I think you're doing it wrong lol

How does that happen!!!??? I witnessed my wife get out of a speeding ticket in her car...she cried and gave this heartfelt story about how we are racing to tell her parents we are engaged, which was like 2 years prior i proposed lol.

maybe a little luck mixed with charm and knowing how to talk to cops.

for the 2 times I went to court for speeding I represented myself and won both

It's amazing how far you get talking to them respectfully like normal people and going out of their way to make them feel more comfortable goes.

oh yea. my father is friends with many cops through his job so I grew up around them and knowing the best ways to approach situations with them.

I will say I had not one but two times a while back that was iffy though because I was being funny lol some cops don't have great senses of humor.

but both ended up being just fine. I go with less jokes until I feel out if they are the uptight cop or the normal ones

Ding Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!

I've been completely in the wrong going nearly 20 mph over and gotten only a warning after a very pleasant conversation with the officer. Another time, the guy gave me a warning after I argued very politely that while I did, in fact, redline 1st and 2nd gear, I did not exceed the speed limit

that's because your car is slow

At least it's not an AT

Actually I was very proud of that particular 1-2 shift. Too bad the officer wasn't really interested

haha well done.

yea my big stops in the Z I was fortunate they were car guys. the 93 in 55 the guy saw the chalk numbers on the window and was asking about what my ET and trap was. I knew at this point I was golden. end of the conversation he looked at his watch and said "pens game is almost on. get home quick so you don't miss any"

I think my best story was I was going 94 in a 65 on my way to Vegas. I guess a plane clocked me. When that happens they radio down to a patrol car like 10 miles down the road to wait for you. Office comes up to my passenger window and my smart *** friend was with me, Cops asks, "you know why i pulled you over?" smart *** friend decides to quote Liar Liar and says, "depends how long you were following us" lol. Cop thought it was funny then began explain how i got clocked.

Showed up to court with only a hope and a prayer as my defense. In this situation the officer in the plane AND the Hwy Patrol officer need to be there together. Only the plane cop was....case dismissed... BOOM!

Good times... lol
