Got pulled over - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Jersey_TA · 08-10-2008, 03:13 AM

So I try sleeping since it's 1 am and I couldn't fall asleep. I get up, hop on the computer and check the forums and the weather for tomorrow. Since it's supposed to be rain I decided hey, why not take the car out for a spin. So I hop in the vette and roll down rt. 38 on my way to a wawa for coffee to keep me occupied for the ride home. I just pass over 295 and the first light I come to turns yellow. Now I'm traveling at 53 mph and was borderline on either slamming on the brakes, or planting the gas to make the light. I opted to plant it, car comes alive and I go blazing through the intersection at 75+ making it before the red. There's a gas station on the left tucked away at the light(comes into play later). Immediately after the intersection I slow back down and set the cruise at 53. I look in the rear view a half mile later and I see headlights in the distance coming up FAST. As he gets closer I make out those headlights you do not want to see behind you.....it's a cop. He's about 10 feet off my bumper for a whole 3 seconds and bam...the lights got on. I put the turn signal on and pull over to the shoulder. I turn the car off, roll the window down, and put both hands on the steering wheel. The cop walks up (I can hear on his radio, I'll be there in a minute) and it goes a little like this.....

Cop-Hi, I'm officer*****, license, reg, insur please.
Me-here ya go
Cop-Do you have a NJ driver's license?
Me-No
Cop-Why not?
Me-because I'm stationed here for the military
Cop-Oh ok. What branch?
Me-the air force
Cop-Where you coming from?
Me-My house in browns mills.
Cop-Have you been drinking?
Me-I definitely haven't been drinking?
Cop-Where you headed?
Me-No where, just out for a drive.
Cop-(looks at me funny, like WTF are you going for a drive for at 1 am)
Me-I do that sometimes
Cop-Ok, do you have a current ins. card?
Me-wait, that's not the right one?
Cop-No, it expired 4 days ago
Me-(F*** on the inside while looking for it)I don't have the current one.
Cop-Ok, I'll be right back.

(at this point I think I'm screwed and getting tickets for 75+ in a 50, and failure to provide documents)
Another cop car shows up. Cop walks back up a few minutes later.

Cop-Here you go. I'm going to go ahead and give you a verbal warning because I respect the military.
Me-Thank you, I HIGHLY appreciate it.
Cop-You didn't see 3 cop cars sitting back there at the gas station?
Me-I definitely didn't see you all sitting back there.
Cop-Alright, have a good night.
Me-Thank you, sorry about that.

Luckily I was driving the vette. I'm sure I would have been arrested if I was in the T/A.

THANK YOU GOD

plus one..
unfortunately.. regardless of military background...

Fazeshift · 08-12-2008, 12:28 PM

Mt Laurel cops? I got a speeding ticket in the same mile of 38 there... not going quite as fast, and had all current paperwork. Was definitely military that got you out of it. While I respect that as well, that's not exactly a fair way to enforce the law.

Vypurr · 08-12-2008, 12:51 PM

May not be fair, but so many law enforcement officers are ex-military, and tons of them are current National Guard members. It's not what you know...It's who you know!

And I don't have a problem with it. Let some military members go...Maybe not if they are a repeat offerender a few times, but letting them slide is fine by me!

OPZ · 08-12-2008, 04:13 PM

I have no issue with military people getting a freebie now and then...AS LONG AS THEY DON'T ABUSE IT.

Other then that, I sure as hell have 110% respect for people that do what I could not/would not do.

speedmonkey · 08-12-2008, 04:28 PM

Jersey_TA · 08-12-2008, 05:10 PM
