Back when I was in high school I don't remember why I got pulled over but as I'm sitting there while he walks around my car, I guess looking for something else to write me up for I mentioned that his car was smoking, he let me go. I calmly drove away smiling and a little later on saw that car being towed, don't think it was AAA though.

I was on an all day bike trip to and from Deals Gap, running low on fuel I stopped at a Murphy to fill up. I put in my card, swiped, choose receipt and filled up. When finished the meter said see attendant and I just assumed the printer was out of paper. 20 miles later the evening sky behind me erupts in angry blue lights so I pull over to the curb let the police by. Only when he was standing next to me did I realize I was his target. After he told me I drove off without paying the story began to unwind; I told him I swiped my card but there was no receipt. He radioed dispatch, they called the Wal-Mart, the Murphy guy told them the pumps were unlocked. The officer asks, "who does that? That's stupid!" The dispatch lady agreed in a weary voice and said I'll send your brother over. We had a nice chat about cycles while we waited for his brother to come escort me back to pay for the fuel as I had intended all along. I'd crossed the city limits since filling up and the city policeman couldn't escort me but his sheriff deputy brother could. Paid my $10 and I was on my way.

Now I always get a receipt.

Summer Sunday afternoon about 15 years ago. Friend of mine has a '97 Viper and came by my house to show off his new blower, N2O system, and rear gears. Car was silly fast before those mods and was now just ludicrous. He comes into the house and hangs out for a bit then suggests we go for a ride. He's planning on me driving and I'm thinking he's driving. He leaves his bag-o-stuff on my kitchen table and I don't bother to grab my wallet. We get to the driveway and he hands me the keys. Without much thought I hop in and we go.

I only lived about a mile of of SR-1 near Monterey so obviously we need a freeway run. I merge onto the freeway and traffic is heavy, but the #1 lane is wide open. So I hit it hard and jump into the #1 lane. I see the speedometer hit the 130 mark and I let off. Then I look in the mirror and we all know what comes next.

My buddy had EVERYTHING in his bag, so we're double the 65 limit and no ID, registration, or insurance papers. I quickly admitted guilt and told the CHP officer that I would gladly plead guilty to whatever he chose to write up if he would please not tow my friend's car. (CA has a law that allows impound for 100+)

He goes back to his car and plays on the radio for a minute then comes back up and tells me to slow down and go back home to get the paperwork in the car before the next strafing run. So 130 MPH in heavy traffic and no DL, Reg. or insurance gets me a friendly warning.

I've not been pulled over since that day, but I figure if I ever am, I owe it to karma to just pay the ticket, as I dodged a huge one.

Got pulled over as a teenager with a case of unopened beer around midnight, the officer let us keep the beer and told us to get our asses home. At that time me and a buddy we're headed to see some girls at their house, could not resist and headed straight there. 3am on the way home the same cop pulls us over in the exact same spot where we were stopped earlier. Of course the beer was gone, we told him about the girls and he chuckled and let us head on to the house. I love understanding people!

Friend of mine has a 16 Mustang GT, procharged, headers, full exhaust, and dyno tune. Car is pushing over 600 horsepower to the wheels so it's stupid fast. One night he had a couple too many drinks and told me to drive him home (I was DD that night, which I didn't mind because it meant driving his monster). Cruising down the highway a black Charger went flying past us. I thought he was trying to race, so I down shifted and smashed the gas. Well, turns out it was an unmarked cruiser. Blue lights came on, we pulled over. The cop walks up to the car and goes "son, what the HELL are you thinking?", to which my drunk friend replies "Sir, I promise I'm not as drunk as you think I am" :doh:

One field sobriety test (I passed obviously) and a nice little chat later, and he (surprisingly) sent me on my way. Pretty sure had it not been for my friend providing some comic relief, I would have gotten a nice little ticket.....or jail.

Years ago, I was riding with a friend of mine when he was pulled over. The officer came to the window and stated we had a headlight out. I asked if I could look and walked to the front of the truck and tapped the headlight, causing it to come back on. The officer smiled and said "Good Trick" or something to that effect. He stood there for just a second and asked if we wanted him to take the cooler out of the bed or should he call for our parents? We graciously told him he could have the cooler and went on our way. Sneaky way to find out if we had beer underage but grateful we were allowed to go home. Sadly, we never had a chance to drink any of it.

around 1990 my friend and I were coming home late from a Halloween party and we has gone dressed as gangbangers. Even though we were two white boys, i guess we looked pretty rough. We were in his 67 Firebird and got popped for a rear tailight out by a female officer. one look and she immedietly calls for backup and another female shows up. While one stands point with her hand on her gun at my door my buddy gets cuffed and stuffed in their cruiser. Then I get called out to spread eagle the hood and get frisked. i kept wiggling and laughing because Im super ticklish and the two officers were actually younger and cute. for a 17yr old, this was awesome. They thought I was wasted. After they frisked me, one watched me still spread out over the hood while the other turned the Firebird inside out. After a 30 minute ordeal they believed us and got a laugh at our costumes and let my buddy off with a verbal on the tailight.
We were both glad we were clean that night!!!

That dude from Mississippi
I got pulled over, just after graduating college. I was making about 80 in a 55 zone. It was in the sticks. Officer was shining his light in my face, so I couldn't see him. He said, "Clay?" Turns out it was a football player I used to let look at my tests. I got out of that one.

From the other side of a car stop-

I had a pickup truck with a male driver in front of me. I saw the truck swerve a bit and then I got closer... I saw his right elbow was moving back and forth, pushing away something.

I noticed a pile of long, reddish-brown hair to his right. It appeared there was a female leaning over toward him and the driver was pushing her head with his right arm.

I activate my lights and pull him over, to investigate possible domestic violence...

As I approach, I see the driver is holding a hot dog in his right hand.

The pile of reddish brown hair was his dog, who was happily trying to get at the food...



I explained the reason for the stop, then laughed my ass all the way back to my car.

Cruising up a canyon in my Excursion pulling a trailer to help bring my older son and his scout pack home. Had my 7 year old son with me, who I'd just gotten a half rack of ribs for, from a roadside BBQ place. Officer walked up to my passenger window and burst out laughing at my son with sauce ear to ear and still gnawing on a rib. Told me to slow down and we drove off.

I was at my high school reunion the other night. Not saying which one, it was a big one. An old friend started telling the story about the time we all got pulled over. We were in my car drinking, underage, and a friend of mine was driving. We got pulled over by two uniform policeman. They got us out of the car and started asking questions. After a while they said they didn't know what to do. They decided to call their Sargent. He shows up and starts asking questions. I asked him if he knew another officer. He did. Then he made his decision. He said he was going to take two of us downtown and told the other two officers to take the rest of them out into the woods and shoot them.

At that point I knew we were good. The officer that I mentioned was the guy who would buys beer, sit in our car, tell jokes and drink with us. I suspect he knew that.

It was a different time and place.
