Hmm...I'm 22, I got my liscence when I was 18. I've been pulled over 14 times. I've received 2 tickets. Anyone smell that? It's bullshit. Lol. I've been searched twice. My car has been searched twice. I've had my hood popped a few times, and just recently been sent to the state ref. My first ticket was in a Ford Focus...hated that car, but that cost me $1200. 97 in 65, foreign registration, and no insurance. Second ticket, the most recent in my 89 CRX, , is costing me $1700. 75 in a 45 over a bridge, excesivley (sp?) loud exhaust, emmisions, no insurance. This time I did have insurance, I just didn't have my card on me, so the cop was an ass (as usual), and got me for everything he could. So atleast it will drop that to about $1000 instead of $1700. So what about you guys? Get harrassed alot? I sure do.
Stop doing 30+ over and you won't get harassed... seems like a simple concept to me.
I've been stopped 3 times and been given tickets.. September (15 over) and October (21 over) of 2000, and January (23 over) of 2001.
Pulled over once more in 2005 or 06 (can't remember) because I'd forgot to turn my headlights on when I left my friends house at 1 am. By the time the cop caught back up to me and pulled me I'd already turned them on so he just let me go.
So in reality, a total of 4 times with 3 resulting in tickets for speeding. My advice is slow your fuckin' role with the gas pedal.
they can look at anything that is in plain sight, and anything you give them permission to look at... thats it... they cant open anything on their own without a warrant or just cause...
and just cause is not popping your hood because you have a modified exhaust... just cause is tearing your car apart because the drug sniffing dog went ape shit when it got to your passenger seat cushion... just cause is popping your trunk because they hear someone kicking at the lid from inside...
if you are clean and you know they wont find anything to hold against you, feel free to be as non compliant as you want... they will try to run all sorts of shit by you to trick you into complying... when you tell them you are not popping your trunk or hood, or that you DO mind if they look around the car, they will almost always say something about how your saying that you dont want them to gives them just cause to do it... thats bullshit... tell them to produce a warrant and you want a lawyer present... they are going to become real dick bags at this point... they are going to keep you there as long as possible and they are going to keep trying to trick you... stop talking to them... anything they say should be answered with "i want my (a) lawyer"... they are probably going to get a dog down there to sniff around your car... they are going to make it hell... and when they dont find anything, they are going to be pissed... because they KNOW you were hiding something... you will likely be pulled over and harassed often after this... stay clean, stick with the non compliance, and keep a log of every time you were pulled over, for what, by who, etc... this will build up a good harassment case if your lawyer is worth a shit
i use to be like everyone else...
-- do you have anything int he car? (what am i going to find on you)
-- no officer, nothing (shit i hope not)
-- do you mind if i look around the car? (i dont believe you)
-- no of course not (please violate my 4th amendment rights)
-- do you know why i pulled you over?
-- i didnt come to a complete stop??
-- do you know how fast you were going?
-- i dont know... about 80??
-- done any drinking tonight?
-- i had one or two a few hours ago
now, i dont comply to any of that shit... aside from license, registration and insurance they get nothing from me
-- do you have anything in the car?
(this one is tricky depending on whether or not im carrying)
-- (if not carrying) no (if carrying) i have a concealed firearm, my permit is in my wallet, what would you like me to do?
-- do you mind if i look around the car?
-- what probable cause do you have?... or... -- i do not concent to you searching my vehicle
-- blah blah blah
-- i do not agree to this unwaranted search, and i would like a lawyer present
-- do you know why i pulled you over?
-- no (hand the cop my L/R/I)
-- do you know how fast you were going?
-- no (hand the cop my L/R/I)
-- done any drinking tonight?
-- no
-- where are you going to/coming from?
-- with all due respect officer, that is none of your business and if i am going to be questioned further i would like a lawyer present.
One cop in my town has it out for me. He has pulled over my friends and generally is a prick, but I get even "better" treatment.But that's the thing. About 10 of the 14 times I was pulled over, I was doing nothing wrong. Their reason for pulling me over was my modified exhaust...it always seems to be the same reason. I rarely speed anymore because I know they are always looking for any little reason to pull me over...the cops in my town SERIOUSLY have nothing to do.
call him out on it like the stuttering stanely part on the sixth sence.Reason I do nothing about it: Right after the first time and the complaint my father was telling the whole story to a friend. The guys 2 sons(about 5 and 7 years older than me) overhear. They say that kid was the biggest dork in HS. And still a little prick. They told me because he was always such a prick he was thrown in the locker room showers at least every week with all his clothes on. It got to the point that he always had a spare set of clothes in the nurse's office. If it happened twice in one day, he got to go home.
Everytime the guy pulls me over I just imagine him soaking wet, head to toe, and cant help but have a shit eating grin on my face the whole time.
Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. A normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow. But he won't know what to make of your blinker signal that says you are about to turn right. This is to let him know you're pulling off for a proper place to talk. It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.
My brother refused a search one time. Cop wouldn't let it go. He said "you can let me search now, or we can sit here until the judge comes in in the morning and issues a search warrant and I will search it anyway. So my brother said fine. I'll wait.
They sat on the side of the road (brother in cuffs now) from 3am to 10am. Another officer arrives, search warrant in hand, drug dog in the back seat. They search my brother's car for an hour or so, looking inside and outside, every nook and cranny, let the dog mosh all over the fucking car, got hair everywhere.. There wasn't a damn thing in the car that was illegal. They even went so far as to threaten to cut his seats up. All for nothing.
Whats interesting is, the judge issued a search warrant because my brother refused the search. So practicing your rights gives them probable cause? Bullshit.
