...
this is right on campus of a major major university
maybe kids there get mad smashed and get in to a motor vehicle and drive around the block waiting for a patroling officer to send them to jail and get their license revoked...
cuz campus patrol and police patrol go around the campus like nothing else... u'll see something going past that has strobe lights on the top of the car every 2 minutes (NO JOKE)
and i bet the kids goto the campus knows whats going on better than i do rather than pushing their luck (basically none)...
officers should know that too...

I find nicer cops are the more experienced, seasoned, and older cops. While most of the a$$hole cops that I have gotton are the young, rookie cops.
In my view Cops should understand that they are paid by us, the citizen to protect us. And even if they pull us over suspecting we did something wrong, you have to at least treat us with some respect since we are paying your salery.
Everytime I'm pulled over by a young/rookie cop, I feel like they are talking to me in a really sarcastic manner. They are very rude and condisending.
With older and seasoned cops, They are polite, not sarcastice or rude. I don't know if they've calmed down from their powertrip or they understand that they work for the public, not against the public.
And about brotherhood rules and such, it isn't just for fellow cops, friends, and family they let go. I work for a federal agency in my country(Canada's version of the FBI) When I was pulled over for speeding, I told them the truth, I was late for a meeting and it was a stupid thing to do to try and make it to a meeting. He asked me where I worked and so I told him the Federal agency name (Basically I work on one of the computer programs in his cruiser that helps him pull me over
) So after I told him where I worked, he let me go with no ticket. It helped that I had my parking pass for the complex as well as my security Badge with me as well. I saw him glance down on the badge before he let me go.

Man... come on
I rolled out and i forgot headlamps cuz university city is like lit like day light anyway so i didnt even find the difference....
then immediately lights flashing behind me
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did the same thing the day I bought my car. Drove it home and decided to take the wife out to eat. We left the restaurant and was on a 4 lane leading to the nearby expressway - I saw those light flashing be hind me - immediately pulled over to the side - which was less lighted - then suddenly realized my lights werent turned on. He walked up beside my window and I thought I had been had for sure! He asked for my license and registration. I showed him my license then suddenly realized I hadnt put my purchase papers in the car! I explained I had just purchased the car that afternoon ( i did have the temporarly paper plate on the rear ). I guess looking at me - he figured being as old as I was - and my wife with me I hadnt stolen the car! LOL - Didnt get any tickets! Nice cop! He could have given me two.

Let me start by saying, that, in general I like the Police. My brothers a cop.
MP for 20 years Iraq twice ('91 & '03), cop now for 2 more and going.
same thing happened to my wife, coming back from her high school renuion.
I had been drinking she doesn't... so she drove my car.
Saturday night, midnight, and she didn't turn the headlights on. Were in the city so you really cant tell. And shes driving like 5mph UNDER the speed limit.
Well 1 cop pulls us over, we wait a little then 2 others show up.
She totally sober! They ask her to get out & proceed to do the whole drunk driver test. Now, my wife has NO coordination whatsoever. I have my head stinking out the moon roof the entire time watching the "action". She barely touches her nose, probably poked her eye once or twice. Cant walk a straight line to save her life. next they ask her to blow into the breathalizer... and they're all salivating now...
ha... 0.0!!! the look on their faces was priceless!!
So I yell out "do it again!"
They thought they had one for sure. They apologized ans let her go.
Basically late night, no lights, woman driving slow... BIG RED FLAG-usually

I got stopped late (~11:30-ish) one evening on my way home. The officer said I was weaving (I'm 99% sure I wasn't). I made a U-turn under the freeway without my turn signal, so he used that as a reason to pull me over. Then he proceeded to quiz me about drinking, which I hadn't been. He put his pen in front of my face and made me follow it with my eyes.
Anyway, my inspection was out, so he gave me a ticket for that and let me go. Normally, if you correct the inspection violation, the court will dismiss your citation, if it occurred within 60 days of expiration of your inspection sticker. Well, I got my ticket on the 61st day, so they would not dismiss it!
So, I'm wondering if the cop saw me, then ran my plate through his computer... and knew that my inspection *might* be out 61 days?? Do they have such information??
It's fine if they do have such information and they want to use that to pull me over... and I don't mind so much that he gave me a ticket for an expired inspection, but I was completely offended that he made up some BS story (weaving) in order to pull me over.

What's up with all the Delaware bashing? Delaware isn't that bad. Wilmington has a nice little scene on the weekends (Trolley Square) and Dewey beach is way better than any Jersey beach for partying. It is butt cheap to live here and it is even easier to get a job that overpays. My house, if in NJ/PA, would almost be double the price I paid for it here. No sales tax rules. If you are not content staying in Delaware for the weekend...then it is only 35 minutes to Phlly from Wilmington and 45 to Baltimore.
I'm not saying Delaware is the greatest place to live....just saying it isn't as bad as most of you think. I have to stick up for my little state.
* Spend a weekend at the University of Delaware if you really want to have some fun. Best 5 years of my life.

been pulled over 9 times since I got my car, and I have heard every excuse:
-- it looked like you were speeding, but I didn't radar you... I told him it looks fast in the parking lot... anyway he stupid *** had no choice but to let me know.
-- Been a few times where they "received a call I was driving wreckless, or speeding, or nearly running poeple off the road..." etc... um, nice try, but anyway even if I was what is your point, you didn't see it.
Long story short, only 2 times I actually got a ticket, 1 I already raped him in court and the 2nd I have to go in 3 weeks. Improper Lane Change??? I think there are real criminals out there who don't happen to drive sports cars.

I've been pulled over a couple of times, and the officers were always very professional and courteous, and they always let me go (but my infractions were always minor, for example, maybe 10mph over limit or something).
I never tell them I'm a physician. I never sell it. But they will notice certain things, like a stethoscope or the coat.
