Got pulled over driving my friends Civic with catback:
Him: I'm righting you a citation for that exhaust
Me: What's the law on exhausts say?
Him: The law is you shouldn't hear a Civic going up the roadLOL
 
I was 16yrs old my car at the time was a 90 tauras SHO

COP: DL & Registration?
ME: what did you pull me over for officer?
COP: while I was behind you I ran your plate came up registered to a tauras
ME: yeah and?
COP: well this does not look like a tauras.
ME: >:0
ME: sir this is the SHO model it says tauras right on the trunk!
COP: oh.....
 
I'm sitting on the hood of my car in front of my building. I get up to go start the car to drive off and a cop pulls up next to me. He looks throws his sirens on swings in front of my car(mind you I'm parked). He screams out freeze so i stop an turn around. He asks if it's my car so I tel him yes, and he asks me to pop the hood. So i go and do what he asks. he looks around at the motor for like five minutes acting like he knows what he sees. Best part after he finish entertaining himself he looks at me points his flash light and says I have a stolen Honda motor in my 1gWTF:ohdamn:So long story short he puts me in cuffs until his supervisor comes who actually owns a Evo looks at the car and the motor then proceed to rip him a new a**hole :thumb:
 
Dumbest thing a cop has ever said to me? "What are you doing with these burglary tools?" He was holding a couple screwdrivers and a pair of slip jaw pliers. I explained that "I have a 12 year old car, am a college student, and have to do my own repairs. Which, naturally, happens as far away from home as possible and the tools don't do me much good at home." He then called for back-up and I had city and county cops tossing my car on the side of the road. Nothing to be found except some extra nuts, bolts, and the occasional screw and 10 very unhappy officers + 1 dog. I do NOT miss being in my early 20's to say the least. I've met some cool cops but sadly they seem to be the exception and not the rule.
 
i just thought of a silly story...

on our first trip to texas (my husband and i) to see his family. we are headed back home, and go to get on the interstate. well, my husband turned onto this little dirt patch right before the entrance to the interstate because it was dark. so he goes to back up and try again, when a police officer pulls in behind us lights flashing. so we're like, what the hell. not concerned about anything because we didn't do anything wrong, just made a mistake of where we were turning. so he gets out of his car and comes up to us. license and registration yadda yadda. then he asks us to get out of the car. asks us if we have any weapons in the car. i'm like "uhhh... i have a pocket knife?" and then he asks us about our lighters.. "we're both smokers sir." so he's shining his light in the car (the hubby's treasure '95 eclipse, n/t) and he see a baseball bat in the hatch. "what about this bat?" "we use that to hold the hatch open sir" "it's got tape around the handle, looks like a weapon" i'm thinking.. seriously? it's a weapon now because it has electrical tape on the handle? anyway.. we end up leaving, no ticket, no warnings... i'm sure we finally convinced him that we weren't criminals with our hatch holder :p silly cop stories...

btw... i have nothing but respect for cops. they turn on their lights, i'm pulling over i don't care what their reasoning is. my record is super squeaky clean and i plan to keep it that way :D
 
last summer me and my wife were pulled over in our 73 vette by a ny state trooper. she was really nice but came up and asked if we wanted to die because we werent wearing our seat belts and this thing is too old to have airbags. my wife points at the lap belt and says these seat belts?

the trooper must have stood there for like 3 minutes before she walked away
 
hell of a thread BW... So damn many to choose from...

I was parked in my 96 TSI w/ my now ex fiance`in Orlando on President's drive off International BLVD where all the MMI guys go and race/stunt on their bikes. A couple of my frat brother's where there doing their stoppies and burnout, then the cops show up... Typical break out scene. Chaos and havoc... Excessive acceleration and speeding of course...

There are like 20 cars at the little meet, and ALOT of bikes... We successfully break out and get on the interstate... What do ya know... They brought the damn helicopter too. There were 2 cars following me (300tt and a older vette), and the heli is right on top of us... during all this, I'm on the walkie talkie talking to my frat brothers telling them there is a heli following us and them, and I'm telling him I'm on the interstate heading back to the east side... Then two statey's pop out of nowhere and pull me and the other two cars over. one in front of me (I was in the lead) and one behind the Vette

DL and reg...
c; know why I pulled you guys over
m: trying to make the monthly quotta...
c; wrong. attending an unlawful gathering of 50 or more w/o notifying opd or Orange county and doing 120 in a 65...
my girl: what do you mean
c: copper had you covered while you were sitting in you lawn chairs watchin the illegal bike show...
m: shit...
c: sit tight, and he gave me my liscense and reg and proof of insurance back...

I like WTF? Why am i not being arrested and all that...

I'm back on the phone telling my brother's we are pulled over about 4 miles from 417 toll road on I-4 and telling him all that happened... Anyways, the cop is making his way up to my car again. He gets to the bumper and three crotch rockets fly by in the lane closest to the shoulder where we're pulled over... It scares the shit outta me and my girl, and I know the cop was freaking out. Anyways, he runs back to car and rides out with the other statey... the other two cars and myself head home... I haven't heard from any of my frat brother's, and thats a big nono. You don't leave your brother behind or stranded... About 10 mins later, I finally get one of my brother's on the walkie talkie and tells me he's in a parking garage and wants me to pick him up since the heli is still circling around downtown...

meet up w/ him at the garage and park so we can cool off at the bar... He asks me how fast I think they were going... Hell, I barely even saw the headlights... about 170-180? He said, " I stopped looking at the speedometer after 160... he had a yamaha 1000,

About 30-45 minutes later my other frat brother w/ the turbo'd busa comes to the bar and have a few cold ones and proceed to tell me he was topped out in 6th gear when he saw us on the side... Thats well over 200mph... Thank god he's crazy as shit. After a full night of drinking, we get my girl's friend w/ a Denali xlt to come get us b/c we're all too wasted to drive...

After class the next day, I go to pick up my car... Not there... After spending the rest of the day looking for the car, i goto the attendent at the garage and tell him I need to see the CC video of the floor where we all parked. He told me that a cop came around 9am that mourning w/ tow trucks and towed us for fleeing the scene, and its at the city impound along with my frat brother's bikes, a couple other bikes and the 300tt that was pulled over w/ us. I don't know the story beind the 300.

So I get to the car, and there is a ticket/court summons on my dash. it was like a $500 fine, but the ticket said it was for illegal parking. $200 later, I get the car out and I head back to Greek Row. My brother then tells me they reported the bike's stolen earlier that day.

The court day comes up about a month later. I see the state trooper and he asks me where my friends are... I'm like wha? You buddy in the 300 and the vette. I told him I didn't know them.

So I get called up to so I can be told what charges I'm facing blah blah... I plead not guilty because I was young and was told by a pre-law frat bro, that I was illegally served this citation. Why not. Worst case senario i pay an extra $200 for court costs.

Well, I get another court date about 2 weeks later. I'm called to stand, and Judge asks me again if I understand why I'm here. I told him I did. He then asks me how this went down. I told him we were coming from Universal Studios, which is where we were before we went to watch the bikes. He asked if I had any ticket stubs to prove this. I showed him my credit card statement... He then asks why I was parked at the garage where the bikes were also parked. I told him I have a brand new paint job and some toys in the car, and don't want to risk parking on the street. He asks me for the parking garage ticket. I show him and he tells me to be seated.

The judge calls the trooper up and asks why was I not given a ticket or told anything before he left. The statey tells him b/c of the extreme circumstances he had no time to do so.

Long story short, the judge sided w/ me because the statey left the scene w/o telling us anything, and the heli tape was not focused on us, but some other cars that were further behind us... Whew. The ticket in which I had on my dash was from the city of Orlando. Not the state of FL... He tells the Statey that , in Orange county, it is unlawful to have another officer whom was not involved in this incident, to deliver a citation for another law enforcement agency. Also the patrol cars only had video of the vette's tag number. I was let go free of any charges and given my $200 for illegal impounding. Before I leave, the judge asks how fast does he think the bikes that passed were going. He finally said well over 150... Then the judge asked if he pursued... He replied he did. The judge tells him that he is in violation of Florida state law for pursuing these bikes.

As soon as I leave the courtroom, a lawyer comes up to me and tells me that I can sue the city for defimation of character and all this other bullshit... I'm thinking to myself, if you only knew what really happened, you'd be talking to the statey...

I actually was pulled over by the same statey a few months later... but I wasn't driving. I don't even know if he recignized me... I've got like 3 more of these that are just as epic... but I'll save em for when I'm sitting on my ass at work and not at the bar...


PHI KAPPA BITCHES
 
"your muffler is not muffling..it's preschool, if i can hear it, its TOO LOUD"
and "its NOT street legal..theyll tell you anything on those websites. get it fixed or thats another $250 dollar ticket"

blow me.
 
I recently got pulled over doing 106 in a 65. And the cop asked me
"How's this thing do on gas?....other than when you are driving like that"
haha it made me laugh even though I was ready to cry :banghead:
 
This is all pretty entertaining LOL I'm lucky enough to live in a small town where I'm not harassed about mods and all that but one time a cop pulled me over cause he thought I was speeding and wrote a ticket for "doing over 20" in a 25 LOL the judge asked if he was serious and told me I could go

This is great! Mostly because my town is full of those :tease: stupid honda kids that only have a fart pipe and a cold air intake. It's pretty bad when you sound like you're going 60 but you're actually going 10.:ohdamn:
 
1 of many, its a good one though!!!!! On my way home from a buddys after school, I take the back roads,( since being pulled over every thursday by this cop sitting at trap and always giving me exhaust and tint tickets, that i would 100% of the time get dropped I just didnt feel like goign to court all the time), but I wanted to get a drink so I stopped at a gas station, and of course there was a piggy wiggy. I had recently installed new PIAA headlight bulbs that I thought were white but turned out to be a greenish color that very much resembled the color of my car so I kept them anyways. As i pull into my driveway a cop puts his lights on and blocks my driveway.I get out of the car and he tells me to get back in. My dad then comes out to ask what is going on, and he calls for back up and pulls his gun. Shortly after that 4 marked cop cars and an undercover sargeant pull up all lights on, mind you its midnight so now all my neighbors are out. When asking why he pulled me over he said " you have illegal headlights". Two weeks previous I got pulled over, by a fellow cop of this guy, and he told me they were perfectly fine. The cop then makes it seem like im on drugs and shouldnt be driving but Im allready HOME!! He makes me do pointless tests only to let me walk inside feeling like a fugitive after I made him feel like a moron
 
3rd drive in my gst 4 years ago got pulled over for loud exhaust. car was 100% stock then he walked over to the front of the car shined his flashlight and said you dont have a front license plate. i had my temp plate and doest come with a front one. lastly he walks to the back of the car and says your bottom lights are out. i think to myself bottom lights? asked him my license plate lights? he said no the bottom ones! i said my reverse lights? he said no those are in my taillights the bottom ones. i then told him the "bottom lights" are my reverse lights this car has them separate from the taillights. at the end of all this he gave me a warning for talking back and having the un named "bottom lights" out

I hate when they argue when they "Think" they know, when in reality theyre wrong! :ohdamn:
 
Yeah I know, Next time I get that stupid cop I am gonna ask him to see some sort of certification that shows he knows more about the vehicle than I do when I have 4 of them in my shop and have been working on them for 5 years.....

Bottom lights rofl...
 
Cop pulled me over for "taking corners too fast" in my '95 GST when I was 17. No laws broken, stayed cool and no tickets.
 
Kind of a funny story. I got a ticket for reckless op for doing donuts like when i was 16 or 17 in a parking lot in the winter but the ticket had to get dropped since i took it to court and the officer (officer Lopez) who gave me the ticket got fired from the PD for tipping off a local mexican restaurant about an illegal immigrant sting.
 
Got pulled over for doing 6 over on the freeway. After the cop eye humped my car, and asked 100 questions that seemed like he was admiring the car, he stated : "We have a problem with street racing in this area. This looks like a car that would street race."

Then, I got my ticket. Only speeding ticket of my life, for 6 over. I was pissed.
 
Try Washington state. They have a zero over policy in effect now. They can and WILL pull you over for 3mp over the limit. Plus the farging iceholes use unmarked minivans. Minivans. How'd you like to get pulled over and issued a ticket for 63 in a 60 by a minivan?
 
One time I got pulled for modified exhaust right in front of my house, and a girl chp just let's me have it. She starts writing me for my exhaust,cracked window, and window tint. The funny thing was my Windows were completely down. As soon as she hands me the ticket, I rolled up my non tinted Windows and laughed at her. Woops better get some glasses.
