cool cops!

[bmwallace_88]

must be nice, there are...zero cool cops around here, with the local police fighting with the state for the local turf since the state steps on the local cops toes, there are always tickets, i got a ticket for "excessive acceleration" but there was no tire spinning and i let off at 45 which is the speed limit. woulda been a careless driving ticket but i fought it, and the magistrate looked at the video and couldnt see anything wrong other than i was slightly heavy on acceleration but with no speeding the ticket was dropped. but on the other hand, i was up in muskegon this past weekend doing 65 in a 50 and the guy let me off with a warning, just depends on the cop and whats going on in their life that day. lol kudos to cool cops.

That's good to know ^^^^^^^   Always thought floorin it from a light was ok but I'm sure they will nail ya for whatever they want. I'm kinda on the fence with the ticket for punishment thing. Having a million

tickets and bad record to get clean keeps me being more legal but I had a cop once catch me speeding and said that if I respected him by NOT going fast then he'd respect me and not give me a citation. It

seriously made me WANT to respect him for treating me like that. It just all depends on the person and situation. And finally- I had a Davison cop manage to catch me and said that NOT writing me a ticket would

NOT change my habits so he went ahead an gave me one  He was however wrong about my habits changing. Like THANKS, just add to the problem why don't ya!

I've had my share of tickets! And I've gotten off QUITE A FEW!!!  i guess it helps that my ol man is a retired cop, always helps to show alot of respect, and see if you can slip a "how ya doin today" and always a thank you even if you do get a ticket! especially if your in an accident.    they'll be more likely to help ya out in court with it

they'll normally get ya for excessive acceleration if you have a loud exhaust system, think your trying to show off and what not. if ya draw attention to yourself they'll find ya!  I had a 94 f250  long tube headers, about 2' of exhaust and a 3" flowmaster dumping right behind the cab.. never had a problem, but you better believe i babied the throttle when i was near any cop at all!

just a few lil things i've learned  most of all SHOW RESPECT, be cool to them they'll be cool to you

14 points and respective tickets to show and respect would have gotten me no where. But point taken.

i'll bring this thread to life again, lol

i had a quiet factory exhaust on the grand am, and it was a peppy little car so i will admit, i did beat on it but for the fun of it.

and today, i was driving west on 94 today, near Indiana, and i was cruising 88 to be exact, and as soon as i hit exit 1 in new buffalo, cop snagged me for speeding, and asked why i was going so fast, and i kinda played it a little bit, and said the car rides so nice blah blah, ran my id, checked my plates and insurance, came back up, handed me my stuff and said slow it down a little, so i reply with a thanks and go about my way. so pretty much, just bringing up more stories hah, that was 18 over.

I've never got a ticket I didn't deserve but didn't get a couple I did.

i agree.. i am a firm supporter of all law enforcement. i have lots of family in that line of work and it was were i was headed and i worked with many very good officers also.. there are good and bad just like normal people but i respect them all
