does anyone else have any run-ins with the law? i have had more than a few

not sure why. one of my favorites is:

i was walking down mira mesa blvd here in san diego, i was going to get some dr pepper as i was attending a concert at the epicentre and the drinks there were to damn expensive. i think i was 17 (this was about 2001) 1" mohawk, army jacket with a huge homemade anarchy patch on the back (i laugh at all who buy anything with the anarchy symbol on it), there was a fight between some asian wannabe gangsters in the parking lot by where i was walking. this cop car rolls up, sees them, dude gets out. throws me against his car quickly pats me down, handcuffs me, throws me in the back of his car (busting my head against his door in the process, then starts calling for back up as he supercops over to the group of 20 or so 16-22 year old hood rats. they disperse and he tries to chase them but doesn't catch anyone. about 5 minutes later he comes back lets me out of the back, takes the cuffs off and say in a stern voice "i don't want to see you around here causing trouble." he hops in his car and takes off as i yell something like "what the %$@ is your badge number" or some such nonsense. i got my dr pepper walked back to the show and had an awesome story as to why the side of my dome was messed up. the end.

I was 14 years old and my sister worked the parking of our music concert hall at the time. I put on her reflector vest in my neighborhood and flagged cars in front of my house doing "seatbelt checks". I flagged a cop that lived in the neighborhood. He was a little pissed and just told me to get back in my house and not to do it again.

I had a terrible day, but found out that I had gotten a new job (in the same company, but moving from a satellite site, to the corporate office) I was driving down the road, seat-belt on, (very rare I admit, I'm just not good at wearing it) and it was a nice day, windows down, and a county sherriff (two of them, one car) is driving the other way on the street.... I am JUST leaving the stop light, as they are (a few cars back from the light, I was first) and I give them the old "one finger salute" and sure enough they turn on their lights, wait for enough room in front of them to do a U-Turn, and they pull me over as I'm getting on the Highway (I lived a few exits away). I KNOW they can't give me a ticket for anything (maybe for no-front plate if they wanted to be dicks I guess) so I start taking out my bad day on them RIGHT AWAY..... The girl Sherrif is on my passenger side, the guy (who must beat off to road-house) is the one taking care of the "business side" so the exchange, which I can't recall all of... was quite heated.... he asked me what my "gesture" was... and I told him I saw someone in a red-car who I thought I recognized, and I SURELY wouldn't do something as unlawful as directing it at them...... of course I'm being extremely sarcastic, and pointed..... and he RIPS my license out of my hand, walks back to his cruiser when I said "excuse me, mind if I ask you a question...... (he didn't answer) why exactly did you pull me over, I think I was going 5 mph "

So, when he's back at the car, the female sheriff (pretty attractive, but not "fantasy cop" type or anything.... is still at my passenger side, and I say "So, you must be the "good cop" " she actually cracked a smile, so I figured she thought the guy she was stuck in the car with all-day was an A-Hole also.

So he comes back, he tells me something about disorderly conduct etc.. and I ask him "what do you plan on putting on the ticket, because it's going to take a judge about 30 seconds to decide he's not going to touch a freedom of speech case" and this guy is PISSED... he actually THREW my license across my lap, onto my passenger seat.....

So he walks away, then I see her look back, next thing I know, she's looking back (towards him I guess) and she says... "well, you're free to go"

So they follow me to the next exit, and they got off, and I slowed down, and waved enthusiastically at them while they were on the exit ramp, while I kept honking my horn.......

I've got a friend who is a cop, and he tells me he gets the finger all the time because he's forced to be in a town where they pull over EVERYONE for going 30 in the 25 etc.... and this was that type of area.... so I was taking out my bad-day, and the fact that I was in a very "non-friendly-cop" area..... (where I had been pulled over for no front plate a year earlier actually) so I was pretty happy with myself...

I still throw it out there to State-Troopers on the highway when they're in OBVIOUS speed traps.... I just think cops should do more "protecting and serving" and less ticket-stroking.

broganreynik · 06-10-2008, 04:43 PM

I was driving home from baseball practice and was just leaving city limits, but the speed limit was still 35. I usually gun it a little before hand, so I was speeding. I didn't see the cop in front of me because I was putting a cd in my cd player and as I look up and see him I look at my speedometer and I'm going a little over 70! So I slow down and he pulls me over (at this time I only had a school permit). He does all the routine stuff, and when he comes back he says, "You were going 72 in a 35, but you have some good music playing there. I think I'll give you a warning." I was the most relieved guy in the world, because if I had gotten a ticket I wouldn't have been able to get my license until I was 18. Oh yeah, in case you were wondering what the cd was...AC/DC-Back In Black.

My friend I got busted for stealing about 700 balls from McDonalds when I was 18. We used big plastic trash bags and completely filled up the trunk of my car. It was pretty late at night, well after they were closed. Basically the owner or manager was hiding in the bushes and got my license plate. Police rang the door bell when I was sleeping, parents came to my room "The Police are here" The copy actually thought it was funny but he had to do his job. Parents were not amused at the time.

Roland1919 · 06-10-2008, 06:38 PM

Funny story. I pulled someone over for blowing a stop sign. Not a roll, I don't mess with nonsense. A Complete (No Skid/No Slow) through a stop signat about 35 mph. They were running a bit late for a "flute" recital. I told him if he got out of the car and played a good tune he was free to go. So he did just that, played a tune and it was good so I let him go. When I got back to the station I was questioned about why I had a guy playing the flute on the side of the road. If you could have seen my Sgt's face....priceless.

Nice

I was with a friend when we got pulled over..... we were both 14

In court, the judge asked my friend why he was driving..... he said "I had a Big-Mac Attack" that pretty much dates the story right there.... as I'm 29 now!!!!

I just remembered that (only reason I was in court, was because I didn't exactly "stay in the car" when we got pulled over..... I got out and took off..)

The officer said I ran, but I didn't.... I just walked away!!!

On the last day of school a few weeks ago and friend and I decided to throw water balloons at the Junior High students. We each got slapped with a $250 littering ticket, and a $50 truancy ticket.

none of my run-ins with the police were humorous, unfortunately.

David Mamet · 06-10-2008, 11:30 PM

Well..... Me and my best friend were trying to get ahead at work and spent a weekend in the office just the two of us. During this overtime we accidentally uncovered some questionable files that pointed to illegal accounting that led all the way to our boss. We didn't know if we should go to the police immediately and just weren't sure how to handle it altogether. After a long debate between my buddy and I, we decided to take a weekend trip to our boss's vacation home on the beach to decide. When we got there we were shocked to see our boss dead on the couch. Now, to make a long story short, we had to pretend he was still alive to keep others from suspecting us, and in the process avoid mobsters, police, and nosy friends of his. In the end it all worked out and my buddy the cops and I had a good chuckle over the whole ordeal.

I was in Georgia headed to Florida and was screaming down the highway at 85 when I passed a trooper. He whips out behind me, as I knew he was going to and in no time, filled my rear view mirror with blue and red. I pull over and, trying to think on my feet, burst out of the car, run to the back, lay down on the ground and start looking at the undercarriage. Confused, the officer squats down next to me and asks what's going on. I tell him I heard a loud noise coming from under the car and ask if he can see anything. He breaks out his flashlight and starts looking. Naturally, we don't see anything so I get up, thank him for his help, get back in the car, and drive off. He told me, "Good luck with the car" too.

I was driving on base one time in Florida. I had the windows down and my music was moderately loud. I roll up to a stop sign, spy a base police car, come to a complete stop, and go on through. The guy whips out behind me and pulls me over. Long story short, he ends up giving me a ticket because I looked like I was in a hurry. I never broke any laws, I guess I had that look of intent to speed so he nipped it in the bud. There was no fine for tickets on base but after 3, you were restricted from parking on base for a while. I had 17 in my glove box when he issued that

LOL! I've done that too - except in my case I turned into the HOV lane in front of a cop, and saw him just in time, pulled off to the shoulder, got out, popped my hood, and began looking at it - when he approached we tried to find out what was wrong and when it all seemed ok, he went on his way.

Quick thinking saved us from tickets!

back in high school, was doing some underage drinking with a few friends

we were at an old abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. we had a big bottle of vodka and were about to start drinking when i looked at the driveway (which was long and had a few turns). all of a sudden some cop lights start flashing and we take off running to our car. we couldnt go anywhere and eventually the cops got us out of the car. they searched the area, including the house. my friend had put the bottle of vodka in a backpack and through it into some tall grass. when the cop got close to the area my friend said we didnt go over there because the grass was too high. they asked us what we were doing there and we told them we were ghost hunters. the sheriff replied with "thats the cleanest fun ive seen in a while" they let us go with a warning. we returned a few hours later to retrieve the vodka, and had a great night and an awesome story to go with it

when i was 17 we were driving around the campus at BGSU during the winter, we found an area that looked perfect for doing donuts so i pulled my honda in there and proceeded to do reverse donuts. I musta been a total doof because I found out the hard way it was the campus police hq parking lot. the cop didnt even have to get in a cruiser they just walked out with a flashlight and yelled Pull it over! i was all set to get a ticket for reckless operation when the one cop knew my dad, they ended up letting me go with a warning.

Marquoz · 06-11-2008, 05:38 AM

My most enjoyable run ins with the police were when I was around 14-16. I would come home from RHPS totally trashed (they had a daquiri shop that didn't card in the parking lot). I would be walking (no license or car yet) and when I got pulled over for truancy and public intoxication they would get out all mad and demand my ID. I would show them my ID, and sit there and spin a story of "Oh, I can't drive home in this condition which is why I'm walking" and show my ticket stub for RHPS. Most of the time the cops would give me a ride near my house and drop me off down the block, or they would run me to the parish line, but never arrest me.

Beta Man · 06-11-2008, 12:52 PM

remembered another decent one from the college days..... kinda long, but I'll try to keep it to the important details.....

1st.... I was in college... drinking/drugs, the whole works, so one day I decide to "make" some candles.... I get the beaded up little balls of wax, and use old Salsa Jars, etc... to melt it in a pot of water on the stove, and cut a piece of wick to fit..... I made multiple colors etc.... I got the idea because I wanted to try to make a HUGE candle... larger than I could buy at stores... but anyway....

So I have these jars.... with candles in them, but I want the candles ONLY, no jar... because I have candle-holder things.... so I take a small hammer, and break the glass..... but it pretty much broke into "slivers" of glass... So I peel off the big pieces, and put on gloves (basic winter gloves if I recall) and I wipe off, and pick off as much glass as I can, and even run it under water, etc...

Fast forward 4 or 5 months or so, and one of my roommates and I (6 of us total) living in a large house just off of campus, decide to get rid of an old nasty couch..... but it's the type with a fold-out bed in it, and it's HEAVY, and wood... not cheaply made.... the Trash people would never pick it up from in front of our house, and we knew this.... the land-lord threatened us because she was getting told by the city that she'd be fined.... so my roommate and I decide to carry it a block away or so, and dump it in-front of someone else's house/apartment at night before trash day.

Well... we get to the corner, and the wood supports under the couch are tearing up our hands... there was no fabric on them.... so we go home, get gloves (it's 3 AM or so... we're both wearing shorts, T-Shirts, and Gloves now) well.... we successfully dump the couch..... we're walking back.... we round the corner to our place (2nd house from the corner) and see a Cop pulling up to a traffic light, and he shines that spot-light deal on us.... we scamper up the steps.... of course he FLOORS it in reverse... runs up to our place.... yelling at us to stop... so we do.... and he asks who's house... at first he doesn't believe it's our house, he thinks we were just crashing into a place b/c we were trying to elude him.....

He calls back-up.... we think at first that he saw us dump the couch....

WELL... WE WERE WRONG!!! He says a lot of cars were being broken into, and he saw us wearing gloves (we still had them in our pockets when he stopped us) and he sees mine.... and he tells the other cop that showed up "yep.... sure enough.. this one is full of glass.. I'm getting all cut up"

Couple things... first I JUST realized when he said this, about the candles.... he didn't buy that for a second.... and then he got pissed when I told him it OBVIOUSLY wasn't automotive glass..... and he had his partner call around to see if any houses had been broken into....

Long story short, they take our info, and gloves.... My roommate had nice leather gloves, so he still wanted them, so we found ourselves at the police department 2 weeks later to pick them up from the evidence room......

We stole about three signs from the police department evidence room!!!! I'll post up a picture of one of them when I get a chance...... I even stole the "Ring bell for service" but the one says "property room rules" or something... it's BIG... it was amazing I could even fit it into the back of my pants!!!!!

God that brings back memories!!! We committed no "real" crime, so we felt the need to steal from the police..... man we must have been crazy!!!!

Most of these are priceless.

My only quick thinking-get-out-of-a-ticket story is a few years back when I worked for a air/water balancing/HVAC contractor. We were on our way home from a cross state job and I was in a hurry. We went through a little town and a car started to slow down to turn right. I just moved into the turn lane to pass him and a cop car coming the other way saw me. I just turned back into the turning lane, put my blinker on, and turned into the parking lot. They pulled me over, but just gave me a warning.

The funniest story is when I was 19 in community college. I was riding my bike home from the G/F's (we only lived 1/2 mile apart so I didn't drive it) at about 2am. It was really windy with a heavy snow and I notice a car start to follow me. I speed up and cut through a field and hear them yelling at me. I have no clue who it is. I get home and go to bed. About 4am my dad comes to my room and tells me the cops are outside. Not only are they outside there they have surrounded our house, used dogs to track my bike, and there are about 6 squad cars outside. One officer tells me I did not stop when he yelled "Police, stop!" earlier. I told him I had no clue who it was and it was 2am. I wasn't about to stop to find out why someone was following me. He takes me out to the his car, searches me and puts me in back. Now I'm top in my class, have no record of anything, and worked for a prestigious law firm and know 3 of the circuit court judges. I ask him which of the 43 lawyers I work for (all of whom like me) he wanted to have a chat with. He gets flush in the face realizing he has nothing and looks like a jack*ss in front of all the other guys he pulled off their routes for this job, so he writes me a ticket for not having a light on my bike. The next day me and one of the judges I constantly bring paperwork to with my job have a good laugh.

Police rang the door bell when I was sleeping, parents came to my room "The Police are here" The copy actually thought it was funny but he had to do his job. Parents were not amused at the time.

I pulled someone over for blowing a stop sign. Not a roll, I don't mess with nonsense. A Complete (No Skid/No Slow) through a stop signat about 35 mph. They were running a bit late for a "flute" recital. I told him if he got out of the car and played a good tune he was free to go. So he did just that, played a tune and it was good so I let him go. When I got back to the station I was questioned about why I had a guy playing the flute on the side of the road. If you could have seen my Sgt's face....priceless.

We each got slapped with a $250 littering ticket, and a $50 truancy ticket.

David Mamet Senior Member Member since:Mar 2008 Location:Los Angeles, CA Blu-ray collection:4	Well..... Me and my best friend were trying to get ahead at work and spent a weekend in the office just the two of us. During this overtime we accidentally uncovered some questionable files that pointed to illegal accounting that led all the way to our boss. We didn't know if we should go to the police immediately and just weren't sure how to handle it altogether. After a long debate between my buddy and I, we decided to take a weekend trip to our boss's vacation home on the beach to decide. When we got there we were shocked to see our boss dead on the couch. Now, to make a long story short, we had to pretend he was still alive to keep others from suspecting us, and in the process avoid mobsters, police, and nosy friends of his. In the end it all worked out and my buddy the cops and I had a good chuckle over the whole ordeal.

Psychonaut Blu-ray Samurai Member since:Apr 2008 Location:Second left after Wal-Mart Blu-ray collection:111	I was in Georgia headed to Florida and was screaming down the highway at 85 when I passed a trooper. He whips out behind me, as I knew he was going to and in no time, filled my rear view mirror with blue and red. I pull over and, trying to think on my feet, burst out of the car, run to the back, lay down on the ground and start looking at the undercarriage. Confused, the officer squats down next to me and asks what's going on. I tell him I heard a loud noise coming from under the car and ask if he can see anything. He breaks out his flashlight and starts looking. Naturally, we don't see anything so I get up, thank him for his help, get back in the car, and drive off. He told me, "Good luck with the car" too. I was driving on base one time in Florida. I had the windows down and my music was moderately loud. I roll up to a stop sign, spy a base police car, come to a complete stop, and go on through. The guy whips out behind me and pulls me over. Long story short, he ends up giving me a ticket because I looked like I was in a hurry. I never broke any laws, I guess I had that look of intent to speed so he nipped it in the bud. There was no fine for tickets on base but after 3, you were restricted from parking on base for a while. I had 17 in my glove box when he issued that

I musta been a total doof because I found out the hard way it was the campus police hq parking lot. the cop didnt even have to get in a cruiser they just walked out with a flashlight and yelled Pull it over! i was all set to get a ticket for reckless operation when the one cop knew my dad, they ended up letting me go with a warning.

Marquoz Blu-ray Samurai Member since:Jan 2008 Location:New Orleans Home Theater Gallery:4 Blu-ray collection:167 Trading Score:2	My most enjoyable run ins with the police were when I was around 14-16. I would come home from RHPS totally trashed (they had a daquiri shop that didn't card in the parking lot). I would be walking (no license or car yet) and when I got pulled over for truancy and public intoxication they would get out all mad and demand my ID. I would show them my ID, and sit there and spin a story of "Oh, I can't drive home in this condition which is why I'm walking" and show my ticket stub for RHPS. Most of the time the cops would give me a ride near my house and drop me off down the block, or they would run me to the parish line, but never arrest me.

Home Theater Gallery:4 Blu-ray collection:268 Blu-ray reviews: 18 Trading Score:25	remembered another decent one from the college days..... kinda long, but I'll try to keep it to the important details..... 1st.... I was in college... drinking/drugs, the whole works, so one day I decide to "make" some candles.... I get the beaded up little balls of wax, and use old Salsa Jars, etc... to melt it in a pot of water on the stove, and cut a piece of wick to fit..... I made multiple colors etc.... I got the idea because I wanted to try to make a HUGE candle... larger than I could buy at stores... but anyway.... So I have these jars.... with candles in them, but I want the candles ONLY, no jar... because I have candle-holder things.... so I take a small hammer, and break the glass..... but it pretty much broke into "slivers" of glass... So I peel off the big pieces, and put on gloves (basic winter gloves if I recall) and I wipe off, and pick off as much glass as I can, and even run it under water, etc... Fast forward 4 or 5 months or so, and one of my roommates and I (6 of us total) living in a large house just off of campus, decide to get rid of an old nasty couch..... but it's the type with a fold-out bed in it, and it's HEAVY, and wood... not cheaply made.... the Trash people would never pick it up from in front of our house, and we knew this.... the land-lord threatened us because she was getting told by the city that she'd be fined.... so my roommate and I decide to carry it a block away or so, and dump it in-front of someone else's house/apartment at night before trash day. Well... we get to the corner, and the wood supports under the couch are tearing up our hands... there was no fabric on them.... so we go home, get gloves (it's 3 AM or so... we're both wearing shorts, T-Shirts, and Gloves now) well.... we successfully dump the couch..... we're walking back.... we round the corner to our place (2nd house from the corner) and see a Cop pulling up to a traffic light, and he shines that spot-light deal on us.... we scamper up the steps.... of course he FLOORS it in reverse... runs up to our place.... yelling at us to stop... so we do.... and he asks who's house... at first he doesn't believe it's our house, he thinks we were just crashing into a place b/c we were trying to elude him..... He calls back-up.... we think at first that he saw us dump the couch.... WELL... WE WERE WRONG!!! He says a lot of cars were being broken into, and he saw us wearing gloves (we still had them in our pockets when he stopped us) and he sees mine.... and he tells the other cop that showed up "yep.... sure enough.. this one is full of glass.. I'm getting all cut up" Couple things... first I JUST realized when he said this, about the candles.... he didn't buy that for a second.... and then he got pissed when I told him it OBVIOUSLY wasn't automotive glass..... and he had his partner call around to see if any houses had been broken into.... Long story short, they take our info, and gloves.... My roommate had nice leather gloves, so he still wanted them, so we found ourselves at the police department 2 weeks later to pick them up from the evidence room...... We stole about three signs from the police department evidence room!!!! I'll post up a picture of one of them when I get a chance...... I even stole the "Ring bell for service" but the one says "property room rules" or something... it's BIG... it was amazing I could even fit it into the back of my pants!!!!! God that brings back memories!!! We committed no "real" crime, so we felt the need to steal from the police..... man we must have been crazy!!!!

My only quick thinking-get-out-of-a-ticket story is a few years back when I worked for a air/water balancing/HVAC contractor. We were on our way home from a cross state job and I was in a hurry. We went through a little town and a car started to slow down to turn right. I just moved into the turn lane to pass him and a cop car coming the other way saw me. I just turned back into the turning lane, put my blinker on, and turned into the parking lot. They pulled me over, but just gave me a warning. The funniest story is when I was 19 in community college. I was riding my bike home from the G/F's (we only lived 1/2 mile apart so I didn't drive it) at about 2am. It was really windy with a heavy snow and I notice a car start to follow me. I speed up and cut through a field and hear them yelling at me. I have no clue who it is. I get home and go to bed. About 4am my dad comes to my room and tells me the cops are outside. Not only are they outside there they have surrounded our house, used dogs to track my bike, and there are about 6 squad cars outside. One officer tells me I did not stop when he yelled "Police, stop!" earlier. I told him I had no clue who it was and it was 2am. I wasn't about to stop to find out why someone was following me. He takes me out to the his car, searches me and puts me in back. Now I'm top in my class, have no record of anything, and worked for a prestigious law firm and know 3 of the circuit court judges. I ask him which of the 43 lawyers I work for (all of whom like me) he wanted to have a chat with. He gets flush in the face realizing he has nothing and looks like a jack*ss in front of all the other guys he pulled off their routes for this job, so he writes me a ticket for not having a light on my bike. The next day me and one of the judges I constantly bring paperwork to with my job have a good laugh.
