I love this thread… I can say most people in this thread have the right idea… If you are polite and not a Dick, you have a greater chance to not get a ticket… In some cases that does not matter… some cops just don’t care and they like to write tickets… I work with a couple people like this, does not matter how you act .
I really don’t write speeding tickets… I would much rather write a cell phone ticket, stop sign etc…
First thing I ask is, do you know why I stopped you?? Ill use cell phones for an example…
Yes I was on my phone or no, I don’t know why I was stopped…
Ok so I’m 100% sure this person was on the cell phone…no question… But of course this person seems to think I’m just a Dick head with nothing else to do… They want to argue and say they were not talking on the cell phone, when they drove right by me on the phone…
This person gets a ticket… not because I have some special power to write tickets or think I’m better then them… but for the simple fact I saw them on the phone and they are playing me for an idiot…and well maybe I do have nothing better to do!! Just kidding.
Let’s go back to the person that said that they know they were pulled over for being on the cell phone… they do not get a ticket… I like when people take responsibility for their actions…
This is how I work… not everyone is like this… But I really don’t give a Shit about tickets… the only time i really write them is when I’m working ot on a detail… I have to write them then.
If I can give any advise… Be polite, it may or may not work… But for the most part I think it will. Again there are cops that abuse their power and do think they are better but there are also a lot that just don’t give 2 shits. They are just doing there job.
Didn’t realize you were an officer.
Question for you…I usually lower all my windows, etc. when I get stopped just to ease their mind (since mine are pretty dark - only got stopped once for them and got a warning - although he did tell me the car looks great with them lol)…does that actually work? Do you think most officers would react more ‘nicely’ to someone who did that allowing them to see the person/occupants before they were even side by side with them?
I will sometimes turn my car off too as I heard that helps a little bit.
