shepp Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I honestly can't tell you the last time I've gotten pulled over in my personal truck. Tonight I totally rolled a stop sign I front of a deputy in the country. I knew what I did and as soon as his lights came on I pulled over and waited. Pulled out my license and watched him as he came to me, he seriously was the most nervous I've ever seen an officer. He asked if I knew why I was pulled over told him yes, he states that he's going to issue me a 10$ no prof insurance instead of fail to stop, tells me to stay in my truck (also thought that was odd, never been told that). He comes back again seeming nervous, just struck me as odd. So I leave go play two games of kickball, get back in my truck and it dawns on my I haven't been pulled over since I put the "gun control is bullpoopy" "only slaves are disarmed" and "legalize freedom restore the constitution" stickers on my truck. Idk if it was that or what but it was very odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Not my last stop, but the one prior was pretty interesting. I was headed to pick my wife up at the college after a class. Like 9:15pm. I rolled a stop, or Cali stopped anyways. Guy lit me up and I pulled over. Turned off the car, rolled all the windows down, took the keys out and put em on the dash and kept both my hands high on the steering wheel in plain view....guy gets on the horn and tells me to turn the car off and put it in park. I give a wave out the window and put my hand back on the wheel. Again, and this time a little more forceful he tells me to turn the car off and put it in park. Again I waive...it's off I yell. Now he's pissed and screaming on the loud speaker. Same story...but now I'm freaked out trying to figure out what the hell is going on. I feel like the guy from the "where's the little girl" skit. I'm panicked ...like super troopers "he can't pull over any further"...I can't turn it off or put it more in park than it already is, but for some reason I'm about to get shot. He finally exits and approaches unbuckled and hand on the gun. I told him the vehicle has been off and in park since I pulled over and the keys haven't even been on the ignition after I hand him the demanded license, reg and insurance. "I'm not stupid, your reverse lights have been staring me in the face since we stopped." He barks Boy...I wanted to start off with " apparently you are stupid then..." But my already scared shitless side said that would be a bad idea. I waited for him to finish everything and when he was done I politely broke it to him that he should be cautious and remain in his car for safety, but to be more patient with the GM vehicles he stops in the future. Our Yukon turns all the outside lights on( including the reverse lights) as exit lamps when you put it in park and turn it off. They stay on for like 60 seconds on ours.

sketch Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 You probably just jinxked my luck!! I've been lucky for the last 8 years only warnings? Back inthe day I had a co worker in the car on the way to the job and saw another truck full of the rest of the crew so my young dumb ass started a race... Well long story short the state patrol said I was pulling away and he was well over a 100! I was granted a warning due to my passenger being a collage friend of a fine officer yes sir sorry sir!! I don't envy your jobs ( 308 Leo ) but I'm glad you are people too!! Respect ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Speeding and?????? I'm sorry I lost it with the super troopers reference:) Only other weird pull over I've had is when my buddy was riding wheelies down I 90 8-10 years ago. the state trooper who was tending to me was a complete jack ass, he seriously challenged me to box it out with him and after 10 min of being screamed at about how I desecrated his sweet hwy. I intrupted him and said excuse me sir but I was following the traffic laws and in my opinion you are acting like a jack ass, if I did my job like you I'd be fired. He took it well and asked if I wanted to talk to his super, I said mater of fact I do! That never happened, the whole time the officer writing my buddy his ticket was in total disbelief.

Robocop1051 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 When I was in the academy, I damn near failed out because of traffic stops. I hated them and swore I'd never do them when I got on the job. When I got hired and was in field training, I flubbed my first stops so bad my Training Officer tore my ass till I got it right. The crusty old bastard was a former motorcycle cop, and could make a car stop in his sleep. I absolutely HATED traffic stops. They are dangerous and never 100% controlled. The retarded part is I've been a motorcycle cop since 2006, and now I make car stops ALL DAY LONG. I still hate traffic, but now I'm the guy who trains the new kids. Funny how life turns out. I don't think traffic enforcement needs to be handled the way most people fear it is handled. I believe education can be administered as effectively as a fine. Sure, I have my pet peeves that score an instant ticket, and there are certain violations that are considered "zero tolerance". Most of the time, if I can find a fix-it ticket violation over a moving violation, I'll give that out instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Haven't been pulled over too often. Maybe 3 times since 2005. In '05, I was heading for PT at 5am - nobody on the road but Soldiers heading to PT, in that small town. The motherfucker knew who was on the road then, too... Just Soldiers. He was a cock. That got dropped. Obviously, since I was headed onto a military reservation, I wasn't armed then. Sometime in '08 I got pulled over on I-10, for 83 in a 75. Not a big deal in Arizona, if you're not 10-over. Windows down, back window in the truck open, and both Staties get out, and approach from the passenger side. One yelled "Are you armed?!" My response was "Hell yes, I am." That was a friendly warning to slow it down, after they wanted to see what I had. It was the Kimber Desert Warrior. Last time was in the small town, turned left, where everybody turns left, against a "no Left Turn" sign. Coming out of a Circle K store. It was WAY down the street before he popped his lights. First thing I said when he came up was "I am armed." His question was "What is it?" "4-inch Kimber .45, right hip" Only thing he said was "don't do anything stupid..." Only thing I could think to say was "Not going to - hence the reason I told you about it in the first place..." Ended with a warning. Bottom line is - be truthful, respect them, and they'll respect you. It usually ends good, with no tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Agreed tom, that's why I pulled right over last night and I always do when I know I was in the wrong. As soon as the lights pop on I pull over and when the questions asked why I pulled you over I tell them. I've gotten more 10$ tickets over actual moving violation and I think that's the reason, no BS given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob, you think the same way I did when I was still working! <thumbsup> BTW, one of my biggest pet peeves was someone who would not dim their headlights! If I pulled you over for that you were almost certainly getting a ticket for it! <lmao> Edited October 25, 2013 by 392heminut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 About 10 years ago my partner and I got grabbed by CHP, headed north on I-5 from So-Cal (after a VERY crazy weekend). A friend worked at Enterprise car rental, and hooked us up with a Jaguar X-type for the weekend. It was about 3am, and we passed the hidden cruiser doing almost 140. He screamed at us for about 10 mins.... then told us to drive safe so I could get to work on time that same morning.... Yeah, There may be one or two perks to my job.

Told him great and he sent me on my way. But as soon as I saw him far far behind I pulled over and waited for him, I knew damn well I was the reason he had his lights on lol Wash I've got a simular story no lambo but a guy on a Ducati came up on me one night on my way home from Milwaukee down 94. I was on my TLR (they called them the one liter duc eatter cuz they were eatting up the 996 duc on the track). Well this guy was on a 999 satin black and sexy (the bike) but I was gonna let him get the best of me. He come up on me flys buy my I drop a gear twist the throttle and chase him down I blew by him at 120-130 easy he starts to persue me this goes on for two three miles as we crest a hill on the other side in on coming traffic is a trooper with a car pulled over, guy on the duc drops off I figure F it I got an exit two miles up ill back road it home lol as if my heart wasn't pumping enough I damn near poop my self when I saw the cherries and berries!!
