OT: most annoying police pull-over

[HtownGT]

it was about 3am in a nice part of town in Houston and I'm the only car on the road, so of course I'm going like 5mph over the speed limit and then my radar goes crazy so i slow down. so out comes a car and follows me for like 2.5 miles, then when I'm turning under an overpass to get on teh freeway he turns on his lights and i pull over.

well i get everything ready licenese/registration/ take the radar down/ roll down my windows bc my tint was illegal at the time and shut off my car as fast as i can bc the exhaust isnt leagal and u can smell the gas coming from it. well he takes me info back to his car and then comes back to tell me that he is pulling me over bc i brandished a firearm out the window.

so he asks me to step out and pats me down against my car. well at this point another cruiser and a polive suv pull up so there is a total of 4 cops there for me. he tells me that i am not under arrest but i need to get into the back of his car and that he is going to search it. so im like sure, bc i didnt do anyhting wrong. so of course i cant fit into the back of the car bc im 6'4 and ive got boots on. so im sitting back there laughing bc i thought it was funny and im listening to the radio and what they are saying. and then i look at his computer and see that he entered my licenese plate wrong. so i figure that is why im in the back of the car.

well about 15 minutes later the cop lets me out and asks me to explain a few things in my car tha the found. like a homemade cheeter bar that i used earlier that day when i was putting in my pullies, a knife i had even though it was legal. he tells me i cant have the bar bc its illegal to carry a blunt object in the car even though i can have a knife, doesnt make much sense to me. so i ask if he wants to take it and dispose of the bar and he is like no thats ok. well i take the bar and open my trunk and put it in there. the cop jumps at the opportunity to search my trunk real quick. well then he tells me that the reason he pulled me over was bc of my licenese plate cover and bc it was dirty, so they didnt know if i was street racing or what. and he says that they are going to be illegal in a month so i should take it off.

well when i get back inot ym car to leave i notice that he tore up my interior and my center console contents were all over my car and he broke the small oval side vent off. so i was a little ticked at this. but there isnt much i can do. so i wait as long as i can b4 i start my car bc i didnt want to get a ticekt for illegal exhaust. so i start it up as fast as i can and leave the street really slow so it stays quiet. then one of the cruisers follws me for like 7 miles until i get onto another freeway.

first and only time i have been in the back of a cruiser, hopefully the last bc those things arent comfortable.

i hate cops...

me and my friend are driving down the road, i'm leading(in my red mustang, barely any mods) and he's following in a '02 orange z28. the speed limit is 55, were doing tops 60. it drops to 35 cause of three houses in the middle of fields. so freakin stupid. i see the sign for 35, let off the gas and just kinda coast it out. the nex thing i know, there is this car with their high beams on behind my friend and he's riding his ass. the lights come on. he pulls both of us over.

he's practically screaming at me cause he thinks were are street racing. i'm like, i've never been pulled over before, i've never had any problems with cops before, so i'm being as polite as possible to this jack@ss. he talks to each of us seperate, we both told him that we were on our way to a cruise night thing. he's still saying that we were street racing and he's gonna impound our cars.

long story short, my friend who has been pulled over twice before that, recieved a warning and speeding ticket, got away with a ticket for doing ten over the speed limit(45 in a 35). I got the shaft. clean record before this. the guy gives me a street racing charge and speeding ticket for doing 70 in a 35. it was total BS. how could a car doing only 45 be right behind me doing 70?? i got my license revoked for 6 months because of that crap. drove anyway, but i don't recomend it.

did you fight that? any judge with common sense would have dismissed that.

Way late on this post but I wanna hear some of these stories

I'm at work, but I'll give you one more laugh. Back in HS I had a kickin' little White 89 S-10 with black grille bumpers and headlight covers. Always seemed to attrack attention, but I thought it needed more.... so I put a dual set of Knight Rider lights on the air dam.

Red flashing lights on the front of a vehicle... definately got some attention.

A buddy and I went crusin' in Monett, MO. And it was the first time I've ever cussed out a cop. I knew why I was getting pulled over. A cop pulled in behind us, hit the cherries and I pulled over. Before that cop could get out of his car another patrol car with MR. BADASS came flying out of no where and slide his car in front of us to box us in. In the process he showered my truck with rocks. Jumped out of his car and came running, not walking, up to the car yelling at me to get my license, registration and insurance out.

Seeing the rocks on my hood. I got quick. I yelled back at him. Did I just rob a fuaking bank? Did I just fuaking kill someone? No I have stupid fuaking lights on my car. Right?

The guy started in on me. Then the first cop came up and TOLD the other cop to go sit in his patrol car. He would take care of it. The other guy was older and while he was noticable mad that I cussed out his partner (probably cause he would have to listen to him all night) we had a sensible conversation about the laws and stuff. He asked if I had the lights permanently wired into the headlights. I told him no. They have their own switch. He wanted to confirm this or I was getting a ticket. He acted like I was lying about a switch. So I proceeded to reach down to the fuse box and yank the wire out that I hooked up for the lights. I actually handed it to him. Still concected in the truck.

He let me go with written warning. IMPERSONATING AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE!

During this whole episode an old nova pulled up at the gas station where we were pulled over. They pulled right up next to our window, WHILE we were pulled over, and the two teens were yelling how cops suck and how stupid they are. Then the proceeded to spin their tires and take off. Neither cop moved. Obviously lights were more important then careless driving.

BTW my buddy and I went to Taco Bell hooked our lights back up and drove through town with them on again. Then drove all the way back home with them on. We were so dumb. :7

There, there's one more for you. I'll post about out running the city taxi sometime. He tried to "pull us over" til the cops got there for doing donuts in a closed icy parking lot.

I have a TON but I will just highlight the most interesting one.
Me and my girlfriend at the time were on a road trip in my cobra to Washington DC and were drivin thru some backwards ass town in Virginia at about 2am looking for a hotel for the night. I pull into a parking lot of some shopping center to look at the map as we had directions to a hotel in the area. As I pulled into the parking lot, a cop was leaving and I saw him stare at me thru his window like my head was on fire. I think "ok...wtf" and drive into the parking lot. I see the cop do a 180 in the street and fly into the parking lot behind me. He gets out, hand on his gun and orders me to get out of the car and put my hands on the hood. He said I was suspected of street racing... Apparently earlier that night there was a race and a car got away from the cops. So while I wait spread out on the hood, 2 other cruisers pull up. By this time my g/f is freakin out and crying. After about 15 mins of talking to the cop, one of the cops from another cruiser comes up and takes the officer aside. They say "We're sorry sir, but apparently this is not the car we were looking for." So I am pissed at this point and demand to know why they thought it was me. Thay say because it was a red sports car. I wanted to know what kind of car it really was and they said it was a red camaro...WTF. So after I get my g/f calmed down we go on our way. I must add that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the state of Virginia. I go to school at Virginia Tech (I'm from near Pittsburgh (Wheeling, WV) and I've had nothing but problems with law enforcement in this state.

I got one. A few, well more than few years back, I was on my way home. I worked for a hospital at the time. Seven days a week twelve hour days It was seven on and seven off work schedule. I get home on my last day of work and I am beat I am so tired I am at that point were everything bothers you. Anyway I get home and a friend calls me and tells me to meet him in Nashville and I can crash at his place.

I just grab some clothes and head out. There is a checkpoint on the outskirts of town about six patrol cars. So as I pull up this grossly overweight deputy ask me how much I had to drink? Granted I looked like I been beat with a belt but that was due to work. I told him none but he didn't believe me so he told me to get out of the car now! He must had been the one drinking that night, I was in full whites, wearing a lab jacket, stethoscope around my neck with my employee badge from the HOSPITAL! It was in August so I wasn't going to a Halloween party.

By this time I am beyond mad. I asked does a drunk usually dress like this Barney? Oh he didn't like that at all and starts yelling at me. His supervisor or the sheriff comes over and takes one look at me and said sir you are free to go.

I didn't know they still allowed checkpoints anymore because of crap like this? At least that's what I thought since I haven't seen one since I was like 3 years old.

Still have checkpoints here.... as a matter of fact, my buddy and I went through one 3 times in a row at 3am. We were bored.

We had a story setup the first time. An officer came to each window and talked to each of us seperately.

"You boys been drinking any alcohol tonight?"

Do you think we would have driven through the checkpoint if we had?

"What do you mean?"

Well, we could see the flares and lights from a mile away, if we were guilty of anything we would have taken Rouse Rd right around you guys. It's only a block over.

"What are you boys doing out this late?"

Just got back from a late movie.

"Oh, yeah, what did you go see....."

(Damn didn't think that far into our little story. Running through movies in my head as was my buddy. Man this guy's being a Jack...) JACKASS! Yup, just got done watching JackAss The movie!

"interesting seems like everyone coming through here tonight just watched that."

We drove off yelling JACKASS, JACKASS......
