the coolest cop you've been pulled over by

[SSMS3]

Irony

Several years ago, got pulled by a Sherriff over while riding my liter sportbike on some vacant backroads. I'm riding pretty hard, look in my mirror, see lights, pull over and think, s***, jail at those speeds.

Cop says: I was going over 120mph to catch up to you and you were just pulling away, didn't you see me? Thank you for stopping.

So we talk, he asks me a bunch of questions about the bike, tells me to slow down, be careful and lets me go. WOW, my lucky day thank you SIR!

HERE'S THE BEST PART....
About a year later, he bought my house!
We're sitting across a table talking money, I'm looking at him, he's looking at me, each of us knowing we'd met before but can't remember where. Suddenly I burst out: YOU PULLED me over last year on my bike. His wife says: "ut oh, the price just went up". I LOL and say: NO, he let me go SOLD!

so about 5 years ago, i was dating this girl and we were at a party when I had to take her home (she lives two towns over from where the party was and where I lived). I hadn't drank at all since I knew she had to be home early and good thing too because on the way home, I got pulled over in bit of a speed trap. On the road I was driving, the limit drops down from a 45 zone to a 35 as you come into town and cops like to sit there all the time. Well, I got pulled over, of course, doing 52, which is still speeding even for the 45 zone.

Cop: you know why I pulled you over?
me: no, not really.
Cop: well, you were going 52 and this is a 35 zone.
me (playing dumb): oh, I thought it was a 45.
Cop: it changes right as you pass that light you just went through.
Cop (after he looks at my license): so you're from Jeanette? what are you doing out here at this time of night? (it was just after midnight)
me: I just dropped my girlfriend off, she had to be home at midnight, now i'm heading home.
Cop: how long you been dating her?
me: about two weeks now.
Cop: well, if you're going to keep dating her, I suggest you slow down when you come through here. Have a nice night.
me: thanks!

needless to say, I went back to the party and got wasted.

I got pulled over for suspicion of DUI 2 blocks from my house. I had been drinking but had stopped about 2 hours before I left. My wife (then girlfriend) was shot gun. He "smelled" alcohol on my breath and made me do the road side test. I passed it, I think. He looks in the car and recognizes my wife. Her father was a captain on the force for that jurisdiction. He looks at me and says... Can she drive the rest of the way?

I really don't think I was impaired but VA will staple your balls to a board for the mere suspicion of such. Sometimes I hate the Rupulik of Virginia.

Oh yeah, I got pulled over for drag racing when I was 16. I was racing some like aged girls in a beat up New Yorker. I was driving a 73 VW Beetle. The cop pulled ME over and not them. He said he would have given me a ticket for drag racing and exhibition of speed but didn't feel it would hold up in court when the judge saw what I was driving. He let me go with a warning. That's kinda funny.



I also lost the drag race

The first cop who pulled me over for blatantly running a red light (I was following my girlfriend and she ran it so I felt like I had no choice).

I only had my license for a week. I was 15. I was pretty damn nervous. The cop asked me why I ran the light and I explained that I was following my girlfriend to someone's house and I had no idea where it was. Pretty much right on cue, she pulls up looking pretty sad. The cop sees us both and just hands me back my license. He told me to be careful. Awesome!



When I used to live right by LSU on State St. I would see all kinds of action either out my window or from the porch. Drunk college kids driving home on your street = hilarious.

One night me and my buddy saw this Camaro driving down the street like a puppy with his tail between his legs. A cop was behind him. The cop hit the roof, Camaro pulls over, and the cop just rolls by slowly yelling YOU DRIVE LIKE CRAP over his PA. We got a good 10 minutes of laughter out of that one.

that is classic

 

[LASERBLUE135]

So many...

Got pulled over by a female state trooper late late late...like 3am (speeding), she looks at me, notices I'm not drunk (I just got off work), looks at my license...throws my license back in my lap and says,

"slow down and stop wasting my ******* time!"

- that was the whole conversation.


Another good one, I was just giving her hell, just for the heck of it, 10am mid day, basically wide open road, 3 to 4lanes, and I fly by a trooper in a white unmarked Chev Suburban in the next lane!(I'm doing well over 100 pedal to the floor!), as I slow to take my exit I notice a waaaays back he's coming up FAST behind me. I pull over and think I'm going to jail or getting a HUGE ticket.

him "you know how fast you were going?"
me "fast"
him "you got insurance for this thing?" - I love that line/the way he said it
me "right here"
him "looks like you were going 90 with the brakes on."
SILENCE...crickets
"I'll be back, don't move"

I just got a ticket for careless driveing, not even $200.

[mckraut]

I've never had "cool" cop pull me over. But every ticket I've gotten, I deserved it, for sure. No mercy was ever expected.

Now for asshole cops, I have a brief story. Some guy tried to pull me over on an merging ramp coming from a side road onto I-95 in Baltimore (yeah, there's never traffic on THAT road). I put my hand out the window and made a sweeping motion to show that I was going to continue driving down the merge ramp and pull off to where it's safe. So I drive for maybe another 45 seconds max and stop. He pulls up behind me and tells me I wasn't wearing my seatbelt (which I was, and still had it on when he came up). Then he tries to tell me that I tried to evade police by not stopping right away on the merge ramp. I didn't argue with the guy too much, but I did explain how dangerous it would have been to do that. Eventually he just let me go, but was a total dick about it.

Edit: I have gotten out of one ticket I should have received, by flashing my hospital ID and explaining I was late for a meeting at our data center. That cop was pretty cool now that I think about it, the ticket would have been almost 20 over. Got off with a verbal warning.

I was thinking about that thread while reading this one.

 

[jbiird317]

i think my previous thread takes the cake, but ive got a couple other stories...

I grew up in a small ass town, so to risk being corny, you really do know just about everyone and what theyre doing.... anyway, driving home late, i spot my friend behind me, i see if he wants to give it a go and speed down some windy roads. surprisingly his headlights stay far back, he didnt play along...then all the sudden, his lights in my rearview turn into 2 sets of lights as the cop car behind him (that i didnt previously see) passes him and flies up to pull me over 60 in a 35. he walks up - "lisence and registr......Jay, is that you? what the hell are you doing driving that fast? and when did you get this car? ahhh, get out of here, say hi to your folks for me" and he was gone before I could say thanks...

i really didnt even get to say 2 words the whole time. apparently i was his son's patrol leader in the boy scouts a couple years prior. gotta love living in a small town

Best cop I ever dealt with never stopped me. I was pulling onto the highway and came up the ramp, shall we say, briskly, and just past the end of the ramp is a cop. I see his hand come out the window and think, "oh crap" and start to pull over behind him but he waves me around and makes a "slow it down" motion with his hand.

Another time I did get pulled over in my old Turbo Sunbird by a young cop. I didn't have time to pull the detector off the dash so I just left it on (it had not gone off). The cop looks in the car and sees the radar detector and comments "well, you're all set up for it." He asks why I was speeding and I told him that I was trying to catch my wife. He said that he hadn't put the radar on me. We both looked at my radar detector and I gave a little half smile and said "yeah, I know". He ran my license, it came back clean and he didn't even bother writing a warning, just let me go.

Back when I first got my license, I worked at Arbys and was driving a Focus. About 2am when I got off work I was driving and had to make a UTurn to get onto the highway. (median blockage). Anyways, a cop was going the other way and pulls the same UTurn and I'm like "**** me." So I pull over. He asks if I know why he pulled me over, and I said "is it because of that UTurn?" And he says "yes" and goes back to his car. Like 5 minutes later he says "sorry for taking so long. I was talking to my son. He's really interested in getting a Focus like this. Going for his license on Monday. You like the car? Any major problems." So I start talking to him, get out of the car and show him the car an s***. Then he's like "well, since there wasn't a no uturn sign I can't really ticket ya. Have a good day."

My g/f however gets really lucky. She works at DQ here, and all the cops come in for breakfast every morning. Well oneday she was running late and got pulled over by a regular to DQ. He goes up to his window, asks for her ID (she has a jacket on so he can't see her uniform) and tells her she was going 13 over and is going to write her a ticket. As he hands her the ticket, he says "so what were you going so fast for anyways." and she replies "I'm late for work." "where do you work?" "DQ" The cop tears up the ticket and says "okay, you can get out of here." and walks back and drives off. My g/f gets to work and not 2 minutes later he comes in and orders breakfast. She gave him his meal for free. . I know of atleast 5 people who work at taht DQ(when I worked there) who have gotten out of speeding tickets. Probably because we actually like cops there and don't spit in their food.

I got pulled over once in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan (I live in Mid-Michigan...probably about 6-8 hours away from where this happened) while driving my second Evolution...got pulled over for tint by a Michigan State Cop. The car was originally from CA, and I hadn't gotten around to removing the tint. Turns out the officer dated a girl from the same town my gf lived in, which has like 3000 people maximum. It was so random...We chatted a bit, and he let me go with a warning.

 

[USMS3]

Got a couple of each, myself...

First car was a Focus as well. I had just put my exhaust on and wanted to hear it so at about 11PM i went to the dead end road that runs next tot he highschool parking lot. I do a quick 1/4 mile jsut to get a feel for it and a cop pulls out of the parking lot and pulls me over. Nice guy, just a warning (I was only 17 too).

When I had just returned from being stationed in Okinawa, I was heading down to San Diego to go to the Marine Corps Ball with my girlfriend (my brother is a Marine too and he got us tickets to his battalions Ball on the WQueen Mary in Long Beach) so I was hauling ass down the 99 only two weeks after buying my car. I had my Dress Blues hanging in the backseat with all my medals mounted and ready to go, including my Iraqi Freedom medal. As I go under an overpass, I notice the motorcycle cop hiding behind the pillar before I can even lift off the gas. Immediately, he is on my ass, so I pull across four lanes, slowly, to the shoulder. He asks for the normal stuff, goes back to the bike, comes back and hands my ID and license back and says "Slow down, drive safe. Semper FI" and walks away.


On the OTHER hand now...

St Pattys day, I met up with a few people from MOCC Forums at a meet in OC. On the way back, another Mazda owner who had left at the same time as me, calls to remind me its St Pattys day and that cops are on the lookout tonight, so I decide to put myself behind other slower cars, on purpose. Its midnight, and Im moving south on I-5, when all other traffic is now gone, so I am alone exept one or two other cars here and there. Without noticing, I slowly pick up a little speed while moving downhill. Suddenly -lights behind me. He clocked me doing 89 in a 65, he says. Asks for ID - I hand over license and military ID and such. He asks if I have been drinking, I explain that I specifically avoided any drinking tonight because I knew I would be driving. He performs a field sobriety test - "follow my finger" kinda stuff. I pass with flying colors, obviously. So he writes me a ticket for 80.
MORAL OF THE STORY - cops south of LA hate military, and the military ID wont get you off the hook down here because military people are everywhere and we are trouble makers. Mostly us Marines. LoL

 

[montrealms3]

Over 10 years ago now . . . I was out with a couple of buddies. We had been drinking, but I saw that the buddy who was driving was drinking quite heavily, so I stopped drinking.

Long story short, I end up driving the car to shall we say "fine gentlemen's establishment". The guy who owns the car is lying across the back seat and my other buddy is in the passenger seat. The one in the passenger seat says, "hey, let me try the car" (I'm thinking, not a good idea, but we are on a small street, fairly late at night, we should be okay), so I agree. As we get out he yells "CHINESE FIRE DRILL" and runs over to the drivers door . . . I'm still not quite sure why he yelled that, but he did and we thought it was funny . . . anyways, we get to another stop sign and I tell him I should be driving, so we yell CHINESE FIRE DRILL again and switch places, except this time, there was a cop at the stop sign . . . UH-OH!

I'm thinking we're dead . . . they pull us over, and two female officers walk up to our windows:

HER: Licence and registartion please. Have you been drinking? I smell alcohol!
Me: No ma'am, I have to drive tonight, this is my buddy's car and he is too drunk to drive (I point to the back seat where he is now sitting up with a goofy drunk smile on his face) what you smell must be coming from him.
HER: What were you doing back there?
Me: Well, my friend here wanted to try the car (I hear him telling the other cop he doesn't have his wallet) so I let him, but then he realized he doesn't have his wallet . . .

He tells the other cop the same story . . . they both come back and tell us to be careful . . . got away with that one . . . I was over the legal alcohol limit. Didn't do that again . . .
