$10 says you were not speeding in Westchester. Those fucking cops pull you over for no fucking reason all the time.

You're right lol, it was in kendall omw to my gf's house. It's like a 5 minute drive from the kendall best buy.

I've been pulled over 3 times that I can remember and got out of all but one.

First one I was on one of my trips to WI from CA on leave. I get started driving in the morning of day 2 and a cop pulls me over. I don't think i was doing more than 75 in a 65. He asks the basics then notices my gold wings sticker (marine corps airborne). I tell him I'm on leave and I'm trying to make decent time to get home. He says he'll let me go on one condition...that I get out of my car (mind you it's freezing cold and I was hardly dressed for it [edit: to clarify, I was driving from SOCAL and I was somewhere in CO a day before new years eve and was still in shorts and a tshirt]) and sing the marine corps hymn with him (he was a retired marine). Got out of the ticket, but definitely one of the more interesting experiences I've encountered on the road.

2nd one I was on another CA to WI trip, just getting back on the road on day 2, but this time a rookie stopped me for doing 83 in a 65. I was working him to a warning...or so I thought. He gets called up for something else mid-stop, so he comes back to me and tells me I'll get the warning in the mail. He got my address off my liscense, which was my parents. My Dad calls me a week later to say I have a $270 ticket from AZ. Fucking rookies.

Most recent one I was in town driving my normal route back home from the tech, next to a newly built grade school. I was doing almost 40 since it was a huge downhill road along the entire fence-line of the school grounds. I got off with a warning because I told him I normally don't drive that part of town and didn't know the school was finished. I could have gotten a HUGE fine and/or suspension for that one. ~38 in a 25 school zone.

Did you tell him it wasn't you?

Be glad you don't live in Ohio then. I think we're the only state in the nation that still has the death penalty for speeding.

Thankfully only time I've ever been pulled over was for having a 2-day expired tag on my plates while I was on my way to work to get a check to get them renewed. Cop was nice enough to let me go on that, but still dinged me for seat belt. >.<

my tail light in my old bronco2 went out as I as driving, cop immediately pulled me over then combed through my car and wrote me about 5 total BS tickets. I was devastated obviously, being kinda young and shit. Went to the courthouse to get them taken care of, the judge wanted to review mine, took a look at them and threw out every single one as being a nit picking asshole. The cop had written a ton of tickets that day, every single one a bunch of bullshit, not even one for a real speeder, five miles over the limit and shit. The cop is sitting there pale faced and the judge looks at him and say. "You are an officer of the law, if you have a bad day you dont take it out on innocent people, I have mind to suspend you."

I was pleased

Glad judges have no right to suspend officers (in MA they don't at least) because we (officers/judges) do not get along at all lol

I've been pulled over 7 times in 4 different states, and only ever got 1 ticket.

The only ticket I ever got was written by an Ohio state trooper; I was doing 73 in a 55 near Waverly, going back to Bragg from my dad's place after I got home from Iraq. The ticket was pretty low, as I recall, but the roads were nearly empty and it was a clear day.
