I got pulled over for nothing

[Freitag]

On my drive to work yesterday, one of the shortcuts I take is through a residential area. It's a 25 MPH zone, so I make sure to respect the speed limit, especially now they have a speed trap in there 4 mornings out of five.

As I started taking the shortcut, I passed by the trap, and continued my way. I began thinking, "Ha ha, what if I start doing 50 all of a sudden... that'd be funny." Of course, I kept it at 25.

Suddenly, the cop is behind me with his lights on.

I pull over immediately and turn on my hazard lights, put my hands on the steering wheel, and wait for the officer to come over. I'm sweating bullets, because I'm thinking...

1) he could have gotten me for speeding, although I was only a few miles over
2) failure to signal
3) Something else.

Officer approaches the car and asks my license and registration. I give him both, he looks at it, and suddenly the confidence he has just evaporates.

"Sir, the reason why I pulled you over is because my computer is showing your registration is expired."

(Apparently, because he was bored, he ran my plate as I passed by him in the speed trap)

That made me a little suspcious... because my old registration expires at the end of the month, and I had just renewed my registration for 2008, which he was holding in his hand. I was good, no matter what.

Now the officer is annoyed because the reason why he pulled me over wasn't legit, and I'm annoyed because now I'm late for work.

He goes back to his car and starts talking with dispatch, and of course, everything is on the up and up.

He gives me back my docs and sends me on my way.

It was the most surreal experience I ever had with a police officer.

Has anyoen else been pulled over for weird reasons like that?

One time I got pulled over for being a white guy driving around in Far Rockaway. They asked why I was there and I was all nervous cause I was getting pulled over. My girlfriend lived around the area. They asked where and I just pointed in a general direction. They asumed I was looking for drugs. They let me go.

[DiabloSammich]

Are you sure you weren't pulled over for being too sexy? That happens to me like twice a week.

[Furtherman]

I was on the LIE once and those who know - if you don't go with the flow, you're gonna get mowed down. Well, I had cars on my ass while I was in the left lane, so I speed up to get ahead so I can get myself into the middle or right hand lane.

Unfortunately, this takes me past a cop in the middle lane. Well, I get in front of him, and turn on my signal and move into the middle lane, and two or three cars go flying by me. I was going about 70 in the 65 zone and everyone was flying by me.

But I get pulled over. The cop actually told me never to move in front of a cop. No ticket, just a lecture. The guy was fuming that I made a legal maneuver into the middle lane to let other cars go faster in the left lane.

But what are ya gonna do? Argue? Risk a ticket for something? Sometimes you're just dealt a bad hand.

[Marc with a c]

good

[sailor]

i blame the pharmacists.

[JPMNICK]

that has happened to me so many times.

one time, while doing 37 at night in a 35, i was pulled over because he said he thought my inspection sticker looked the wrong color.

[lleeder]

good

Yeah but there was no ticket. So only half as good as it could have been.

I was on my way to Minneapolis to see a Metallica concert and I was going 55mph (speed limit at the time). I had a fuzz buster on my visor which is not illegal in MN as long as it is not in the front window. A state trooper pulled along side of me and motioned me to pull over.

I did and he started screaming at me about the fuzzbuster. I asked him why he pulled me over. He would not answer me and continued to lecture me about the fuzzbuster and accused me of being a "lawbreaker".

I admit, having a fuzzbuster is for one reason and that is to speed.

I was not speeding or doing anything else to break the law. He was being a prick, and I took his shit and complimented him for it.

Fucking fuzzbuster didn't work anyway.

[FezPaul]

I got pulled over by the AZ state troopers so he could teach the new guy how to inspect a tractor trailer. I stood around for an hour trying not to yawn.

" Has anyone else been pulled over for weird reasons like that? "

i leave work at 2am, and I have to take a 7 mile stretch on Rte 33. so i'm in the left lane it's a 55 zone and i'm doing close to 60. reason why I'm in the left lane is because it's less bumpy than the right. anyway this car starts following me, not too too close and I had it in my mind it's 2:30am and the guy can go around me. a minute later the lights go on and i get pulled over. there are two officers. they both come to the side of my car and the one asks me "why I'm driving in the left lane"

of course my answer was " it's smoother than the right "

they didn't know what to say or how to respond for a couple seconds. i'm sure if they drive that road they know it's true. so my paperwork checked out and i was on my way

Like a month ago I was driving in Westfield New Jersey and I saw a cop pull out after me. His lights weren't on or anything but I was waiting for it. So I pulled into the park right by the police station and parked my car. The cop follwoed me in and pulled up behind me and put on his lights. I'm thinking, what the fuck. I didn't do anything. He comes over and asks for my paper work. I ask him what I did wrong and he said nothing. 'I jsut thought it strange you would pull into the park after it was closed.' I said how I got a little nervous when he came up behind me. He called a fellow cop over and they both laughed about it and then he let me go. I didn't get a ticket, but I sure did get a story full of stupidity.

[FUNKMAN]

my Dad told me once he was pulled over for forgetting to turn his high-beams off. he must have blinded the cop and the cop got pissed :smile:... then again doesn't everyone get pissed at getting blinded by high-beams?

[Jujubees2]

Driving home from work one night on the Bronx River Parkway, I got pulled over. The cop came up to the car and he saw the shirt I was wearing which had the logo of the school I at work at on it. When he saw the logo he asked me if I worked for the school and I said yes. He then said have a nice night and left. Never told me why he pulled me over.

[Great Tiger's Turban]

So no ticket and no real story. This fucking American faggot was clearly bored and needed some attention. Sad faggot American.

"Look at me, talk about me, they hate me"

Wait...you're black, right?

A similar thing happened to me about 5 years ago when I was going to pick up a girl I was dating in Washington Heights, the cops thought a white guy in a mostly Dominican neighborhood was looking to get his fix

[reillyluck]

Tell me friend, why must these faggot Americans cry and beg for attention? They are sad souls and this is why they must be defeated.

[deliciousV]

I use to work a 4pm to 12:30 am shift at the Dayton Ohio main Post Office, with 2 hrs OT that I always worked that put me out right when the multitude of bars in the area closed. I'd get pulled over a couple of times a month with every stupid fake probable cause imaginable. Just think how many lucky drunk fucks got away while I distracted the popo.

[TheMojoPin]

I got pulled over once for what I thought was for no reason, but then I remembered Snoogans was in the car. I reccomended that brave officer for promotion.

Just drive through Sparta, NJ.

There are so many cunt cops on all the time they can't help but be assholes and pull a lot of people over.

When I started going out to PA every Saturday I got pulled over 3 times in the same month. One was I was going too fast in an area that dropped from 55 to 25 very quickly, no warning, ticket. My 1st and only speeding ticket over 6 years ago now. The other 2 were just harrassment.

Do I get points if I said the cop looked like Earl?

With people like Anthony you would.

[Tenbatsuzen]

With people like Anthony you would.

I think people like Anthony would be afraid of cops like Earl.

I think people like Anthony would be afraid of cops like Earl.

Probably, but he sure would shoot another computer when he got home!

Boy, it sure would be taught a lesson is shant soon forget!!

[Bulldogcakes]

I once got pulled over in New Jersey for having NY plates. The cops partner had his gun drawn, poised behind the car door with his gun pointed right at me. For a fucking traffic stop. New Jersey cops are the absolute worst. They think the whole world is some hideous Charles Bronson film.

That's what you get for driving with longhorns on your hood.

I got pulled over last month for leaving a bank parking lot at 5:30 in the morning (I had a long day ahead and needed to hit the ATM). The cop thought he'd nailed a bank robber till I pulled out my receipt as proof.

[PapaBear]

I got pulled over for driving a Ryder truck at 10PM in the middle of nowhere. At least that's the only reason I can think of. He asked me what I was doing driving a moving van at night. I said I was moving. He asked what was in the truck, and I said "all my stuff". Then he let me go.

Doesn't sound like a very good cop.

well, you do fit the profile.

[thepaulo]

This morning I was doing 49 in a 30 coming out of a 45.
Hit the speed trap. Had my badge on. The officer said, "Do you know the speed limit?"
I looked sheepish.
He said, "Go more slowly."
I went on my way, properly chastised.

[Heather 8]
