Either I met the nicest Z loving cop on Earth or I'm just that slick :-)

when i was heading to east texas to visit my relatives last month, i was speeding down the highway of course. i come over a rise and next thing you know, my radar detector goes crazy! i of course hit the brakes and tried to figure out where he was (i was going 85 in a 65 i think, they have weird speed limits there). well, after i got down to normal speed i saw him on the left side of the road (state trooper), so i stayed my butt in the right lane.
but then he pulled onto the road, got into the right lane, and folled me for a quarter mile....he turned on his lights!

i pulled over on the right side of the road (which i immediately realized was the bad side to pull over on) and the officer slowly walked around the passenger side of my car, pausing to touch my blacked out taillights and my roof spoiler (my previous car). so i, of course, was thinking "this dude is gonna think im some ricer kid and hes gonna give me a ticket for everything he can find!" he walks to the passenger door, and asks me "sir, please step out of the vehicle and follow my to my car." ...my heart was friggin racing. and my girlfriend...she was even more scared than me lol.

so i walk over to his car, and he says "please get in the vehicle" . o.0' "ok officer," i managed to squeak out. I get in, leaving the door open (i guess i thought about running lol not an intelligent idea). He says "please close the door." so i do it. he turns on his car, searches in the computer for my info (at this point id given him my drivers license and insurance). all of a sudden, he asks me "so what brings you all the way out her from plano?" (i was about two hundred miles from where i live). so i tell him how im out there to see my grandma for her birthday ( the truth btw she turned 77) and he starts talking to me about the area she lived in, then we start talking about the drive up, and then we move on to my car, and then i looked up and so his camera feed in the headling and i was like "thats so cool. ive never been in a cop car before so i didnt know thats how it looked." it made him laugh so he showed me how he could switch to a camera that was apparently right in front of my face the whole time that showed an interior view of the cop car. we talk for a few more minutes and he finally tells me the reason he pulled me over: no front plate. He gave me a warning, told me a shorter route to get where i was going, and told me to drive safe. all in all we hung out in his vehicle for like 15 minutes! and when i got back to my car, my girlfriend was freaking out cause she thought i was about to be arrested lol.

but she realized that shed be cool with that, and sais "i would have gotten to drive your car though!" ....hell no

Not at all surprising sir.

I bet he didn't ticket you because he was worried your car would eat him.

You are pretty slick

Hehe, I'm sure the joke helped a lot

I got clocked at 130mph(in my 350Z) late one night on the 15 when I used to live in Vegas. I was also a little buzzed. Anyway I saw a car on the side of the freeway waaay ahead of me with its lights on. So I dropped down to 70 mph way before I got up to it, just in case it was a cop - and it was. My heart dropped to my stomach as soon as I could clearly see it was a patrol car. Seconds later, his lights flash, and he was on my ***. I kid you not, I have never prayed to God like I did that night. I was drunk going 130 mph, I knew I was going to jail and getting slapped with a DUI, life was over. To make a long story short it went down like this...

(Me sitting in the car desperately praying to God if he got me out of this one, I would never speed again)
Cop: Do you know how fast you were going?
Me: About 70 mph.
Cop: No, way back there.
Me: (I knew I was busted so I said) Over 100 mph officer.
Cop: I clocked you at 130mph
Me: Really? you can clock me way back there?
Cop: Yep. How fast have you taken this thing?
Me: (That caught me off guard, so I was confused, but I didn't want to incriminate myself anymore)Umm...officer I know I'm in trouble and I don't want to get myself in anymore trouble.
Cop: No, seriously how fast? you won't get in trouble.
Me: (I was even more confused now so I just told him) I've taken it up to 150.
Cop: Wow, that's fast. Where do you live?
Me: Next exit.
Cop: OK, I'm going to give you the max speeding ticket without paying additional fines (I think that's 10mph over the limit) and go straight home.

I swear when that cop walked away I heard the Hallelujah song playing! And I stuck that ticket on the back of my door so I would see it everyday I walk out.

I unknowingly led a Highway Patrol officer on a high speed chase for 10 miles. The report straight up says that the only reason he ever caught me was because I slowed down to 75 when I finally came to a point where I wasn't the only car around. It says something along the lines of "Maintaining speeds of over 140 MPH, I was not able to close the gap between myself and the suspect". Once I got to a point where I was coming up to traffic, I slowed down.

He finally caught up to me, and hit the lights. He asked me to get out of the car, and I thought I was going to jail for sure... He asks if I've ever been pulled over, and I told him yes. I had 1 criminal speeding ticket (20 MPH over). I rarely drove this car, so I didn't have my proof of insurance with me, and the registration was expired by like 4 days. He runs my ID, and gives me a reckless driving ticket. He said that he could have done either a criminal speeding or reckless driving, but going back in front of a judge for the same exact thing looks pretty bad, so he gave me the reckless driving. No tickets for the insurance or registration. He technically should have taken me to jail, but he didn't. I haven't had a ticket in 5ish years.

Oh, and it was a Civic.

Damn you definitely lucked out Bert. Glad you didn't show any signs of having some of that oil money otherwise he might have tried to get himself some of that

.

Glad to hear you just got away with minor fines. You actually going to get rid of the tint or just pay the fines?

Had you been in the car, he was definitely going to slap me with the fines seeing that I had a future young mullah with me in the car. I'm not getting rid of the tint, I have a plan, will see how it turns out

I got to say we ended up chatting for a bit on the side of the road about Irene before parting ways like old friends - He gave me the rundown on the different hurricane categories

Don't have any cool stories about cops. I've only ever been pulled over once and I'd like to keep it that way

That's easy.. You just need one of these tags on your car

birdmanx1 · 08-27-2011, 01:26 PM

You've thought of it before. Look dude, with your British accent, you are usually one step ahead. I need one that a sticker next to ZUPRMAN, some like TROOPER2, that should do the trick

Wow those are some crazy stories guys!

birdmanx1 · 08-29-2011, 04:05 PM

Great stories Elmz & Vivid. I lucked out with the timing of Irene

I hate that feeling when you realize that things can get really ugly and that everything depends on that officer right in front of you staring with the mustache, 80s glasses and huge hat. I'm sure they must get a kick out of watching people sweat.
