Got pulled over

Thats not all that unusual to get "called in" for speeding. Well not around here in Utah anyway. I have been "called in" numerous times. Sometimes it is a legitimate bike in excess of 100, most of the time its doing about 10-12 over and its a biker "flying down the road". Depending on how fast I'm going when I run across the police usually determines the outcome. If he doesnt catch me speeding he just says slow it down someone called you in, if I am speeding it usually goes "we dont write warnings for people who get called in for over 100", even though he caught me well under that.
glad you got off with a warning
glad you got off with a warning
And we know someone who doesn't even get a warning for hugging the Police Officer...
Glad you guys got off easy
What're ya gonna do, lie to the cop? Telling the truth has gotten me out of more tickets than I can count. Well, not that many but a few.
Last one before that was when I ran a stop sign, saw the cop, and stopped before he even had time to turn on the lights.
I had the engine off, the paperwork in hand and he approached the truck laughing 'cause he couldn't believe I stopped at all! I said, "What am I going to do, lie to you?" he laughed and said, "Have a nice day!" and left me to my devices.
I'm not saying it would work every time but lately, I haven't gotten too many tickets. About a year ago, it didn't work and I got a ticket for going 55 in a 45 zone in the Camaro on an empty street early on a Sunday morning. $77. Dang.
Still, I'm not gonna lie to a cop. Or even try.
BTW, begging works too. I got pulled over in the Camaro a few years ago for going 90 in a 70 zone. I said, "Please don't write me a ticket. My wife will kill me if I get a ticket in this car. She didn't want me to buy it in the first place . . . " Yada, yada, yada. You get the idea. Wrote me a fixit ticket for some dang thing I don't remember. A lunchtime and $10 and I'm on my way.
My wife begged out of a ticket for running a red light right in front of a cop! Ask me to tell you that story some day. It was a classic!
Like I said, stupid pays, respectful saves, mostly.

If you got pulled over by a homosexual cop, could have went the other way. Not that I'm saying anything against homosexuals, hey, if a man can look at another mans hairy azz and say "lets party" more power to ya!....(I think the cop was a lesbian).....But glad your LEO was a heck of alot cooler than mine.!!!

I'm glad it worked out for you. I have often heard that all Arizona troopers are pricks. Maybe we shouldn't believe all the stereotypes
you will get the respect you give from us... however, we do have a job to do and sometimes it means writing tickets. most people would like the cops they b!*^# about if they met them off duty and didn't know they were the popo. alot of us ride... and ride fast, so warnings are frequent for fellow riders.

Sounds like a scare tactic but who knows. Thing is the only chance they'd have is swerving at you if they actually saw you coming. Otherwise they'll never catch up to you unless you slow wayyy down and theres no traffic between you and them. One of the main reasons I've trained myself to check my mirrors every 3 seconds. Especially if i'm going a little quick. Had a few numbskull cagers who wanted to play road tag or try and catch up with me. Who knows what they planned? Get the plate to call in? Ride your tail to intimidate or get alongside you to yell foolishness and take a swerve at you? I don't care and just floor it out of sight when i see them coming or trying to tail me. Any cops seeing this will most likley get the heavier, 4 wheeled, easier to ID and Catch vehicle. I'll be in another zip code enjoying life.
