stupidest thing that got you pulled over

I've owned a WRX and EVO8, they both ran with fog lights all the time without ever seeing a ticket.

On the other hand, one time I got pulled over because an under cover officer thought I was racing him. I was in the WRX and he was in a ford ranger. Light was about to turn green so I drove like I always do (haul *ss til the speed limit). The ranger's lane ends about 50ft from the stop light but he wasn't at a stop at the light with me. The douch slowed down enough so as the light turned green, he would just flie by it and around me. Here I am doing my normal driving style and I realize theres a ford crap piece of ranger trying to pull on me but I'm just too dam fast for him. Next thing I know, lights flashing behind me. Cop pulls me over, tells me "that's what I get for racing a cop". I tell the stupid cop "No I wasn't racing you, this is normal driving for me. If I was racing you, there's no way you would even catch me with that ranger". Stupid cop was pissed but he knew he broke the law trying to race me and we hit about 40mph (which is the speed limit) and I slowed down before he pulled me over. I walked away a "next time don't race a cop" and I replied "I don't race cops, if I do, I'd make it worth your time". That cop hated me.

Sunglasses were to wide. I had a pair of Locs when I was younger. Looked like these without the SD logo

Remember the Chevy Chevette?



My sister had a 1976 model. My parents and I were driving her back to Radiology school in Harrisburg on I-81. We were all in the car because the students were not allowed to keep vehicles while in school there, so we would be driving it back home. My Dad & I were in the back seat goofing around, and the State Policeman must have thought it was just a bunch of kids in the car with all the stuff crammed in the hatchback.

When he walked up to the driver's window and looked in, he actually lowered his sunglasses to get a better look and seemed surprised to see a family instead of a bunch of kids. So he made up some crap about the 3/4" high school sticker on the bottom of the back window (which was about 4' high!!!) being too big and blocking rearward view. Nevermind the clothes and bags that blocked the back window.....

He just gave my sister a warning and told her to take the sticker off when she got to school. He could have just fessed up and admitted he made a mistake, but then, we would have thought him to be a decent human being....and we can't have that, now, can we? :lol:

Went to undergrad at Tufts in Boston and 3 friends and I went to New Hampshire to shop (they had to buy something expensive and didn't want to be taxed). I have Jersey plates on my truck. So we are going to leave the mall and we need to make a left. There is a HUGE line (50 cars easy) in both the left and right-turn only lanes. So, the light is broken, it didn't turn green once during the 20 minutes I was waiting. What ended up happening is that most people in the left lane just started making left on red. So half the people or so in front of me make their freaking lefts on red, The other half, just made U-turns right on the road. I get up to the front and I really thought it was a BAD idea to try this across this road so I decide that I'm just going to turn right on red from the left lane, and I turned into the outside lane and I made eye contact and pointed where I was going to the guy in the right lane. As soon as I make the turn a cop lights me up and I pull over back into the mall entrance. Lights all on, spotlight on (not that it did much good, the Tahoe Sport's windows are heavily tinted from factory). Comes up to my car asks me for license and registration which I hand over.
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Because I made a right on red because that traffic light is broken?"
"You only think it's broken"
"No, it is broken. You see that long line of cars waiting to turn and the people making lefts on red? That light hasn't turned green in the 20 minutes I've been waiting for it and it still isn't green. I thought it would be safer to turn right then to cross 3 lanes of traffic coming at me."
Then he turns to my friends and says, "I don't suppose you have ID on you do you?"
Goes to his car for 5 minutes and I'm fuming and scared (damn college aged kids don't know nothing hah), comes back.
"Why are you here?"
"We were shopping"
"You came from New Jersey to shop?"
"No, we go to Tufts."
Then he was half friendly asking us about local shops there (I wonder if it was him testing to see if we were really from there).
Then he just hands back all the IDs, turns around, and without saying a ward gets back in his car and turns his lights off.

I'm freaking out because at this point I think we are OK but I don't want to drive away because for all I know the psycho might pull me over again. I sit there for 5 minutes and then had enough and drove away.
