I also have never been pulled over for something I wasn't at fault with. Sad reality, but the truth. Sometimes the officer wasn't very nice, but thats what you get for breaking the law.

1. was going into school late, because when i woke up on time, my knees physically gave out and i couldnt move them for a while. speeding ticket on my way to school to help in the final stages of a group project. 60 in a 45, but the cop said i was cooperative so the judge only fined me a fraction of the original cost.

2. me and a friend (rx7) were driving on back roads a little faster than we shouldve been, "multiple" people called in complaints, cop pulled us both over, and questioned us, but couldnt give us tickets because they didnt see anything.

3. almost a speeding ticket, coming home after taking a sick friend dinner, 72 in a 55, cop made me memorize his phone number and give it to my parents to call him in the morning or he would send me a summons.

1.) Pulled over 2x in one night by the same cop for street racing. First time, we were LINED UP in an office park next to a 200sx SE-R (I was in a '99 Prelude) and I talked my way out of it. I said I just came up to meet some friends, didn't know anyone raced there, lol. He told me to go home. Didn't go home, went looking for cars lost in scramble, same cop caught me, busted me because my dumb a$$ put my plates on backwards...

Actually, the car I was looking for was 2BN_S13, lol. He got out just in time.

2.) Pulled over in S14 for using the WRX plates because the 15-day temp tags expired. Cop was an S14 owner, let me go, pretty cool.

3.) Pulled for 52 in a 35 in the WRX. Went to court, got knocked down to 1 point, took it.

Pulled over once for drifting, was cooperative with the cop, but he treated me like dirt. Gave me careless operation cause he really couldnt see what I was doing.Got reckless operation for drifting on my 18th birthday, heh. Cop was nice to me, but his partners told him to lock me up. He sent in 6 cop cars after me, heh, musta thought I was a crazed drunk.Thought my insurance company was gonna cancel me and I'd have to pay over 350 bucks for tickets, only paid 275 in total and took defensive driving, got rid of the careless operation.Ever since Ive almost completely stopped drifting in parking lots, realizing that it can happen to me.

Driving 65 in a 50. Got 2 points and $260 fine.

Teaching friends to drive manual in a 1988 uninsured, unregistered civic in a parking lot. 3 month suspension and a total of $500 in expenses. (this is one of the worst things that's ever happened to me, lots of other bad things came out as a result of this).

This new years eve at 10:30 pulled over for not stopping before a right turn at a red. His third sentence was "How much have you had to drink tonight?". I didn't have anything so he asked me to tell him the time without looking at a clock or watch. I don't know how that shows if a person is drunk but I had fortunately looked at the clock 5 minutes ago. He let me go. An hour later I was going 40 in a 25, got pulled over again This cop just talked to me for like a minute, saw I wasn't drunk, and let me go.

Thats about it.

Going home at 2 in the morning this POS Pasat wanted to race me so I gased it... Im going around 90 and there is this black SUV in front of me, I pass it using the shoulder. After 3 blocks I slow down and I see the black SUV on my *** flashing its high beam and turning on its siren with blue flashing bulb.... I pull over. 4 detectives come out of the SUV... run my license plate and name they searched my car and gave me a really hard time but they ended up letting me go w.o anything. I dont think those detective could have done anything but was an unpleasant experience

Before i had my 240sx i had a 99 Integra and i was on my way to school and was running pretty late. I was gonig through a school zone about 45 mph and then i see a motorcycle cop in a neighborhood through the corner of my eye and i was like o ****. The n he pulls out of the neighborhod and i was thinknig of trying to lose him through the neighborhood but he had a motorcycle so he could of prob found me anyways. So yea, i got a ticket for that. The funny thing is that a van next to me was going way faster than i was, haha. But ever since i have gotten my 240 ive been really lucky. I ran the canyons one night and the speed limit in the canyon was 35 and i didnt think there were gonna be any cops there. so im going like 65 and there was a cop behind a bush but he didnt pull me over. There were many other times i have sped past cops but have never been puller over.

Last summer, while driving to Panama City, Florida, from San Angelo, Tx, I had a headlight go out on me. I swear I must have gotten pulled over 10-12 times during my trek there. Never got a citation, I guess I met alot of nice officers that night.

I got stopped by a lady cop at 3am on a dark country road in GA.

And I did it to her...

Right there on the hood of her car...

With her partner sitting in the front seat...

When I had my accident I got 3 points and a $175 fine for failure to reduce speed to avoid collision. I was stopped at a stop sign making a left turn, gave a little too much gas, panicked like the rookie I was, and wrecked. If you ask me there is no "failure to reduce speed" in that. The officer INSISTED that I ran the stop sign, but if I had the results would have clearly been much more catastrophic. Before its over, he gave me a sobriety test and tried to search my car (which was funny to watch because neither door would open and the windows were only like 8 inches high.)

I bought my 240 from a police officer's wife (he owns a '91 FB.) I went a long time without seeing him, I thought he wouldn't recognize it because of the body kit and all. One day Im driving and a cop comes up behind me with lights on so I pull over, KNOWING that I did nothing wrong (scared the crap outta me any way.) It was the guy I got the car from, he said I passed him and he recognized me and wanted to check out what I have done to it. Very cool guy.

ya, I don't know how you guys get warnings. It might as well be a law here that no one under the age of 30 gets a warning, unless your a crying girl (no offense, it works like a charm ). I got pulled over by an unmarked for e-braking in a wet parking lot, cop held me for over an hour in the pouring rain, making me get in and out of my car cause he didn't wanna get wet. Guy was pretty irritable, like he hated his job and wanted to punish anyone he could, I ended up with a careless ticket. Ended up with 10 hrs community service with no record of ticket or fines whatsoever, except court costs.

That brings up a point, I think empty/deserted parking lots are actually the MOST dangerous place to try things. I mean, if you are going to do it on a piece of asphalt the size of a football field you could just as well do it on the 2-lane highway on a blind curve. I can really understand why cops are so harsh on parking lot offenders./sarcasm

LOL

Well, when I first bought my 240 last year, the place I ordered my custom exhaust from got delayed for 2 weeks....which delayed me getting my tag + emissions done...which made my car un-registered.

When I finally get my piping, Im HEADED TO THE EHXUAST PLACE to get my exhaust put on (then immediately I would go get emissions and then a tag), then some ***holes wouldnt let me over...so I speed up to get over for a turn and the next thing I know the cop is on my tail pulling me over. He got me for going 54 in a 45 (9 over...no kidding), so while he was at it, he got me for having an un-registered car was well. Was $150 and didnt go on my record.

Last august I got pulled over for "Failure to yeild to traffic device". There was a "No left turn" hanging where I turned (which I had done several times before without noticing). A week later, they had removed the sign and its never been back up since. Cop was a real d!ck. I pleaded no-low contendo (or however you spell it) and it was $167 with nothing on my record.

LOL! I have a friend that avoided FOUR tickets within a couple of months driving a '79 Mustang (V8 302, Indy pacecar model). He got out of one of them by pouring a drink on his lap before talking with the officer.

got pulled over 84 in a 45 cop and expired tag(by 1 day), at the time my alternator was gone so of course the cop told me to kill my car, then proceeded to search looking for drugs. When he came up empty handed he told me i was free to go. But oh my car won't start... does the friendly cop give me a jump to get me on my way?...no he leaves me on the side of the road for 3 hours. Anyway when the ticket came through lost my liscense for 6 months. I have many many other horror stories could tell about the police in Lee county GA but its late and I don't want to get angry before I go to bed...to make a long story short hate cops

in semi order1) I used to drive past a state troopers house on my way to and from school. One morning i was running late and doing about 70 in a 45 (all back country roads are like this everyone literally drives 70) . I see him just start leaving his driveway as I'm flying by. I kinda notice and just keep going. Make a turn bout a mile later see lights in the rearview...he pulls me over gives me a talkin to including the words "I don't like giving tickets to teenagers" and lets me off with a warning.

2)same road different cop...officer " i clocked you at 59 the limit is 45"me "sorry officer i didn't realize i was going that fast I should have been paying more attention"officer "where you headed"me "school"officer "o you go to one of those private schools. Do you konw casey chaptman I fish with his dad"me (pulling this outta my ***) "yes sir hes a good buddy of mine..."officer "well then, you gotta slow down son i should write you a ticket for this. Tell casey Joe says hello"

3) ticket for 52 in a 45 also got pulled over right in front of my brothers high school at release time...so many kids laughing.

4)on the way home from doing something (certain profitable activities frowned upon by society) in my moms accord. Got pulled over by 2 cops at once for expired tags. Scared the crap outta me.

5)wreckless driving. Cop says "if i wasn't an officer of the law that woulda been funny" (got my van airborne on a country road hill crest only to find a cop on the other side

6) ticket for excessive display of horsepower. Accidentily (scouts honor i wasn't trying at all) for drifting around a wet left turn. I was really only trying to make he corner on my bald as hell tires after i started to slide. Cop was a tool called me a traitor for driving a nonamerican car and then wrote me the ticket and actually looked my car over for anythign else to write up and gave me **** about a bent license plate

7)120mph on the new york state thruway coulda run for it but figure already in hot enough ****. New York state trooper...comes stomping up starts yelling at us then says "alright i wanna hear it: what in the ^(*$@#*%@#&)@ where you two doing? Honest answer was tuning the car (built turbo talon with a Tec3) we start explaining and he is kinda lookin around the car. Then he completely interrupts us, "are you gentleman RIT students?" we replied in the affirmative and he launches into this long schpeal about how he enjoys coming over on weekends to watch the Formula Teams test. I happened to be wearing a formula SAE shirt. On the spot i ask him if he wants it, he says sure. I take it off give it top him and we drive away unticketed.

I just got a ticket tonight going 45 in a 25. There is about 100 yards of 25 zone becuase there is a business and one neighborhood street, then it turns to 45. So of course i speed up to 45 in the 25 zone. Cop pulls out and pulls me over. I know they must sit there all night and pul people over even though it isnt dangerous to go that fast there. I should take it to court.
