LEOs are trained and expect to be in control of any situation they're in. If they even suspect you're copping an attitude (no pun intended), they're either going to let you go or be more harsh on you then they need to be. You can choose to be a (lawful) **** to the cops, but unless your dad is one or you're a lawyer, you'll have to accept whatever comes back to you due to it.

If you do ANYTHING even REMOTELY illegal in your car and you say your papers are in the trunk, and if the cop asks you to pop the trunk and allow them to search for the papers, they may possibly decide you've given them the right to search your entire car for whatever. This hopefully wouldn't bother you, but there are worse idiots out there that write off their rights for dumber situations and pay the price when their weed stash wasn't so stashed. Or open alcohol.

But hey, it's your choice to be odd. I have no idea what actually happened to cause him to pull you over (you went over a double yellow line?). But if you did it, then you did it, even if for a brief second.

Also, just don't do burnouts. >.< Let alone in a parking lot that is not yours.

Would you be able to do a DIY or some kind of How To on this? Id be pretty impressed if you could add a line detail in there on where my pressue guage should go.

What's the diff between that and rooting around in glove box, console etc. Just as likely to want to have that weapon handy up front eh?

Points are moot. Recognize that I have the highest regard for most officers. Officers do have a hard job, but they are human, and subject to mood swings based on what happens in life. That said, it really doesn't matter where he keeps his docs, the real issue is the response to and the, dare I say it, profiling the officer performed when he saw the minor infraction. Would the officer have stopped a mom in a minivan loaded with kids for doing the same? I would say the odds would be significantly reduced. It is about power and projection of the same. It is inherent in their training. Assuming a young driver, in a known performance car, slight infraction, perfect opportunity to project power and develop fear in that young driver to maybe make them think twice before crossing that double yellow line again.

Anyway, movin' on... :tiphat:

You mean like a How To Properly Act When Pulled Over By Police?

Your best bet is to ask a lawyer or other LEO. And there are such articles and Youtube clips of such.

My 20-second-prep comment would be:
Be considerate (turn off your car, hands on the wheel, don't fidget about or get your papers out before asked), know your rights, be at least functionally aware of local road laws, don't lie, don't do anything strange that you don't warn the cop about (grab for things in your car, get out), and shut up. (No, really, shut up unless pointedly asked questions; and even then answer only the questions asked.)

Bottom line the cop was making quota.
Stay out Of Staten Island, the NYPD out here have nothing better to do but give out B.S. tickets. its always a game. Be smart keep your stuff in the glove.
It was fun reading all the B.S. just my 2 cents.
LoL

Lol, seriously this end of the month thing gotta end

Wow, 5 pages of this. Slow day at 370Z.com. Problem is I read it all :icon17:

Yeah, great thread lol. I feel compelled to contribute:

I keep my Jeep Rubicon's insurance papers under the carpet in the trunk. My Rubicon's been broken into half a dozen times. The glove box gets rooted through every time. They've NEVER stolen my insurance papers (with my name, address etc) because...(wait for it)...they were hidden in the trunk.

Yes, there is the inconvenience of retrieving the papers from the trunk if I'm pulled over, but the cops always say they understand why I hide them.

...and I understand why they stand back with their hands on their guns when I start rooting around in the trunk :D

Thank you Tick64, Thank You

It draws you in, starts with some drama then simmers down, then the comical relief, then more drama...maybe

Many thanks to Chuck. Many, many thanks. I seldom laugh out loud in absence of a recently liberated fart, but you helped me secure a stink-free chuckle.

I know it's been stressed enough but seriously put your papers where you can easily get to them without freaking out the LEO as you go digging through your trunk. Having your drivers license and papers in hand when the LEO walks up to your car will make their job easier and you may just get a warning for being so easy to deal with.

To the guy who had his Jeep broken into 6 times...

1. Get a Viper alarm system

2. Move

The last thing I worry about is my car getting broken into. I worry more about my rims getting stolen! :p

Ive had my Benz broken into, took all my tennis gear right before a tournament. Sigh

Minsu did you ever get your bike?
