Police Encounters Options

[*steve330*]

On my way to work today, I passed some guy going like 20 under, was going 38 in a 35, and made a U-turn and my signal stopped prematurely. As I was getting out of my car, a cop speeds up behind me and stops, and asks for license/insurance etc. I'm nervous haha, so he looks around my car and sees a bag that has sugar in it(it had candy in it before I ate it all haha). He asks me if it's cocaine. I say no sir and hand him the bag to examine, he says he's going to take it so I'm like w/e. Anyways, I eventually got a warning, but I was damn nervous haha.

What are some of y'alls close calls/stupid reasons to get ticketed?

uh...i got pulled over one time because the light around my license plate was burnt out. yeah.

then one time, i was at my cousins and he and a friend were drinking. well, they found out about this party so we decided to go and my cousin thought he was good enough to drive and "knew the way". so we all got into the car, his friend in the passenger seat (it was his car) and i'm in the back seat. we decided to take the 30 pack they were drinking out of with us and a fifth of vodka. at this time, i hadn't been drinking and was just going to wait til the party. turns out the people gave us the wrong directions and we ended up by the airport (about an hour from where we were supposed to be). we thought fine and stopped for gas. when we were there, i went in to use the bathroom and they got gas and then we left. when we pulled out, we saw 2 cops sitting across the street in a vacant lot and kind of watched them as we drove away. all was fine and they didn't follow. we then proceeded to take a turn to get back on the highway in which another cop was sitting around the corner. he quickly started following us though we were doing nothing wrong; my cousin was going the speed limit and wasn't driving all drunk like. we continued on for about 3 miles until he finally pulled us over. we were screwed. he took our licenses and asked where we were going and we told him a party and where. he asked why we were so far out of the way to which we told him we got the wrong directions. he then asked if we'd been drinking. i said no, my cousin said no, and his friend said yes. all was fine and he went to run our licenses. it took about 10 minutes until he finally came back and asked if he could search the car. after that, he asked if we had any weapons, alcohol, or drugs in the car to which his friend said no. (keep in mind his friend was still drinking the whole time we were on the way and had empty beer cans under his seat and he also had a bb gun pistol in which he was randomly shooting out the window). we knew we were screwed and just agreed to it. we got out, stood with the other officer he apparently called for back up, and watched him search. he found the 30 pack in the back of the explorer and the fifth of vodka. he came up and asked why we had lied. no one answered and he asked us again if we'd been drinking. my cousin said he'd stopped 5 hours prior though it was only about 1 or 2, his friend said yes, and i said no. he'd asked if we'd ever been in trouble before. my cousins friend stated that he had gotten an mip about a year ago, though he'd just gotten it the night before. my cousin said he's had a bunch of tickets and that's why he still had an intermediate license, and i said i'd been in no serious trouble. he then nicely said alright, here's your choice. you can pour out the alcohol, pick up the trash and leave, and then his police buddy butted in and said or you can just go to jail. both were nice and we took the first option. i was instructed to drive to where ever we were going. funny thing is, they even gave us directions to the party, but we just went home. another funny thing is...we were all under 21. we got so lucky and were lucky that the police were so nice about it.

wow, that took a while to type, but i had to get it all in there to have the outcome seem good.
