So what's the stupidest thing you've been pulled over for?

[Rane_kn]

OK KIDS HERE WE GO

So I was out getting some cruizin' time tonight (it's kinda my thing to get away from daily problems) and I decided to munch down some Mcdonalds. So I continue to drive and munch and decide to check out some of the new shops and apartments going up by the college...exciting right? Just then! I get pulled over, couldn't be for speeding cuz i was going 25 in a 30 and my tail lights are good and i was already done eating so no james bond swerving...the cop says the plastic cover on my license plate is obscuring the letters. totally bogus.

So as I'm rummaging through my glove box a philly falls out...no questions im clean...and the cop asks if i had any illegal items on my person...obviously no...and asks what the "SEEDS" were in my lap (dun dun dun) "Sesame seeds from the mcdonalds I was eating earlier I still have my soda" doesnt buy it. Insists I step outta the car he pats me down searches my entire car and rights me a ticket for my plate being obscured and my tints being to dark!

WTF brosif I got frisked because of some F*@%# sesame seeds?

Crime for being a messy eater? Justified Frisking? You be the Judge!

[Audi S4 Turbo]

Mine must be when I was driving and I was at a light and I noticed next to me was a cop. I just looked over at him and nodded, and the light turned green and I proceed and he pulls me over. He made some excuse for pulling me over because I know they cannot pull you over for looking over at someone. But I think he thought I was doing or had something illegal and thought I was being suspicious. Just an excuse to check my registration and my license. haha

4/20 bro...

That cop must have been a dumb motherfcker...

[Rane_kn]

wow I've been cooped up in my house all day working I completely forgot it was 4/20!! No wonder the seeds and philly looked so suspicious

[Jesse S.]

This is when I lived in TX.

I passed a state trooper on an access road, because he was driving extremely slow. As soon as I pass he jets behind me, and high beams me a few times. I'm like thinking to myself WTF?! He then turns his lights on and I pull over without hesitation. I turn my car off and roll the window down as he walks towards my car. Doesn't say anything and just asks for my license and registration. He sees my HI drivers license and begins to talk about living in HI. We talk for about 5-10 min about when I was there and all that has changed since he last lived there. After this semi-long talk he tells me I need to replace one of the light bulbs in my license plate light because its out. He let me off with a warning and I went on my merry way to the nearest checkers.

[RogueStatus]

not me but friend of mine was pulled over for "unnecessary use of foglights" at night time in his s4. cop said theres no fog out so he got a written warning for it haha.

[RuS4ty]

wow Rane, that cop was really digging for something.


Nothing crazy here, except for getting pulled over for doing 6mph over on the interstate in Montana (where they used to not have speed limits). I thought that was kind of bogus.

[joemomma]

I got pleennttyyy of these heres a good one. My cousin, a friend and I were coming home from a fun night of spending quality time with some females . So we took some back roads through ridgefield CT so we could get home a little quicker since it was pretty late. I come to a stop sign near a church and spot a cop just hanging out. So i continue to proceed slowly but surely. Next thing i know he turns out. Im thinking to myself self o great what now?! Sure enough lights on. I pull over and patiently wait. Cop comes up asks what i we were doing out so late we told him we were in Danbury visiting some friends. Next he runs all of our licenses. A couple minutes later another cop shows up for back up. after checking on us i get the "sir do you mind if we check you guys and your car?" Since i know i dont have anything bad on me i say go right a head. He searches me im good, searches my cousin hes good, then he searches our friend who had a huge knife on him but the cop didnt even pay attention to it just asked why he had it but he did tell the cop before he even got searched. So after they go through the car and finish with us they proceed to tell me the reason why they stopped us and searched the vehicle was because my car matched a car that was hitting mail boxes and knocking them down.

[AMC]

one out of the 4234872389074 times i was pulled over was when i was PARKED, i was hanging out with my friends in a parking lot for not even 5 minutes untill one of my town cop buddies (complete dickheads and love pullin me over) drives his car right behind me with his lights on i go up to him and ask if he needs anything and he walks at my car looks around and noticed my rear tires are comming close to being bald (my mustang) but he also sees that i have the new tires in the rear seat of my car and its a sunday, so hes goin to write me a ticket but im there sayin listen officer its sunday i cant get them done right now ok i just got the tires and im waiting fo tomorrow, showed him my badge, stil la dick gives me a ticket and i get the new tires on, fight it obviously win it cause it was written unsafe driving or some bullshit and it was a moving violation

another one was from when i got pulled over for doing "69 mph" on a 45 which i knew was bullshit cause i had my cruise control on at 50mph i knew it wasnt off by that much (my mustang) and hes a complete dick i kno this cause hes my neighbor always tried to give me shit and will pull me over i nmy mutang everytime he sees it or any other town cop where i live.. anyways i cant find my damn insurance card and ask if i can get out and look and i open up my trunk and starts askin why i have VHS tapes in my trunk and wants to search the whole car im tryin to tell the asshole that i work for a tv studio and those are tapes that i use with work well i find it he still tickets me i fight it and win once again

out of the countless times ive been pulled over in my town every single one was dismissed and i was free to go and no i wasnt workin for the gov for most of it so no help there lol cause i kno u canadian bastards will call me a nazi but yea i have more but its to early and i have to work

[BastardS4]

I got yanked because i slowed down to try to read a street sign on an unlit country road.

followed me for 10 km. tailgated me for 2. Then FINALLY pulled me over for a "routine traffic stop"

But he couldnt fine any bullshit to ticket me for so he had to let me go.

asshole.

[s4nicetry]

I was driving around downtown one night with some friends many years ago and some cop starts tailing us around, everywhere we went he was following closely behind so were driving by this main bar strip see some friends and give a honk to wave to to them. Cops lights come on get pulled over so the cop comes up and asks for license etc. so I ask why I'm being pulled over he says for honking and I call bullshit. So the cop comes back with a ticket for "unnecessary honking of horn" and shows me this law in his little lawbook or whatever, your not allowed to honk unless it's an emerg. situation, fvcker!

[Sleeeper X]

I was pulled over because the cop wanted to check if my car was stolen.

[tike0rz]

Since front tint is illegal in NJ, I got pulled over 6 times in two days by separate cops of the same county! I got a ticket the first time and told the cop that I'd have it removed. I had it on my car for longer than 7 months. Apparently they have no communication with eachother.

Another time I was parked at a bank at the ATM, and a cop blocks me in at the rear and asks for my license, registration and whatnot for no apparent reason. He said he got reports that I was speeding and driving recklessly. Just another day in NJ I guess.

[sweed]

Around July 4th last year. I was back home and driving down a main steet that splits into 2 lanes at a light. I was in the right lane and a cop was in the left lane. light tuns green and I take off slowly to let the cop merge first. He doesn't go too fast and then he slows down like he was going to turn left up ahead. so I start going and merge into thr lane fine. 1.3 miles later (I checked later lol) he pulls me over saying I passed on the right. lol.
ok I had my own lane and passed. so I appealed an won. I didn't break the white line because I had my own lane. So now, just in case, I don't pass on the right while someone turning even if I have plenty of room and cars are flying around past me and honking. lol

[nizmosx]

yea i got one of these.

8-9 years back when i had my 240sx s13, i was hanging out at the block of orange in CA. My buddy happened to park accross the lot and as i was walking to my car, he called me and told me to be carefull because there is a cop coming my way in the parking lot. So i just walk slow to my car spot the cop and get into my car. i hang out for a little and when he is pretty much OUT OF MY SIGHT. i start up my car. low and behold the cop makes a u-turn and comes back for me. i didnt even move out of my spot he blocked me in by parking behind me. He asks me for my license and reg and he gets to the ticket part. HE comes up to me and tells me are you sure this car is an 89. yes i tell him, he proceeds to tell me i am lying and that my car is too nice and new looking to be a 1989 and that it is most likely a 1998. After about ten mintutes of bickering back and fourth i get 6 tickets.

no front plate
inner wear on tire
fast blinker (yes he made me check my blinker)
one windshield wiper (dont ask)
car too low
loud exhaust

the reason i got pulled over is that when i fired up the car, it was really loud which made him come back, it was an insanely loud setup which lead to the sale of my car.

[AK1RA07]

Back when I lived in NJ and had an Integra, I was stopped and written 4 tickets while doing the speed limit. Pulled into a quick check to get some milk and came out to:

1) Exhaust too loud
2) Exhaust too loud
3) Front turn signals "not amber enough"... cop thought they were red, asked me why I had flashing red lights on my car, and when I was going to pull him over.
4) License plate unclear.. I was missing 1 screw in it and was clocked about 2deg.

Profiled. Lame.


Another fun time was when I was driving my Talon, again in NJ and got stopped while on the way to pay a ticket for no inspection, which I apparently had a warrannt for, I was stopped about 1/4 mile from the courthouse and the cop was pretty cool about it and actually said he would let me pay for it on the spot. So he let me walk across the street to a bar and use the ATM and wrote me up a recipt But about 5 mins down the road, I pass another cop and the guy busts a U-turn to come chase me down. He gets up to the window all proud and chest thumpin, thinkin hes gonna take this punk ass kid to jail for driving with outstanding warrants. Nothing better than ruining a cop's ego flashing that paper to him.. His face just went from to Greatness.

Yet to be pulled over in the S4. **Knock on wood**

[jeproks]

I bought my car from Arizona and drove it all the way to Maryland. I have a temp tag mounted on the inside of the rear windshield that was attached by the dealer. While driving to Baltimore, 2 really young staties pulled me over and both of them came over and started lecturing me right away why the hell I didn't mount the temp tag on the rear plate holder because it is MD law. I told them that I bought the car from AZ and that is a AZ temp tag and not a MD. I told them to go look at the tag closely but they didn't bother and gave me a ticket. Got my court summon and they both attended. Showed the judge the temp tag that specifically says "Place on inside rear lower right corner windshield". She didn't even asked dumb and dumber what they were thinking, she dismissed it right away.

[2k1audiS4]

I got pulled over for not having my front plate on. Got a warning because I told them i had just got the tags and havnt had a chance to put the front tag on. The cops just need to get off our backs so we can .

[Das General]

Last week I got pulled over for accelerating too fast. But get this...he didn't do it based on seeing my car accelerate, as he was around the corner and couldn't see my car, he said he *heard* me with my exhaust.

I laughed when he told me that. Needless to say, I did not receive a ticket.

[tomlafS4]

Bought my S4 back in December of '06 when I was home on leave and headed straight to the tint shop. After getting it limo'd out (stupid move on my part), I was pulled over 2 days later for the tint.

The cop asked me why I thought I was allowed to have such a dark tint on my window, so I told him that I had just bought the car private party and that the previous owner had them on that dark. Showed him the temp title/registration, bought the story and let me off with instructions to get them removed ASAP. Ended up getting pulled over 3 times for the tint in the span of a month

[ChumbaWumba]

being asian on a friday night.......seriously....they were looking for an asian in a red car...i fit the bill apparently...but when i got out...me being 6'4"...apparently i wasnt the average asian they were looking for...go about my way...thinking wtf

[RxDlr]

I got pulled over two weeks ago for having tints on my front windows. As the cop comes over to ask for my license and INS, he checks the rest of my car and proceeds to tell me that I have no front license plate, I was speeding and I had my view obstructed (I have two crosses on my rear view mirror) so basically this cop was trying to tell me that it was illegal to have crosses hanging off your mirror. Needless to say he let me off everything but my tints, prick

[Rane_kn]

Thats funny I've never been pulled over while parked, actually I'm pretty sure this is the first time I was pulled over for something other than speeding or reckless driving..hhmmm ph yeah and I'm off to get my tints taken down and replaced again! my boy does it for free if we get tagged for hit

[Boris]

Man I swear, most cops are such twits.

Alot of times, what they want, without even knowing it is to be in control, and to be supreme to you.

SO I make it easy, yes officer no officer, and I noticed when I give them real good respect they generally just let me go on my way.

Not saying you didnt, its a pain in the ass that they can just come into your life and waste your time, but what can you do.

[Rane_kn]

Man I swear, most cops are such twits.

Alot of times, what they want, without even knowing it is to be in control, and to be supreme to you.

I agree 100% all the times i've ever been stopped or even questioned for other things I was yes sir no sir. I was in JROTC and almost enlisted untill i realized where i'd end up so I know all about that control syndrome bs. It just gets me that 30 mins on the side of the road were for sesame seeds

[FrimmelNoJerz]

being black.

[smithm5]

i pulled up behind a cop at a light in the city, one block away from the Police Station. Light turns green and he goes a lil a pulls over, and i pass him. He then turns on his lights and pulls be over (50ft form his garage, which he pulls in after ticketing me) and gives me a no front plate ticket and no ins ticket (just didnt have printout with me)

he then pulls to garage, and i pull to my parking garage on the next block....

While im pulled over with windows down, one of the attendants from my garage walks by and yells "damn man, so close"

both tickets got dropped when i went to court.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

I was pulled over because the cop wanted to check if my car was stolen.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hahaha

[AudiA4_20T]

when I had my permit I was switching places with my mom in a parking lot and a cop "pulled me over" and made me show my permit and shit and then said "have a nice day" and left

[BlueturboS4]

40 in a 35 and the cop told me to fight it and filled the ticket out wrong so i could get off. said he had to show he was pulling people over and giving tickets.

[2ndEngineS4]

being black.

Since when? WTF dude. I thought you were Jewish.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

Since when? WTF dude. I thought you were Jewish.

yea im black and jewish...call me Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. Jr.

[ABL2point0T]

Every time I have been pulled over it was because I was being a moron. Even if the cops are assholes for profiling, it works more often than not. You only hear about the few that are profiled and let go. The people who get busted with guns/drugs/bombs who go to jail can't complain to anyone because they were breaking the law, but got pulled over because they triggered something in the cops head.

This doesn't mean I like cops, they are still dicks.

[S4 in_lowplaces]

i was doing 100mph in a school zone. But the kids where still in school ..... what a dick cop

[Borden]

got pulled over becuase squirel shrapenel was hanging and got a very long speech on how it is dangerous to have something haning from the bottom of the car, agreed with everything the cop said, got out and said that it was part of the squirel that i hit this morning and that there was no way to avoid it, pulled it out and he said i could go(he looked a little disgusted)

[csre9]

Was in Northern Va this past Saturday...got off on the wrong exit and was on the Gw parkway...saw a place that looked like you could turn around at..I come up and theres a no U turn sign..and straight ahead a cop just waiting to get on the Highway from some Police National Park lala place and I'm like damn I know hes going to sit and watch to see if i make a U-turn..So I just go across the road into this parking lot of this police place where he was leaving.
I look to my see if hes pulled away and his reverse lights go on...I'm like oh great because my temp tag was a day expired...he blocks me in the space and gets out of the car with his hand on his gun like hes pursuing some fugitive and tells me my tag is expired. I say yes sir i have my new one in the back seat..I show it to him and he says well you cant have two tags...I explain him the situation and then after telling him where I'm going,for what,where i live,why I'm in the area,what kind of car it is he asks is this even your car....

[JackalS4]

i was doing 100mph in a school zone. But the kids where still in school ..... what a dick cop

Bahaha...cops these days!

[eliTTe]

my mother always said, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything... so because of that I guess I shouldn't get involved in this topic, lol I have very strong feelings for cops and there not good ones

[Fabelhaft]

ok...I believe I hold the record, well, at least around my area, which is Richmond/Vancouver BC...
I got pulled over 8 times in 3 weeks...
guess what, my car wasn't lower, it just looked like it was...
10000K headlight wasn't on yet...
Eisenmann race wasn't on yet...
no tint...
and no speeding, just driving normally...
the only reason I think it's reasonable is....my car is silver w/ black rims...it's easier to see!
theres 1 time out of the 8 I think I deserved it...cuz...I roll around without....my rear bumper~LOL
PS: I roll around like that for about 3 days, then just a day before my new rear installed, I got pulled~hah
OVERALL, guess what, no ticket, 3 weeks, 8 times, not a single ticket!
I got 7 warnings tho...lol

[Ber\/ani]

i got pulled over when i was driving my 65 ford falcon because the cop wanted to check out my car, he said he used to have one in high school
