Bored - Cop Story

[Durkin]

Was reading some thread from last year about tickets and such, but didint see any threads about being pulled over for rediculous things... so i figured i'd start with my story from maine.

Was in Naples, Maine three years ago when I was leaving a causeway driving to the next town (Bridgton, i think) to get gas... it was night, around 2030 and raining, was in a '97 contour sport (i've never seen another, but yeah they exist hah) that was a weird tan/silver color, and all the cars around me were dark color trucks, SUVs, and darker cars, no.. silverish or lighter color cars at all..

Passed a cop on the side of the road with headlights on, no flashers, kept driving since i wasnt speeding and no indication of radar, wasnt concerned... a few miles down the road another cop car also on the side of the road with headlights on but no flashers, this one pulled out Right behind me..

wasn't speeding, no flashers, so i kept driving not concerened, then the second i put my blinker on to turn into the gas station i was flashed and pulled over about 20' from the gas station [rolleyes] ...

cop walks up, scans car with the unnecessarily large 6D cell maglight and asks for my license and regestration, i.. really didint know what my registration looked like, so i handed him a bunch of papers and he just stared at me, so i rummaged through them and he's like "thats it" and took it from me... looked at both, then at me, then back, and handed my papers and license back to me...

then came the questions:

(cop) "do you know why i pulled you over?"
(me) "... no.."
(cop)" I got a call about a car fitting your description that just left the causeway..."
(me) *........*
(cop)"... they were reported stealing a bucket of lobsters from charlies..."
*Charlie's was an upscale restaruant on the causeway*
(me)*.......[confused] ......*
(cop) *looks into back seats and scans my two friend's faces with maglight* "do you have any lobsters?"
(me) "What?!... No... "
(Cop) *shrugs* ".. I know.. no lobsters here... i'd smell them if you had them... "
(me) *blinks... a lot*
(my friend) "what if we sprayed them with febreeze?" (love smartasses haha)
(Cop) *scans my friends face with the maglight again as i just stare into my dash wondering what the hell just happened* "have a good night"

and he walked off...
so i had my license for about 4 months and i got pulled over for suspicion of stealing lobsters... i wish i got a written warning, i'd have framed that hah..

so yeah.. thats my story.. lets here any others out there...

i would if i could, was back when i lived in CT (New Milford) for you CT guys... i was just so cought off guard and confused beyond all recognition... Lobsters... figures .. haha Maine...

[loustylez]

he was either bored and wanted to fuck with you seeing you were from out of town (lobsters... maine... funny joke?) or he wanted to pull you over to see if you were drunk or something and just had a backup excuse if he didn't find anything.

regardless, i can't stand cops. goofy ass men in funny uniforms that want to make me pay hundreds of dollars for going "fast" but not once ever act concerned about anyone's safety.

it's never "you need to slow it down through that area there's a lot of people coming on that ramp usually blah blah blah"

it's always "do you know blah blah blah hold one just one second blah blah thank you sign here bye"

******s.

I got one:

my friends and I were cruising around with 4 cars (2 a4's, RSX, and an old skool Celica) we were going from a stop, up a hill in the middle of town, no cops in sight. we go up the hill and take a right onto a main road and all of a sudden, a cop gets behind us with his lights flashing, I am in the rear, the RSX in front of me, and the other a4 and celica in the front. we were going about 35 in a 30 so I dont know what we did wrong. cop pulls around me, so I slow down and let him pass...I figure he's gonna pull over my friend in his RSX for a loud exhaust or something...when he gets in front of me he slams his breaks on and jumps out of the car, I look behind me and there are 3 more cops, two pull up behind me, and one goes past to grab my friend in the RSX (the a4 and celica take off). Cops comes to my window:

cop: "lisence & registration"
me: "here...what exactly did I do wrong" (wondering why he slammed his brakes on in front of me a practically ran at my car)
cop: "estimated your speed at 45 back ther in a 30"
me:"Estimated?? I was going up hill and I never took it out of first" (it was like a 150 foot road)
cop: *walks to his car, comes back* "Im gonna take it easy on you and not ticket you for not wearing a seatbelt (in MA), here is your ticket...have a nice night"
me: I look at the ticket...$250 for speeding, $50 for Illegal exhaust, $100 for failure to pull to the right and stop for an emergencey vehicle

"are you fucking kidding me" I say to my girlfriend...as I look up, they are towing the RSX and he got a $250 ticket. 4 cop cars and a tow truck to give 2 tickets...

before I leave, I think about the "failure to pull to the right" and look out my passenger window...my tire is about 2 inches from the curb..."how the fuck did the guy manage to give me a ticket if I failed to pull over?!?!"

after all was said and done, I went to coart over it, and got everything dropped except for the exhaust...I hate cops

I got another one:

thia was about 3 years ago on halloween, I was comeing home in my Isuzu trooper and I car appeared behind me about 1/4 mile back, I noticed him, and went around a bend in the road...in about 3 seconds, that car was right on my ass (it wasnt a 3 second car...he had a starting roll from about 45mph) I was like "what the fuck?? kinda freaked me out, but I was right at my street, so I pulled onto my road and was 1 house away from mine, and the blues come on.

cop: "I got a report of a vehicle matching your description trying to cut down someones halloween decorations, it was a dark van type vehicle"
Me: "this is an SUV..." (I wasnt worried about being a wiseass, I already knew I did nothing wrong)
cop: "are you alone in the vehicle?"
its an SUV, you can see EVERYTHING IN IT!!!
Me: *I look around my vehicle* "umm.....yup..."
cop: "any cutting tools in the car?"
Me: *look around again...check under my feet* "...ummm...nope..."
cop: "where were you headed?"
Me: "to my house" *I point to the next house on the road*
cop: "ok, have a good night"
Me: *thinking* "what a dousche bag!"

I have so many stories. One inparticular, last summer I was driving my camaro and go to make a u turn in a school parking lot. Its about 10:30 at night and there is a group of kids hanging that start yelling "light em up." Needless to say I start blowing donuts. In the middle of this cloud of smoke of lights see blue strobes. [headbang] At this point I nearly shat myself! The cop pulls up:
cop: turn off the car and take the keys out of the ignition
me: o fuck, o fuck, o fuck, i'm going to jail
cop: what do you think you were doing
me: sorry officer I got caught in the moment
cop: license and reg, and why do you have a rejection sticker
me: uhh i think it is because of something with emissions, I need a new cat or something? (Thinking to myself because I have straight pipes lol)
regardless to say I was polite and apologetic and got let go with a verbal warning. Not all cops are bad. If you show respect towards them they will most likely show it back.

Agreed, the morning i rolled my contour.. the first cop to show asked if i was alright, gave me a blanket.. and let me wait in his car with the heat on full, and he was clearly sweating, but still did it because i was shivering... never gave me a ticket or anything, and when the ems showed *minor so EMS had to take me to the ER but i was fine* he flashed his lights, they drove by and he said "F*ckin' hell..." and i laughed.. so it wasnt entirely bad.. i walked away when i probably shouldn't have..

Another story was the weekend i moved from CT down here to SC... i was chillin' with some friends in winsted, CT and cops throught my friend's car was stolen, because his parents forgot to send him new insurance... 2 cops, one was basically interrogating my friend, the other was talking to me about random crap and the weather... my friend got real pissed when the cop and i were joking about the situation being the typical good cop/ bad cop...

I got pulled over in Irvine when I was driving a ricey eclipse once. The cop was in front, facing me at a red light. He makes a left, then a U-turn. Gets behind me and signals me over.

Cop:
Why did you flash your high beams at me?
me:
Sorry sir, I wasn't aware that this is the case.
Cop:
You do know that that won't change the light right?
me:
I've never heard that flashing a light will change it (truth, at least back then)

I should clarify, there was an older cop who was asking this questions and another rookie with him. At this point he walks back to his car, and from my rear view mirror I see them argue back and forth for about 5 minutes. Finally the younger cop comes up to me with a hugely embarrased look on his face and says "sorry I gotta write you a ticket..." It was a $150 "failure to dim headlights" ticket and a point on my license. Needless to say I went to court to fight it, but he showed up (rookie cop) and said "I think it happened" and that was that. They did give me $10 back for putting my license plate on the front though.
