I love arguing these topics. I had to sit at my office and wait on a late meeting and you guys made it go by fast. Thank you.

So with that thought process, you could be doing something useful with your time rather than making useless statements about people doing there jobs.

lmao! been there! done that! got pulled over while cruising one night back in the day. (there was a local place where hundreds of kids cruised around to the point where the cops started running them off) anyways, cop was following me, and i knew i wasnt speeding. hadnt done anything at all. i actually said out loud "heh, there is nothing at all he can pull me for." blue lights. cop says "you know why i pulled you over?" no.... "you have a burned out license plate bulb. i was like no way i just looked at it earlier. told me to take a look myself. sure enough.... dangit. gave me a ticket too, since i was cruising.

I got hit for one of my two tag lights being out when driving through Richmond va late one night. As soon as he approached the car I informed him I had a firearm in the glove box and just for both our safety he should know before I reach in there (I did not have a conceal carry at this time and couldn't find definite information on how to carry a pistol in that state so I kept it in a holster locked in the glove box based on the strictest state I was familiar with). The officer held onto it while he ran my drivers license and after about 15-20 minutes came back and informed me how I was carrying it was illegal by va law. He said however, because I was honest and obviously not being malicious that he couldn't feel right issuing me a situation or whatever for a court date, take my gun and possibly hit me with (I believe felony "illegally concealed fire arm" when I tried to research and do the right thing. He gave me my gun and license and said don't go killing anyone now and have a safe trip home haha. No tickets, he wasn't an asshole or anything. I got lucky IMO.

To add, I was pulled over 1 month before the law was changing in va and he informed me of this as well. How I was carrying it is meow considered legally proper.

Mine too.

And Harry unlike alot of people I'm sympathetic of any person who's family member walks out the door every morning and selflessly puts them selves in harm's way because they believe in something better. And they actually do their jobs.

I believe alot of people join any force with good intentions at first, but there are those who evolve into "Judge fucking Dredd I am the law" and loose total sight of whats best for their own and the good of the people they serve.

Those are dick bags and you shouldn't defend them either, I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

Me too, Mine was $700 back in '93-94. I was driving down rivers next to Trident Tech.

My Army Recruiter got it dropped. Funny thing is the Army ended up not letting me in because of bad hearing.

Dead serious. T'was my first real ticket back in 2004. A friend and I were leaving work (Old Navy) to get some food. As we were sitting in the holiday traffic next to Wild Wing he decided to turn my stereo on and blast the hell out of us with some bass. It scared the shit out of me and I immediately turned of the amp as a reaction. When this happened it sounded like I damaged a speaker, so I cut it back on and turned it up for maybe 30-45 seconds... all was good.

Next thing I know I have a bald guy in a leather jacket standing next to me in the road!! He told me to pull over and wait for him, so I did. He pulls up in his cruiser and told me I was getting a noise violation for excessive music or something like that. So we get to court and both approach the bench to tell our story. I pled guilty if course, but what really appalled me was this officer claimed he heard me from inside of halloween express! How on earth would he be able to get to his cruiser and get behind me during the last week of October if that were true?

The judge cut the ticket in half, but asked me why I felt the need to have the ability to play music so loudly. I had no real answer for this. That was a good chunk of change for me back then.

Oh and almost everyone in the court room that day was pulled over by this officer on rivers.
