whats the stupidest thing u ever got pulled over for?

[eaalto]

I've been pulled over twice in the same night, 15 minutes from each other, for having a burnt out tail light.
I've been pulled over for having a burnt out license plate light.
I've been pulled over twice for my trailer hitch obstructing the view of my license plate.
I've been pulled over for having a broken side mirror.
I've been pulled over for having loud exhaust.
I've been pulled over for not having a front license plate.

Only one of those scenarios resulted in a fix-it-ticket, the front license plate.
These all took place in Irvine.
Irvine is one of the safest cities in the United States, so you can imagine that there are a lot more stops of this nature, as the police are not alwaysoverwhelmed.

Oh, I totally forgot the worst one...
I was riding my bicycle to class at U.C. Irvine, and made a right turn without stopping at a 4-way stop, with no cars in view. There was a cop sitting at thecorner on his motorcycle, he stopped me, and wrote me a ticket for running a stop sign on a bicycle.

Oh yea, and my Cameron University parking sticker (which is no bigger than an ID card) hangs from my mirror and the cop claims it's a violation becauseit's unsafely obstructing my view.

because some dude dressed like me had been throwing rocks at the workers at a nearby Texaco station and had hit some dude in the head. That was a funafternoon explaining I was never at Texaco.

My friend got pulled over for having his music too loud.

 

[highrep87]

too many times for no reason... btw I'm going to put my music a little lower now

 

[foshizzle]

For having a shaved head and being out late. Cop shined his light on me as he drove by then made a U and pulled me over based on looks. Flashed the light in myface, said "are you a tweaker?" I nervously (had a little alcohol in my system) replied "no, what is that?" and he eventually let me go.

i was coming back from a concert wit my friend one night, it was probably like midnight or so. all the sudden we got pulled over by a cop sayin we had run astop sign like 15 mins before. he said he was radio'ed our license plate and told to pull us over if he saw us. this is when i start thinking they werejust trying to get their ticket count for the day...cuz we DID stop at the sign and even if we didn't, the cop that supposedly saw us run it should havepulled us over ... i mean seriously... WHO RADIO'S ALL THE PATROLS TO LOOK FOR US?! LIKE WE JUST COMMITTED MURDER OR SOMETHING!!!!

A couple of days ago some crazy thing happened to me. Its a long read.

I got on the traffic circle in front of the car that was already there. Its not like he had to slow down too much or anything, but he did use the horn on me.So I show him the finger, and forget about it. I was with my boy and we later park the car between two others and start to get out. Then the car from thecircle pulls over behind us and blocks our car, so we cant drive back. Two guys get outta the car and one is walking straight to me, he puts his arm under hisjacket, looking like hes going to pull a gun on me. I wait a couple of seconds and when hes real close I put the gas pedal to the floor, going straight thoughsome lawn and bushes and onto the road.

We drive some and then see them coming after us. Its not our neighbourhood, so were not even sure where were going. After some 15 minutes we thought we lostthem, so we pull over turn the car off and think about what were supposed to do now, cuz we really need to get to the parking where we first met them. Then allof sudden two cars pull over and almost block us. Them guys get out fast, one gets almost in front of our car, so I hit the gas, but with the hand brake stillon, I try to scare him, so he moves out of the way. If he doesnt I was really ready to hit him. Then the guy on the left pulls his badge out, so I turn theengine off and wait.

They went through my car, I let them do it cuz I didnt have nothing to hide at that time, still they were very rude to us. It ended with just a warning for me,but it could be much worse if I really did hit the guy with my car. All he had to do was just pull his badge out first at the parking, and not act like hesgotta scare me first

I hate them cops as well.

Then on top of that he gave me no reason as to why he pulled me, didnt even check my license or insurance. He jus told me get home he didntt wanna see me outhere again tonight. im like

uhh ok.

 

[jch3]

I am white, so I can't relate to a lot of stories here.

Stupidest thing for me? Just rolling a stop sign...but I was heading to driving school at the time to take care of a speeding ticket.

 

[thytkerjobs]

Apples28 and I were wearing all black with beanies and that black line under our eye..(this):

We were on a mission.

Anywho, the cop pulled me over to see "if everything was alright."

We did look crazy but sheesh, let us be.

 

[All Ready]

I had a cop tell me someone with my exact car and exact body/facial description assaulted someone and fled

Cop then proceeded to say I PROBABLY ran a stop sign and MIGHT have been speeding

He also told me he knew "my type" and basically threatened to rough me up

Cop was insane

I'm Black and the cop was also Black if that matters

 

[thehavik]

For stealing my own truck.

They had the whole damn alley sewed up.
Im talking at least 10 squad cars.
They daisy-chained all 3 of us together, made us lay face down in the alley, with knees in our backs.
All I was doing was putting in my new radio.
Now i understand how that can look but when they got there, the keys were in the ignition and my wallet (with ID) was in the center console (which they saw cuzthey pulled it out.
There was no need for the excessive force.

Police suck.

I got stories for days.
Chicago seriously has the worst cops ever.

--I got pulled over 2 weeks after getting my BMW z4, because obviously, I did not have plates yet. Just the temporary on the windshield. Cop pulls me over to"check out" cuz a twenty something year old cant be driving a beemer right? Well anyways, after everything checked out(like my license and insurance)cop started acting hella chill, asking me what year my car is , how does it drive, etc etc..then lets me go.

 

[bksownmvp]

Got pulled over 4 times in one week by the same cop patrolling the same area for my tinted windows. I would've went a different way but it was part of mycommute. Anyway, after the fourth time (and the fact that he gave me 4 tickets for all 4 windows, which I don't even think is legal, at least for the backwindows), I went to the tint shop and got my windows lighter in the front because I couldn't take it anymore. I felt like I was being harassed. Now the cophonks his horn at me to say hello while he's pulling over other people for no reason. Figures.

So I come to a complete stop, look both ways, wait a full three seconds, and then proceed.
As I clear the intersection the cop pulls out behind me and lights me up.
I'm like what the hell?

I ask the dude what's the problem...he says that I ran the stop sign.

I give him the

and ask "how exactly would I run the stop sign if I saw your car there as soon as I pulled up?" He proceeded to give me a warning and said "make sure you obey traffic signs"

I'm white by the way, although it was in a Hispanic neighborhood.

same thing happened to me....except im chinese...and i was in a hispanic neighborhood. he still wanted to ticket me...gave me a $50 seatbeltticket

Another time, I was stopped at a light heading home from the gym. I see a cop at the other side of the intersection as the light turns green i take a glance athim and he stares back...dude does an illegal u-turn in the middle of the street, tails me for 10 seconds and pulls me over. cause my tailight was out....imlike ok lemme see...get out the car...and its dim not even out. gives me a warning...i hate cops...
