I had a motorcycle cop start to pass me on I-40 this afternoon, then changed his mind and dropped in behind me. He followed me for almost 6 miles with his high beam in my mirror, then off the exit ramp, then the left fork of the ramp, waited at a light at the bottom, went left and almost another mile before he lit me up. It was 85 today, so I guess he was in the mood for a long and leisurely ride.
I haven't been stopped in over 15 years, and didn't have a clue why he followed me that far or even why he pulled me over.
Turns out it was for a smoke acrylic license plate cover in a chrome frame. It's been on the car since I bought it in 2000.
According to him it was illegal. OVER 11 years on the car!!!
Anyway, it's a correctable equipment violation that will be dropped when someone at the town hall verifies that it's been removed. It was NOT the darkest one they sold, either.
A little petty, I thought.

Alpine would have tazed you for it.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

I write em even for the clear ones. Their only purpose is to obstruct the view of the plate from cameras and officers. You kinda got lucky. Down here we don't have "fixable equipment violations". We just have tickets. Lol.

Fixed for you, Alpine. :::::

Edit:

If you hadn't had your turn signal on and been passed by that old lady walking in her walker, Rolex, he probably wouldn't have noticed you.

LMFAOTG!

 

[beason]

I thought you were going to say he pulled you over to tell you, you were driving with your turn signal on the entire time.

I was pulled over of my own street once. It was around 11 pm on a friday night.. a few years back. I'm still not really sure why I was stopped, but I do remember the officer looking at my license and asked what I was doing in the neighborhood. I sort of raised my eyebrow and said "well if you turn around you can see my house." Then there was an awkward silence, and then I got some tangent from him about being disrespectful or something.. I remember it not making sense at all.. I was just puzzled by the whole thing. I wonder if there was a vehicle matching the description of mine involved in some incident in town somewhere earlier. None the less it was the strangest thing that's ever happened in the hood. onder2:

I used to really frown apon the 5-0 because my strong opinions on marijuana wich still stand strong, but I get 4-6 cops in my 7-11 when I work around 12:30am-2:00am and it makes me feel really safe so I can't complain much. Thats my .02 on the matter, sorry if its OT lol

I'll never know how people can do that. Don't they EVER glance at their gauges and see it? Don't they see the indicator in the corner of their eye? Don't they hear the damn ticking?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Not if they are old blind and deaf..........

Or they think the ticking is of their oxygen tank releasing
Or they think its their pacemaker ticking
or if their super thick ass glasses give them tunnel vision
or if the ticking has them believing that is the seconds of their lives ticking away
or they think the vibrations of the road are making their dentures tap each other
or they can hear it over the sound of their loose old booty's releasing their noxious air into the atmosphere.


Take your pick. If anyone on here would know, it would have to be you.........

 

[Rolex]

LMAO!!
I guess if I wasn't constantly shouting, "Don't taze me, bro. Please don't taze me" he would have let me go.

Other than that, I guess his sugar level must have been down, and following me to the point where we finally stopped brought him within less than a mile of a Duncan Donuts and a quarter mile from a Krispy Kream.

 

[mtaylortank]

I have had them stop me to tell me i was "swirving iritically" before and instantly start searching the car.......... shoot I have passed the alcohol test befor and got made to still go breath a 0.0000000.... some cops I think have nothing better to do then spend their time picking out the little things... Sorry alpine nuttin personal.... I live in augusta maine and they never have any excitement so they have to find a way to make some!!!!!

and that sucks 11 years and because one cop having a bad day or something you gotta take it off..... I dont see how they make it so you can't see the plate.....

 

[Rolex]

It's the lightest smoke brown tint there was. Quite a few people looked at it and thought it was pretty stupid to write a ticket for it, ESPECIALLY since I haven't ever been pulled over for it before. I've had local cops, state police and several New York police behind me through the years and driven through all the states between here in Knoxville and up the coast as far as Connecticut. Never a problem.

 

[mtaylortank]

until you get a cop that needs them points and has nothing better to do.... he probly saw how long its been since youve been stopped and wanted to screw with you what ever way he could!!!!!! I have had that before!!!!!!!!

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Points? There is no quota. We get to write as many tickets as we want I'm more interested in arrests. Ill write tickets, but i like the bigger stuff such as no insurance, DWI, and warrants. And with the way technology is now-a-days, i know whether someone has warrants, a suspended drivers license, insurance on their vehicle, a concealed handgun permit, or have any criminal or traffic history before i even turn on my lights.

 

[Rolex]

So it took him 6 miles to find out he had nothing on me other than a tint cover?
There's a reason why I've driven so many miles and haven't been stopped in over 15 years.

 

[mtaylortank]

U think he was trying to make you nervouse and mess up.... So alpine you guys really dont have a certain amount of tickets or arrest's you guys have to do????? just curiouse dont wanna start nuttin I only have a problem with certain cops not all..... like one cop for instants we just bought a nintendo wii for the kids when they first came out.... someone broke in and took only that wii brand new laptop 5 feet away from it and all kinds of stuff and they take the kids wii..... well there was 2 perfect shoe prints in the flower garden outside of the window and a perfect hand print on the side of the trailer we had lived in at the time..... and because it was a cop that didnt like me he dismissed it and told me there was nuttin he could (i should say would) do for us because it wasn't expensive enough to do anything like peel a print off the trailer and scan it in and compare.. If thats how it works.... I just figured he would do something.......... those thigns arent that cheep!!!!! just one of my sore stories....... thats why i say anything i say about cops at all there is nothing personal alpine cause you have never messed with me for no reason!!!!!!! and I thank you for that l.o.l

 

[alpinehyperlite]

U think he was trying to make you nervouse and mess up....

Probably not, if he was on a bike, he doesn't have an in vehicle MDT to run information and everything has to be run through a dispatcher, which can take quite a bit of time. He might have wanted to know what he was getting into before pulling you over by checking your criminal history.

So alpine you guys really dont have a certain amount of tickets or arrest's you guys have to do?????

Nope

perfect hand print on the side of the trailer we had lived in at the time..... and because it was a cop that didnt like me he dismissed it and told me there was nuttin he could (i should say would) d

I doubt an officer would risk his job because he "didnt like you" Many many officers are not qualified to pull prints. Not enough funding to be able to send all their officers to school for it. And what seems like a big crime to you, no one was hurt, and it was minor property damage, so they wouldnt call out a crime scene tech to take prints. They would never get time off if they had to respond to every burglary call.

well there was 2 perfect shoe prints in the flower garden outside of the window

HAHAHA No such thing as a "shoe database"

do anything like peel a print off the trailer and scan it in and compare.. If thats how it works....

you watch WAY too much TV. in real life, DNA Takes around a year or two to get a comparison back, and prints take months. There is a room about the size of a highschool gym full of filing cabinets of backlogged cases in the crime lab to go through, and unless it is like a serial killer case, all the others get sent to the back of the line.

Something must have been up today. On my 35 minute journey into the big city, I passed about 5 cops. 3 of them were in their stealth cars (subdued markings). I guess the Do-nut shops were closed around here.
