My Run-In With the Law..lol
 

Well last night 4 friends and I went to a concert in Ventura, CA. On our way back, the 126 ( the highway to Ventura ) comes to a town called Phillmore, which is very short and the speedlimit drops to about 40. At the second stoplight in town I notice a cop behing me with lights on, so I pull over to the first street and stop. He asks me for all my stuff, and notices that I am still 17 and haven't finished my restricted period of driving ( Can't drive past 12am ). He tells me that I was going 70 in a 45, but I probably was so I didn't argue at all. He asked if there was anyone else in the car who was 18 years old, and when my friend in the passenger seat said yeah he asked us to get out of the car. He looked at his license, and told us that he would have to drive my parents car the rest of the way home, and the if my friend let me drive at all he could be thrown in jail. He ended up letting us go, and I didn't get a curfew ticket or a speeding ticket, which was lucky as hell because that fast I think I lose my license ed: . Just thought I would share. biggrin:

speeding hake:

speeding is fun , especially when ur going 80 in a 40 mph zone evil:

Ja. yah I dont agree with that thing the cops do. WHere they throw someone in jail for not even knowing the person is 17. Or drunk mind you. My funniest story with the police is when I was chased by one with my pants around my ankles. Remind me to tell you sometime.

He should have checked your vehicle for possesion of narcotics.

getting some road head trick?

People always speed out of the parking lot at my school, it's a really closed in area when the students are allowed to park and they like go 60, and people walk past there. One day someone is gonna get hit.

Congrats on beating the ticket. It probably helped that you were polite to the Officer.

or 90 in a 30 zone

Yeh exactly, I knew there was no point in arguing cuz I was obviously guilty, so I just did what he asked. But yeah, very lucky. hehe

Your lucky he didn't take your lisence man.

DeadBolt if i was a cop i would take that fucking liscence of a you. Seen too much blood shed from my friends speeding.

Yeh I know. LoL I was scared outta my arse

my firend got his taken away for going 25 over. And that kid never speeds. I think he just did it to impress the girls... you know them boys. Sily silly boys. eek: ed:

I'm pretty surprised he didn't take your license. I know 126, I live 5 miles from Six Flags, and that is a two lane, narrow highway, with lots of opportunities for fools to get killed. Something else that may have contributed to to your getaway...there was a gang killing in Fillmore last night. Maybe he thought you were the getaway vehicle at first, then let you go because he had other things to do. Fillmore is little podunk agriculture town, not much happening AT ALL.

Well Deadbolt, you may know me pretty well from chats, but I agree on what he did. The Police Officer did the same thing I would of done (I had that heppen to me as a teen driving without my glasses). That traffic stop, when I was 16, took such a positive effect on me, that years later I would become one. There has only been a few times that I have stopped a minor for curfew, and had the car towed, issued 3-5 citations, and had the parents come pick him/her from the station. I am not a cop who is a prick, but I will tell you a few things that will help anyone in a traffic stop.

First, DO NOT reach for your wallet or move until the Officer comes to your car. (Moving will only make the Officer more suspicious)

Second, Tell the officer what you are going to do before you do it. Example: When reaching for wallet/insurance cards. (This helps you gain his/her trust)

Third, Dont give any attitude. This will only make things worse. (I find more tickets to write if I get attitude....They will too)

Fourth, Tell the truth, admit your mistake. Most times if you are completly honest, they will cut you a break. I do... Always tell the Officer "Thank You" even if you are mad from the outcome. Remember, we put our lives on the line for you!

Just remember those 4 things and it will make the stop more pleasant.

By the way, the fastest I ever stopped was a VERY HOT lady. She was going 79 in a 35. Sadly I must say that she was issued a ticket. Not just 1, but 3 and had her car towed. Speeding, no insurance (automatic tow), and expired plates.

yeah I did all those things man, he was a pretty cool guy. and once again, i was very lucky biggrin:

Meh....I don't have much respect for cops down here these days.

I've witnessed brutality first-hand. Infact, a friend of mine took a photo of a young guy getting the shit beaten out of him for talking back to the police, at a party down here. It was awful to see it happen, people started calling shit out to the cops, and eventually somebody threw a bottle and they put the guy they were beating in a paddywagon....Still, it's truly awful to see. To bad it's taken with a bollocks disposable camera....I'll try and get it scanned and post it....

I've also been talked to numerous times by the police, I've never been caught for anything or arrested. The most amusing encounter happened about a year ago when I was fair-liquored up and taking a piss out the front fence of a party, along come the police riot-squad, torches in hand....I get a fucking spot-light on me, mid-piss...."HEY! What the hell are you doing? That's disgusting!" He says.... I was so embarresed I tucked my piece in and scampered into the shadows.

Hhahahaahahah scampered into the shadows lol. Thats great. biggrin:
