Good Times

So I was driving home from the gym late at night, enjoying my tunes. I saw a cop in my rear view mirror, but knew I wasnt speeding as im a pretty darn good driver and have never hit an old lady before. Also never been pulled over for anything. I figured he just so happened to need to go the same way I was. Soon he turns off his lights, which i thought was weird, and then pulled me over.

The lights from the cop car were absolutely blinding, and after what seemed to take forever, the cop finally came up to my door just to tell me my "license plate light" was out, whatever the fuck that is. He then asked for my license and registration, as per procedure. I handed him my license, but having never done this before, I could not for the life of me find the registration. I spent a solid 2 minutes searching for it with fecal matter dripping down my leg having shit myself out of a combination of embarrassment and fear.

He finally got so bored of it that he just told me he was gonna let me off, but to make sure to clean out my glove compartment. Definitely gonna get my parents to actually teach me what and where the registration is, as well as ridicule them for having such a ridiculously messy glove compartment.

When I was a teenager I got pulled over for absolutely no reason in the middle of the day and when I couldn't locate the registration (dad's truck and it wasn't anywhere to be found) he wrote me a ticket. Just the one ticket mind you - no speeding ticket, no illegal turn etc. He had no reason to pull me over in the first place, just saw a young looking driver and felt like being a dick.

I went to a justice of the peace and got it tossed out but still had to waste my time taking care of something that should have never happened in the first place.

When I get pulled over these days there's a lot less fecal matter running down my leg and a lot more "hurry the fuck up I got places to be."

Then again, I know exactly where my registration is.

i got pulled over the other day by an unmarked cruiser who was following me for about 8 miles watching me go 30 mph over the limit, zip in between traffic, and flip somebody off...only careless driving, so i guess im lucky. Bastards lol.

Never got asked for registration before. Only license, and insurance. Some d-bag did pull me over once for doing 40 in a 35. Yeah, so much for being able to go 5 over.

Take it to court and get it thrown out. Judges just say fuck these tickets.

I was in a car going to a Boy Scout trip (laugh later), and we were all in uniform, except for the driver (because he was too fat for his uniform). While we were going along the highway, we were doing about 90 the whole way, and then, two miles from the campsite, we get pulled over for doing 45 in a 30 zone. The driver said to the cop "That's it?" And then he got a ticket for speeding AND reckless driving, while going to a Boy Scout function.

Proper procedure for being pulled over.
1. For god sakes, use your blinker to indicate you're pulling over.
2. Turn the Car off
3. Put the interior light on
4. Turn off your radio.
5. Use your flashers
6. Keep your hands visible at all times and no sudden movements.
7. Always have license, registration and proof of insurance (even if your state doesn't require it) handy.
8. Sir and Officer are what you call him unless he says different.
9. Use blinker when pulling back into the street.

I actually did all of those except number 7, of course. Probably the reason he just let me go without even seeing the registration.

HAHAHA! LOL! Thanks for sharing!

I remember my first pull-over was at a drinking'n'driving counter-attack roadblock. Actually, it wasn't a pull-over as there were vehicles lined up down the road a fair ways. Being young and stupid, when the cop asked if I had being drinking that night, I asked in return, "Does Cool Aid count?" Lucky for me he had a sense of humor and sent me on my way as I was being kind of facetious.
