When I had my Mustang I got pulled over about three blocks from my house while heading home..
The cop says I was doing 40 in a 30 zone and I'm just thinking whatever.. I KNEW I was doing 30. Everyone in the car vouched that I was as well.. So anyways he asks if I have anything I'm "not supposed to have" on me and I was like "uh no." Then he asks if he can search the car and I'm just like fine whatever you're not going to find anything..
So me and my friends get out of the car and are sitting there.. meanwhile the cops are looking through the car.. of course there's nothing in there but they had nothing better to do at 2:30AM.. we're freezing.. And the cop calls for backup.. so a K9 unit and a detective show up.. I'm thinking WTF.. So they popped the trunk and I had my bass tube and a 10lb nitrous bottle back there mounted to a piece of wood that was mounted to the trunk.. They start to pry it up and I'm like "uh sir that's screwed down" and I heard this noise and they had pulled it up.. dammit.. Oh well, still nothing in there.. So he goes "Well slow down" and I'm like "yeah my house is about 200 feet away from here.." And then he says "you really should take that nitrous bottle out while you're driving. if it starts leaking you guys might all start getting a little bit "laughy"." (yeah, and puke from the sulfur that's put in as well.. dumbass) So I just said "well sir, right now the bottle is closed and I'm broke so it's been empty for a couple of months." "well, you should still take it out of there.." "It's EMPTY..." and then he let us go with a verbal warning..
I got pulled over in the Celica twice..
First time I was on my way to work going the same speed as everyone else to keep up with traffic.. radar detector plugged in as usual.. It didn't go off but the cop pulled me over regardless..
after he gave me my ticket for 11 over he goes "that thing's not really that great is it?" and I said "what isn't?" and he replies "that radar detector. you shouldn't have wasted your money on it."
so I said "i didn't waste any money, it was free. someone gave it to me as a present." he seemed pissed but after that he left..
second time I got pulled over in Indiana.. after I get pulled over the cop takes off and pulls another car over about 100-150 feet in front of me.. I start inching up thinking WTF I didn't know what was going on.. and he jumps in front of my car waving his flashlight.. I'm just like ok.. so I pull over again.. he's like "don't you know what the hell I said to you?" Of course, I knew he didn't say anything.. I had no clue what was going on.. Anyways, he asks if I know the people in the car in front of me (they had IL plates too) and I was like "nope, never met them." He then accuses me of street racing because they had been following me doing roughly the same speed.. He then asked if I knew how fast I was going.. I said "honestly man I have no idea. I've been driving for over 13 hours from South Carolina and I'm just trying to get home." Hey, it was the truth, I wasn't gonna lie. He said he clocked me at well over 100mph.. Somewhere around 120+. he gave me the ticket for 90 in a 65.. I was happy not to be arrested or anything and I just crept my ass the rest of the way home..
Then, five months later the Secretary of State sends me a letter stating that my license has been suspended for a year because I had two moving violations within 24 months while being under 21.. So now I'm waiting for May 28 to roll around so I can:
1.) Drive again
2.) Get myself out of the bad state known as IL and move down to SC
I called to pay the reinstatement fine the other day and they said it was 70 bucks.. I explained that I had a written letter saying it was 30 and there was nothing, no terms or anything, that says the prices will change without my notice, nor was I ever given any notice.. the guy was just like "oh well the prices went up." then I cut him off when he started to speak again and hung up on him.
The paper says I should mail the payment in 45 days before termination of the suspension for quick processing.. I'm going to get my license back on May 28th with that paper in my hand stating that that's the termination date, and a reciept stating that I paid the fine at the DMV. I was prepared to pay on time but the damn place changed without notifying me.. Ain't my fault if I don't have over twice the amount that was listed. I'm not going to even bother waiting for my license to get mailed to me.. What's the use, it'll be expired anyways (4-25 it expires this year).
