got pulled over...

[redsoxsstink]

on rt18 north, right after it drops to 55, he was sitting right behind some weeds. i got tagged doing 70. no tickets becuase of my pba card, didnt run any of info either. if he didnt take any of my info is there anyway anyone will find out? i know technically you are supposed to send the card to the holder if they are confiscated. how many cops actually do that?

[maroman88]

why are u worried someone will find out... they dont hafta take the card, or do anything

[BigAls87Z28]

Cant believe an Etown/TF cop let you go. Every time I have been pulled over with a PBA card in those areas, they laugh.

[redsoxsstink]

because i will lose the car because my dad wont pay the insurance, so im freaking out a bit. idk where the cop was from, he was in a unmarked car and i wasnt looking around.

[ap2000z28]

He has your information, well I should say the registered owners info, just from your reg on the vehicle. Did he confiscate the PBA card you produced? As long as you were respectful, judging from your post you were as you did not receive a summons, you will be fine.

[wrong generation]

because i will lose the car because my dad wont pay the insurance, .

if you want to drive shouldnt you pay your own insurance ?? and if the car was in your name you wouldnt have to worry about losing it.

yea he took none of my info and did put anything into the computer, he walked up to my car did his thing gave my stuff back and to the card and drove off. and yes zeek, i should be paying for my own things, but the fact is my dad is because he wants to pay if for me.

[69BirdX]

If he took the card hes most likely going to find out where the card of the officer works and call him. But he doesnt have to give the card back and has the right to take it

[LTb1ow]

Isn't it 65mph there? Or is it 55? Not that huge of a deal better to tell your dad before he finds out and thinks you tried to hide it....

[redsoxsstink]

i really dont care abt the him taking the card. i can get another, one from a former chief of police so. i just want to know the chances of the card getting back to the dectective i got it from

[Blacdout96]

you were doing 70 cause?

[redsoxsstink]

you were doing 70 cause?

cause that was the flow of traffic and the speed limit was 65, he was sitting maybe 100yards into the area where it dropped to 55

[baddest434]

must have been right after where rt.9 exits off 18. i see them sitting behind the bushes there all the time. the limit drops from 65 to 55 in that area.

[redsoxsstink]

exactly. thats the first cop ive ever seen on that part of 18

[79T/A]

Ah, the memories! My dad was a cop long before I was, and gave me his card. The first time I got pulled over, the cop ripped me a new one with several colorful phrases for emphasis (This was before in-car cameras) and followed it up with "I'm sending the card to your father!" I spent months waiting for the axe to fall, but it never did. My guess is the cop had a chuckle at my expense and then threw the card out at the end of his shift. Or stuck it in a map pocket or somewhere else in the car and forgot about it. Whatever the case, I had a few sleepless nights over that one, and couldn't drive without constantly checking my speedometer every few seconds. I got lucky. But these days, you never know. Everything's about the computer now. If he stopped you, he ran the plate. Chances are he could've put it in the computer that he stopped you and gave you a warning, which will show up every time someone runs your plate (If they happen to use the same computer system).

What's supposed to happen is the cop is supposed to give the card to his/her union delegate, who will then take it to the monthly delegates' meeting where they give them back to the delegate of the agency the card came from, and then ultimately that delegate returns it to the cop. What usually happens is that the cop takes it, then sticks it somewhere in the car and forgets about it. But you never know.

IMHO, rather than go through what I did, I would just tell dad and get it over with. You didn't actually get a ticket, so the card did what it was supposed to. I think that most dads are realists (Being a father of two boys, one almost ready to drive, the other only driving Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars for now) and understand that if their son is driving a nice car, he's gonna get pulled over sooner or later. Better he find out from you than someone else later on. It may draw immediate consequences and some hollerin', but it will be far worse if he knows you were hiding it. Might actually build some trust and credibility in your character. Just my two cents.

[Blacdout96]

Just be honest, tell him what happened, but one thing stnds out in your story. you said you were moving with the flow of traffic at 70, if thats the case, why did he pull you over, and not a car infront or behind you? that doesnt make sense.

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah i would definitely tell your father. its almost speed entrapment from the way you put it but just be honest and happy you got a smack of realization in the head.

edit: blacdout, young kid in a bright colored sports car? hrm......:lol:

[Blacdout96]

It just sounds like he was doing something more then just being in a sports car that made him stand out form the traffic. I understand profiling, but if he's got loud exhaust, or held a gear out to sound the high RPMs, of course he'll stand out like a sore thumb lol. I don't think a cop would waste his time, picking his way through traffic just to get to him and pull him over, just to turn around and not even give him a warning in the end....

happen to me i was in the middle lane going 50 on cruise control no tints , stock exhaust t-top off playing "can't drive 55" . on route 1 down by new Brunswick , out of nowhere a car jumps the curb then flies up in my lane so i get over as quick as i can, lights come on undercover charger ....like ok what i do, he gave me a 3 tickets improper lane change (i was like you came up behind me like a mad man i was on going 50), a ticket for illegal modification for my t-top he said i cut the roof of the car ... like WOW ok tell the other 13000+ firebird that was made with t-top, ... then careless driving i was like WOW all this for what i went to court and got them all dropped and said the cop was profiling (black male in a red sports car) i had to be up to no good right ....:wink:

i love it lol and Blackdout red camaro, jealous cop is a possibility. I had a incident one time and a cop saw my black 95 Z28 and he spent like 15 minutes talking to me about the car it was pretty funny to be honest.

[redsoxsstink]

My car is un modded my t tops weren't off I wAsn't out of gear. I was in the flow of traffic so he prolly was profling, bt idk why he didn't ticket me then, maybe it was my card or my friendly attitude that got me out of it idk I don't really care

[IROCZman15]

cops dont always give tickets. its not something anyone is required to do. its an option the officer has. lots of times a pba or fop card helps, but not if you are involved in a serious or somewhat serious driving violation. dont worry so muhc. the officer probably will never think about that traffic stop again. if he gave you a warning, thats where it ends.

[edpontiac91]

What ever happened to having a RADAR DETECTOR in your cars. I have an ESCORT SOLO (battery powered so no cord shows) and clip it onto my passenger sunvisor and it really takes a load off your mind not having to check your speed every minute. Just don't be an AHOLE and abuse it by thinking it will save your ass, because it will NOT work with LASER!

unless someone wants to me me theirs, im not spending $300 bucks on one... and your right it wont save my ass, it will only garentee my ass and ticket if i get pulled over regardless of a pba card

[LTb1ow]

Never made a difference when I used to get pulled over all the time back in my high school days..

Lost my PBA card all to soon :(

But, lost count of the times I got pulled over, and no points except for one BS thing and rear ending someone... :lol:

Go on eBay! They have them for under $100.00 and even less, some have sold for around $50-$70. They are legal in this state and the fact that I clip mine to the passenger sunvisor means you can't see it because there is no cord showing and it is out off sight.:nod:

[WildBillyT]

Sounds like a long thread about nothing. You got dinged, but he didn't take your info other than probably your plates. Looks to me like you got off fine with nothing more than a good wake up call.

lolz doubt it.

[edpontiac91]

The cordless models I have are the ESCORT SOLO 5 (older model which uses 4 AA batteries) and the SOLO RD-5110 (which uses 2 AA batteries) and allows you to preset your personal modes and has a battery meter that lets you know when they are getting low. All the much newer models cost a hellava lot more money and do not do that much more. I have had these units for 3 or 4 years and they still do a great job with K-X-Ka & Laser bands. Also the ESCORT models do a pretty good job at keeping the false signal beeps to a low sensitivity.

hey yea how you know u seen me hahahah

[MyFirstZ]

pulled over on rt 17 in mahwah.

Got a little excited and just took off as soon as i was in the merging lane, heard the gmmg's so i just kept going into third when i saw his car and slammed my brakes. Pulled right into the gas station since he was already moving once i was passing him.

Clocked me at 87 mph, somewhere in third. 55 mph zone

cop "that thing freaking moves! , you just get the car"
me "laughed" no, just havent gotten to really drive it"
cop "just come out of a gas station ?"
me "no was just trying to merge, you know how this road can be a pain"
cop "yeah, license and registration, you have any point or anything i should know about on your license?"
me "2 in ny"
cop "none in jersey, alright, dont worry"

few minutes later comes back with a ticket for not having my insurance on me, told me just to stop at the court house and show them then i will be on my way and to slow down.

man did i get lucky with this guy. i really got to slow down. I blame the GMMG's

[LTb1ow]

What a meany.

[maroman88]

bcpd or mahwah pd?

[JerzLT1]

this is actually 3 times that i got pulled over in the last couple weeks.

the first time i was on my bike riding on Rt 30 through waterford. 50mph speed limit and i was cruising at 70 (its easy to speed on a bike without realizing it). i saw the cop car, looked down and saw how fast i was going and immediately pulled over before the cop even got on the road. by the time she got behind me with the lights on i was already pulled over with my helmet off (waiting for her to ask for my credentials before i get off of the bike). She says "i have to give you credit for actually stopping" and asks how long ive been in the military. talked for a few minutes before she handed me my stuff back and said to slow down and have a nice day.

Got pulled over again on the bike by an officer for passing 2 cars on the shoulder at a light for me to make a right hand turn. he rides bikes as well and just pulled me over to tell me that one of his buddies just got put out of work for a year because someone cut over when he was doing the same thing that i did. told me to be safe and just let me slide.

and last but not least i got pulled over in my truck for having tinted windows. He said he only pulled me over because theyre really dark and he couldnt even see me. i only drive with the windows up when its really humid for the air conditioning and i like how dark it is in the truck even during the day. wasnt expecting to be let go but he gave me a warning and asked that i get it taken care of.

in every one of these circumstance i expected to get a ticket because i was doing something wrong. it may have been a professional courtesy being in the military or due to the fact that i did everything possible to make the officers feel comfortable with the stop (hands on the steering wheel, keys out of the ignition) and spoke to them with respect. Ive been pulled over a lot and can honestly say that ive had maybe 2 bad experiences (one that wasnt warranted at all) and one of them was because i doubled the speed limit. anyone else have any good experiences? you usually only hear about the bad ones

[MyFirstZ]

it was mahwah, it was towards the sheraton (sp) hotel on the north bound side up here by 287.

[MyFirstZ]

anytime i have gotten pulled over i try and do the same, windows down by the time they walk up. Always courteous, since i am always doing something wrong. Never got a reduction from an 87 to a no insurance

[maroman88]

yea figured.... if it was bcpd, ud have a hand full lol

So you are really going to cut off the muffler and weld in a straight pipe? Wow, I thought that was a joke.

no harm no foul, and it'll still be legal than catless xD

it will be a ticket machine as well as sounds like a POS. Good luck.

aww really? only reason i think it'd sound nice is cuz my friend welded a straight pipe on his 2011 wrx and it sounds nice cruising, idling, and when he goes into rally mode. lol
