Here are 2 silly stories

[Jersey Tahoe LT]

I was just thinking about all of the times I have been pulled over and was trying to remember the funny ones.  Well here are a few that really stick into my head.

 

1.  It was late one night and I was driving home from my friends house.  I was being a moron and I took a turn too fast and the rear wheels spun and made a loud noise.  I did this not realizing that there was a cop behind me.  I wasn't speeding so he really had nothing other than the noise against me.  This was when I had my 1967 VW Beetle.  It was all tinted and it had skate stickers all over it and what not.  I was all punk/skate rat/stoner look back then.  You know the Rediculously large pants that looked like womens Coolats (sp?).  And the oversized light chain necklace and Chain wallet.  Well anyway, I am just about out the town when his lights come on.  I am like "Darnit" and I pull over.  He comes up with his gun in his hand but it was still in the holster.  "Get out of the car with your hands up and place them on the hood." he said.  Then he looks through the car and asks if he can search the car.  I was all confsed and like "Ok go ahead."  I asked what this was about and he was like "aaha.  This is why."  He pulled out my registration and said "This car is stolen.  You are under arrest for stealing this car."  I am like "What?  are you kidding me right."  How can you say that.  He was like "I ran the plates and it came up saying it is registered for a red volvo."  I was like "No it is not officer.  Is there such a thing is a Volvo Beetle?"  And he replied the vehicle make says VOL.".  And I am like "ok, you never stopped to think that the VOL could stand for a Volkswagen."  Then he retaliated with "But it says that the car is red."  I then open the door and showed him that the car used to be red but it was repainted white.  He was like "Oh  Sorry for the confusiuon"  Then the back up arrived and he had to tell them why he was letting me go.         That was a great one.

 

2.  Same town as the last one.  I was driving my dads 1982 BMW 320i.  The suspension was shot on the car and would ride like a boat in waves over the smallest bumps.  Well I was driving over the rail road tracks and the car bounced all over the place.  Well after the next turn I had 2 police cars pulling me over.  I hit the curb as I pulled over.  they had me out of the car.  Gave me a sobriety test.  And asked if they could look in the car.  I said go for it.  So one Searched my pockets as the other looked in my car.  Now as far as I know police can not look in the glove box and or trunk without probable cause.  So the one officer in the car was fussing with the glove box and I saw him and politley said "Oh the Glove box is broken and stuck shut.".  He slowly pulled away like he wasn't near it.  Then they were issuing me a citation for Wreckless driving for Jummping the tracks.  Yes Jummping my car over the RR Tracks.  And hitting the curb.  A 8 pt. Ticket for something I didn't even do.  Well While he was writing my ticket I noticed the other officer trying to open my trunk as he was leaning on the back of the car.  I then again replied "The trunk is locked officer".  And again acted like he was doing nothing.  Well I ended up going to court and got no points but had to pay a fine of $300.  That one is more annoying than funny.

 

And Finally

 

 

3.  I was driving home from Classes at the County College.  I was on the Highway and noticed a police officer following me.  Again I was in the Beetle.  Well I was getting off of the highway to take the back roads home.  Well he kept following me.  He was a local cop not a state so at the end of the one road I made a left where he had to make a right.  I had a stop sign and he had a Yield.  He couldn't take his Eyes off of me.  He had the total experession like you are lucky you made a left you #### @(*^%(*&^@^%$#& Kid.  Well there was a blazer in front of him and I guess he thought it had left already.  He gives me one last dirty look and hits the gas.  Well as you may have guessed the Blazer was still there.  BAAAAAM!!!  He smashed the Blazer and pushed it about 3 feet  and the Bazer was still on the break.  Well she got out and saw it was a police officer and kinda laughed as was I.  Then she started yelling and I just drove off.  It really made my day but soon after relized that I left the scene of an accedent.   But then I figured How funny it was that the officer had to fill out his own accedent report And it was worth the ticket if I got one.  Which I never did.         So worth it.

 

Well those are my stories.  And yes they are all true.  Believe it or not.  I hope you enjoyed them.

Great stories, you must be a cop target or something :owned:

[95whtZR2]

I guess this can be the start of a police troubles thread ???

Well I will go ahead and share mine...

 

1. The first time I ever got intouble with the law was going down this road where the speed limit was 35mph. I was in my moms 93' Pontiac Grand am, that was a fun car, anyway, this truck is trying to pass me right before the frontage road entrance. Well I got up to 50mph, and he was still going strong, so I backed down, and let him pass. Next thing I know this cop is coming the other direction and turns around, so I am like, good he is pulling that @$$hole over. Nope, he pulls me over for going 15 over, but lets the dude that was going atleast 20over go    So I pull over and I am cussing all sorts of ways to myself. The cop comes up and asks, "So, where you in a hurry to get to tonight son?" this was at 7:30 pm... I said, oh I am in a huryy to get to the Auto Zone before it closes, for those of you who don't know, they usually close around 9-10 , so he says alright then, I will just let you go on a warning this time, but just try and slow down... I am like ok, cool, bye...

 

2. The second time I have gotten in trouble with the law, I was in my my moms car again, and apparently I pulled out in front of these two cars-it is a four lane road with a turn lane in the middle, two lanes going each way, on the same road as before, and cut them both off, and they slammed on their brakes skidding towards each other and hitting. Meanwhile I just drove off, and one of the cars leaves the scene to follow me, gets the license plate number then breaks the tail. The problem with "their story"... I ALWAYS look in my rearview when I pull out, just to make sure I didn't cut anyone off, NOONE WAS THAT CLOSE TO ME. Also, there was noone following me either, I am very conscious about what is behind me, and always look in my rearview. The lady that was following me said I was driving very reckless and fast. For one, I don't know of anyone who can drive reckless and fast over speed bumps(I was going through a parking lot), and I don't know anyone who could have stayed close enough to me to read the license plate when I am driving reckless and fast, without me noticing them. Anyway, a cop shows up at my grandparents door (I was on my way over there to do laundry) and explains the situation, and how he can take me to jail for leaving the scene of an accident, and all of his hokey BS... Apparently the lady leaving the scene to follow me wasn't leaving the scene of an accident, or the truck that she hit, when he left also, that wasn't leaving the scene of an accident... Yeah, I was pissed that they were making these accusations against me, when I know for certain that I didn't do any of those things. Well the lady apparently didn't want to press charges because she saw the firefighter sticker on the back of the car... but I know I have a good lawyer and her @$$ would have been grass if she wanted to go that route...

 

3. I was at a party that got busted, got an MIC (minor in consumption) of Alcohol... we were stupid, that is about all I will say about that, besides it was first ticket.

 

4. I was going over the dam at our lake, and I was doing 45mph in the 35 down a hill, and a state trooper sees me coming the other way. After about 2 minutes of not seeing him I thought I was in the clear. Nope, he came up on me fast and pulled me over, gave me a warning. The funny thing, I had two buddies with me, we were all seventeen, and they both had some Skoal in there mouths, the one in the front spit his out when I saw the cop coming up behind me, and the one in the back swallowed his    He didn't puke but came close.

 

5. I got my first traffic ticket a year and a half after I was pulled over the first time...BY THE SAME COP...for doing 58 in a 45, 2 mph less than before on a less busy road No he didn't recognize me, different car, lost some weight, so no way in heck he recognized me...

 

     

 

Over all I have been lucky...

 

Anyone else?

Sounds like you should ditch that VW, it's a cop magnet.

[Jersey Tahoe LT]

The VW has been gone for 2 years and it was off the road for about 3.5 to 4 years.  I miss it but Yea I was a cop magnet.  I was known everywhere.  Lumber Jack.  Nice stories.  I have been pulled over maybe 40 times.  Have only recieved 2 tickets.  And I had one At fault accedent thanks to black ice and a county sign.  Noone but me was involved.  I consider myself lucky.  And I used to have $400 per month insurance bill.   Thanks to the Tahoe and groeing up it is a lot cheaper now.

Dang $400, that sucks.... geeze, 2 times out of 40 is a pretty good ratio... I am only eighteen and am already getting to know the cops...

Beetle= Cop magnet?  

 

 

I thought that'swhat Camaros, Mustangs,and Corvettes were?

[Jersey Tahoe LT]

Thankfully The $400 is a thing of the past by about 2 months.  

 

LMAO General lee.  That is so true.  Yet my Beetle was worked.  If you wanna call it that.  I had the Monza Pace Setters on it and man were they loud.  It sounded like a Harley Davidson.  It was faster than a Mustang and a Camaro off the line.  But as soon as I shifted into 2nd they were so far past me that it was funny.  But it out handeled almost all of the cars that I have driven to this day.  I had it lowered in the front with Chrome Beetle wheels that were wider with 165/50 R15 BFG Touring TA's.  I had the motor boared out to 1600cc.  That equals a whoping 1.6L with I think maybe 90HP.  It had the kicking system and the interior was all done up.  I never got to fix up the exterior because of money and I beat the heck out of it.  I did buy New metal and 3" wider Fenders all the way around but ran out of money and interest.  It was a cop magnet due to the limo tint and the BUG-N-OUT on the winshield Eyebrow.  It was total Cali style.  Ah those were the days.

VW beetle        

[99silveradoz71]

Hmm, don't even know if I've ever stopped a Beetle.  Fastest vehicle I ever stopped was a 99+ Cougar doing 104 on I-90...we had a guy on the bridge with the laser and I chased him down in my first cruiser(97)...it wasn't my car anymore, so it had the DARE decals on the doors...that was fun.
