Alright, most of us have been pulled over by the police....but what was it for?

This is the first time I have been pulled over by the police.....and a state trooper at that! Ok, heres the story:Im out on my daily drive, taking the car out on it's weekend cruise, knowing that my brakes are loud and squeaking and need fixed, and in one week, my mechanic said he should have an opening for me to get them changed, and I see a state trooper car go by me going in the opposite direction, then, I look in my rearview mirror, and see him make a wide "U" turn and come up behind me on my backside, and im looking at my speedo, doing the speed limit, keeping it at that, and then as I enter the north-side of town as I just got off of river-road(highway) and he turns on his lights and siren, and then I go"Oh brother, here we go", so I pull along side the road, roll down my window, and he asks for my license and I hand him my permit, he looks over it and says"ok", and says"do you know why I am pulling you over"? i say"no", he says"well, your car is sounding loud and it don't look like you have an extension pipe from the muffler to the bumper," and I said"I'll have it fixed ASAP, but I have a cherry bomb muffler at home that I was going to have put on...." and he said"as long as you have an extension from the muffler back, you'll be fine". So after that as I left the road, I wondered how cops can be stupid sometimes.
A cherry bomb muffler will be WAY LOUDER than what's on there. Notice, he said my car was a little loud, and what the heck is that all about?o No: I thought for sure he would pull me over for my breaks squeakin!:af: :rant: They are louder than my muffler! Im sorry if im grinding myself here, im just trying to vent myself here. Can you remember when you got pulled over for the first time? What was it for if you can remember?

Get used to it, I get pulled over all the time for driving vintage cars.

 

77 in a 55 in IL....

pulled over by a purple Camaro:moonu:

 

I hate to admit it, but I was pulled over in Texas back in 1983 for doing 140+ in a 55. I was in the Army at the time and it cost me every dime I had in my pocket. Ahh, youth and stupidity.

 

Hmmm, lets see....

55 in a 25 (yikes!)
88 in a 65
Unlawful squealing of tires
Failure to obey a traffic signal
Drag racing
56 in a 35

I got 3 in one month back in 1997ou:

Oh well, I'm a cop now, so things have changed. But I hardly ever write tickets, I hate those things!

 

It's not about tickets these days. The U.S. Constitution is becoming more and more obsolete everyday. Either you're with us or you're against us, freedom is dead.

 

I got one in Penn on I 84 for 130mph ina 65,i was in my eagle talon turbo. that one cost 250.00 smackers.

 

-When I was 16- 72 in a 25.
-Myself and my Portuguese friend- 5 cop cars, 10 cops for a 'crooked license plate'.
-Same friend- pulled over because he looked like 'Lightning Legs' and I looked like "Joe'- I guess local criminals???
-22- 87 in a 55- waved hi to the trooper siting in the breakdown lane.
-No reason given- 4 young punks in a sh*tbox in a nice neighborhood.
Those were the ones that stick out in my mind... My favorite is the license plate deal.

 

I forgot to add, there was cops out all over this weekend. One, today, was following me for a-ways down alongside the mississippi river front, and I thought for sure he would be the one to pull me over, and then I drive away from there and end up being pulled over by a state-trooper!:rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: Money is something I don't have too much of, what do they want me to do, do a frame-off resto with about 130 bucks?o No:

I guess some cops musta been bored today!

Here in Oregon if you get caught going 120 in a 65 ..your going to jail . Bob

 

Here in Iowa, I think you would probably get a large fine and get your license jerked away for a-long time.

Speeding
speeding again
speeding again
speeding again

guess there's kind of a trend there, but NO tickets (knocking on wood loudly)

 

One ticket for tinted windows which started out as speeding but the cop liked my ride so he gave me a break.

You guy's must love it when they drive slow and hold up traffic.

I remember a time when a cop went flying by me and i was a little ticked off by it , so i caught up to him and stayed on his tail until he got to his station, we hit 100+ mph. I thought for sure i was going to get a ticket but nothing happened. I was 20 at the time.

I was driving a 74 Pontiac Catalina with a busted out rear glass and a smashed up front winshield. I bet he thought i was crazy or something.

 

Speeding 3 times (42 in 25-ticket, 36 in a 25, told the truth "I didn't realize I was going that fast, I thought I was going 30" 'You do know that 30 is over the 25 limit?' "yes" 'Ok, don't drive so fast'.-no ticket, 41 in a 25-ticket along with citation for "causing motor vehicle tires to squeal"), that last one was also my "doubled ticket" since I'm under 21 with these new laws, one more ticket, even for parking in the wrong place, will get my license taken away until november. I also got a "check or ticket" for my old truck, the cop follows me and since I only had my license for less than a month, I'm freaking out and *almost* turn the wrong way on a one-way street so he pulls me over a block later and after a REALLY long time (during which I, and the cop, find out that wisconsin uses farmer plates with the same number as regular plates), he gives me a "you exhaust is too loud" and I'll get get a big ticket for it unless I fix it and bring it to the police station for him to determine if it's loud anymore. $80 And a saturday later, I take it to the police station and he say's it's ok, at which point he also says "I really pulled you over because there was a little smoke coming out of your tailpipes"..wtf?!? He couldn't tell me that BEFORE I redid the exhaust??

 

drunk, but the leaking fuel in my yet to be rebuilt buick overpowered the smell and pretty much warded off the sherriff. a good one for the grandkids i tell ya.

 

I was pulled over once because the cop liked my car and wanted to chit-chat. I was flattered and irritated at the same time. I also got pulled over for my vanity plates which read 455 CID and in North Dakota all plates have the letters first and then the numbers so he thought I had counterfit plates.:spank:

 

I'll say that every time I've been pulled over, I deserved a ticket

But my favorite was when I was "Playing" with some POS ricer... We had been trading spots on the road for a while... then he got in front of me at a light (4 lane rd)... well, he took off just fast enough to pass the car in the left lane... but slow enough to Pi$$ me off (intentionally no doubt)... So I did a quick lane change, while flooring it (were doing about 40 by now in a 50 zone)... the car kicks down a gear... Tires break loose in the middle of the lane swap... But end slides all out on me... going way left, I over correct then go way right, Let out of it.. get her straight, then Back to the floor. Speedo Pegged 85 long before I noticed that white explorer behind me(I just started to let off to coast it down)... All I could think was "gee... that guy must be in a hurry".. up untill the lights came onou: ou: ou: BTW... ricer boy passed by and I heard him laughing as he went on...lol. I wish I could tell him I didn't get ticketed...

Now, I may have deserved a ticket for all the stops... But only ever got one.... for speeding on the HWY... 89 in a 70 driving my moms RED Alero:blast: :blast:

 

115 in a 35
86 in a 45
79 in a 25

No tickets for those!

Got a ticket for 48 in a 25 while I was in college.

 

I was stopped on my way to a BCA national meet in TN by a cop that looked like Barney Fife. He stopped me for 52 in a 35 zone. The signs were close together, and a truck and trailer were on my tail, but I was driving an orange 72 GS convert with MI plates. It cost me $100 . I was also stopped in Louisville KY by a nice motorcycle cop. He pulled me over in my 64 wagon and said" I know there must be an explanation, but did you know your plates expired in 1964?"I explained to him about the year of manufacture plates, and showed him the paper work, and he let me go.
I also got nailed in Nebraska in my 57 Special that is on an Electra chassis ( with the 455) I was messing with a guy and the cop came over the hill and got me. $110 later ,I was on my way

o No: o No: o No: o No: o No: o No:

 

I had the 72GS out on Saturday afternoon. Was rumbling down the side street at about 30mph going to the post office, and one of the village police gave me a thumbs up going the other direction. The cops aren't all stick in the muds.
