just got away with some stupid stuff

[79CamaroDiva]

Funny story for tonight.. I just got away with the stupidest **** ever! I was leaving the diner, and my friend told me to light 'em up in the parking lot to show one of his friends what it could do. So i do a nice big smokey burnout, then pull out of the parking lot to a light, make the turn, and theres a cop, sitting right there just getting done with someone else pulled over. He watches me as I go by and sure enoguh, before I got to the traffic light 1/4 mile down the road he had me pulled over. Before he even gets to me, he feels my tires.
Basic transcript....

Him: Hi. License, registration, insurance please. Was that you spinning your tires at the traffic light?
Me: No sir, not at the traffic light.
Him: Then who was it back there spinning their tires?
Me: That was me in the diner parking lot. I'm sorry.
Him: How come? Clearing it out? Getting some anger out?
Me: Well, uhh, there was a girl from out of town and my friend wanted me to show her what it could do. I'm real sorry, it was dumb.
Him: Well, I can appreciate your honesty, I dont condone doing that, but I can understand. It might change how this will turn out. Is your license in good standing?
Me: Yes sir, it's perfect.
So he goes away and comes right back.
Him: Here you go, like I said, I don't condone it, but I can completely understand. Have a nice night. (starts walking away) And thank you for being honest!
Me: Thank you SOOOOO much (insert big smile here)

Oh my god, im still trembling from the mixture of coffee and 'oh ****.' And it was a cop from a known town that NEVER lets people off from anything (Washington Twp). I can't believe I got away with it. Anyhoo, thats my story for the night I figured theres enough bad cop stories out there... this guy was just friggen cool.

[BlueFBird]

umm my bro in law works for washington twp pd haah ill ask him if it was him.. prob not

[Savage_Messiah]

nice... lucky.

I did a burnout once (with 3.08 open, mind you)... basiaclly there wa sa cloud of smoke the size of the shopping center i worked at... someone called the fire dept and all the cops and firemen showed up, big rig and all... good stuff

[JPiZZiJP]

I got out of a 130 mph speeding ticket on the parkway. Ask j0n.

Beat that. lol

[j0n]

lmfao...i still dunno how ya pulled that off

[V]

well thats one thing we learned in criminal justice classes, cops dont always want to give tickets,(some do though) but most just want you to feel stupid and know you were wrong and admit it, if you say "i wasnt speeding" or "i didnt know"...you're basically getting a ticket. if you do something wrong, say "yes officer, i'm an *******."..and youll be better off...i know for a fact

[unstable bob gable]

Geez, I had a cop in "Manhole" {Manville} ready to write me a ticket on Sat night because I took up 2 spaces in a basically empty parking lot when i stopped to pick up a pizza! :roll: Oh well, at least he didn't write it!

[bad64chevelle]

damn, you got lucky on that! Thanks god that every cop isnt out there to be a dick. I got out of a little "Agressive driving" however the cop only heard me, which lead to him seeing the speeding orange car, and lead to me pulled over. Yeah he pulled me over, asked for licence and registration and then asked me what was under the hood :roll:

justin there are 2 washington twp's there. Washington Twp Morris County which is right next to H'town and has a diner right on Rt 46 which is most likely the town and then there is Washington Twp Warren County which is about 15 minutes away which is the town i'm a dispatcher for. I'm guessing it was morris county, but maybe she can fill us in on which town it was.

Actually I'm not sure which county it was for, but I'm pretty sure it was Morris county. The only reason I knew he worked for Washington Twp was cause I looked in the rear view when he turned around and it was a blue car. But I don't remember what the Warren County cops cars are like.

Well, just so you know, there's actually 4 Washingtown Twps. Another in Mercer and the last in either Gloucester or Camden County, can't rememeber. Not that you were down south to be in any of those.

Oops, yeah, thought that one had been mentioned already, lol. So there are 5. Morris, Warren, Bergen, Mercer, and Gloucester counties.

[skorpion317]

the one in Bergen isn't Washington Twp., i don't think. it's just Washington.

[Savage_Messiah]

No, it's Washington Township.

[skorpion317]

No, it's Washington Township.

hmm....the sign off the Parkway just says "Washington." I'll look at it tonite when I'm in Westwood.

[Savage_Messiah]

Wanna put 50 bucks on it? I could use some cash...

[ShitOnWheels]

No, it's Washington Township.

It's township, at least that's what the sign says as you cross from Westwood. :)

[enRo]

Theres a Washington Boro somewhere. Pretty sure thats Morris.

[jimmyboy8301]

washington boro is warren county right in the center of washington twp warren county. I realize there are more than 2 washigton twp's i'm talking relative to hackettstown though. As for the police cars there is no actual warren county police department. We have a sheriffs department and 12 independent police department , with each department having different looking cars. You said the Washington Twp cars are blue, thats Morris COunty, the washington twp warren county cars are black on the front and back and white in che center.

I don't completely agree with that.... If it's something blatantly stupid like 79camarodiva's situation (no offense, i've done stupid things just liek that myself lol), then yes, better to be honest....

...but sometimes if you think you are being pulled over unjustly, or you know that the cop wasn't able to clock you on the radar... the first thing they'll ask you is "do you know how fast you were going?" Regardless of how fast I am going, I always say "The posted speed limit." If you say "I know I was speeding, I'm sorry", they can give you a ticket based on your admission of guilt right there, even if they don't have you clocked. If you say the "speed limit", they can't give you a speeding ticket if they hadn't clocked you, but hey might give you something else (like, a broken light ticket or some other no-pointer).

I've gotten out of several tickets simply because the cop saw me ZOOMING (literally, zooming) through traffic, however he didn't have me clocked, yet he still pulled me over. When he comes to the car and asks "How fast were you going?" and I reply with "The posted speed limit," he's got nothing to go by other than a visual, which doesn't really justify anything and all he can do is give me a warning and say "slow down.'

i dont agree with that at all...if the officer sees u "zooming" through traffic, pulls u over and u give him a smart ass answer like the speed limit and he didnt have u clocked like u said...ur gettin slapped with somethin prob as much as he can. The best thing to do is jus tell the stright out truth cause u kno cops get that lien **** all day and they dont tolarate it. it complicate their job...u tell the truth and dont start blabin out some dumb ass excuse or how ur not guilty, thats a bad move. tell the truth ull se what good it gets u, lie and its ur goin to get caught and its goin to affect u.

You've gotta have the right read on the cop. Specifically with State Troopers, if he comes over and outrightly says "License, registration and insurance card please," you can be sure he was clocking you, and you're being videotaped at that point and he will be conducting the traffic stop with the utmost of professionalism (Since you're being recorded, State Trooopers will take their job very seriously if you're being recorded). However, if he comes over and he's like "Well what's the hurry today?? You got a fire or something to go to?" You have a lot more leigh-weigh. In a situation where the doesn't seem like he's doing things exactly by the book and just trying to give you a hard time, I would never admit guilt to anything.

There are other times where I'm sure that the cop had a radar lock on me, and I won't even put up a fight. I will put my emergency blinkers as soon as I see him pull out into traffic (even before he gets his lights on), and pull over to the shoulder before he even catches up to me. Times like that I will say "I'm sorry, you caught my hand in the cookie jar" or something to that effect.

Please note though, I don't suggest these ideas to everyone... to each their own, you know? I've had enough experiences with cops (my father used to be one as well) where I have a good enough read as to who is conducting a serious stop and who is just trying to mess with me. When I was younger, I used to get pulled over in a nearby town ALL the time on their main drag, where they're notorious for pulling people over for doing 1-2 miles over the speed limit down Main Street in their town (my dad included, even my friend's parents, have been pulled over and simply hassled on this road), so I know when I drive down that road, I am doing EXACTLY, if not under the speed limit). Their justification was, "Young kid, fast red car, probably doing something wrong". I would get pulled over and get hassled, constantly. "Where ya goin son? How fast were you goin? You know you got a taillight out??" (When I really didn't have a taillight out). "Do you know the posted speed limit?" etc. etc. to the point where if I knew I was extremely confidence that I wasn't doing anything wrong, that I'd tell the cop outright, "**** you, I wasn't doing anyhthing wrong, stop giving me a hard time. My father's a retired cop and I know you love to hassle people in this town." To which they'd reply, "Sorry son, didn't know your dad was a cop. Drive safe, have a good evening." This is why I keep a PBA shield in my window. Sadly, it does gain you a slight bit more respect with law enforcement. Maybe this is why I can get away with the things I do get away with... but I do feel that having the proper read on the officer pulling you over will help you giving the right response.

ANOTHER CRAZY COP THREAD!!!!

*puts on the Benny Hill music*

I belive my friend said this to an officer one late night after we were pulled over for speeding....
"Most cops are dicks"
I nearly had a heart attack/stroke.

[Savage_Messiah]

I dont fully agree with any of you lol. Yes if it's something blatant and if the cop seems lax I will be honest and straightforward with him, but I was told by my 2nd cousin (retired Yonkers cop) that for something liek speeding, or anything which you might be fighting the ticket (he told me anything at all but i think its flexible) to NEVER admit your guilt. Could be different over in NY tho..

that came out that night in TR at the Wawa talking with those two cops. they seemed cool, seemed like they could take a comment like that and they let it go by without a blink.

i'd have to agree it's all about knowing who you are dealing with. he could be the coolest cop in town and just be having a bad night, or he could be the biggest prick and might have just gotten a blowjob.
