Monday, February 18, 2008 at 11:37 PM the iPod thread, I told the story with my computer and it reminded me of what happened yesterday, which was retarded. I get fucked in the ass by cops weekly, it's really amazing. Yesterday, I got out of my car, and it was chilly, so I jogged to my friend's house [parked a couple houses down the street] and when I got home, my parent's were freaking out and yelled "WHERE IS THE CAR?" I was like "um, in the driveway?" and then they explained the cops had called because someone reported the car as being stolen. I was like "wtf?" In the end, we cleared it up, apparently some idiot saw me running from the car and decided to call 911 and report the car as stolen and gave them the License Plate number. If you think about it, this tard's reasoning makes NO sense. If I stole the car, why would I be running away? And would I really park it right in front of your dumb fucking house? Anyway, it was lame, and the cops chewed me out over the phone for FUCKING JOGGING. GOD DAMN I am a freaking cop magnet, I hate it. I want to live in the countryyyyy where there's no cops. anyway, just thought I'd share that gay lil nugget with you guys. Any more idiot cop stories? —anfernee |

Edited Monday, February 18, 2008 at 11:50 PM I got pulled over for going ten miles over the speed limit down an intersection. This dickhead cop gave me a ticket. He asked me if I knew what the speed limit was. "Either 35 or 45 mph." "You didn't know it was 35?" "No." "But you went 45, anyway?" "Yeah." He shook his head at me like he was disgusted. Yeah, I'm a hard core criminal, all right! Fucking cops... I don't trust them and every time I see them I give them that I don't trust you look. They could very well be a good cop, but I'm just going to assume they're a fascist pig. —acm323 |

Edited Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 12:24 AM i've been waiting weeks for the right thread to paste this myspace blog about my recent run in with the law.
while driving on hwy 70 last week, i was pulled over.
i was headed to a job about 50 miles from home to a town i'd never been before.
most of hwy 70's speed limit is 65 mph. there are even stretches of 70 mph. evidently, the speed limit of the small section of hwy 70 that passes through lake st. louis, mo is 60 mph.
i ALWAYS do 10 miles over the speed limit, and never get tickets. so, i'm driving along, doing 75 mph, thinking i'm only over by 10 mph, paying close attention to the exits as i don't want to pass the one i was looking for and be late.
this is how i managed to miss the (as far as i could tell) only speed limit sign along this short stretch that read 60 mph. much to my surprise, i see a cop behind me. i look down to see 75 mph on the speedometer. i think, "wow, here comes a chicken shit ticket."
i pull over, and give the pig my license and proof of insurance. he returns with a ticket, and i quickly scan it.
"15 miles over? isn't the speed limit 65? did it change?"
he says, "yes" and points back a few hundred yards. i cringe and stifle an angry, adam carolla-esque rant. the fucker was camped out just after the sign popping drivers who didn't notice the 5 mph change. i'm pretty good at noticing every sign, but i was preoccupied with looking for my exit which turned out to be less than half a mile away. it pisses me off even more that i was literally just about to get off the god damned highway. now, i have an $87 pussy/chicken shit ticket i have to deal with.
i hope the next person he pulled over shot him where his balls and spine are supposed to be. i'm thinking about showing up to court and pleading my case to see if i can get this reduced to a 10 mph over fine. it's only a $30 difference, not really worth the hassle, but it's principle that's pushing me to not just mail it in like they want you to do. —plurry |

Edited Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM True, but this isn't simple traffic violations type offenses. That would be more understandable. But this is confiscated computer equipment, being thrown in jail for being "drunk" when he was totally sober (or something like that), and the whole bizarre stolen car thing. I got my share of tickets when I was younger and though I did feel singled out or profiled because I was a teenager, the truth is I was speeding, or running stop signs or whatever else. So I was never exactly innocent even if it was unfair that other people were getting a little more leeway. All of my dealings with the cops have been great. I can't say I've had the same experience, but since passing the age of 25 or so, I've been let off with way more warnings than in the past. That's a cool benefit of being older (and white, of course.) —Beat It! |

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 10:06 AM things I got busted for in my teenage years/early 20's: phreaking.
associating with check thieves
minor in possession
I had my beer dumped out about 4 times
speeding
fix-it ticket.... none of these had any real consequences for me other than getting grounded. It's probably part of growing up--you look at your behavior and learn not to be such a douche bag and in return you get to drive above the speed limit with mostly impunity (unless you're plurry). The other choice is to constantly blame the cops, your parents, the world, keep doing the behaviors that get you in trouble, and become a big loser. The closest I've come to getting busted for speeding in the last 10 years is a cop flashed his lights at me when I was going 70 in a 45. That could've been a $400 ticket. —bguirk |

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 10:44 AM Cops can suck my white balls. I got this chicken shit $50 parking ticket for "blocking a driveway" by being parked within a foot of a driveway entrance here on campus. Apparently the law here says that if you're parked within a foot of either side of a driveway, you're "blocking the driveway". I wasn't driving a huge behemoth SUV either, I had a little hatchback. It's not like people had to make an extra wide turn out to get around me! And this driveway doesn't even get used that much, it's the driveway into where they park the security golf carts. And furthermore, don't the city cops have better things to do than give parking tickets on a college campus? Shouldn't it be like an Indian reservation, a sovereign nation where the traffic laws don't apply? The campus security isn't part of the city police force, they don't even have guns, they can't do anything! So they call in the big guns to do their work for them. Pussies! And then I go to class the next day in the building right next to where I parked the day before, and I look over at the car that's in the exact same spot as I was the day before, and they have NO TICKET on their windshield! If you pussy cops are going to ticket people who "park illegally", how bout some consistency? You've got Sargeant Esterhaus ringing in your ears, "Let's be careful out there", you can't go downtown and bust some hookers and just leave college kids ALONE? THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY YOUR INFLATED CHICKEN SHIT TICKETS YOU IDIOTS! —John Lennon |

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 11:08 AM And another thing, one time I was speeding because my automatic transmission was fucked up and wouldn't go into 2nd unless I got the RPMS up to about 4k, so I had to go about 50 mph to do that, I was doing 50 on a 35 and I got pulled over and got $135 ticket. Another time right after I got my car, the speedometer wouldn't engage after stopping unless you pushed the odometer reset button right after you got going, and I forgot to do that after leaving a stop sign, so I was going 45 in a 25 and I got a $135 ticket for that. I couldn't tell the cop my speedometer was broken because I was afraid then he would give me another ticket for that. My first ticket: After I had my little car accident, the headlight lenses on my car came off in the accident so I didn't have working headlights on my car, the driving lights worked and I was coming home from a knife selling appointment with my flashers on, the cop pulled me over and gave me a $75 ticket for each headlight being out. Then I had him escort me to my house so I could see the road in front of me. —John Lennon |

I'm not saying that the tickets aren't chicken shit, but that doesn't mean they aren't valid. I've gotten tagged for running a stop sign at four in the morning and I was pissed because there were absolutely no cars in sight, but I did run the stop sign, so ultimately I have to take accountability. Stop blaming everyone else that you 1) parked in a non-parking spot, 2-4) have broken equipment in your car. Fix your car, park in the right spot and stop playing the innocent victim of circumstance. —Beat It! |

When I was going to community college, I parked in a space for ten minutes to go to the library and buy a book. I was gone for no more than ten minutes. When I came back, a fucking pig was writing me a ticket! Why was he writing me a ticket? I didn't have a parking pass. It was during summer and since I had no summer classes, I never bought one. Now before you judge me keep in mind... There were no more than fifteen cars parked around me. I was literally surrounded by empty parking spaces. There must have been at least 100 empty spaces all around me. I wasn't taking away a space from anyone! Talk about a chicken shit ticket!!! I agree with Anfernee.

Edited Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 9:44 PM Wow I think I have you all beat. When I was 18 I got caught selling weed. I did 30 days in jail and got put on 3yrs probation. I earned it... whatever....
Well, about 2 years into my probation I was driving my old civic at night WITH MY WINDOWS ROLLED UP. The registration had expired and I didnt renew it becasue later that week I was going to buy a brand new Nissan Sentra at the dealership, so i figured I'd be wasting money to drive legally for just 3 days.
Anyways, so i drive by this cop and get a nice 50 yd lead. Im not speeding, just minding my own business. The cops RUSHES at me and I KNOW hes runing my plates. Anyways he pulls me over and i KNOW its for the expired registration. He takes like 5 min to get out of the car and walk up to me. The fucking pig draws has his hand on his gun and is tiptoing towards me and tells me to slowly roll down the window. When he realizes I am not a threat he comes to the window and this is how the convo goes: cop: where is it?
me: wheres what?
cop: dont fuck with me! where is it?
me: what my license and registration?
cop: look buddy! the reason I pulled you over today is becasue I smelled marijuana in your car. Now where is it?
me: I dont know what your talking about! I dont smoke pot. (im thinking to myslef... how the fuck did he smell pot in my car when we were in seperate cars, 50 yards from each other and both our windows were rolled up?) well, the fucking pig pulls me out of the car and TEARS up my shit. He litteraly ripped open seats. NOT KIDDING. He then was frustrated at the fgact that he couldnt find weed and gave me a sobriety test. Ok, so its like midnight, freezing cold, im super nervous and im SHAKING HISTERICALLY. He takes my pulse, shines a light into my eyes and accuses me of being under the influence of methamphetamine. I told him, "no, its cold and im nervous becasue your fucking wioth me for no reason." The cop goes back to his car, makes some calls, and lets me go with a "warning." The whole thing took about 45 min. FAG —whoisnumbaone |

I keep picturing myself walking into a Best Buy, buying an Xbox 360 and an axe, then walking outside and ax-murdering the 360. Basically the same thing as a 430 dollar ticket. It's due one day after Brawl comes out too... —anfernee |

Basically the same thing as a 430 dollar ticket. and you've had enough brushes with the man lately that no judge is going to give you break on that ticket. ouch. you could try and play the odds and show up in court--who knows? Your cop might actually go out and fight real crime for a day. —bguirk |

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 10:20 PM Oh, i forgot, my friend has all y'all beat on the speeding ticket issue.
in 2005 he tried to drive to sydney, about a four hour drive, to buy some music gear. but he got a 1000 dollar speeding ticket. he was borrowing my parents 1981 volvo stationwagon because the boot could carry the equipment. they sent the ticket to our house.
so he couldn't afford to buy the stuff.
he tried again on two other occasions, and awesomely got two more tickets, together equalling more than 1000 dollars.
So he got over 2000 dollars worth in 3 tickets, and never ended up getting the equipment.
The biggest surprise for me is that the old beast of a volvo could get over 200 km/h. Volvo really do make good cars. No wonder everyone hates them. —MajandraFan |

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 10:21 PM Anfernee, did your court date already pass? You can go to court and ask for a "reduction of cost" and the judge can/will reduce the ticket by as much as half. —greymatters |

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 10:31 PM a cop pulled me over because i almost ran over some black people in a crosswalk, but i cried and he let me off with a warning. this was awhile ago though. —mandee When I was around nineteen or so my girlfriend and I were driving back from some party and we had two strangers from the party in the back that she was giving a ride to. I was pissed because I just wanted to go. She was loaded and was all over the road so I started yelling at her to pull over and stop driving--then a cop pulled her over,asked her how many drinks she had (she answered 3--she was underage) and he let her off with a warning. Motherfucker actually let her keep driving. I really wanted that cop to give her a DUII and I couldn't have been more pissed at the time because if I'm in the driver's seat with 3 in me I would've been immediately taken to the drunk tank and raped. After the cop took off the people in the back told us they had an ounce of weed on them.

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 10:34 PM Upon getting my current car, I got two speeding tickets within two weeks (17 years old + turbo). But I learned my lesson - bought a radar detector and have been ticket free ever since. —miyagi-sama |

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 11:21 PM I don't want to waste more money though if he rejects me... What money? You're going to have to pay the ticket anyway, might as well beg it down. Your choices are: a. Pay the entire ticket.
b. Go ask him to lower the fine, thereby possibly not paying the entire ticket.
c. ???
d. Profit! D is not a real option, so go with B. —TortillaFactory |

When you show up to court and the judge sees that you got a $400+ speeding ticket, he or she will reduce the ticket. I would bet your life on it. —greymatters |

Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 11:34 PM Yeah, you don't have to pay any court costs, just show up, ask for a reduction and there you go. If the cop doesn't show up (he will), the ticket would be dissolved. —greymatters |

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 9:29 AM I think anfernee somehow got the idea that you have to pay for your day in court. —TortillaFactory I think between this and the ipod thread we need to dispatch someone to kick anfernee's social studies teacher in the nuts. —bguirk |

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 5:51 PM ABM--did you get grants or loans? —bguirk grant wtf, why so cheap? Mine was like $3000. And now that my dad lost his job, we might qualify for that poor family stuff. —anfernee mine was $3000+ too but I'm not counting that because finanical aid paid for my tuition AND they sent me a check to buy textbooks/materials. It just shows how poor I am. I spent $300 on textbooks. i hate you guys and your cheap schools. —mandee but if you and I were competing for the same job postion, you would get hired because Brandies is more credited than some easy school like mine. why they don't gve better aid for grad students is beyond me. —bguirk my sister goes to grad school and she has to pay everything, she can't even apply for a scholarship. But the good thing about paying for grad school is that you get to complain about your prof. and the school will actually listen. Poor undergrads are not given a chance to let thier voices be heard. —adams_babymomma |

His reply was "$300 is not that much"....duh! cause that's how much he makes in an hour. I guess he forgot when he was broke.. —adams_babymomma |

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 8:26 PM I really wanted that cop to give her a DUII and I couldn't have been more pissed at the time because if I'm in the driver's seat with 3 in me I would've been immediately taken to the drunk tank and raped.
I knew this girl who got hammered at a night club and drove home. She got pulled over going almost 90 mph on the freeway. She told the cop that she had too pee really bad and thats why she was speeding. The cop told her to get out of the car. While this was going on another cop pulled up and they started talking. Well, while they were talking, my friend popped a squat and peed on the side of the freeway. The cop was like "WTF!" and she said "I told you, I really needed to pee!"
So one cop drove her car of the freeway to a nearby parking lot while the other drove her 2 exits down the freeway and to her house. They gave her the keys and said "dont do this again." Had this been me, and I wouldve pissed on the side of the freeway in this situation, the cops wouldve beat my ass with their night sticks and I wouldve been doin some time in the county jail. But eh, good times. —whoisnumbaone |

Edited Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 11:51 PM But the good thing about paying for grad school is that you get to complain about your prof. and the school will actually listen. This varies by school. I go to a research institution so a prof can be a great researcher, horrible teacher and keep their job for 30 years. Usually they're good at both, but we definitely have some people who shouldn't be allowed in front of a class--luckily we gossip. —bguirk |
