What's luckiest break a cop has given you?

[straycat]

Back in '84 I was coming from San Diego and heading to Florida in my 83 Z28 that was highly modified and lowered more then stock height of course. I was running at about 100mph when I went over the Arizona state line and saw a trooper sitting on the side of the road. He came after me and I pulled over. He walked up to my driver's door and said 'How fast you going'? I did some sign language and talked with a mutterd sound and he said 'Oh, great!! Another mute'!! The he put his hands together and said ' Slooowww Dooown. Please….slooowww Doooown and live'!!

He let me go!!!

My first car was a used 92 BMW 325i, fast as hell, i was doing 80 on the freeway and was following an unmarked cruiser, my exit came up and i had to cut across all four lanes to make it. after my "lane change" i ended up in front of a sheriff, he pulled up next to me, looked at me, i looked at him and smiled. he got behind me and put on his lights, i pulled over right at the beginning of the overpass i was on, just to play dumb a bit. he told me to continue onto the overpass and so i did. he didnt. he just went on his way.

another good one: before i could drive i rode my long board around town, i was on the bike path and carved to miss a rock. there was a wannabe lance armstrong behind me and he hit me. we both get up and he starts cussing at me and shoves me, as i go to shove him back a cop is driving by and he slams on his breaks, pulls up on the curb, gets out of his car and pulls his gun and yells get the f&^k on the ground! so we did. the officer handcuffs ONLY ME and asks the biker what happened while i had to "sit there and shut up" he lets the cyclist go and begins to lecture me about "proper skateboarding attire" (i was in shorts and no shirt as it was hot out) i asked him if he'd ever skated before and he said no so i asked him how he knew what "proper attire" was then. he goes "do you want to go to jail?!" and i asked for what, he said for being a smart ass. i said thats not a crime and he let me go.

last week during a local festival i got back on the road behind a parade, most of the other cars that were out there with me turned off at different points and i soon ended up behind the end of the parade which consisted of 3 police cars, ther was one other car there with me, a 97-98 taurus. it didnt seem to stay in its lane. i was coming up beside it and it was trying to crowd me over. i was in the wife's blazer and when he tryed to crowd me more as my lane was ending, i swirved real quick over to him and then back to my lane. he hits the brakes then speeds up next to me hollering in a real qeer sounding voice "hey, what do you think your doing" i didnt even look over, i just rolled up the window and he speeds up, cuts in front of me and steps out of the car.........in full uniform, he askes just what was i doing trying to hit him, i said im trying to maintain my lane, you cant seem to stay in one. he then tells me to be patient and gets back in his car and leaves. i figured i was dead meat, i didnt have a seat belt on (never do) and the swerve thing could have been wrote up as reckless op. guess i should look before swerveing!

I was 16 and was driving my ford contour back from getting pizza at my uncles pizza place in a small town 10-20 minutes away. Was cruising on 25A and was about to pass a graveyard, when i noticed a sheriff behind me with his lights on..look down, and im doing 80 in a 55. Pull over at a public office building, asks if i know why he pulled me over and i said speeding, but sir, my cruise control is messed up(really was, would act up and speed up and stuff) and he asks for my information (im 17 at the time). Runs it all and asks to speak to my mom, so i call her up and they chat. He returns and goes "well, im not going to give you a ticket because i don't want you to pay for it, and i don't want you to lose your license"

I said thank you sir, and i left..driving down back roads!

Florida state trooper pulled me over for a burnt headlight. He smelled alcohol on me(most likely cause I was buzzed real good) I barely failed the stupid human tricks, and he let me go.

I have never been given a break by a cop. Acting my best and being polite as hell has never worked. Next stop I am going to be a jerk and just take the ticket and rip it up in front of him.

I got a verbal warning for a 35 in a 25 back when I was in high school. It probably helped that not far away it went from 25 to 35.

To be completly honest I was getting a run for a hill... it is a nasty hill, honest

I was pulled over for that and a fix it ticket for the tinted windows in my Laser after I got it... not too bad for 10 years of driving (knocking on wood)

I got a verbal warning from a Bonham P.D. occifer in 2000 in my 2wd Ranger for cruising in town with just my park lights on at night.

I got pulled over in Florence KY for doig 110 mpg in a 55. Cop was on the on ramp just past the water tower running radar. I pulled over as soon as I saw his lights. He asked if I was in a hurry. I said yes, I got a bad hangover and just trying to get home. He wrote me up for 14 over. I didnt realize it till I got home.

About a year ago I was coming back from a little muddin, still dripping mud, going about 90 in a 65 when hi po gets behind me out of nowhere, so I start slowing down. Get to about 50, and a deer jumps out, I swerve and miss it narrowly, he slams his brakes and nails it as we both come to a stop. He gets out, checks his damage, checks the deer for any life left, and tells me to wait on the tailgate of my truck. so I'm waiting to be instructed to do something, as bambi starts freaking out on the ground while the cop's back is turned radio-ing in the incident. I jump off the tailgate as a hoof sweeps the cop on his ass by taking out an ankle. I stuck the little whitetail in the neck with my kershaw as it started hoofin the crap out of him.

Blah blah blah, pointless details later, cop shakes my hand, says thanks for not driving off when I had the chance, and tells me to hit the dusty trail.

I have two, but the first one was just the cop being in the right place.

The first time I got pulled over was on my GSXR 750. I had owned the bike for about two months or so and I was trying it out on a strip of highway not far from my parents house. I gave it ALL it had. I won't say how fast it was but it was over three times the speed limit in a 55. As I top it out I realize that it won't go any faster and I slow down. I get to about seventy and feel like its going too slow. I just rolled into it a little more just to get back to feeling like I was actually moving after being used to 150+mph speeds. About two miles down the road I see blue lights right on my tail. I never saw lights come up behind me or anything. Just the blues click on. I pull over and he asks me if I knew how fast I was going. I said I have no idea sir. He tells me 84. I just nod my head and think "Thank God!" He ends up writing me a ticket for 84 in a 55. Lucky he wasn't sitting any closer to town than what he was.

The second time I got pulled was in my 03 Harley F-150. It was about one am and I was at a light and there was light mist out so it was all slick. I see this group of thugged out kids walking down the road and I was like what the heck, I'll give em a show. When the light turns I floor it and do a massive burnout. As I go through the intersection I look left and see lights down the road but I figured it probably wasn't a cop and held in the throttle as the truck is fishtailing back and forth. Well next thing I know the car runs his red light and puts on his blues behind me. The cop walks up and is just a young guy. Probably 28 or so and is just full of smiles at me. He says "what are you doing?" in a funny voice. I tell him just being stupid, probably shouldn't have. He tells me, no probably shouldn't. He takes my stuff and goes to his car. After a few minutes he comes back and hands me my stuff and with a huge smile says "Have a nice night. And next time watch out for the po po a little better." I told him yes sir and thank you so much and drove perfectly the rest of the way home.
