What's the stupidest reason that you've been pulled over/given a ticket for?

>but please tell me that law is fake too
You might be singing, but to other drivers, it could look like you are road rage shouting at them. Demonstrations of road rage are actually technically illegal here. I say technically because the police don't enforce many ridiculously over-sensitive parts of the law that exists because special interest groups managed to get legislators to pass the laws.

But that doesn't mean if several DIFFERENT motorists call 911 to report a road rager, you don't get in trouble for singing in your car. Any road rage threat (like any reported crime) gains a lot of credibility when multiple un-related motorists call 911 within minutes of each other to report the same car (yours) doing a road rage demonstration. Since having multiple reports makes it credible, the police now start to look for your car. When they catch up to you, their minds are already pre-disposed to thinking you are a road rager and they see you shouting into the air like some lunatic. Now you get a ticket for road rage demonstration.

Remember, you can be cited for road rage behaviour without ever actually causing harm to anyone or even forcing them off the road. Demonstrations of road rage that make other motorists fear you is also illegal.

>The town I work in is notorious for bullshit tickets.
Apparently you sympathize with those who get cited for car related crimes such as speeding, turning right at a traffic light marked "no right on red", or breaking a car window to see what's inside (car prowling de-criminalized in some liberal areas as criminalizing it becames a racism matter).

Blowing a stop sign. Only issue is, there was a panel van to my left, so the cop couldn't have even been able to see if I stopped or not. Which I did, the white Chargers with black grilles aren't exactly incognito, I knew the fucker was there. I got out of it by saying I had a cop uncle, so he gave me his number and I had my uncle call him and it got shredded. A year later, the same guy actually helped me out when I ran out of gas on the roadside. He remembered me.

that cop should lose his job

>Remember, you can be cited for road rage behavior without ever actually causing harm to anyone or even forcing them off the road. Demonstrations of road rage that make other motorists fear you is also illegal.

what the fuck

I got pulled over for running though a yellow. Cop asked me if I knew why he stopped me and I told him going through the yellow was the only thing that I could think of, but that it wasn't illegal. His reply:

>I wasn't paying attention, I just wanted to see what you'd say. I guess you can be on your way then.

you from texas?

Not stupid but got a 90 in a 65 ticket this weekend. Was coming down a steep hill and of course the copper was camping out. First speeding ticket in 6 years of driving. Just fuck my shit up.

Their "job" is to catch thieves, murderers, rapists, etc. not harass people like a bunch of road pirates.

Got a speeding ticket for driving, get this, 63 kmh in 60 kmh area. When I asked him about %5 tolerance he told that new devices are too precise or some shit like that. Then he pulled out this recycled toilet paper tier notepad and wrote me a ticket. Fucking faggot. Location is slavistan btw.
And in the same week I get buttfucked by parking service (even tho I did everything to the T and extended my ticket and even got back confirmation sms, somehow I fucked up in their eyes) and then bus ticket (again screwed on the last day of month)

Btw does anyone flash to incoming drivers if you pass police (to warn them)? Friend told I shouldn't be doing this, but he doesn't know shit.

>park in train station lot

>go to Village Hall
>show them the receipt with the ticket
>they throw the ticket out

I put the sticker for this year at eye level (near the bottom of the window) but all the lots I actually want to use are always full.

Got pulled over for 37 in a 35. I was accelerating normally away from a light that just turned green, nothing crazy just grabbing gears at a leisurely pace. The intersection is in a 35 zone but shortly after the intersection it turns into a 45 zone. Butthole cop pulled me over for this bullshit literally as I entered the 45 zone, I was dumbfounded when he basically said I accelerated too fast within the 35 zone. Keep in mind the 45 zone starts about twenty car lengths from the intersection. So yeah, 2 over in a 35 zone, no ticket thankfully he just bitched at me then left.

I think in some areas flashing your high beams is illegal but probably not enforced very much. I've mostly stopped either way because dumb ass modern drivers don't fucking know what it means and take offense to it. Only time I do it is at night because so many dumb fucks don't turn off their high beams for oncoming traffic.

Where I live at least 70%+ drivers get the meaning, and slow down. I do just a quick 2 flicks few times for a 1 km or so.

I live in USA, so many shit drivers here. It's a vicious cycle of bad drivers teaching their kids to drive who end up being even worse drivers, repeat to infinity.

How about instead of funding police departments and towns via ticket collection which only incentivizes the police to give out more tickets for minor offenses we instead give 100% of the money from ticket collections to some third party like a charity with no influence over the police. Police can get their revenue from taxes just like every other government body and no maybe they'll actually spend their time chasing legitimately dangerous drivers rather than extorting someone going 2mph over the speed limit out of $200.

Nah, it just annoys me that I have two tickets for going 51 in a 50.
I don't have a digital speedo, so it's kinda hard to tell the difference between 50 and 51.

Speed cops should be gassed.

That's how mass shooters are created.

The concept of speed limits itself is retardet, a Miat can get a corner significantly faster than a Truck.
Just warn people if there is something dangerous ahead...

Highway patrol noticed I was swerving out of my lane a little and driving slow and when they pulled me over, your mom was still trying to swallow the rest of my semen

I got bopped on the only 100 percent legal inspected registered and insured bike I've ever owned.

As the cop walked up he said "oh, it is inspected" and claimed the yellow sticker looked green.

Bullshit, but no bad came of it. I've had like 10 bikes, I never get em inspected

Fucking bullshit nigger

>cop should be gassed

People like you are the reason our roads are so dangerous

>on a road only built to be safely and ergonomically taken at no more 100km/h
That is the issue: there are almost straight highways with 6 fucking lanes that have insanely low speed limits and continue to be a 4 lane highway with sharper corners and no speed limit.

Didn't get a ticket, but this is the most bullshit thing cops have ever done to me.

>pull onto country road from residential street

>"hurr what the hell do you think you're doing how do you think they feel"

Why do they think being a cop gives them a license to be a cunt even when they're wrong?

I got pulled over the other day.
Turns out I left my coffee on top on my car.

>Btw does anyone flash to incoming drivers if you pass police (to warn them)? Friend told I shouldn't be doing this, but he doesn't know shit.
I've heard faint rumors of people being pulled over for doing this, but nothing substantial. You could always tell the judge that flashing lights is a form of freedom of speech/expression and shall not be infringed.

If you can't withstand a little high-beam flash for half of a second, then you shouldn't be driving anyway.

Even if I don't see a cop, I like the little wakeup.

No? Why the fuck would I do this? If you are up to no good you should get reamed by the courts.Shitty drivers kill people. If I see fucks hooning and shit I actually tell the police exactly where they are.

Doing God's work user

Fucking this

>No joke 6 fucking lanes, but undivided, visibility is always at least 500m
>55
>barely two lane road that has a blind hill, a blind turn, or some combination of the two every 100 meters
>also 55

But yeah, they carefully calculated the speed limit for every single road, have no ulterior motives, and have never once made a mistake, that is always the speed you should drive and doing otherwise is abhorrent, remember, the government always knows better than you.

By the way if you tried to actually do 55 down the second road I mentioned your first time around, you would drop off a hill into the oncoming lane at least twice, the only reason there aren't a shitload of fatalities is because the only hard blind left has a field to the right of the road, which I guess makes the local tow company good money judging by all the the tire marks.

>Btw does anyone flash to incoming drivers if you pass police (to warn them)?
We use a thing called Waze now.

Seriously I can't express how many times I just go for a nice cruise at night and some dickbreath coming flying up to the rear of the car flashing his high beams and pulling to my window and like "WANNA RACE BRO 30MPG PULL BRO LETS DO IT" LETS GO". Fuck them....my insurance is through the roof because assholes can afford fast cars and end up parking them around a tree

I have a road nearby that has a speed limit of 60 km/h.
The best I got was 50 while out cornering a fucking porsche and using both lanes.

>have dealership loaner car

>"yeah, I'm returning it right now"
>"ok. I'll just check that it's not stolen and you can be on your way"
>"okay"

Of course it wasn't stolen.

I feel bad for cops around here. There's so little crime, and new guys are probably so bored.

At no point did the person say that it was OK to flash high beams to help them if they were up to no good.

I've used waze a little mostly as a passenger and reporting cops, construction, road hazards, etc...

Usually the cop reports around where I live were wrong by the time we moved through the area.

This is a complete lie. There would never be a road built like this outside of the Isle of Man that wouldn't have an advisory cornering speed for a corner like that for liability reasons. If you wiped out exceeding that speed you would be totally in the wrong.

>I've used waze a little mostly as a passenger and reporting cops, construction, road hazards, etc...
>Usually the cop reports around where I live were wrong by the time we moved through the area.
I live in a big metro and they're pretty damn good here, but I don't speed in my shitty 2017 civic anyways...

I can take a picture in about 5 hours, that hairpin corner is impossible at 60 km/h, even for a sub 1000 kg Porsche on decent tires.

>I have never been to the midwest

I have plenty near me just like it, they don't bother to put any kind of signage on roads that aren't really used by non locals. Theres a paved road near me that I drive all the time that I don't even know the speed limit for because there's no sign for it.

I would argue that slow and inattentive women cause more accidents than people who drive fast.

Got pulled over for getting out of a cop's way.

This is so fucking annoying. One faggot in an other-worldly riced first gen Neon harassed me for 5 straight minutes around town until I decided to take off in my bone stock car and embarrassed the fuck out of him. He finally left me alone after that

If there is no sign then that's the fault of your city for not providing appropriate signage for drivers. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen

I drive in the Midwest all the time. I've never seen something like that

Well if you haven't seen it I guess it doesn't exist then.

brb gonna go tell my friends that vaginas are a myth.

the guy they ticketed was some nigger though so no one gives a fuck

>If there is no sign then that's the fault of your city for not providing appropriate signage for drivers.
You can see that this corner is verry tight, most drivers are too scared to take it at 30...

how's that boot sole taste, faggot?

Wait for it...

following too close at a highway exit congestion.

on restricted licence
three passengers
half way though intersection light changes from orange to red
Police see this and pull me over
he gives a choice fine for driving though red light (unprovable)
or charge with having passengers overwhelming evidence
or get charged with both
I just took the red light charge and split cost with passengers

>paying taxes for this sort of legal system
I know this doesn't actually happen to anyone but I also hope Americans realize how stupid this makes them look.

speeding.

Too many passengers. 3 of 8 seats were full. Was a minor, which made it a ticketable offense because they weren’t family members.

>car prowling de-criminalized in some liberal areas
San Francisco?

just assume your speedo is upto + or - 10% accurate
lo in hi
45 50 55
67 75 82
can be checked using gps
also some digital bicycle speedos go up to 120 mph most stop at 60 mph
they see use on motor cycles and pre 1920s vintage cars
all it needs is a magnet and info on the tires circumference in mm

Got a $500 ticket for "not driving with proper license class".

When I got my full motorcycle license I asked if it was good for cars too and the guy said "yeah it's good for both, have fun!".

Turns out I drove cars for over 100000 miles before this one cop noticed I "had no license". I had gotten in accidents (not at fault), speeding tickets etc all without having the license to drive a car.

This is a complete fucking meme. The only reason your speedometer should be out at all is if you're using drastically differently sized tires and haven't adjusted it. All 15 cars of various years and condition I've driven have been exact with the radar display sign at the end of my street. If you're doing 1mph over for any reason it's your own fault

Fellow burger and I concur, when I was 16 flash to pass almost always worked. Now I have to try that,, get close and then back away so it doesn't seem aggressive or dangerous, and then if they still don't move I have to pass on the right

Improper passing

>behind two people, speed limit is 40

Officer didn't ticket me but told me I was "improperly passing". I thought it meant you can't pass more than one person at a time, but later learned that's not true at all cuz you can

Back to /pol/ you racist shitstick.

Got a ticket because my bumper was over the white line at a stop sign and another since i didn't have my license at the time. Still remember the officer's name was Michael Brown. Guess he needed to get that quota

>Exited "too fast" from a roundabout at 4 in the morning with not a single soul around.

But to be honest they just tried to find something wrong with my car and failed. Guess what faggots the car was a month old so completely spotless.

They did waste an hour of my life tho...

Heh, that reminds me that the most watched case in my country right now is two police fags going all "we will fucking shoot you! you fucker!" after a random citizen high beamed them for doing an obvious fuckup in mid-day traffic while they were undercover.

He left because that faggot knew that the case wouldn't stand at court. You did good user but I hope you have a cam in your car now and also record everything on your phone.
Remember you never know when will be the next time a corrupted cop stops you.

>You complained about X, so you must support Y

Yeah, fuck off.

We don't like you folks around here.

If you're actually getting a ticket for 1 MPH over, the cop must truly have the impression that you are a douche. This can be for many reasons and only you and the cop will ever know for sure.

If you get pulled over, you only job is to make sure that the cop is at ease, doesn't feel threatened, and has a pleasant experience. Be respectful and honest, and be dressed like a normal person. If it is dark outside, turn on your interior light so he can see what is in your car as he walks up. You'll hardly ever get a ticket that way. Politeness goes a very, very long way.

He was fishing for drugs and wanted to take a look at you. I've been pulled over for being in the left lane too long on a 4-lane road, for the same reason.
