nope no peel out I didnt want to push my already good fortune, and as for the prelude i knew if i found him i would most likely find the cop that pulled me over and that would be just asking for a ticket, so i kindly took my behind home. :)

Officer# Yes you were, any reason why?
birdman# Well, I was trying to run away from hurricane Irene and grab some provisions.
Officer looking amuzed# Well you know it won't get here till tomorrow and that you are way too early ... Wait here!

Final tally, repair order for front tint, get front plate installed ... saving close to 1k worth of fines. This had to be without any doubt the nicest officer I've dealt with, ever. Do you care sharing any instance when you somehow got away from an imminent ticket/fine and pulled it off? Please fine gents & ladies, do so with respect of law and enforcement :tup:

How fast were you going!? A tint ticket where I live is = to about 15 over in cost.

My best story?

I was tail-gating someone. I then whipped in front of this old guy in a dark-blue crown vic as soon as I could, and floored it. I stopped and cruised at 20 over when I noticed the old guy up on my ***. I gave it a bit more gas. Then his whole car lit up. Undercover. FAIL.

So I am thinking OSHIT! and slam on the brakes. He almost rear-ends me as those crown-vics don't stop so fast. OSHIT again.

I finally pull over on the side of the road and tally up my sins. Tail-gating. 20+ over. Cutting the officer off. Brake-checking the officer. Maybe even "reckless" driving.

He gets out and yells for me to do the same. Then to get against the retaining wall. I refuse by not moving from my place behind the car. He tells me to step back from traffic. I do. He asks for DL. I go back to the car to get it. I present it to him. He asks me WTF!? I tell him the truth. I'm late for class, my roommate picked TODAY to take a 30 minute shower in our ONE bathroom, and if I don't get to class, it can cost us a letter-grade. He asked where I went to school and supplied a "is it *** institution?" I said "No, it's ****". A few seconds later I realized he suggested an institution in the opposite direction I was headed and was glad I was just being honest or he might have got me.

He smiled, handed me my DL, and said "I know how it is to be late. Don't kill yourself." and walked back to his cruiser. I got the hell out of there and slid into my seat 30 seconds before my name was called on the roster.

_____________

I have also had an officer lie about how fast I was going (over 30 over, he called it 29, and I know he was BS'ing). He also ignored my lack of current inspection sticker, and the hot blonde in the BMW 335i very close behind me when I was radar'ed.

I did not argue with him over the 29 over. It cost me a driving class and $165.

_____________

Another time, I was driving through Texas headed up from McAllen toward Houston on 77 I believe it was. Some POS escort BLEW by me. I was curious how fast it was going, so I caught up to it and was about 3 cars back in the other lane from it. We crested a hill and that's when the TX State Trooper saw us.

I was doing 110mph last I looked down.

He slid across the grassy median as my colon struggled not to betray the trust of my boxers.

I stood on the brakes and the Escort, with it's junk brakes or oblivious attitude kept on going. The officer managed to get up to speed/turned around after the escort right about the time I was pulling even with him at 55mph (speed-limit was 70). I saw him reach over in his passenger seat and put on his Smokey hat. I then, out of the corner of my watering eyes, saw him glare at me. Hatred. Raw, angry hatred. I kept eyes front and center, and he shot off after the Escort. I saw him pull him over. As soon as I got to the next overpass (the land there is FLAT!) that went over a street (about 1/3 mile from where he pulled the escort over), I just FLOORED it. I did NOT want to be a double-stop.

I never saw hide or hair of him again, and I will always wonder why the person in the Escort was doing 110, how that car got up to 110, and what happened to them.

birdmanx1 09-03-2011 08:37 PM

Wow importconvert, I love your first story and the Escort one :icon18:; I just can't believe how that officer let you walk away, that's just surreal. Thanks for sharing that story, you've had quite a few bumps with the police that ended up well for the most part :tup:

Keep'em stories coming, definitely a lot of fun realizing that many officers out there are really not out to get you and will definitely listen to you if you have a valid reason for being pulled out :tup:

RandyD 09-03-2011 08:55 PM

Bill has a story about being picked out from the middle of a whole line of Z's...

something about how motorcycle had a head on with a crown vic - and how you hit trees when you try to miss Bambi - and how these sports cars are typical culprits...

now get outta here and slow down...

birdmanx1 09-03-2011 08:59 PM

Wow he got the Bambi lecture :icon17: I just don't understand how he got picked among all of us. I think it all started when he downshifted as the officer was driving by on the way down the mountain. Hopefully he just got a warning.

RandyD 09-03-2011 09:01 PM

yeah just a warning.. not even written...

birdmanx1 09-03-2011 09:08 PM

Sweet; glad to hear he didn't write him up them ;)

birdmanx1 07-26-2012 06:10 PM

Cool cop pulled me over for missing front tag; basically told him that the car didn't come with the brackets, wasn't going to drill my bumper for it and that I was probably going to pay for the fine just as I did for the numerous fines I got for the front tag still missing.... He gave me a warning :eek: If I had known that being that direct would have saved so much before, I would have gotten off so many speeding ticket :icon17:

Mr&Mrs 07-26-2012 07:06 PM

Excuse bad typing and grammer trying to make it brief as possible.

Just watched the first Fast and Furious movie (first mistake) midnight release. Leaving and see a 55 gallon bag of popcorn, I take it (second mistake). Give a friend a ride home that I have not seen in years (third mistake). At the time could not afford a fast car, I drove a truck. In comes my bright idea for the giant bag of popcorn.

I throw it in the back rip the top off and commence to hauling *** home. Im doing about 95 MPH (thats what the truck topped out at) in a 45. We are having a blast laughing our a**es off. How I didnt crash I dont know because I was drving looking backwards out the window.

I look up see a red light no cars coming so I blow through it (another bad idea) this is also where a cop was sitting off to the side.

At this point I start to see traffic ahead so I commence to driving like the movie in a truck mind you. I catch 3 red lights that I actually stop for due to traffic take a long sweeping right turn and decide its time to slow down (probably another bad choice this is where I see lights).

I think to myself no way hes after me im going to pull over so he can get by, DOH! He pulls in behind me and I still cant compute that it was me he was after because I never saw lights.

Cop: *with gun in hand* HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!
Me : *gun scaring me* I like hang halfway out the window
Cop: WHY DID YOU RUN FROM ME?
Me : I never saw you im sorry dont shoot me
Cop: *starts calming down* Why did you run from me?
Me : I swear I never saw you I got over to let you by
Cop: You wish
Cop: know why I chased you?
Me : *cant think of any one thing* I say what didnt I do?
Cop: I have been chasing you since you ran that red light.
Me : *being a smart **** Wow I stopped at 3 red lights after that.
Cop: Cop: You were going so fast in between I could not catch you. Why didnt you stop?
Me : *smart a** again* Guess I didnt feel like stopping.
Cop: Licens etc etc

While waiting for the cop to come back my friend begins to tell me he has warrants and hopes he doesnt ask him for I.D.

Cop: *walking back notices whats left of the popcorn* whats this? he says
Me : Popcorn
Cop: what are you doing with it?
Me : I guess im going to eat it.
Cop: Get out of the car and tie it up now!
Me : *tried to tie it* I start laughing because it was ripped to shreds and I couldnt tie it.
Cop: *pushes me out of the way* folds what he can and flips it upside down.

He then goes on to tell me what all he "could write me up for" basically saying I should be in the back of his car. After all was said and done he only gave me a ticket for running the red light.

There is alot I left out especially with my buddy and the warrants because the cop did ask for his I.D, but I tried to keep this brief and failed. I have another good one with a police helicopter and 8 police cars I will post tomorrow I dont want to type that up after this, it isnt as funny anyway.

:icon18: Dude, what a story!!! I have no idea how you didn't get the county police sign tatooed on your face from the cop slamming your face on the hood. Do share about the copter and 8 police cars :tup:

Repped for some unbelievable story man. You are so lucky not to have been arrested then :icon17:

Mr&Mrs 07-26-2012 10:50 PM

It is late and im at work watching a control board so I will go ahead and post the other one.

Me and a group of friends met up at a local Hooters used to try and do this monthly to keep in touch. We all decided to go back to my friend D's house. There was 6 of us in three different cars.

D drove a White Celica GT which he though was the worlds best car, T cant remember what he was driving he has had like 300 cars in the 10 years I have known him, and I was in my White VR4 440AWHP. I mentioned the cars because it has to do with the story.

We all left together and usually stayed in form while driving places. For what ever reason D felt like being billy bad a** and avoiding a red left turn arrow by going up a block and doing a U-Turn. Well it is late at night so I knew the light would not be red long, and within 15 seconds we (T and myself) were turning onto the road behind him. Well as I come around the corner I would say maybe a mile down the road I see the reds and blues, and I think to myself hahahaha D's getting a ticket for driving like a prick again. So I speed up thinking when I go by im going to slow down and give him the finger...funny right? I probably drove 2 miles no sign of him or the cop so, meh must not have been him.

Another mile or so I stop at a light next to a Civic that has a hard on for me, so you guessed it I took off with the 440AWHP left him and my buddy in the dust and just kept on crusin at a high rate of speed. His neighborhood was very close to this. I decided to slow down a little so my buddy and the chick in his car could catch up and see me drift around the last corner before his neighborhood and punch it all the way down this perfect 1/2 mile road.

Well I make a killer drift at about 40 mph and by the time I pull out of it I was doing about 80 with a big smile on my face I look in my rear view mirror to see the reds and blues FML! then I think to myself wait he lives in this gated neighborhood just to my right side and I have the code to get in no way the cop will no where I went....right? So I keep my foot planted I didnt look at my speed but im sure I hit 130 mph. As im nearing the point of needing to brake I see reds and blues ahead of me coming from the oposite end of the road, needless to say I decided to give up. This all happened in a matter of 10-15 seconds mind you.

I look behind me again and there is what appears to be 3 more cop cars, I start to get blinded by something in the sky (helicopter). The lights I saw in front of me was 3 more cop cars not 1, they were close and had me boxed in within seconds, and then two more out of no where on my left side. FML! (to the right of me was an exit only gate to his neighbor hood 1 of only two gates to get in or out surrounded by an 8ft wall) I was so close!

Then I started thinking wait how could this many cops and a helicopter already be after me, i was only driving like an idiot for a minute...two tops. DDDDD! I screamed as the cops are dragging me out of my car, handcuffing me, and throwing me on my hood.

This is were it gets stooooopid because I had so many cops yelling at me and asking me questions, saying I jumped railroad tracks and drove into on comming traffic etc. etc. I actually started to agree with them even though I never really done any of that. At this point I know I was in shock and just stopped talking. I had a women cop yelling in my face that she was doing 100MPH and not closing the gap on me, im thinking duh I was trying to get away, and the cop that slammed me on the hood (the first one to start chasing who he thought was me) had a seriously crooked eye, I wanted to say so bad how the f*** could you know it was me with your crazy eyes.

Like I said though at this point I was not talking to them anymore because I started agreeing with them for some stupid reason. I look out in the shadows and like 100 people are staring at me from their houses and driveways, and I notice this young cop my age at the time even walking around the car. He actually says to me nice car, what?! thanks now is the time for that. He then grabs the crazy eye cop and says this isnt the car, like three times. Mr crazy eye was gonna pin it on me because he turned right when he shoud of went left. then over the radio they say, it was a white Toyota MR2. So I smiled big and held my hands out to get the stupid cuffs off me.

Then the lady cop starts yelling at me again about being a vehicular manslaughter investigator and I could of killed an old lady backing out of her driveway (at 1am? ya right) plus the side of the road I was on there was no driveways. After my lecture they let me go with nothing but a slap on the hands.

While all this was going on my buddy D that they were chasing, was so messed up from running actually freaked out and decided to go get a blockbuster movie since we had not showed up yet (forgot to mention they stopped traffic so my other buddy was stuck on the road).

Well he went to go out the gate they had stopped me in front of but my car was not visible so he just thought it was the entire police force trying to get into the gate. He flipped out opened his garage that was full of misc things golf clubs, work out equipment, ping pong table, you name it. Floored it inside smashing everything in sight.

Once we got there and explained everything to him he calmed down and im not going to lie actually high fived that he got away. I also started to date the chick (smokin hot blonde with blue eyes) that was with my buddy. It was the first time she met me guess it turned her on or something lol.

Also these cops didnt have a clue, my car was twice the size of his celica, and they were after an MR2 lol.

Anyway dont run from cops, dont drive like an idiot. I never drive like that anymore I was young and dumb. So many people do die from stupidity like my friends and I displayed.

Oh S**t! so any ways I pull off the crowded highway and come to a stop. He walks up and says "license and registration (or proof of insurance, whatever)"... No please in there, and then goes back to his car. After probably 20 minutes no joke he walks back up and says "I'm officer ______ from ______ county, sign here the instructions are on the back"; and then walks to his car. WHAT!!!!! Here I am not even knowing what he pulled me over for and he doesn't tell me anything but "the instructions are on the back" So anyways he ended up giving me the ticket for 13 over. And apparently the max limit before higher fines is 15mph over. Meanwhile you guys are doin 100+ and getting away with it lol. Please teach me!

:eekdance: Ohio state troopers give no grace either- once got a tcket in my Z28 camaro for 70 in a 65 zone-this on a four lane interstate-wth?! Same conversation as above-none!

So am I! The cops in my area must be super nice because I have only had 3 tickets out of the 15-20 times I was pulled over. One of the times was even out of state and involved an Officer spilling his chicken dinner all over his lap :roflpuke2: Some of the others are for really stupid things like the above two.

HOWEVER! I learned from my mistakes and have not even been pulled over in 7 years!

Dude, you do have the craziest stories ever. Not sure how you managed not to get shot already :icon17: You don't want to mess with a cop chicken dinner or donut for that matter :roflpuke2:

That's awesome man! In my first 5 yrs of driving I only got pulled over and ticketed once. It was for cutting one car length through the shoulder in rush hour traffic to take my exit. Cop pulled over the guy in front of me and then came back after me and told me I was getting pulled over too. Had to reverse back like 1/8 mile in the shoulder to get back to where the other guy was. He made me late to class that day :shakes head:

I've been pulled over like 4-5 times in the past year for no front plate. Not a single issue in the first 8 months I ran without it, but the last 4 weren't so much. All were warnings except the last one and I finally put it back on after the ticket. He only gave me a ticket because I already had a warning. He had initially pulled me over for "driving with intent to make excessive noise", probably because he couldn't get me for speeding. Also gave me a warning for my tail lights. He definitely walked around my car to see what else he could get me with.
