What to do if a cop stops you

I got this in an email at work today. I don't know where it came from but it seams like some decent advice.

What to do if a cop stops you:

1. Stop! Whatever it is you were caught doing gets bumped up to another level when you run. The outcome of this is often really bad – in most cases for the rider.
2. Pull to a safe location. If this requires riding a few blocks to a good pull off spot, raise your left arm to signal to the cop that you are submitting to the stop.
3. As soon as you stop, take your helmet off and remove your ear buds if you are wearing them (they are illegal by the way). It’s important that you can hear the cop’s instructions. Obey them!
4. If you remove your gloves to get your information, be sure to put the gloves down. Especially in the dark they can be mistaken for a weapon.
5. Remain seated on the bike with your hands where the cop can see them, especially if the cop approaches you from the rear. You’re not going to run or be aggressive sitting on the bike so it will help diffuse the situation. Until the cop directs you otherwise.
6. Don’t reach into your jacket for your license without telling the cop what you are doing. Say “my license is in my jacket, can I get it?â€
7. If you are carrying a legal weapon tell the cop as soon as he walks up to you. Tell them you have it and where it is on your body. If you have an illegal weapon, leave it at home.
8. Just answer the cop’s questions directly and don’t talk too much. If he asks you how fast you were going simply say “a little fastâ€, don’t volunteer a number.

Number 8 is just plain wrong. - If you say, "A little fast", you have admitted to speeding. You would be far better off to say something like, "I was travelling at the posted speed limit, officer."

But hey, I'm White and therefore never get hassled by the popo, so what would I know...?:poke:

I assume the point on number 8 is that you were obviously speeding so rather than piss the cop off by denying it just say a little fast, maybe you can catch a break.

Rainbow, I am shocked at you bringing race into another thread that has nothing to do with race! :laugh:

I hate to say it, but the best answer is I don't know, or I'm not sure. Stating your speed will definitely go to guilt unless you weren't speeding but being honest could get you a break. It's a toss up. BE POLITE AND RESPECTFUL, no attitude.

Do you know the definition of expert???

Someone that knows more and more about less and less till they know everything there is to know about absolutely nothing.

lol reminds me of one time I was pulled for not wearing a seat belt here in Hanahan (seems ot happen often). Anyhow the officer comes up to the drivers door after i turned onto a side road of out main street. So there he was looking at me while i was just looking at him. I had my license, insurace, and reg in my hand, So there we were in a dead lock stare, then the officer asks me to roll down the window, but i could not, seems the window on jessicas car was goten stuck the day before lol. I told him that i'm sorry but I dont think that will be happening today. Of course he asks me why so I tell him " my wife seems to be tring to get me in trouble by not allowing her car to let me put on a seat belt and then breaking the window in her car so it will anger the fine officers of HPD even further, in hopes i will get a large ticket", or something like that. Well the officer looks at me shakes his head tells me to put my seat belt on and goes away. About 5 hours later after his shift were sitting on his front proch him drinking a beer me a sprite laughing about it. yeah the officer was is my neighbor who is a good buddy of mine. Most of the PD here are good people with 1 or 2 with an chip on their shoulder.

But according to them if they light you up, you did something worng. Just suck it up and take your medicine.

The “tips†you offered are highly irresponsibly and inaccurate I’m so shocked by your blatant nonsense that I’m going to “correct†them for you.


#1. 1st off ignore the flashing lights and pretend you can’t see the officer until they pull up next to you to wave/signal you over. Give them the “who me†look and act like you are going to comply.

#2. Make sure you continue for at least a few blocks more making random hand signals and pointing at a few things.

#3. Now that you have pulled over make sure to keep the bike running. As soon as the officer exits the vehicle make sure to take off again….the trick is to not go very far, just launch like 50 yards. You only want to go far enough to make them to get back in their car and start to chase you. Once they get back in you need to stop again, and wave them forward. Feel free to repeat this process as many times as you deem necessary.
#4. When the officer approaches you make sure to take you helmet off in an aggressive manner and “pretend†to throw it at them. Don’t really do it because you don’t want to scratch it after it bounces off their face and into the ground.

#5. By this point you should have taken your jacket off and be making erratic body movements and please be sure to let your body language do some aggressive talking. Peal your lower lip down to expose the tattoo that says “eff the policeâ€.

#6. Answer every question with another very random question. I.e. Officer: “Do you Know why I stopped you†Rider: “Do you like the planetariums†or my personal favorite (and the officers too) “Hey pig, do you smell baconâ€.

#7. Make sure you toss out the phrases “My taxes pay your salary, so you work for meâ€â€¦..“Why don’t you get a real jobâ€â€¦ and “I make your yearly salary in a month†AT LEAST one time each; twice will help drive the point home.

#8. Lastly, make sure you take any citations that are issued and ball them up and throw them in the cops face and be sure to tell them where to stick it. It is at that point that the officer will see that you ARE part of the 1%’ers and will have no choice but watch you ride away into the sunset a free man.

If you follow my simple steps to the letter you will walk away Scott Free. Try it out for yourself and see; you will thank me later.











*Legal Disclaimer: Every officer is different and is a small chance these step will cause you to catch a beat down, have your bike impounded, and be hauled off to jail where you will be raped!

Ive been pulled over 3 times and did all of that and it works, no tickets....knock on wood. PS I also mention that Im a Plumber for Disneyland and it seems to get the cop start talking about DL and the questions that follow...... so what ever it takes to not get a ticket. the cops give me my lic. back and say "just slow down"........whew.......:rofl:
 
What would I do if a cop stops me?

It all depends, if he stopped me after doing 180mph, I will pee my pants, start crying and tell him I just could not hold it in any longer. :laugh:
