[hazardous240]

ok i was wondering who has had the worst experience getting a ticket or being cought up by the cops? either racing or doing anything else?

this happened to my friend he HAD a 96 240, ok one night we hit up the local races at long beach/ carson area. everything was going fine till the cops showed up and ended all the fun. so then as we hopped on the freeway going back home a car starts coming up quick, so my friend punches it and takes off on him. not even knowing what kinda car it was. then the car high beams us then before we knew it was a cop on our *** the whole time. we were doing about 100 or so when the red and blue came on. so we pull over. and there came 3 more cop cars. They impounded his car and arrested him. and luckly they let me go but not before scaring the crap outta me. so i think this was the stupidest thing anyone can do. and they didnt even give him the chance to take his car out of the impound, they auctioned it off in a month after removing all of his "illegal upgrades". this to me was the worst experience ever (and i was going to take my car too, thank god i didnt):D

Piggies?

I'll assume you're not aware of the company you keep here at NICO.

You're right, street racing is stupid.

I had just swapped the my cefiro form NA at to turbo 5 and was out driving like a nut and I got zapped and pulled over. I was going 95 in a 60!! I did not get a ticket, I had go and see the SJA in my chucks ( I was active duty) then to the Japanese prosecutor. He said 50000en! I said IItai!!! The best part is I did not louse my drivers license. I should of!!

[JESTER]

Uh oh, big brother is watching...

But seriously, why would you "punch it" after police intervention. If I encounter any cop, that's just an added reminder to stay alert, dont get careless, and not let your guard down, especially when theyre near.

[hazardous240]

sorry:oface:D

[hazardous240]

sorry but whats up with that word? am i missing something here?

[JESTER]

Check your other thread for my answer to that one.

[hazardous240]

ok, sorry about that. it will never happen again.so any more stories?........

[JESTER]

Okay here is a story.

March 2001. I bought a Suzuki SV650. Fun little bike. I had been out riding one night and was heading back home. It was pretty cold so I was going a little fast. I blew past a Deputy sitting at a church. Of course I never saw him. He had heard a Mustang coming his way and set up his radar. Of course the Mustang cuts it back just before he got to the church. But I didn't.

It took him about four or five miles to catch up with me and actually pulled me on the road I live on. I had passed a car in a no passing zone in an area the deputy couldn't get around it. Hell I even stopped for a stop light that had just started to turn yellow. I would not have done this if I knew he was back there. It is just silly to stop if you have a few miles lead on someone.

But he pulls me, and I step of the bike and walk back to the patrol car. He's like, "Marty, what in the hell are you doing?" I was like, "Going home, it's cold out here." He told me he clocked me at 88. I am like,"good!" Because I was doing triples after I passed that car. Of course I didn't tell him that.

Boy was it cold that night.

I think cops go a little over board on all the imports. Don't hate on my car just because it has neon underlights and strobe lights. I was parked at boyfriend's moms house and my car was facing the main street but pretty far off where it wasnt harming anyone. I had my turqouise street glow gold series underbody's on and my strobe lights. I never drove with them on just when I was parked. My boyfried spots the po-po circling the block and says he will drive. We truned the lights off and were on our merry way home. When the five oh turns on his lights and pulls us over. He says do you know why I pulled u over, we said no .He said because you have blue lights under your car, I said they are green damnit. They are nowhere near blue. He made us turn them on and then called another officer over as we told him he may be color blind as they are blue. The other po-po comes over and says their blue before we even turn the lights back on. We went to court and fought it, we got the ticket knocked down. My problem is that the cops should be worrying about other problems such as crime than my poor little car with turqouise lights under it. They made us take them off the car and put a stop operation of the vehicle. Since then I reinstalled them on my new 240. Oh well just my long story on how the cops descriminate on imports because they think they are all "fast and furious"

[SmithSR]

Maybe God is tired of killing a kitten every time you turn your neons on??

[98TURBOKA]

I have way to many stories to choose from. I just wanted to agree about the better things to worry about statment, why mess with such stupid little things, when there are bigger fish to fry. You always here about the city being to under staffed to deal with problems, quit pick'n at little sh*t and deal with the real crimes!!!!!

[89240sx]

too many cops.... not enough crime

[aznromeox]

Did the other car just try to do anything like get you into a race. REvviiing engine, cutting you off... if so thats entrapment. ;9

o well

I was going to my friends house a few weeks ago with one of my friends. he was in his mazda pickup. anyway, we're going down the the middle lane of the access road next to the highway (183 for those of you in austin). we're going the speed limit, 50, and he decides to pull in to the right lane and try to pass me. I let him get about next to me before I dropped to 3rd to smoke him. I hit 85 and decide to slow down, 'cause cops are known to hide around where I was going. as soon as I start to slow down, I see a cop right by the side of the road. he must not have been ready, 'cause all he did was flash his lights when I passes him at 80. still scared the crap out of me though. I thought he was gunna follow us.

[hazardous240]

no, my dumb *** friend just took off, not even knowing what was behind him. aznromeox.

The most interesting police officer experience I had was on the 405. I was heading south through Irvine in my 510 and doing between 85-110mph depending on how much open road I had and what not. I passed through Irvine and merged onto the 5 heading toward south Orange county. After about 5 miles on the 5 and lots of Pole Position-esque driving later, this minivan in front of me nearly locks up his brakes for no reason. I wasn't really mad, simply in driving mode so I do a quick look around to try to figure out what caused this guy to slow down so suddenly. That's when my eyes go to the rear-view just in time to see the CHP tuck in behind me and nearly rear-end me.

After the officer got out of the car and got his emotions under control, he explained to me that he had been following me in full pursuit mode, trying to catch up for the last 8 miles or so. He was completely pissed off, and spent 15 minutes going over all the little things on my car (turn singals, windshield wipers, brake lights, etc). I had to convince him that dual Weber's were a factory option on the 510, but other than that, I got away pretty cleanly. He was so busy pursuing me that he didn't have time to clock me on radar.

and they didnt even give him the chance to take his car out of the impound, they auctioned it off in a month after removing all of his "illegal upgrades".

How long exactly was it impounded? And for what charge was he arrested? Typically, when a car is impounded, the storage yard must hold the vehicle for at least the length of the impound required by the law. And then, if the car is not picked up, the storage yard can do a lien sale to recover the storage fees. If he did not remove the vehicle right away if the impound did not require a set amount of time, then the lien sale process can start as soon as the vehicle is there. The storage yard has some requirements to try and notify the owner of the intent of a lien sale.

As a note to everyone, if your car is ever in storage and you want to keep it, get it out the first chance you are allowed. Not only are you charged storage, but if your car is lien sold, then you eat the cost of the vehicle.

A couple of friends and i were hangon out at the local starbuck/car hangout when 4 fort worth cops roll in. They start taking up peoples licences's and crap. we walk out of starbucks to leave when i see another 240 roll in so i stop and talk to him. My friend walks over to his car and by the time i get to my car the cop is cuffing him and putting him n the back of a car. So i go tal kto the cop and ask why the hell is my friend in the backseat of a squad car and the cop says he was mouthing off. So i call my friends mom and she starts flippin out but i get her under control and she asks to talk to the cop and he says no because hes too busy writing trespassing tickets. Then this ******* of a cop tells me hes gonna arrest me if i dont leave him alone. So i call one of he counselos at our school who happens to be a constable and he calls one of the fort worth cops that works at my school and she gets my friend out but i was still scared and really pissed.

Then another time i was messin around with this girl down by the lake when a cop comes and tells us hes gonna arrest us for public indecency and crap but then he jkust says to leave I dont understand why just because hes not getting any action that he has to be a **** block

any ways sorry for the long post

My roommate and I were in his 90 Talon TSI AWD heading to the Tri-Cities area in Washington when we decided to see how fast it would go with his new transmission and some other mods. Well after we had it opened up for a couple of minutes we passed a Washington State Police car parked in the median. We were already slowing down by the time he hit his lights. When he came up to the window he asked my friend "Any reason you were going so fast?" My friend said "Well I guess everyone that owns a car like this has to open it up at least once in their life" the cop said "Well I guess that's fair enough but since I radared you at 158 I still have to give you a ticket." Also since he didn't have an insurance card with him the ticket came to $590. The cop told us we were lucky that he wasn't taking us to jail. Tons of fun.

C-Kwik well actually they did notify him, but they said that the impound fee was $800, plus all these other prices for all of his modifications.(which the total came out to be around $2,500 i think) so he didnt want to pay up and he let them auction it off. besisdes why would he want to pay so much just to get his car back bone stock! sad story but, **** happens.

[toki]

Couldn't he have busted out with the "for off road use only" story or something? I don't see how it could possibly be legal for a PD to remove items from your car even if it is in thier posesition. This is why I don't like many of the law enforcment agencies in America, a blatant abuse of the power the public gives them. If only the masses were educated then possibly there could be some change. but nooooo. Wouldn't it be interesting to see a SC case where a minor claims that the police don't have a legal baring on him because the police are legitimized by the publics agreement to a loss of some rights for protection, but since a minor has no say in that since they arn't "citizens", the police don't have jurisdiction over them since they havn't legitimized thier power?! I think it would. But that has nothing to do with getting a ticket heh.

What costs for his mods? What else are they charging for? Something seems really fishy to me...

[hazardous240]

they cited him for not having a catalic converter (which is a must here in cali) and i think that was the extra charge. I dont really remember for exactly what he had to pay for. this happened almost two years ago, so my memory is all kinda fuzzy. But all i know for sure is that, he didnt want to pay the fees. so they sold his car. and the was the end......

[Nathan]

I almost got arrested for indecent exposure one time...the cop told me that he had "seen my white ***", and I just said: "bull****, you couldnt see it through the seat and the dark tint" That pissed him off a bit but after a few minutes we were joking about it and he let me off without anything One of the few cops I've thought was a really decent person...I've found I like about 25% of them.

[theronin]

I got yall beat... i was coming home from getting my haircut on my day off... my friend was following behind me and we take a right onto greenback from sunrise. And as we are driving home through 1pm lunch traffic we get ready to stop and make a left onto Fair Oaks. A cop comes out of nowhere and lights up on us and tells us to pull over, so we proceed to and he begins to tell us that he saw us streetracing and that he was gonna give us tickets for speeding?! I look at greenback and look back at him and laugh a little and ask him the real reason he pulled us over! He says cause we were street racing and he guestimates we were doing near 60mph! i asked to see the radar, but he informed me that he didnt need a radar to give me a ticket based on a guestimate! so he proceeded to give me and my friend a ticket for 65 in a 45! No streetracing on the ticket (which was what he said he pulled us over for in the first place!) So i take the ticket to court thinking that the judge would understand that there was no say in Hades that we were doing 65 on greenback at 1pm. So he calls the officer to the stand and the officer proceeds to tell him that he was walkin out of a restaurant 1/8 of a mile away from the road we were on! and he hears our exhausts as we turned onto greenback from sunrise. the restaurant is a good 1/4 mile away from the intersection... and both our cars have stock exhausts?! he tells the judge that we were clearly streetracing and that is why he pulled us over. The judge asked him why he didnt make any note of the streetracing on the ticket if that was the reason he pulled us over and the officer didint give him an explanation. So he looks to me and says, well logan i will ask you one thing. how fast were you going? i said well your honor honestly i can not say, but i know for a fact that there is no way that anyone can ago 65 on greenback at 1pm! I know that i wasnt streetracing and he said thats why he pulled us over... doesnt that tell you anything your honor? He looked me in the eye and said this, well logan my ruling is this... by the letter of the law you are innocent of what you got the ticket for, but because you couldnt tell me how fast you were going im gonna let the ticket stay! Needless to say, i was floored! So i guess cops can just hear our cars and guess how fast we are going? UNBELIEVABLE!

[Onizuka]

i have this really funny story, ok here it goes. Ok so i was on the highway going slower than every car and i passed a cop and i didnt get pulled over. And then there was this other time that i wasnt speeding and i didnt get pulled over again. And just last week, i didnt peel out or do something stupid at a intersection and i didnt get pulled over.

yes sometimes you get screwed but 98% of the time its your own damn fault and you just make it worse for the rest of us. (im not talking about anyone inparticular)

[theronin]

he didnt want to know about those times... lol
