Wow, I didn't think this thread would turn out this way. I just added my .02 cents because believe it or not, I think LEO's take more verbal harrassment than any other profession out there. I just wanted to let you guys know how it feels to be on the "other side" of the law. And I just wanted to give everyone a few tips on how to better your chances of NOT getting a ticket.

stsxcrle, 82 in a 65 will definitely get you a ticket anywhere in the country, except for maybe LA

Re-read how I came across in my post. I know I'm asking for a ticket going 80, and I should say that I used-to-go 80, I keep the cruise set at 70 on my way home now. I just thought it was a little coincidental that with the same driving style in the A/C I was pulled over within two weeks of having it. Not suggesting a conspiracy, just that when driving a car that looks sporty, you're more LIKELY to be pulled over.

That said, I completely agree I should have received a ticket and understand and respect that a LEO has to constantly be on guard and take a lot of abuse. I'm always respectful to them and they in turn are almost always respectful back.

my goal was to point out that blacks and minorities in general sometimes have VERY different experiences with police, regardless of whether they are law abiding, honest citizens or not. Only after having a number of those experiences does one have a justification in feeling a certain way about cops in general! It isn't right to make that generalization, but from their experience, they do it unconciously! If I interact with 10 cops in a row, and all 10 are racist a**holes, of course I'm gonna assume that the 11th cop I meet is a racist a**hole. Likewise, if all of your dealings with cops are positive, then you will assume that the 11th cop will be cool also, and could not understand why I would hate cops!

Whenever i get pulled over i say i just got back from Iraq and I'm getting used to the car/area again, depending on what kinda violation it is. Then show my Navy ID, works for me.

yeah that works for my husband too......he got stopped like three times in texas ( he really did just get back) and they let him go! ohhh but let me get stopped amd im definately getting a ticket no matter the excuse.

Yea its crazy. My girl has gotten stopped twice here and gotten ticketed both times for speeding. I have been stopped 9 times now and never gotten one. knock on wood.

yeah i don't think the niceness card works!!! i am always nice and courteous and i still always get a ticket. stupid mp's!!!! i always see everyone onbase speeding, talking on cell phones, or doing some other sh*t they aren't supposed to do. but who do they stop.......me, the one who one day happens to go 3 miles over limit accidentally. then when i tell them that i was super sick and on cough syrup with codiene the mp told me he could also cite me for driving under the influence or some sh*t. i told him well how the heck am i supposed to get around when my husband is deployed!!!!!! he was like oh ok well just get home safe. (i was like 4 houses away from mine) but he still gave me the stupid ticket!!

My boss used to be a LEO, he said that all a woman had to do to guarantee a ticket was cry. But if you could make him laugh he'd give you a warning. Anyone seen the movie Super Troopers?? One of my favorite movies all-time. Meow, do you know how fast you were going?

[altimacoupelvr]

i've never cried cause i don't feel it's a reason to cry......i just get mad......not at the mp's or cops.....just at myself.
