I got pulled over for the nonfunctional mid light reflector that comes on all 2G's because it didn't light up like it's NOT supposed to... I think it was BS although some people tried to justify it, I guess I was just frustrated but the cop was STILL wrong.

Was driving my 93 mustang gt out in Apex NC at 2:00 am with 3 drunks, I was the dd. I saw the cop at a T-intersection and quickly checked my speed. I was doing 45mph in a 45 zone and the cop pulled out right behind me anyway. We were the only 2 cars on the road so maybe he was bored. He flipped the blue lights on about 300 yards before I was going to turn to take my girlfriend home so I just pulled over when I got in her development. Now it was a warm summer night so I had both of the windows down anyway and when the cop approached the car I asked "Why did you pull me over?".

"You were going a little too fast back there" he said. I promptly denied it and gave him my liscense and registration. he then said " I saw you cross the center line several times also" Again I denied that and he started walking back to his car. As the officer made it to the front of his car I let out the loudest fart and the three dunks in the car with me started laughing loudly. Obviously the officer only heard the laughing and ran back to my window and asked me what was so funny.

I ended up getting a ticket for a turn signal that wasn't "orange" enough. That's what I get for insulting an officer of the law by ?'ing an unwarranted stop.

First ticket I was doing like 23 over the limit or something, and the State Trooper raised it up to like 25 so I would get the next fine. It sucked because this was when I had the car for about 2 weeks and I just put my real plates on the car, not the temps, and they weren't even registered.

The stupid one was I got pulled over at like 2am coming back from the movies with my g/f and her friend. Cop was making a left turn, I passed by, he ends up doing a U-turn and rides me for awhile and then pulls me over. I was in an accident a couple months back, so the front bumper was primered and the plate was in the window. He said he pulled me over for missing front plate (I said I thought it was ok in the window and I was waiting on the support tom come in the mail), modded exhaust, air freshener hanging from the mirror, and something else but can't remember. He comes back after writing it all up and says that it would be over $800 in fines and a court date, but he let me off with a warning. Stupid shit.

Oh, and the best way to get out of a ticket is to have a burning hot freshly made pizza in the front seat so when they walk up they can smell it and they'll let you go. haha.

I also once got pulled over for "Making a turn that was typicly indicative of a drunk driver". Officer was bored for sure cause she started picking my car apart looking for an excuse to give me a ticket.

Got pulled another time, in the rain I took off at the light and when the front tires hit the white stripe they started to spin for a SECOND. Of course there was a cop right behind me so I got pulled over for "exihibition of acceleration/demonstration of speed". I called BS and told him his tires probably did the same thing, so then he searched my car for drugs/weapons not sure which. I asked him if he found what he was looking for and he got pissed and let me go. I love cops

Right before I got my gst everyone at work had a betting pool set up for how long it was going to be before I got a ticket. Funny part... the morning of, going to work to buy the car I got pulled over for 45 in a 35 driving a 1993 plymouth sundance. The only reason I got the ticket, the officer said, was that it was too foggy and dark outside. darn it

 

[mmmmbst]

Let me clarify on by getting pulled over for something "crazy" is not the same as getting caught for doing something clearly illegal and dangerous.

Let me clarify on by getting pulled over for something "crazy" is not the same as getting caught for doing something clearly illegal and dangerous.

Yeah, really. There's maybe three things in here that are crazy.

However, I get rolled my senior year (8 years ago) for driving with my windows down in January. He thought I was airing out the car because he thought I was smoking weed. He searched my car, told me he could get my for not having a front plate. He let me go.

The reason I had my window down was because I had just made a new hip-hop CD and I was LOVING it. So I had to pimp it. Lol!

When I lived in Ripley, TN, I worked as a delivery driver for Pizza Hut, had a 1997 Civic EX, busted car, good on gas, for delivering pizza only. I had the nice big Pizza Hut sign on the car. Keep in mind this is a small town, there is only 1 driver on at a time, but it still is hectic for one guy. I had a delivery, to all places, the police station. It was about a 10 minute ride out, but I was behind on deliveries so I was late already, but the pizza was still piping hot.

I get there and deliver the 5 large pizzas and they give me a 5 cent tip...wow. Ok hey, whatever. Driving back to Pizza Hut, I get pulled over for "speeding," I probably was going a little quick, but come on I am obviously delivering pizzas, they know my livelihood is based on how many deliveries and tips I make. I get largely ignored by them before.

The cop comes up to my window: "What are you up to this evening?" I look at him like he has 10 heads. He goes "Speak up boy, answer me." I said "I am sorry, I just didn't think you were seriously asking such a stupid question." He goes "Are you calling me stupid son?" - "No officer, just the question, as I am obviously delivering pizzas, one order of which was just dropped off to you for dinner."

Long story short, I mouth off a bit, insult the dude's intelligence, and somehow get a ticket for my delivery sign being poorly lit. I tell you what though, I wonder if they enjoyed their extra gooey pizzas next time.

I was driving through town and I approached a stop sign that I know the cops love to watch. I see them there, waiting, every day, for someone to roll that stop sign. In fact, my girlfriend has even been ticketed in that very spot for that very reason.

So every time I approach that stop I do the prudent thing. Make sure my stops are textbook, every time. And yeah, that even includes stopping BEFORE the line. I clearly remember my driving lessons. Anyways, sure enough, there was a cop waiting for people at this stop. I stopped, perfectly, waited for the 2 pedestrians to pass the half-way mark and carried on my way, as always. But this time was different because now there are flashing red and blue lights behind me.

I pulled over and when the officer arrived at my window he stated " So, you didn't feel like stopping at that stop sign today..". I replied "What stop sign?". He simply pointed behind us. I told him that I didn't understand because I had made a complete stop at that sign, and if I had blown through it I would have pedestrian all over my hood. He claims he saw me do it.

I insist that I made a complete stop and that from where he was parked he might not have been able to see me make the perfect stop that I did (read: stopped before the line). I further informed him that my girlfriend has been ticketed in this exact spot and I make a point of making good stops at this location, especially since I know you guys watch it for hours every day.

He walked around my car and said "OK, I believe you. Since you said your girlfriend has been pulled over here before. Have a good day".

I was just leaving town. I hopped onto the on-ramp and quickly found myself pulled over not 2 minutes out of town. The CHP officer asked me if I knew why he pulled me over. I said " No, sir". He told me it was because I didn't have my front plate on so I quickly dug it out of the back seat and showed him that I did at least have it with me. He couldn't have cared less. He even said yeah the car looks nicer without it. But now he starts questioning me.
He asks if I'm on parole and if I failed to meet with my parole officer. I told him no, I'm not on parole. He asked me if I was sure. I told him yes and he was like OK, have a good day. Didn't even look at my license.

As I continue on my way I notice 4 more cruisers and maybe 3 more trucks all parked roughly a mile apart and certainly after every on-ramp heading south. It became obvious that they were looking for someone in particular.

I remember in my 98 GSX rolling up on a checkpoint out in Rural PA. Copy asks to see my license and registration. I hand him my license, go searching through my admittedly sloppy glove box for the insurance/registration envelope. Before I can locate it, he says, that's alright, you can go. They, too, were obviously looking to catch particular person.

Not two weeks later, I get stopped speeding on I-95 heading for Philly International Airport at 4 AM. I was really speeding, and deserved the ticket that the State Cop gave me. Search as I might, I could not find an up-to-date registration, although my insurance was current.

He gave me a ticket, I apologized, he said, "that's ok, just slow down."

I missed my plane and had to take a later flight.

When I got back, I checked to find that my registration was almost a year out of date. My guess is that he thought I might have been drinking or drugging at that hour, and did not pursue the registration business when he saw that my speeding was just because I was trying to catch a plane.

The only crazy part of the stop was on me. I was really speeding, and my registration really was expired.

I was getting gas one day at the corner right up the street from my old highschool, so I was heading to the univ. and the straightest fastest way was passing my old highschool, so there was a cop car in the round-a-bout area with all these kids standing outside smoking and i was driving along and then a couple seagulls came into the middle of the road and went to pick up some food so I thought they were gonna fly off by the time I got close to them but they just stayed so I had to slam on my brakes and I guess the cop didnt see the shit hawks in front of my car and thought I just caught the cop in the corner of my eye so I was slamming on the brakes because I was speeding... haha... So he came whizzing behind me and pulled me over, and gave me the whole speal of how fast i was going.. Then I told him I was not speeding, so then he goes asks me why I was driving by the school, I told him, and tells me I was driving by to check out the "hunnies" outside... All I said was... Uhh Im pretty sure they are probably 15-17 years old... Then he was like oh I use to be young I know how you think... And kept going telling me all this retarded stuff, about how I could have went that way instead of this way, I was like well because this is right connected to the gas station, etc etc... Well I didnt end up getting a ticket, but He was with me for like well over 5 min talking to me, just thought it was funny the way he was talking to me about what he knew I was doing.....

i got pull over for having a fast car the cop loved dsm's he end it up talking my ear off for 15 minutes

 

[kanderson]

Got a ticket for doing 22 in a parking lot, in second gear. Clearly they had nothing better to do because there were three cars ahead of me in line, waiting to get their tickets as well. And why I was waiting they pulled over a skate boarder for speeding as well.

Also got pulled over for running a yellow light. The crazy part was that I was waiting to turn left at a red light, watched a cop make a turn into the road across from me, then when mine turned green I went. It was a long intersection and by the time I made my turn the light had turned yellow, so he whipped a u turn and pulled me over. Didn't get a ticket, but he tried!

I know cops are supposed to be there for our safety, but sometimes they really peeve me

Years ago when I still had my 96 GS-T (right after the fast & the furious hit theaters) the only thing I had done was a hacked BOV dump tube, a filter adapter and a K&N which made my turbo and bypass valve a little more audible. I was going home one night and an unmarked lumina that just pulled out of a parking lot by a traffic light that I was leaving lit me up. I immediately pulled over and knowing I didn't do anything wrong I asked "What's the problem officer?" to which she replied " It sounded like you were trying to get someone's attention with your nos, well you got mine!" I told her that I didn't have NITROUS and she asked what the "hissing" noise my car was making when I left the light was. I realized she was talking about my turbo and explained that it was my turbo that she heard and that it was from the factory. She said "Well get it fixed!" I said "There's nothing wrong with it, all turbo's make that noise, most even louder." All she had to say after that was "Well . . . I'll let you off this time but next time you can explain it to the judge!"

 

[Burnett03]

I've been ticketed once for "dirty license plate lights" Yes, read that again, dirty. Reason they were dirty? I live in CO and it was snowing that day. I also got pulled over in Denver once because my license plate lights weren't bright enough.

I knew trying to leave this open just wasn't going to work out.
