. and ive been pulled over before in my buddys dodge truck and the cop was more curious on what mods he had done an how to do them then giving him the warning or ticket, he had my buddy poping the hood looking under the truck and all.

i also wonder how many ppl drive like an ass around him trying to show off or race him when hes out cruising in the camaro lol. that would be funny to be able to pull up to a light an say something like just to inform u i am a off duty cop an flash the badge, and watch them slowly crawl away from the light an go a diffrent direction lol

Quite honestly, I hardly write tickets anymore... Im still out on the streets and I still patrol my 12 hour shifts.... but I just dont think tickets make the difference, but hell Ive been wrong before (BRICE/PARISH).... When I first started 8 years ago, I was a HAMMER... I was the "DICK" and although I didnt fabricate shit or break the rules, I also gave no one a break... Id average 10-20 citations a shift...... My nick name was CAPTAIN CARSTOP and that was by other cops...

To answer your questiong.... I have stopped many a cool car, and BS'd about cars.... I find a reason and make their aquaintance..... more specifically, I have NEVER written a ticket to any LT1 operators.... but that may just be, cuz they dont fuk up round here....

My experience has unfortunately been if I actually forgot about that and said that.. I would get

"Oh you forgot huh?"

Almost every time I have been pulled over, my credibility has been on trial when I have given no reason for anyone to presume anything but the truth.

If someone is looking for wrong, it's easy to find wrong. Like I said, about a month ago me and a friend were pulled over after a cop blatantly lied and claimed we came out of a parking lot we were never in. I got into a pretty heated argument with the officer because no matter what you think or say, you can't just make up probable cause because you damn well feel like it.

Here is the story copied from when I posted it somewhere else

"But as me and Dan learned tonight it is probable cause to pull somebody over for driving down a road on "street racing day"

Straight from the cops mouth. We literally got pulled over for driving by a parking lot which the cop then BOLD FACE LIED and said that we just exited the parking lot. I explained that I had more than a couple witnesses to prove we just came from beach blvd.

And the cop tried getting all technical and saying "you don't think that was probable cause to pull you over"

I said "for what?"

he says for pulling out of a parking lot where street racing was going on

and I said "no because we weren't in the parking lot we were just driving down the road"


So OFFICIALLY Saturday is now apparently national Street Racing Day, we can all rejoice.

I'm sure there is more but I'm still a bit heated about all of this."

That's just a basic rundown but that's exactly how it went down.

[popo8]

I understand, Im not saying the cop didnt BS, but Im not going to say he did either, Im just saying its the three of you who know or think they know what happened that day, and I cant really comment on it....

Mind you we were also in a Harley Davidson Crew Cab F150... by no means a sports car.


wow popo... you really lined them up and sat them down. gave me quite the read after my twilight shift! lol

and my roommate has a Harley supercrew and so does my uncle, mid 14 sec is being quite nice to them. my little RST is faster than both of them and its like a 15 flat on a good day.


I do the best I can with what I have to work with.... I wana say this again... I just want to give people who live outside the LE (not LLYOD ELLIOT) community to know how WE see things.... Im the most boisterous cop on this site, but I know there are others, and non of them have told me Im out of line (in PM) which I would hope they would if I got carried away....

[finnv3]

I have had 3 run ins with the cops. 1st was a seat beat ticket (really who cares). 2nd was a speeding ticket(82 in a 70). 3rd was a supposed street racing ticket(judge gave me 30 hours community service and pre trial divert).

From my run ins, some cops are cool some are not. Sometimes it depends on what you have been doing. I have never got off with a warning, even tho my bro was pulled over for 98 in a 70 and got a seat bealt ticket(wtf?). So far i have never been searched. Most of the cops here are big dicks and they just get on your nerves more then anything else and will pull anyone over for just about anything. I saw a guy get pulled over for just driving and he waved at a cop.

This is why we go to sommerset to have our fun. In sommerset there is a crusie and during the cruise, which is from about 7-9, the cops either stay off the strip or end up on the strip, but WILL NOT pull you over for racing or burnout as long as you know what you are doing. Why cant cops be more like this? Most of the time its just harmless fun.

[bluebird94]

what Im saying is if you have done nothing wrong, why not eliminate yourself from suspicion for whatever reason there may be some...


Because that's not how it works. Anything you say can only be used against you, not to help you. You may very well be incriminating yourself by lending any information about your relation to a crime--even if you're trying to help, even if you're trying to convey your innocence, even if you're guilty. Talking can only hurt you. That's why we have the Miranda Rights; they're to protect the innocent, not hide the guilty.


Yea but I feel it's as simple as finding my swiss army knife in my center console and BAM I was lying about weapons or some shit like that.

Exactly.

NOT IF YOU DIDNT DO ANYTHING WRONG!


I guess, I dont know you well enough but these are statements made by the guilty....

[95formula383lt1]

i dont get the system at all, i apparently i was arrested but i didnt even know about it cuz i only got read my ,miranda rights and wasnt even told i was arrested, and then pretty much went home after it but a few years later i find out that i was arrested that night an have a criminal record. all this happend after he took my statement too. oo well life is awesome. just need to get it all taken off my record now lol thanks for the advice on that popo.

i think they should clone 1 of you for each town popo and make u the head sheirf of them all so that it could keep things straighter. lol ur one of the few cops that have there head on staight.

[Camaro_94]

I've been pulled over quite a few times. Nothing much ever really came out of them though. My worst was a 71 in a 55, which got reduced to failure to stop at a stop sign or some BS like that.

I got a ticket for my exhaust on my old Camaro... Court dropped it.

A cop searched my car before.... Which I thought was BS. It was kinda embarrasing sitting on the side of a highway with a cop going all throughout my Formula. I didnt want to be a wise ass because I didnt think that would end well, but I really wanted to... Since there was absolutely NOTHING in my car, nor has there ever been anything that would have ever gotten me in trouble. He didnt find anything, tried to justify it, then let me go.

Eitherway, at the end of the day, police officers are just doing their job. Sometimes they may come off as pricks, some of them are, but theyre the reason why criminals out of public and help protect the people. If you dont do anything wrong, you shouldnt be afraid to talk to them or make their jobs easier. The only way you're going to get in trouble, get tickets, or fined is if YOU do something wrong. Granted, some cops may not be the sharpest tools in the shed when it comes to car knowledge; a cop gave a friend of mine a ticket for no catelytic convertors on his 68 galexy when he had 2, but since he didnt do anything wrong, nothing happened in court! The cop that gave him the tickets is actually sitting in jail right now for sexually assulting a few women, but thats besides the point. :shame:

I'm not arguing with you, I'm telling you that's how it is. I don't know how I could have stated it more plainly. The 5th Amendment is to protect the innocent. Oh, being innocent means YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG! Just in case you weren't clear on that part.

I honestly fucking hate most cops. Instead of patrolling streets and making sure no one is getting jumped or beating their wife and kids, they're out giving speeding tickets to people who are going 5 over to get home because it's late. Seriously, how does that benefit anyone?


Read This Slowly
Jack took a long look at his speedometer
before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone.
Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so often?


When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but only partially.
Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard. Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror.
The cop was stepping out of his car,
the big pad in hand.


Bob? Bob from Church?
Jack sunk farther into his trench coat.
This was worse than the coming ticket.
A cop catching a guy from his own church.
A guy who happened to be a little eager
to get home after a long day at the office.
A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow.



Jumping out of the car, he approached a man he saw every Sunday, a man he'd never seen in uniform.



'Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this.'


'Hello, Jack.' No smile.


'Guess you caught me red-handed
in a rush to see my wife and kids.'



'Yeah, I guess.' Bob seemed uncertain.
Good.


'I've seen some long days at the office lately. I'm afraid I bent the rules a bit -just this once.'

Jack toed at a pebble on the pavement.
'Diane said something about roast beef and potatoes tonight. Know what I mean?'




'I know what you mean.. I also know that you have a reputation in our precinct .'
Ouch. This was not going in the right direction. Time to change tactics.


'What'd you clock me at?'


'Seventy. Would you sit back in your car please?'


'Now wait a minute here, Bob. I checked as soon as I saw you. I was barely nudging 65.' The lie seemed to come easier with every ticket.



'Please, Jack, in the car'


Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door. Slamming it shut, he stared at the dashboard. He was in no rush to open the window.



The minutes ticked by.
Bob scribbled away on the pad.


Why hadn't he asked for a driver's license?



Whatever the reason, it would be a month of Sundays before Jack ever sat near this cop again.



A tap on the door jerked his head to the left. There was Bob, a folded paper in hand
Jack rolled down the window a mere two inches, just enough room for Bob to pass him the slip.

'Thanks.' Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.

Bob returned to his police car without a word. Jack watched his retreat in the mirror. Jack unfolded the sheet of paper.
How much was this one going to cost?

Wait a minute.
What was this? Some kind of joke?

Certainly not a ticket. Jack began to read:

'Dear Jack, Once upon a time I had a daughter. She was six when killed by a car. You guessed it - a speeding driver.
A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his daughters, all three of them. Only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven before I can ever hug her again.


A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man. A thousand times I thought I had.
Maybe I did, but I need to do it again.
Even now. Pray for me. And be careful, Jack, my son is all I have left.'

'Bob'

Jack turned around in time to see Bob's car pull away and head down the road.
Jack watched until it disappeared..
A full 15 minutes later, he too,
pulled away and drove slowly home,
praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.



Life is precious.
Handle with care.
This is an important message;
please pass it along to your friends.
Drive safely and carefully.
Remember, cars are not the only things
recalled by their maker

fuck it, I'm sick of arguments nevermind

[95formula383lt1]

damn popo, that really makes u think about the way you drive good post.

[popo8]

Oh I forgot.. cops never speed ANYWHERE.

I see more cops breaking traffic regulations than I see other drivers. Maybe they should actually stop for red lights and not roll through with their lights on and turn them off when they're through the intersections.


Again someone who speaks without understanding..

when I go flying to a house where I can beat the ambulance there because someone is having a heart attack or if someone is breaking in a house , or if someone is getting beat up, I dont always want the "bad guy" to hear me comming, or necessarily need to wake up the entire neighborhood (depending on the situation)

However to avoid an unecessary crash, I flip the lights on or blip the siren to get though an intersection then kill them to continue incognito.....


but then again, because a cop turns the lights on then runs a red then turns em off, MUST mean we just were to impatient to wait for the green... IGNORANCE!!!

[popo8]

When I've seen this happen multiple times and the cop is just cruising the whole time next to me but gets to a red light and is too lazy to wait and then just continues on cruising.

Not rushing to get anywhere obviously or they would clearly be going much quicker to respond.

I consistently watch cops going 20 over what I'm going on the highway without lights or sirens to go where? Sometimes emergencies but if so lights should be ON when they are rushing past traffic so that people know to get out of the way if it's such an emergency.

I have police in my family and am hardly ignorant to what they do. It is you that is ignorant thinking that cops are always in the right.

[95formula383lt1]

geeze i didnt mean for this thread to cause an arguement sorry i was just posting i had a good experience with a cop around here for once.

[popo8]

Cops are human just as anyone else, and again by no means do I defend everyones actions.....

I am just clearly stating from my experience (which is all I can) whats going on... and just because we are not going "MUCH FASTER" does not mean we are not en-route somewhere....

Until you do what we do.... you cant say that you know what was in the cops head. You yourself are trying to become an attoney correct??? so we both know that

"...cop is just cruising the whole time next to me but gets to a red light and is too lazy to wait and then just continues on cruising." Is not proper... how can you say WHY the cop did what he/she did in this situation....

[popo8]

Because we rolled up to the next light and they decided they would actually wait for that red light because there was a car in front of them this time so they couldn't just go right through it.

Therefore the cop purposely abused his discretion going through the first red light for no purpose whatsoever

[popo8]

Or maybe another officer rsponded on location to where that officer was going and his assistance was not needed.

maye another officer was not answering their status reports while on a call and this officer decided to step it up.... however between the 2 lights the officer who was not responding gave the "ok" respnse....

again I can prob come up with 100 different reasons, and that is actually why I say neither you nor i can say WHY that officer did what they did as you were trying to do....

[5POINT7]

good story popo, as for the cop that went threw the light, maybe he was being lazy or maybe he had a call, and then it was cancelled. Did you bother to ask him why he did that???

[bluebird94]

It is you that is ignorant thinking that cops are always in the right.

x2.

[Z28pr0jekt]

Alright alright I gotta say stop.

I can admit when I'm wrong and say that no I don't know for sure what the cop was doing but I have seen the exact thing happen multiple times but regardless, it is what it is.

No more bickering. Some have had good experiences, some bad, and some both.

Guys, it comes down to this... if you have a sweet ride, a cop WILL be jeolous and pull you over, that is, if you do him the favor of stopping. Not only that, but radar CANNOT pick up a car with a sweet shine so never accept a ticket, just rev your motor to about 6000rpm and say "What do ya think about that, huh?"

Do they keep their in dash cams on all of the time? Reason being, I was traveling down IH-35 on Labor Day weekend, I knew the DPS would be heavy so I set my cruise to 72 mph, this is on my Toyota 4-Runner. I see a DPS up on a hillside and at that time a Honda SUV with the exact same color as mine passes me. The traffic was heavy and I could see the Troopers lights on way behind me so I say to myself He's going after that Honda. It took a little while with him trying to get by traffic, he starts to pass me up then does a double take at me, slows down, gets behind me and pulls me over. He says he clocked me at 88mph. I tell him he got the wrong car, and that it was a HONDA Suv not me, I told him Look at your dash cam, He says in great quote "Tell it to the Judge". I call the courthourse explaining what happened, I get told that "They" do not have access to the Troopers videos?? WTF, Of course to their discretion. Anyway I had to pay the fine, they wouldnt listen. I was Frickin pissed, I mean if you speed, get caught, pay, But in my case I got the shaft...I tried to rev my Toyota to 6000 RPM's, but that didn't work...

That absolutly blows.... I can tell you several times I had gone after a car, and by the time I catch it (our imps are slow) I get confused as to which vehicle I wanted... of course by then everyone is going the speed limit... so.... I just do a U-turn and set back up.....

As for the tell it to the judge comment... it made me giggle, cuz PONCH used to say that on Chips, and hes my idol... lol

And as for the cameras, if functioning properly they are triggered by many different ways to begin the recording process.... however they are programed to save the record prior to the activation...... example, ours are set for 90 sec prior... so if u speed, and I chase you down and activate my lights, it begins to record then.... HOWEVER it saved 90sec prior to me activating the lights.... Modern technology has created some wonderful things....

In the future if you want the camera records for a case, subpoena them from the police department, the judges office realy does not have access to our "tapes"
