met a cool cop

[devon.818]

so I traded my e34 today for a 5.0 e30, pretty stoked. I threw a old tag from another bimmer I had a while back on the e30 and took it for a drive, yeah kind of illegal.

was turning back onto my street and WOOP WOOP, pulled over....
so I think i'm fucked, im riding illegal as all hell

cop says he pulled me over for the car being loud and no front tag, I tell him I just bought it, I know its loud im gonna fix it and i'll get the tag tomorrow when I register it.
he gets wide eyed excited and starts licking his chops at all the tickets he's about to write.

I get out and start talking to him, showing him the car and he's warming up to me, but then says
"you know I could meet my quota for the month RIGHT NOW!?"
my heart sank.

but wait I have one card to play.
"officer, im a volunteer firefighter right up the street, heres my LSAP # *******"
he says he's friends with the captain and goes back to his car and starts playing on his computer.

he comes back and hands me a list of warnings for
failure to display vehicle registraing-250
operating unregistered motor vehicle-370
unauthorized display and use of vehicle tags-290

yeah those were my warnings.
I get pretty gitty when I get my actuall ticket
-no front license plate: 50 bucks!!!!

50 bucks??? omg was I lucky!!!!

I thanked him, and he let me go, I did see him shaking his head in the rear view.
so slap on the wrist and lesson learned!


see, cops aren't all bad

Oh well, that would be around $1800 here in Norway.. Lucky!

[SuperMegaDeathRay]

hell that's a cool guy...

[Oxer]

that would have been an impound and over 1k in fines here lol.

[SuperMegaDeathRay]

they would impound the car here...plus going getting accused for fiscal evasion (cause automobile taxes are not paid), fraud, misusage of license plate, having no insurance, etc...and lose your driving license and go to jail for it...plus fines you have to pay...in worst case you never get back your car and dl...

And you're in prison lol.

what a cool guy. I did the same in vegas and initially altogether it was $1400 for riding dirty. I showed proof for registration and insurance a week later and the ticket went down to $450 for switching tags.

Happy for you mate!

[coconutt]

That's good shit.

[Ieatpeople]

im am shocked to hear this!!!

YOU, do something stupid in PUBLIC!!!!

say it isnt so.



i will say good job on getting the warnings.

whose car did you buy, Ean's?

[MommysLittleMonster]

Nice guy. I had a cop do the same thing for me once- I had no front plate, no exhaust, and was cruising along at 40+mph in a 30mph zone.

[Celli]

Loud exhaust doesn't seem to cause any problems in my town. Ita riddled with cops. I went a couple days without even having an exhaust on and you'd think the lack of tailpipe would get me pulled over.

I got a few decent cool cop stories.

Got pulled over in the e36 for sliding out of a shopping mall. Cop pulled me over, told me I shouldn't do that, and then asked for my advice about a couple BMWs he was looking to buy, if they're reliable cars, etc.

Sideways again across a bridge late to highschool. "Ollie, I know you're late but you can't be doing that through town. Now hurry up and get to school." Let me go.

My friends and I were doing some hoodrat stuff around 2am when we got pulled over. I was 17 at the time, not supposed to be driving after 9pm, etc. It ended up being my friends cousin and partner who saw us driving around and just wanted to fuck with us out of boredom. Worst and best moment of my life.

My principal in highschool called the cops on me because I was drifting the parking lot (covered in snow, no cars at all because it was real early and was meeting my friends to get breakfast). So when I get back I get called to the office and there's a cop waiting for me. My principal fucking yells at me for about 5 minutes telling me how I am fucked etc. Cop escorts me outside and goes "yeah we're just going to walk out to the parking lot for a few minutes and pretend like I'm doing something and then you can go back to school. Fuck that guy."

Went through 2 red lights. The cop comes up and says "well if you're gonna go through one you might as well go through the second." lol No front plate ticket.

I also got pulled over a handful of times on my college campus, I used to be working on my car ALL the time (against policy). Anyway I never once got a ticket because they would always say they're not going to give a kid a hard time that puts work into his car. Always appreciated that.

Another time I wore through a bolt on my skid plate so it was dragging/sparking down the thruway. Tried to make it to a rest stop but ended up passing a cop instead. Pulled over and the cop let me use his mag light to remove the skid plate. He was in awe at my ride height and fitment (q45 this time).

Another night I was on some back roads having some fun with the car behind me hitting 90mph+. Then all of a sudden I see lights flashing behind me. Cop walks up and asks me if I know why he pulled me over. I told "him no idea sir." He says "you went over the middle line a little bit back there when you made that left hand turn", gave me a little smirk, then wrote me a ticket for an "improper left hand turn."


I have soooooo many other stories lol. Maybe more later.

[Celli]

^ damn boy you've had some hell of a time with cops. Sometimes I feel like the cops in my area are just lazy motherf***ers. Unless you really give them a reason to pull you over, it just doesn't seem to happen. I drive at night on a daily basis home from work, and I went a whole month without license plate lights before I got a warning. Speaking of.... I need to go to autozone and get those haha

yeah, **** teachers above cops...

And you're in prison lol.

yeah...that's far from optimal...but i don't know if i'd rather go to jail or lose my dl or my car...
