Somewhere
Talking I got Mustang love from a motorcycle cop??? WTF?

So I'm driving to work and I get pulled over by a stationary cycle cop (thanks radar detector BTW) and he asks for my info. He shows me the radar that says I was doing 56 in a 45. ("Big deal" I say to myself) He then asks me what year my car is... I tel him 93. So, he walks around to the back of my car and checks my tag... its expired, but I show him my new registration ticket (I was just too lazy to remove my plate cover and put the sticker on... it only expired a few days ago and I was trying to wait until the weekend to put it on when I wash my car).

So, he tells me that he's gonna "see if he can help me out..." I said ok, but saw that he was STILL writing out a ticket. I said to myself, "how much 'help' can he be giving me, he's still writing the ticket." He walks back over to my car and tells me that he's overlooking the speeding, and overlooking the registration expired, but he's giving me a ticket for not having the registration on... which will be reduced to $7.50 if I physically show my proof of registration within 30 days... and NO points on my license!

He says that when mustangs were being used by the Florida Highway Patrol, he drove 3 of them, but the 93 was his favorite b/c of the top end speed.

I ALWAYS thought that it was a job requirement for motorcycle cops to be azzh0les, but i was pleasantly surprised by this guy. I can't help but wonder if he would've let me go scott-free if i did put the sticker on my plate when I got it... prolly not. He got to write out a ticket for his quota but give a mustang guy a break at the same time. Win-win!

I've had 2 experiences with motorcycle cops, one I got a ticket for speeding in a Uhaul truck with a broken speedo which is why I was driving it in the first place. Transferring it to my location for repair. No sweat, it got dropped. The other one was right after i returned home from my first deployment, my wedding day actually. A new school had been built and opened while I was gone and I was driving past it at 37 in what I thought was a 35, little did I realize that it was reduced speed hours, so the limit was 25. BUSTED!!! The cop blows past my brother who was following me in his truck. He gave me the lights and I pulled over. I handed him my license and he noticed my military ID in my wallet, he asked to see that too. Well at that time, there was a sticker from the Enterprise on the ID. Since Good Morning America had just broadcasted live from my ship a few days prior and he saw it, he knew that I had just returned home. He had to give me the ticket anyway since he had already started it. He explained to me not to worry about it and just to have my dad or my brother go to court on that day and the whole deal would be excused. What a guy!

ok, i have one better. I got into it with my girl right. and i was pissed when i left her house. Shes got a long ass driveway with a huge ass tree at the end. SO i'm backing out and as always can't see to the left of me so i pull out and theres a car comeing but its a ways a back. THis car however started to catch up quickly because the limit is 45. SO i step on it til about 50mph to not be a dick for acciddentally cutting this guy off. Now keep in mind that night has fallen. SO this car continues to floor it up my ass, which i really hate. SO seeing as i was pissed, driving a fast car, and angered by this asshole of a driver, i stepped on it. I look down at the speedo and im doing 82, lol. I was real mad. and i look in the rear view expecting this car to be fading, but its getting close? I was like, Fcuk me. As soon as i thought it the lights went on and it was the fuzz. Stop the car officer pulls up, walks up and about breaks my window with his mag lite. UH OH< was a freakin Statie too. ITs 10:15, curfew is in 45. I'm 20 min away and i was doing 36 over. In PA, if you have a Jr. liscense and your doing 25+ over, you lose your liscense. SO the cop says "turn off the car Mario [Andretti]." (I did.) "Is this your car."
Yes. i said.
"Liscense, Insurance, Registration"
i hand it to him and he walks back to the car
he comes back "IS your dad......so and so"
yep, i live at 430... and he finishes my sentence
"Now what the **** do you think you we're doing?"
SO i explained the fight, the huge tree/blind spot, speeding up not to be a dick, him tailgating me, and agin me being mad.
He says "We'll, I'll let you off."
i was like omg, i love you, lemme go buy you a dozen doughnuts [in my mind]
he then gave me aspeech about saftey, muscle cars around trees, and said that my parents buying me this car for my first car was "******* stupid"
Lol great story to tell because when i say the cop let me off their jaws drop. And the best part is he dropped the f-bomb twice. lol
freakin pigs!

What's the deal with the doughnut gags and calling them pigs? They do their jobs everyday, risking their lives for people they don't even know, and yet they get called names. They've seen it all and heard it all, so is there any reason why they have a slight attitude? They've heard so many lies and don't want to hear it again. Most of the time when they give breaks is when someone is actually HONEST and they don't lie. And what's with the quota thing too? He's doing his job, not keeping score.

this wasn't in my stang but i had a toyota pick up (my beater)... I was late for work and i took off fast, blew two stop signs fish tailed on several corners, blew a red light all while speeding... i get pulled over from like a mile away I knew it was for me... cop comes up to me and asks "you know why i'm pulling you over" me being a some what smart ass says "depends on when you saw me" he actually laughed a little and said "we were down your street when you pulled out of the drive way" yep he saw the whole thing... he says "you know you ran that red light right?" I say "it was yellow when i saw it" he says "yeah going 60 in a 45 you'll catch all the yellow lights" he goes back runs my plates lisence and registration sees that everything is kosher comes back and tells me "alright, just be careful and slow down" that was very surprising... haha

one more... I was pulling out of a bar, I wasn't drunk but i did have a miller light before i left... this bar was a copper trap for DUI's... at the time i had my tundra... I get pulled over... i was thinking i'm gonna get the breat alyzer cause i just finished a beer (prolly not the smartest thing on my behalf)... he comes up, "you know why we're pulling you over?" I told him "probably to make sure no one is driving drunk" he says "well we can't pull people over for that, so we're pulling you over cause your bumber hitch is covering you plate" again being the smart a$$ that i am I say "that's weird i wonder why they attache the bumper hitch there if it's illegal?" this one doesn't laugh but they check the plate and junk give me the "follow my finger with your eyes test" and lets me go....
