I got a 30 over a couple yrs. back and the cop (chp motorcycle) was cold and let me go. No id, no insurance on me. Only cost a grand at the courthouse. Gladly paid.I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airman1270 0 #31 February 25, 2010 Quote***If you are legally detained (you're the driver in a traffic stop for instance), then that officer has the legal right to identify you. Name, birthday and address... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ This has always been understood. However, there have been some frightening examples of cops who think they have the right to check ID's of all passengers, or stop a guy & ask questions & demand ID because he's out walking along the side of the road late at night. During my radio days I regularly read police reports and began noticing this stuff. I have concluded that the reason a rural police department needs a K-9 unit is to deal with window tint violations and out of state drivers who fail to signal a lane change. Or could it be that they know these random searches are illegal and are trying to cover them up? They'd be much more honest by writing "...I saw the guy and just wanted to check him out and see if I could find anything..." rather than go through the motions of claiming the whole thing began with a traffic violation. What the hell type of training are these guys receiving that allows them to believe they have the right to treat people this way? More to the point, why would they want to? ...I was pulled over for taking my seatbelt off while pulling into a gas station... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Talk about petty! One more reason seat belt laws are plain wrong. Why would a cop even want to stop a guy for this? When these laws started popping up in the 1980's we were assurred that cops would not use this law as a reason to stop people, etc. Suddenly I had lights in my mirror one perplexed morning in 1985. Turns out I was wearing my lap belt, but not the visible shoulder harness because it didn't work properly. Our once-free nation is becoming a totalitarian police state. This is what happens when liberals win elections. Details coming soon on a Speaker's Corner thread near you. Cheers, Jon S.

I have been treated poorly by cops in situations where I hadn't done anything wrong, and I was offended. Still, these were minor incidents that did not result in my arrest. While I do not live a lifestyle that could result in serious legal problems, I have been stopped a few times while driving during the past 34 years. Minor violations. I could have received tickets but mostly didn't. I was honest & polite, it might have been a factor. And I reciprocated their courtesy by taking seriously the warning and not blowing them off. The test came in 1997 when I was stopped by a radar bike cop while doing 45mph in a 40 zone. I was perplexed until he said he caught me doing 63. Stunned, I said he was mistaken , as I didn't drive like that as a teenager and I don't drive like that now. Once he began filling out the ticket I stopped explaining why he was wrong and focused on procedural matters. What could I expect, what did he think my chances would be, etc. He said it might depend on what the judge thinks of me calling hm a liar. I said "No. If you say your radar showed 63 I take you at your word. But I didn't make it do that." (Later I realized what probably happened: About a mile back I turned right onto this road as a large Blazer-type vehicle was waiting to turn left onto the same road. As I rounded the bend into the cop radar the Blazer-dude caught up and tripped the radar thingy. Did I mention I was driving a Camaro? The radar most likely picked up the Blazer profile. Meanwhile the cop saw "63," looked up, and the first car he saw was a Camaro...) The nice proseutor lady offered a real nice deal: $50 and no license demerits. I said I appreciated the offer, but that I was not guilty and would like to speak with the judge. They gave me another invitation, rather than address the matter that day. Next time I was waiting and thought I saw the cop in the hallway off to the side, looking into the room and (seeming) to notice me. He appeared to have the same build, etc., but without the bike helmet I couldn't be sure it was him. I was prepared to show the judge my 8x10 color glossies of the crime scene, with the circles & arrows and paragraphs on the back of each one explaining why I didn't deserve to be convicted of this accusation. Then, they called me: "Airman 1270" (or whatever court pseudonym they use...) I approached the nice lady judge with my large envelope of evidence, only to be stopped by something like "The witness against you is not here and you're free to go..." I almost said "Wait - he's here, I saw him a minute ago..." but instead I just said thanks and left. Of course, if I had had several speeding convictions in the previous dozen years they might not have been so nice about it. I suspect this was their way of dealing with a situation where an innocent guy had been falsely accused, without the burden of placing an aquittal on the prosecutor's record.

Will i get a surprise one "AHA! Thought you got away with it eh sonny Jim!" As long as you did that little heel-toe dance along the white line and recite the alphabet backwards you got nuttin to worry about. I followed his pen, i counted my fingers 3 times, i did the alphabet "without singing it" and when i got to the heel to toe thing....well it wasnt pretty. Starting was the hardest, i was fine once i got into my stride I gave him my FAI license from Europe and i think it went over his head of "fuck this, hes nearly home anyway." Park the car and walk. Lucky stars oh yea Last dui I got (20 yrs. ago) the cop said count to 10. I made it to 1. Cuffed and stuffed. Then he was really pissed when I handed him his handcuffs at the police station when he let me out of the car. And don't the judge to "FUCK OFF" on video. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
