One time I got caught speeding and was given a ticket because I told the cop I didn't know how fast I was going.
Several months later, I got caught again and was given a ticket because I acknowleged my speed, basically admitting my guilt.
Never try to switch it up with the cops. Pick one method and stick with it.

I've been pulled over several times in my life, and have only 2 tickets ... which is amazing because I've been driving for longer than some of you have been on this Earth ... There's one town by here where the cops will get on your bumper at one end of town and follow you, trying to get you to mess up so they can pull you over. I'm not kidding, one day I had one on my tail from 2 miles out of town, all the way through town (which was about a 5 mile trip before they redid the roads), and 2 miles out of town before they got bored and went to mess with someone else. I know this because I've talked to others, and I'm not the only one they do this to ...
Anyway, I always joke that one time ... just one time when they pull me over and ask me if I know why they pulled me over ... I want to do some of that facial mugging that Bill Cosby did on his show and say, "Because I'm black?"
I never do because if I do something like that, I just know that they'll find extra things to ticket me for.
The best ticket story I've heard was from this one guy at a party. he was in a wheelchair and one night he was at a friend's house and they were pretty drunk. For some reason, his friend wanted to go to the convenience store down the street and pick up some item. So he figured he'd ride along so his friend put him in the passenger seat and they drove to the store.
On the way home, they are pulled over by the authorities. The cop is reading his friend the riot act and his partner goes over to the passenger side of the vehicle. The cop yells at him to get out of the car. He explains to the cop that he's paralyzed from the waist down and can't stand.
Well, the cop thought he was bluffing and pulled him out of the car and let him go ... He dropped to the ground and sat there, and it finally dawned on the cop that he was indeed paralyzed. So he starts asking the cops for their badge numbers, and they cops look at one another and get back into their car and drive off.
At least his bud got out of a drinking citation ...

I got pulled over for speeding in a school zone. It was one minute before it changed back to the normal speed limit, and there were no flashing lights indicating a school zone, so I didn't get a ticket. I asked the officer if he wanted to give me a cavity search, but he wouldn't comply.

Sounds like a nice guy. I got pulled over for going 80 in a 55 once. I was angrily passing someone who was going 40 and got nailed. The cop was very nice though. He gave me the ticket, but knocked the speed down to 70. If he had reported it at 80, I could've gotten nailed for wreckless driving.

One time, I was going, for the sake of argument, we'll say "north." I was going to the gas station, and there was a cop, possibly a highway patrol car coming the other way towards me. It's important to keep "highway patrol" in mind since this is the city we're in. I'm driving OK, it's late at night so I don't have my music loud or anything, and we're the only to cars on the road. Just as he passes me, he WHIPS AROUND, does a complete U-turn in the middle of a city road across an entire lane, and pulls up DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. I turned into the gas station and he kept on going, leaving me wonder..."WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ALL OF THAT?" I hate cops that are dicks just for the sake of being dicks. how many times did he say "meow"? "License and registration...CHICKENf***ER?!"

I've been pulled over twice. The first time I got a ticket, but I managed to get the cop to tear it up. The second time I got off scott free; I sold the cop a song and dance about needing to get home to my sick dad (which was technically true, but I hinted at it being more serious than it was), so he let me off with just a warning.

There was one time that I was driving to Ball State University to get my stuff after i dropped out. My dad let me borrow his truck to load the stuff in easily. About half way there, I slow down because I see a state trooper ahead that pulled someone else over. When I get to the cars, the other car pulls away and the trooper waves me in.
I give him my license and registration (by this time im scared to death and ready to be upset). And he asks why I have a truck registered to someone else. In tears I explain the situation, but it does no good. I get a ticket for going 70 in a 55. That assclown....
