Very Nice Chris. I don't have to many good stories. Only thing I really get it.

Officer : That car is too loud
Me : To loud compared to what
Officer: Other cars, I can hear you coming
Me : Is that illegal
Officer: Well it's not really suppose to be that loud, do you have Cats
Me : Yeah two of them, you can get under the car and look if you want
Officer: No I believe you, why is so loud.
Me : 2 1/2 inch exhaust and Flowmasters behind 355 ci motor
Officer : Yeah I use to have a car like this, I understand
Me : So I'm not going to get a ticket or anything
Officer : Na, Nice car though, take it easy around town.
Me: Um thanks for wasting my time ( J/k about that one )

This has happened about 3 times. I love cops to a point.

I got a good one. I was driving along and desided to hit boost alittle(maybe I was bored who knows) so just as I hit boost my car shuts off... I'm like WTF nothing was wrong the car was pulling nicely and then bam is't off. so I pull into a lot and pop the hood. I look under the car for anything dripping or anything like that... I can't find a damn thing wrong with it. Until I go to check fro spark. I pull the first wire off the TEC unit and notice my entire passanger side plug was off and dangling by the wires. Duh... the clip was broke. So I plug it back in and off I go. Thats about it. Most of my stories are of stuff braking on my old DSMs.

I managed to talk a chick cop out of giving me an exhaust ticket once. My N1 is surprisingly quiet. Even when I get on it it's very quiet. So she pulls me over and tells me she's pulling me over for "illegal exhaust hardware." I asked her what that meant and she said my exhaust isn't stock and it's too loud. I was dumbfounded cuz it's so quiet. So I asked her if she was serious. She said yes. So I just kinda politely argued my case and said I didn't think it was that loud and there's no way it's nearly as loud as half of the little honda's she probly pulls over on a daily basis. She kinda got this look on her face like I might be right. She asked me to blip the throttle so I did. She had me do it like 3 times. Then kinda stood there, looked at me, and said "I guess you're right, it's not that loud. Take it easy, have a good day." I couldn't believe she actually agreed w/me. Let me go w/no ticket.

I was driving around J.C.Penny at the Oxford Valley Mall once in my old 96 maxima.
I had a tinted cover over my license plate, and tinted windows, and i had
those lights in my windshielf washer nozzles
So I pass a middletown cop right in front of jc penny's and i see him flip a u-turn really fast and turn on his lights
So i quick turn into a parking spot hoping he doesn't notice, but of course he does, and flies up behind me
blocking me in as I'm getting out of the car, he opens his door and stands
behind it as if i'm going to pull a gun on him and says:

Officer: Stop right there and get back into your car!
Me: (thinking he's going to shoot me or something) Alright...
Officerwalks over to my window) Turn those illegal lights back on
Me: I didn't turn them off
Officer: Oh, well you have a license plate cover on ur car, I couldn't even call ur
plate into the station
Me: I can take it off...
Officer: Get out of the car

He walks me like 10 feet behind my car and tells me to read the license
plate of the car next to mine, so I read it, to myself, and he proceeds
to scream at me to read it out loud, so I do, then he says

Officer: Now read yours
Me: (I read it, outloud this time, and without a problem)
Officer: See how much harder yours was to read?
Me: Not really...
Officer: WELL IT IS A LOT HARDER TO READ
Me: I guess so....
Officer: Get back in your car

(25 minutes go by....)

Officer: I'm giving you a ticket for tinted windows

Can anyone tell me what the hell the point of this jerkoff dragging me
outside of my car was? they're on such a powertrip

Mysweetfracture (Mike) and I were coming home from high school one day in his mid 80's hatchback piece of sh%t Nova. As we turned into my section we spotted two trashcans along the curb. We at the time were obsessed with hitting inanimate objects with his car. Having no respect for other peoples property at the time we decided to speed up and hit the trash cans. Well as we hit them and they became lodged under the car, a cop pulls around a blind corner about 30 feet in front of us. He immediately stops his cruiser and which forces us to come to a stop. He walks up to us and asks why we hit the trash cans. We give him the innocent doe eyes and fed him the line "We didn't see them officer". Long story short he made us crawl under the car and yank the trash cans out from the car and place them back in front of the owners house. It had to be funny for the cop watch two dumb@ss kids laughing hysterically suddenly get real serious when he pulls up on us with a trash can dragging under the car. I've got more but I feel to dumb to even mention them.

Just so ya'll know, a cop can't give you a ticket for a moving violation on private property (liek the mall). I am unclear if they can give a non-moving violation ticket.

I got the ass end way out near the JC Penny in my m3 months ago, right in front of a cop. He "pulled me over," which didn't worry me all that much. He repeatedly asked the girl i was with if she was "impressed" with my drifting ability, to which she replied "yes."

No tickets, good times.

I was going down a road I used to travel on for work. Never saw a cop before now. Windows down doing 130+mph on a country road. Came over the top of a hill to see an oncoming OK state trooper. Braked and took the first left turn. Darn Oklahoma dirt roads! 3 minutes or more later cop finally gets to me!

Me: (135mph...I'm going to jail and I think he's got his gun drawn)
Cop: Put your hands where I can see them!
Me: (Oh ****) Hands out the window
Cop: Tell your passenger to put their hands outside the vehicle!
Me: I don't have any passengers!
Cop: Open your car door from the outside and step out of the vehicle!
Me: (So shaky...can't manage to open car door from inside rested hands on door) I can't open the door!
Cop: (walks to car and opens door) Step out of the vehicle sir.
Me: Yes Sir
Cop: Do you know how fast you were going
Me: Yes Sir
Cop: Did you have it topped out?
Me: Nope still had some more left (smiled)
Cop: (Silence is golden)
Me: Can I see the radar?
Cop: No
Me: Why not?
Cop: Well tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to reduce the ticket to 100mph so I don't have to take you to jail. Just pay it and if you show up in court to fight it I'll tell the judge just how fast you were going!
Me: Sounds good. (Could have died, didn't go to jail, only a ticket....WHEW!)

Since its back..

I was building a subbox for my ex-girlfriends IS. The car was half backed into the garage so I could make sure **** fit and whatnot. Anyway she had a license plate cover which got covered in dust from cutting the MDF.

We passed a cop and he followed us for about 5 mintues than finally pulled us over.
Officer "Do you know why I pulled you over?"
me "No idea"
officer 'Do you hvae somekind of tinted license plate cover?"
me "Oh we were just cutting some wood and its probably covered in dust"

He looks at me like "What was I born 2 days ago"
Officer "Get out, come with me"

We walk to the back of the car and wipe like 2 inches of dust of the license plate. He almost **** himself ahah.

Her car was also tinted so we are sitting back in the seat and...
Officer "Put you window up just a little bit for me"

I hit the button and the window starts going up and its a one touch up once touch down so it starts going up and hes trying to put the little machine on and hes going "Thats good thats good" so I hit the down button and it goes all the way down. Took like three times to get it ahaha
