Whats the most Stupid thing a Cop has said to you

The ones around here always ask me for my historical vehicle log. When I tell them that Missouri doesn't do that anymore they argue then eventually give up after they figure out that I'm smarter than them.

 

Quite a comparison.... I'm not aware of any police officers in our country involved with killing millions of people, if that day ever comes then we are all screwed.[/QUOTE]
My point was that just doing your job is not justification for everything!! So, maybe I should have used a different analogy to make my point to masses.

 

We have a winner!

 

ok....you gotta realize my frame of mind when this happened so don't be hatin'

I was out of the military just one day and was back in my little dinky hometown. I'm no hero, but I'd seen some stuff during my tour that people shouldn't see...so I was mentally fatigued to say the least.

The first thing I did was dust off my 54 Ford and take it for a spin around town. I'm about 100 yards away from pulling into my dad's driveway when the newbie Barney Fife cop lights up behind me.

"Barney" comes to my window and tells me he pulled me over because I was a suspicious vehicle.

I asked, "are you serious...that's all you stopped me for?"

He said yes. So, without saying a word, I rolled up the window and slowly pulled away....leaving him standing in the road. He stood there in disbelief for a second then followed me back to my house with lights and siren blaring, while I ignored him and drove about 15 mph into my dads driveway

I get out and walk into the house and shut the door while "Barney" is standing out in the driveway with the siren blaring.

My dad is sitting on the couch and asks what the hell all the racket is outside. I tell him and he proceeds to go outside and tell the guy to turn off the racket, get back to work and quit bothering his son for stupid crap.

Yes...I know I should've had a polite conversation with him, but compared to what I REALLY wanted to do to the guy, ignoring him and driving home was pretty tame.

 

"Aren't you in my son's class? You can't be more than 14 years old. Do you parents know you're driving their car?"

 

the easiest thing I can think of is "we vandalian's dont like you hot rodders" specifics would take too long to write. so to conclude; F$ck the vandalia police...that is all.

 

Cop-I've been waiting here just for you

Kid-Sorry officer, I got here as fast as I could

 

Damn funny. A cop with a sense of humour. Thats something we need more of...

Thats more like it...

 

We´ve all met that guy. Too long on the job and some of these guys seem to see a murderer hiding behind every tree.
It´s not entirely surprising either, but I wish they´d look for another job when they reach that point.

 

That's the thing. If I start in on the whole "Look here's a printout of the law" I've found that the typical officer is going to take it as me calling him a dumbfuck who doesn't know his job. That rarely ends well.

So I smile, take the ticket, go to court, get it dismissed, and in this case dismissed with great prejudice.

For the few times it's happened, a quick conversation with the cop usually clears it up, I got stopped by the Bergen County Police not too long ago when they were doing a seatbelt check, told the guy that the car was a 54, didn't have seat belts from the factory and he just glanced at the registration, saw it was a '54 and let me go.

 

The stupidest thing I ever herd was, take your car to Lancaster (local speedway) to test and tune it. On his defense he didn't know I couldn't pass tech without a roll cage in the roadster, so it was illegal there too...lol

 

Actually said he was going to charge my friend and I with "acessory to lying" we walked away shortly thereafter never to hear from him again.

 

i got called a "punk hot rodder" when i was 17. makes me laugh to this day!

 

I was riding my black 69 shovelead one day wearing my black leather jacket. Pulled away from a light behind a slow, smoking, turd of a stationwagon. A motorcycle cop pulls me over. I pulled onto a side street to get out of traffic, shut it off and wait. He comes up for the license and registration and I produce them. He reads, writes and makes about 3 or 4 laps around my bike, and doesn't say a word. After a few minutes I had to ask why I was stopped. He says he is going to write me a ticket for no mufflers. I let him go on for a bit and then piped up politely that the drag pipes did have baffles, 2 sets in fact. He says the law doesn't say baffles it says mufflers. [Actually he was wrong on that, the law says "mufflers or muffling device"] He explained in his best educational manner, that mufflers go back and get big at the end like on his police bike. I nod like I'm an idiot "I see". Didn't push it, finally he stops writing. "You say it has baffles huh? I don't see any baffles." "They'er in there sir." He pulls out his billy club, shoves it in the pipes and hits something. He says "Mr. _____ can you afford a $65 muffler ticket? I figured I was already in trouble anyway so I said "Well, If I don't get a $65 muffler ticket I can afford to buy some mufflers." He didn't want to but he let out a little chuckle and a bit of a grin. No ticket no warning. Told me to take that thing straight home and don't bring it out until it has mufflers. I consulted my J.C. Whitney catalog and ordered mufflers. They had glasspacks and steelpacks. Glasspacks were a dollar more. I've had glasspacks on cars and they get loud so I ordered steelpacks. Get them and I find the steelpacks ARE glasspacks with no glass packing. Put them on and it was louder than the baffles. Hey, I tried.

 

Alabama, Mississippi. . . it was 4am and I was driving for four hours already. . . but thanks for the geography lesson, I appreciate it greatly.

 

With the Plymouth... "You do realize that I had to follow you for almost 9 miles before I could find something to pull you over for..." Moments later he had my louvered AZ plate LEC-188 in his grubby hands as being "mutilated". I am told that my plate is still on the wall at the watch commanders office almost 15 years later.

 

Have you been drinking? Walk that line.... without a net?

 

I was driving along I seen the red and blue lights behind me and pull over, It was raining the cop pulls up next to me winds down his window and yells to me "fix your tail light it looks like shit" then drives off. The socket was messed up so it wasn't lighting properly.

 

Coming back from Minn to NJ towing the funny car on a open trailer i get pulled over in IL for 103 in a 55 at 4am cop wants to know when the last time i sleeped was i tell him and he tells me that two exits up is a truck stop and if he drives by there in 2 hours i better still be there sleeping. Then as he walks away he tells me that im not driving the race car you towing it LOL
One nite towing back from atco raceway i get pulled over for speeding the cop asked me the Do you know how fast you were going so i hand him the time slip from the car and say 8.96 at 157 he looked at me with a blank face and didnt have a reply to that one .

 

Years ago a cop stopped me going the wrong way on a one way street.He asked me didn't you see the arrow. Trying to impress my buddies, I said, didn't even see the Indians! Not hard to figure out if I got a ticket?

 

A few years into college the party in the backyard got a little out of hand, since i was the "most" responsible/sober one that lived there, i got to chat with the officer.
I gave him my ID, which was probably the same one from my high school days & he looks at it and says "looks like you put on a little weight"!

 

Aweome stories and better lies. Keep it comin

 

I have been pulled over three times for loud exhaust. Once more when I changed lanes while not holding down on the stalk hard enough to flash the turn light. I have never received a ticket. I'm calm and courteous. Police officers have a difficult job. My cousins are state troopers in NY as was their father. You couldn't pay me enough to do their job. Dealing with assholes, drunks, fatal crashes, domestic situations, etc.

When they are walking up to your car they have no idea who you are or what is going to happen. They have to be stern and cautious for their safety. Just because you want to be a dick to them and think their questions are stupid doesn't make it right.

The way I see people drive today makes me sick. If I was a cop I'd have about 80% of the driver's pulled over. I drive 5 over the speed limit everywhere. I am CONSTANTLY tailgated and passed by assholes who want to run 15-20 over on two lane roads. No one stops for right on reds anymore, if they slow down to 20 mph you're asking for a lot. That one second you glance and go could kill an innocent motorcyclist or pedestrain. If you're lucky the least that would happen would be you getting T-boned. People tailgate and road hog and act like complete fucking assholes and think they are good drivers. It's despicable and I hate it.

I hate driving during rush hour because it's twice as worse as normal. Just yesterday I had some fuckhead in a Focus all over my ass on the way home. I was forth in a line of cars and he's all over me like it's my fault. What does he want me to do? Pass everyone on the double yellow so he can get wherever he is going 2 min faster? I go so sick of it that I brake checked him hard until he got the message. Get THE FUCK OFF MY ASS!! This morning my neighbor passed me in the 40 mph residential area. I was doing about 45. Judging by the rate he caught me he was doing about 60. I have seen that car do this before. It's ridiculous. People are assholes, plain and simple. And it's not just a few, it's becoming the majority.

Maybe the reason all of you seem to dislike the police so much is that you're one of the people that terrorizes the road every day and thinks it's your right and everyone else be damned. I wish there was more of a police presence, especially at rush hour. It's obvious that something needs to change. Is it that hard to follow the rules of the road??? Apparently for most it is.

So the next time you're pulled over instead of thinking of the cop as an idiot or a dick maybe you should think about how you drive like an asshole most of the time and it's lucky you only get pulled over once in a while.
