About a year and a half ago I was headed home from work with my buddy in front of me on this desolite road. Being a new stupid teenage driver I sped up and past him at about 70 (he was doing 55ish)
I saw headlights coming twords me in the distance...wondered to myself if it was a cop..sure enough the cop flipped around behind my friend and turned on his lights. I floored it and my friend followed.
The lights just stayed in one spot and for whatever reason didn't seem to be following us so we headed home. When I got on the computer to talk to another one of my friends that I worked with, the first thing he asked me was if I saw the cop in the ditch on my way home. =0) boy did I ever get lucky there! RUNNING FROM COPS IS STUPID NEVER DO IT
My headlight relay went bad and I still had to drive a friend home and then back to my house.
Got pulled over in a neighboring city, cop said turn on your hazards and go straight home, or park the car, otherwise we'll tow it. Turned on hazards and drove into a neighboring city (my home town).
Not 2 minuttes later i got pulled over again, cop asked why my headlights weren't up and I told him. He took my liceance and ran a check on it, but before he came back another cop heard the call over his radio and drove by. He stopped and yelled out his window "hey hoekstra what the hell you doing", I told him I was just taking my friend home and heading home, he said drive safe and took off. (I ran for city council in my city and my uncle is a Sgnt in the force).
The 1st cop came back and said that he could just take my friend back to his house and let me drive home without a problem if that was ok. I agreed..and that was that
knowing people is nice

I remember this one time when my friend and I drove to an open parking lot in a shopping center and were attempting donuts...then out of no where this cop pulls up with full lights on. He stops us, gets out of his car...and asks us if this is a 4 or 6 cyl...we told him it was only a 4 cyl...he just started talking with us about Fieros and finally told us that he knows were just having harmless fun, but leggally were not allowed to do it. He just let us go and that was that. I love cops like that...another friend of mine got pulled over in his black mustang...the cop just asked him if hes interested in selling the car...my friend said no cause he just bought it, but it was kinda funny.

I've been pulled over so many times, it's not even funny. For the most part thye cops in my town and surrounding area are pretty cool..I know most of them now. One time I got pulled over and the cop asked for my license registration and insurance and just went back to his car. While he was going over things I was just sitting there trying to figure out what it was that I had done and for the life of me couldn't figure out what it was he pulled me over for. So he comes back to my car and gives me my paperwork then tells me to have a nice night. I take the stuff and I'm dying to know why he pulls me over. So before he steps back into his car I jump out of mine and ask him why he pulled me over. He say's that a red sports car was involved in a chase earlier and he was checking to see if it was me. So I'm standing there looking at him, shaking my head with this stunned look in my eyes.So he says "what" cause I got this goofy look going. and I tell him. "Man, do you think that if it was me I would have pulled over?".. As I said I have many stories, but that to me was the most odd.

a buddy and i got pulled over for speeding right outside of mankato mn. we were doing bout 70 in a 55 seen the cop on the other side of the interstate turn his lights on and start to turn around so we just stoped right away before he even got to our side of the road there were 2 cops in the car they blew past us so, we took off again and they were pulled over on the side of the road and after we passed them they pulled us over apparently we stopped so fast that they didnt think it was the same car and they ended up letting my buddy off w/ a warning

i was comming back from my buddies place and and i passed a cop who was waiting to pull out of a tim hortens. he pulled out and followed me for a bit. i was driving the speed limit. he put on his lights and i pulled over. next he came up to my window and asked for my licence and registration. then he asked me where i came from, where i was going, have i been drinking. then he wanted me to say the alphabet. by this time i was pissed cuz i dont drink. so i asnwered all the questions and he started to walk away with my stuff. i asked him why he pulled me over and he said my tint is to dark. b/s. thats my story.

well first of, here in denmark we have to rent temporary licenceplates to put on the car to go to mechanic, inspections and stuff(not allowed to just use to drive with, only for to and from dealer, mechanic test drive...)
this happened thursday: well how to mout on a fastback, one behind the seat in window and one in the front window! the one in the front window keeps falling out(lead foot ), so i just left it on the floor. after getting an allignment me and my GF was on the way to her parrents house. cops come from the front and couldn't se the plate, they made a 180 and followed us. i knew they would pull us over, so i told my GF to put the one on the floor up into the front window. they caught up with us and pulled me over. well one of them gets my drivers licenec and reg on the plates, he get back to the car and i talk to the other cop. he's asking what engine that is, what HP.... well the other gets back and i get my stuff back, luckyli they believed i was on the way back to the storage . one of them askes: "how much for the car?" me (stunned): not for sale! cop 2: "just give a good price, he's got the money" me: no, but i know of one for sale in another city.
well after a little talk they had seen enough of the car and left us alone.
thought that was kinda fun, wonder how much he would've payed for it!
