I speed just about every time I get behind the wheel but I usually know what I'm doing. Always got an eye on the lookout for cops.
I mostly get pulled over for nuisances like my stereo being too loud.
First ticket I got I was in San Antonio, was doing my boy a favor, his stratus was in the shop getting the clutch changed he had to work so he asked me to pick it up for him so I caught a taxi, ask for directions back to the base, they said just get on 90 down the road it'll take u to it. So i get on 90 not really paying attention but after about 30 minutes of driving I started thinking, it didn't take this long to get here so I got off and ask for directions, same thing just stay on 90 so I get back on another 20 minutes passed a sign said entering del rio, so I pulled into a gas station asked again girl at the register said u need to take 90, the other way. So I'm sweating my ass off like dam I'm supposed to be to work in an hour, so I get on back on the freeway doing 110 the whole way overtaking cars then I came up behind this gold 4 runner that kept messing with me every time I tries to over take him he's cut me off, so I down shifted and went to pass him in the shoulder the dick snapped hard right to cut me off, so I hit the brakes hard as hell and turned the wheel to come back and pass him on the left butI guess I put to much into cause I ended up spinning out into oncoming traffic then off the road into a ditch. Caught my breath started the car and took off, as I'm pulling out the ditch I see the side of the road lined with cars i guess people pulled over to see if I was all right.
About 15 minutes later I come up on what looks like a road construction site, whole bunch of orange cones in the road signs with reduced speed, then a sign that said dim lights so I did both then this guy jumps up waving a flash light. I thought he was just telling me to put on my lights so I did got out the cones and punched it again bout 10 minutes laterI see the flashing lights in the rear view mirror. Pulled over it's 5 cars old school sheriff running his mouth, "we've been getting calls all night about u, running cars off the road, speeding, passing on the wrong side, running a road block.
So they got me in cuffs did a search found my wallet with my badge in it, he throws it in front of me and is like what's that u look a lil young to be a cop, so I'm like i'm a cop in the Air Force, then he gives me the whipper snapper speech and blah blah blah. Ended up spending the night in Jail my boys came and picked me up the next day. They charged me with wreckless driving, but it never got on my record cause I still had my Virgin Islands license and for some reason the way our system was setup back home state side cops could never bring up my driving record so I ended up having to pay like 500 in fines but kept my license.
#2. 2nd time I got a ticket, I had just got stationed in New Mexico, sold my 98 civic EX and bought a brand new 2002 civic EX, 2 weeks after I got to NM. Went to the club one night and on the way back to base, my boy wanted to race me in his eclipse. So we ran it on San mateo hit nothing but green lights, as i'm starting to pull away from him my radar detector started going off, so I slowed down my boy keeps going & I got stopped. got clocked doing 70 in a 45, got lucky again cause of my license "he couldn't find my record so he gave me a speech bout me doing illegal shit and I still have my temp tags on and let me go with a warning.
#3. Got pulled over 3 days later going down central during broad day, cop said my stereo was too loud said he was 5 cars behind me and could hear my bass, but he couldn't really do anything cause I told him straight up, Albuquerque has a noice ordinance that says after 11pm noice cannot be heard 25 feet from the vehicle, he looked at me and asked how do u know that, I said I'm stationed here as an Air Force cop I've read all your state laws and ordinances. that was that
#4. Same night on my way to the club downtown got pulled over 3 minutes from the club same thing stereo too loud but it's 5 to 11, they tried to run my license but again couldn't find nothing so I got off with a warning. Funny thing is that night I was tryna get into one of the 21 and up clubs with a fake, the bouncer wasn't buying it so he called 2 cops over, turned out to be the same 2 cops that pulled me over, & they were like oh he's cool he's of age we just pulled him over, they told me just shom him your Virgin Islands ID, i'm like I left it in the car. They looked at my military ID and told him to let me in.
#5. Leaving another club again this time it's some shawties in a mustang I noticed in the parking lot that I wanted to get at, so I took off out the parking lot didn't even get a chance to turn the radar on, saw the lights behind me so I dipped off down a side street down another hit a perfect 180 and parked in someones driveway and hit the lights. cops drived right passed me.
#6. Then one night me and one of my boys went to pick up some shawties that stayed on one of the streets that's known for cruising so the cops stay posted up. Pissed me off cause I wasn't even cruisin or tryna race that night, had other plans. But any way we pulled out of their apartments got into the turning lane my boy is in an all black grand am gt, with blue neons, I haad white neons cause the blue ones I had kept blowing cause I had them hooked up to my amp so when the bass hits they pulsated to the beat, he made the light I didn't, then I notice this cop in the lane next to me suddenly turns his car to get behind of me, I'm like oh shit, told old girl I'm bout to get pulled over for my music being to loud again. Sure enough the light turns green I made my turn and he hit is lights. But it wasn't for the music is was for my neons, said it was illegal to drive with them on, we must have stayed there arguing back and fourth about it for 30 minutes when I got really pissed said I'll see u in court took the ticket and left. The next night I was on patrol so I stopped at the Law enforcement desk got the NM statute book looked up the title he cited me under which said "Drivers are permitted to have 2 light bars one on either side of the vehicle on the run board as long as they are white or amber in color" went to court with reciepts showing they were white, pics, and of course my reference, judge read over every thing threw it out and chewed out the rookie patrolman.
#7. Again leaving the club tryna catch some shawties, this time I'm in my 99 passport just bought it 3 weeks prior. Music blazing, just as I caught up to them, manage to toss one of my cards through their window I see the lights behind me, I pulled over, 2 cops approached I handed them my info along with my military ID, I guess it was the senior officer who asked, do u have any reason for going so fast u were doing 55 in a 50, quick thinking, I was like sir I'm a cop stationed at Kirtland AFB and we just got recalled. So he let me go
#8. Got back from Korea in 2004 got rid of the passport and the Ex, and got the 2000 Si. Me and my cousin was on our way down town & I had to stop to get some black & milds so instead of taking the freeway like normal I went down central which is like the other street know for cruising so it's always hot with cops. Sure enough got pulled over this time for my exhaust. Again I argued with the cop cause the ordinance is dumb, it states that your exhaust cannot me modified to be louder than it comes from the factory. My arguement was that's stupid cause if u take a mustang from the factory it has that deep low sound and sounds the same as my car, he didn't buy it so I had to go to court. Before IU went though I got my boy who owns the performance shop I get most of my parts from to make up a reciept and back date it saying I had purchased a silencer with my exhaust and he installed it himself, judge threw it out.
#9. Leaving base, just left the auto hobby shop installing my coilovers, waiting at the light at the gate, revved my engine and spun out a lil bit got pulled over again, cop said for my exhaust, funniest thing though, he's standing behind my car calling in the info, mind u this is still my Si, I had jusy got it painted the month before and had removed all emblems and badges. Cop is like i have a 2000 honda accord license plate blah blah. Went to court judge threw it out as soon as I said your honor I don't know what car the officer is talking about I drive a civic not an accord.
#10. My actual 1st speeding ticket cause my wallet got stolen when I got jumped so I had to finally get a stateside license. Me and my cousin were on our way back from texas and mexico last year. I took him there for his 20th b-day. anyway I'm on I-25 and this old sentra pulls up next to me tryna race. this is when I had my boosted B16B swap, I took off and left him feeling dumb, me and my cousin r just laughing our asses off, then I hear my radar going off level 2 so I know there's a cop near my I looked at the speedo and I'm like oh shit 135, tried to slow down as much as I could without being to obvious didn't work, state trooper pulled over said he clocked me at 120, but he was cool about it, said he won't have my vehicle towed cause I could be charged with this and that, said he'd drop it to 105 if I agreed to pay the fine, only $200, I said sure, didn't really worry bout it till I got the notice in the mail saying 6 points were accessed to my record and if I got another ticket within a year my license would be revoked. Went to the dmv on base to pay the fine and the girl there said she would clear it from my record, i guess she really did cause I checked their database a few days after and couldn't find no record of it but I still made sure to stay low key for the year.
