I got pulled over for going straight on a right turn lane even though there was more than enough space up ahead for an extra lane so i won't side-swipe anyone...but the a$$hole cop still gave me a ticket anyway.

what if i saw a yellow light, and i tried to break, but it wasn't enough distance left, so i floor it and ran a red light?

In California there is no mention of yellow traffic lights in the law. As long as you're into the intersection (across the line) before it turns red, you're ok.

New York State VTL 1111-B requires that caution be exercised on approach of a yellow traffic light. I've written many 1111-D's (red lights) but never a yellow. I guess if I saw someone floor it to intentionally avoid the yellow light, I'd probably write it.

I got pulled over on the college campus. The campus cop said I peeled out and was "zooming" across the parking lot. I tried to tell him I didn't peel out, I was in a (4 year old) Geo Metro with worn out tires on a parking lot with a lot of gravel on it, causing my tires to slip. He wasn't hearing that. He was saying I was trying to show off for my girlfriend, when the girl in the car was someone I knew from highschool and was giving her a ride to work, and I was already engaged to my wife at the time. So then he yells at me for not having my seatbelt on, and when I tried to explain that I had to loosen my belt to open the door (my window wouldn't roll down), he wouldn't even hear that. He eventually let me go without a ticket, but I should have went to the campus police and filed a complaint or something.

After a long night of playing hockey my buddy ran into Sevs while I stayed in the car. some stupid bitch soccer mom saw me resting against the driver door glass and though I was drunk. She must have taken down my plates.
When I got to my neighborhood I was swarmed upon by no fewer than 7 bored and lonely pigs with lights flashing and all. They pulled me out of my car and questioned me for 15 minutes while my neighbores drove by and looked out of their windows.
Even after these ****ing scumbags figured out there was a mistake and that they had embarrased me in front of all of my neighbors they still never apologised.

Thats why I need a .224 BOZ. It penetrates 1.5mm Titanium and 20 layers of Kevlar

i got a total of 19 speeding tickets now, thought the course of 3 years and 7 cars!! I only ever got points on my first ticket and my most recent one!! So i never lost my licence just paid around $4000 + to various municipalities.

My one before that got pulled over 105 in a 65 MHP zone, asked me why were you going so fast i said, my oil is leaking, my window is broken and duck taped, there is a crack in my exhaust and a couple guages dont work!! He said ok and said dont speed and let me go, im thinking to myself what i said to him wouldnt it be better to be driving slower then faster, o well it worked and it was ture.

ill keep it simple...
-I was on my way to school today and went thru a light that had just turned yellow
-cop pulls me over to my surprise
-he says"hey, i see you finally got ur seatbelt on" cause he saw me putting it on as when came to a stop
-i laughed and said yes, he laughed too then told me that i ran the red light
- i argued with him that it was orange and then he asked me for my license/reg
-comes back and says" ill give you a break on the red light, but since i cant just write you up for no seatbelt, ur third brake light is out in the back (only 1 of 2 bulbs were burnt out)
-i argue that i cant see my brakelights while driving but it doesnt work and i have a 70.00 ticket as of this morning
- i think the cop felt dumb cause he knew i didnt run the light but then had to get me for something since we were pulled over and already took my info

bullshit. cops are ghey

Lessee. I got pulled over for exhaust constantly in my old Z-24. It was stock - just loud.

Most recently, I got pulled over in my old beater (a 96 neon sedan) doing 92 in a 65. I told the cop I was trying to get some sleep between working two double shifts, and he gave me a ticket for 'failing do display license plate' instead. It was sitting in the window. Ah well. $55 well spent.

damn, this is a mad old thread ...........

anywayz....... i was traveling down the backroads in my '88 regal and a car in front of me was doing like 5-10 mph under the speed limit. So i was slowly swerving back and forth going over the lines acting like i was drunk. We made a left turn, i put my right turn signal on.....lol. Well, we get into town and i was driving normal, a cop always sits in the same spot in the school zone at the same time everyday when the elementary school lets out. So, the car turns onto the street where the cop sits and tells him. So, 1 min later the cop is pulling me over. He said that he had a report of me driving all over the road. I said, i have no idea.......i am just on my way to the fair. He asked if i was doing any drinking or drugs of any kind. I said no sir and he went and ran my license and came back and told me to have a nice day.

I got pulled over and searched for allegedly having purple license plate lights. They were white LED lights, pure white. The cops made me take apart my custom trunk right there on the road too.

I was stopped at a red light and a campus cop (at a school I didn't even go to)comes up in the lane beside me the light changes she changes lanes in the middle of the intersection and throws the lights on me we get to the parking lot its like noon and 98 degrees I had a ssm coupe with the black int. and she tells me to cut the car off while she checks my liscense and registration I try to open the door cause I'm hot she tells me to shut it. Turns out my tags had expired shich I knew that already and showed her the recipt where I had ordered new ones off the internet so she gives me a warning and makes me come back to the little campus cop hut when I get my tags cause in NC well greensboro anyway if you don't do the capus ticks then they turn those over to the city. UNCG Sucks Wasted twenty five thirty mins of my day and then made me come back for another twenty five thirty when all I was doing was sitting at a light.

I know I have another one or two illegal blue lights ones.
There was one where I was going the EXACT speed limit, got pulled at about 1 am w/both kids passed out in carseats. I asked about 10 times what I did wrong, and he wouldnt tell me. Eventually, "you have a license plate light out." I was like, WHAT, let me go see. He said "No, you have to stay in your car." I fought staying in my car for a while. I finally said whatever, he comes back with no ticket. I pulled you over because you were in a high narcotics area. Which is also the road back from San Diego to Phoenix. Stupid Cop.

I have no blue lights anywhere in or out my car other than indiglo guages.
I also have only 1 point on my driving.

You can see that a lot of cops in AZ have nothing better to do than mess w/you

I got pulled over for avoiding a U-turn sign by turning into an apartment and making a u-turn there. I didn't get out of that one and was stuck at traffic survival school for 8 hours. Everyone at that school got a DUI except for me. What a waste of a day.

license plates have special paint so you can see it easier ...go get some matte paint since this cop told you to paint it

Time for My Story...

So I'm driving around in my 98 Camaro SS when a cop rolls me. This is while I'm sitting in traffic... i.e. not moving at all. So he tells me that he noticed my parking lights were on and that it's illegal to drive around with just the ambers on. I then inform him that all Camaros come from the factory like that because those are the daytime running lights. His response was that just because it comes from the factory that way doesn't make it legal and if I didn't disconnect them he'd write me a ticket the next time he saw it.

... and people wonder where stereotypes come from.

You're African-American aren't you? I don't mean to be racist, but my best friend is African-American and he could write a book about all the b.s. reasons he's been pulled over. It's especially f*cked up when our whole crew would be rollin' out and cops would cut other cars in the line off just to pull him over. Isn't it reassuring to know that the people put in charge of protecting us are the same ones who still believe that not all men are created equal. F*ck 'um.
