So, I wake up around 4 in the afternoon because for the life of me, I couldn't go to bed last night. Well, my shift at my job started at four, so I rush to throw on my work clothes and get in my car as I am already 20 minuites late. I'm tired and it's hot outside, so it's not a comfortable situation.

I go the backway to work to avoid what traffic I can, so I gradually work up to 32 MPH in a 25, and sure as fuck, a cop signals me to stop. The thing is, when he signalled and turned on his siren, I was at a busy four-way stop with no room to pull over, and had I pulled over, I would have been halfway out in the road. So, I stop at the 4-way stop and head streight through and make my way to a road that leads to a parking lot on the right, but the fucking lot is blocked off and I'm on a one-way street. The cop gats on his speaker and starts telling me to go streight even though I was. So, I see a another parking lot on my left and turn in to it.

It was a fucking church and they were having something going on in the lot becuase there was a large crowd of kids and parents. So, I pull over right in front of the church and await the cop. I had the worst feeling ever. I was tired, grumpy, hot, late to fucking work, and now I had just gotten pulled over in front of a church with a large crowd of spectators to see.

The cop gets up to my car and asks me what the hell I was doin driving all the way up here, and I tried to tell him, but he then told me to shut up. He was pissed. I pulled out my licence and handed it to him, then reached for my glove box to pull out my registration, an he yelled at me to stop what I was doing and put my hands on my steering wheel. At this point I was fucking scared. He says to me "How do I know you aren't trying to pull a gun out of there, you dragged me all the way up here. Do you have a gun in there?"

I responded no, and then he snapped back "well, I have a gun." By this point, I knew the ****** wasn't going to give me any breaks. So then he asks me to pull out my registration and insurance card and he takes it and walks back to his car for fucking 25 minuites.

He walks back and gives me a 175 dolar ticket and says he got me for speeding and "failing to yield to an emergency vehical." What the flying fuck. So, I go to work in shame and luckily my supervisor was cool enough to shrug of me being late, but I worked an extra hour. Just had to vent this experince.

i would of told him i was trying to make it in time to church!

contest it

I don't put up with shit from cops. Ever. There's a REALLY simple way to handle the situation.

Keep a tape recorder in your car... and tell the cop as SOON as he gets up to your window that you're going to record your conversation. Then... turn the tape recorder on. Don't be a dick about it. Don't smile at them. Don't show any sign of weakness. Just turn the tape recorder on and set it down on your dashboard.

I've done this three times, and all three times the cops have changed their tone almost immediately. The first two times, they were really nice... still gave me a ticket, but didn't do or say a damn thing otherwise. I think they wrote my name down, too, because neither of them showed up in court when I challenged both tickets and had them both expunged.

The last time I busted out the tape recorder, the cop was like, "What the hell is that for?" My response was simple: "I don't like police. I don't trust police. This is to protect both of us." He raised an eyebrow at me, told me to slow down, and walked back to his car without even checking my license. I had two friends in the car with me at the time... and we laughed the entire way back to campus. (This was late one night early in my senior year of college.)

Seriously... Don't take shit from cops. They aren't NEARLY as powerful as they want you to think that they are.

Ninja Edit: And you should ALWAYS argue tickets... If the cop doesn't show or if you catch a cool judge, you get off without a hitch. (I've done it both times that I was pulled over.)

What's the best way to challenge a ticket. I mean, could I just say I was late for work? I know how to challenge the "failed to yeild to an emergency vehical," becuase I was just in an odd area. Is it pretty easy to challenge it so that I wouldn't have to pay anything. I hadf a ticket differed like two years ago, and other than that, I have no record, so what would be the best way to challenge this?

i don't think cops in general are assholes. i would think most of the people that the cops deal with are assholes, so its justififyable that most of the time they don't put up with shit.
in this case however, this cop is an asshole

...known from a videotape the two made when they met in March... in Dresdens home, Dresden amputated Gabriels penis and Dresden and Gabriel ate the penis together...Gabriel had insisted that Dresden bite his penis off; this did not work.. Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.

Ok. I feel your pain. So I'm going to rant. About how much I fucking hate donut scarfing dick sucking pig******s.

But what's worse than your average joe-redneck cop/sheriff? The average joe-redneck state patrolman.

At least in Washington. I swear to god, the only use they have is generating money for the state with traffic violations. They're so fucking used to it. No lecture about speeding.

Just this.

cop. "Hi, do you realize you were going 10 over the speedlimit."
me. "yes, i do, im sorry officer I was late for the ferry"
cop. "drivers license registration?"
me. "here you are"
cop. "i'll be right back"
10 FUCKING MINUTES LATER. HOW LONG DOES IT FUCKIGN TAKE TO WRITE A TICKET
cop."okay please sign here"
me. *signs*
"have a nice day"

I mean granted. I could just drive the speed limit. But if you lived where I lived, you'd understand why people CONSISTENTLY drive 10+ over the speed limit.

Anyway. I feel your pain. I fucking hate pigs. But I have this twisted urge to become a cop someday.

BAH! Sorry to hear about your day man.

EDIT: Totally fight that failure to yeild to an emergency vehicle bullshit. And don't let the judge guilt trip. It is unfortunate you're male. Because I watched a blonde girl my age get out of the EXACT same ticket I had. Bitch.

if you live close to where you got the ticket, go to court and fight it or maybe ask for an extension and then go fight it hehe. if you lve far a way write the judge a letter and ask them to dismiss it or to lower your bail and give you traffic school.
