A guy at my school once parked his 2-door Geo Metro (one of the REALLY tiny ones)almost totally sideways in a parking space. They gave him a ticket because his front bumper was about an inch over the line.

a cop was waiting at the local speed trap all day.

if you look carefully, you can see him usually, but this day he moved.

i was going about 95 in a 55, on a local highway.

he said to me
"i've been waiting here all day for you" ...
"But Officer, i tried to get here as fast as i could" ...

he tried to say the 'do you know how fast you were going?' thing, but couldn't make it all out... he collapsed into laughter...

he said he was the best one he's ever heard yet, and told me to get the heck out of there, and to slow down.


He didn't make his quota that month.

Just last monday morning I was driving down this straight, flat, 25 mph road near my place which I never speed on - usually a school zone (I was a little earlier that day) and very often a place cops like to wait looking for speeders/people without county stickers. I hit a patch of black ice and lost all control of my car. Slid sideways into the opposing lane and this 1986 van that never even slowed down totaled my car. Everything is covered, and I was thinking of selling the thing anyway, so except for some sore muscles it's mostly no big deal. Cop comes out after all is said and done and gives me a ticket for "Driving too fast for conditions". It was a clear sunny, 34 degree morning, the problem was here in Arlington, VA we had that blizzard a week before and had snow plowed into piles along the road. Halfway down the road it was in the sun and had started to melt and refreeze, but just looked like a damp road. I'd just bite the bullet and take the ticket but it's apparantly considered a reckless - 6 pts! Anyone know if fighting this thing is a lost cause?

Sixteen. Licensed for a few weeks. Coming home from work, run a yellow light. Cop "teaches" me that running a yellow light is just as bad as running a red light. $165 for the violation. And another $165 because on of the tail lights on my dad's truck (not brake light or turn signal- just the back lights that comes on when you turn on your lights) is broken. The farking thing had a cracked plastic covering.

I hate Oregon.

After reading some of these, I wonder how anyone can say that cops are evenhanded and just enforce the law. Granted, some people should be whipped by a police officer just for getting out of bed in the morning, but their petty little power trips irritate the shiat out of me.

Makes me glad I live in the land of little traffic. Even so, the cops tried to have my dog put down because she wasn't on a leash.

Here's one: Improper turn.

In general, the donut-munching-bastard-cops of Irmo, SC seem to have it out for the pizza delivery guys. Well, I made a right off a really steep incline (the kind where you end up rolling down before you power your way back onto the main road) and ended up pulling in front of somebody. Guys flashes me his brights, and I assume it's all good. Well, the cop wheels around, and pulls me over. Naturally, he asks me if I know wha I did, to which I replied, "Uh...no."

Well, after get kvetched for almost getting killed, he let me on my merry way with a ticket for "improper turn".
Stupid asshat cop.

We have a loitering law in this town, but only during summer months, and only if you're under 18. Dumbasses. I know a lot of people who were picked up b/c they wanted to sit outside (there are tables in the town centre, but we're not allowed to sit there), and the cops thought they looked like trouble.

Cops have too much time on their hands if they're concerned about a bunch of 16 year olds.

I live in Wisconsin, where we get completely taken over in the summer by jackasses from Chicago. I own a place "up North" in a resort area, and was driving up Highway 51 to get there, (about a three/four hour drive). I drive that route a lot, approximately 2 times per month, and hate all of the FIBs (F*$cking Illinois Bastards) that also drive it. I made a sign that said, "Go Home FIBS" and put it in my back window.

I got pulled over and warned to take it down, although I didn't get a ticket. The cop said, "no matter how much I agree with you, you can't antagonize everyone else on the road." Then he said something about how the FIBS were good for leaving their money in Wisconsin, anyhow, and how he liked to ticket them. After that, I felt pretty good taking my sign down.

On a road trip, in Maryland, we got a ticket for "being pederstrians on the highway" while we took our picture at the "entering Maryland" sign.

The best part was the MARYLAND cop gaves the "you boys from up north treatment" - Maryland, not Alabama, please.

When I was 14 I was a paperboy. I got a $10 ticket for riding a bike after dark without a light. Some asshat cop was filling in and wanted to look good. The cop that usually covered my route took the ticket and had it voided.

MurderBull:

The ticket you got is the police officer saying that the accident is your fault -- or at least more your fault than the other guy's. Generally, in a property damage accident, at least one party is ticketed. It makes it a lot easier for the insurance companies to determine who is paying who.

Ticket for "unsafe lane change," (Ok, i admit i deserved something, but i had a brainfart, and definitely was not risking anyone's life and property. Maybe "annoying lane change" would have been more appropriate.) $70 bucks, which is a lot on my budget. This was 2 miles north of the Beltway and not far from DC...EVERYONE DOES IT. I know it doesn't make it right. But I was fuming. Rookie cop didn't even bother to tell me there had been 2 random shootings (turns out it was the first day of the sniper fiasco) within a 2 mile radius of where i was pulled over, which was a nasty intersection less than a mile from where I live. Or that, I later found out, my model/color car was on their list of suspicious vehicles. Thanks a ton.

Also, when I was living on campus at U. of MD., my boyfriend had spent the night on a Sunday night, and parked at a meter outside my dorm. We wanted to sleep in, so I went out at 6:45 (meter operation began at 7:00), put $4 (iirc, it was a 4 hour meter at $1 an hour) in the meter and went back to sleep. Went out at 8 or 9 with what I thought was plenty of time left, but it turns out that the meters automatically reset at 7:00. Got a $20 or $25 ticket with a timestamp of 7:05. I took it directly to the Campus parking office where, lucky me, it was voided. Ugh.

I know there are some non-asshat cops and metermaids out there, but they just seem so very very few and far between after reading a few stories like these.

No ticket, but it once took six police officers and three squad cars to give me a lecture about carrying objects that can be mistaken for nunchucks in the downtown area. The objects in question were two toy plastic swords that I honestly don't remember why I was carrying. The fact that they feel it takes 6 of them to deal with one me armed with a pair of toys is one hell of a compliment, if you ask me.

Also, does anyone ever notice when receiving a ticket that there is a blank on which the cop can write whatever violation he wants? I'm seriously wondering if they can completely make something up and have it be valid. !@#$!%

(I realize I did not enable voting but i don't care enough and it's probably too late.)

I had a really fun sportbike race once. Outran 4+ Highway Patrol cars, but got stopped by the roadblock. Damn radios. Had 2 of their cars end up in the ditch with blown radiator hoses. I got up to around 160mph, the max that the bike could do. I think they fell off around 100ish. They weren't too happy about it. Had to walk to work for a few months after that. But, ya know what, that shiat was worth it. Good times, good times.

Got me for 135 in a 70 and reckless driving. I wanted to pipe up and say '135? come on that was 150 easy.' but thought better of it.

I received a ticket for having a beer at a bar in Kill Devil Hills NC. I was in a band that traveled a lot. We had just finished our last set and it was 2am. I ASKED the bartender if it was too late to have a beer. He said no and handed me one. I asked because we were in a different county every day, a different state or 2 every week. I can't keep up with all of the local drinking laws/ordinances.
As I was enjoying my brew on the loading dock waiting for our truck, an unmarked cruiser pulled up, the officer got out and asked me what I had in my hand. I said "a beer". He gave me a ticket. IF I HAD BEEN 30 FEET OUTSIDE ON THE SIDEWALK, I would have been OK because there is open conainer 24 hours. The fact that I was on a premisis where alcohol is served after 2am was the violation.

what are these "points" I keep hearing about?

how much time do you have?

My best friend was driving back from the grocery store and went over a high spot in the road where it went over a railroad track. At the same time, a cop was coming from the other direction, and since it was evening my friend had his lights on. Due to the big hump in the road, my friend's lights shined in the cops face. The cop proceeded to turn around and give him a ticket for "bright-lighting a cop".

But wait, my story gets better.

When my friend pointed out that he only had his dims on, proving it by showing that he didn't even have bright lights installed (this was a late 70s firebird where you had 4 headlights, 2 dim and 2 bright) the cop gave him another ticket, this one for "not having bright lights".

Now, think about it. Two tickets simultaneously, one for bright lighting a cop, the other for not having bright lights...neither of which is a ticketable offense...hrm.

t

I'm still dealing with this ticket!

On or about November 2002, I was pulled over by police. I was in the left turn lane and they were on the opposite side of the street making a right turn. Those bastards actually waited for me to turn so they could go after me. Obvious?

Anyhoo, the reason they pulled me over was for having those little blue LED lights on my window washer sprayers. While it was just a fix-it ticket and I went home to fix it immediately, this is where the fun begins.

I went to the traffic division to prove that I had indeed made the correction. Stood in line with all those other dorks with citation problems of their own. When I was called I presented the citation to the clerk. After punching in the citation number she told me it was not in their system and told me to check next week. Okay, I thought. I'll come back next week.

A week passes. I go to the traffic division again. Still, it was not in their system.

This process was repeated two more times, each time paying a $6 non-refundable parking fee, each time yeilding the same result. After the third visit I received a letter from the City of Signal Hill, stating that the citation I was written up for was incorrect. Okay, maybe NOW it will be in their system.

On my 4th visit, with the corrected citiation in hand, I was told the same thign - there was no record of it. I was given a phone number to call to find out what's going on. I was told call in a few weeks, so they could update the system.

While waiting these two weeks I got yet another letter from Signal Hill. This one told me that my simple fix-it ticket, which I had been trying to correct for months now, had turned into a standard ticket because, in their eyes, I had failed to correct the problem in a timely manner. WTF?!?!

I called that number I was given and wasn't told anything I didn't already know - except that the cops in Signal Hill are a bunch of bored, lame-ass dorks who couldn't catch a cold.

Because of this clerical error, I now have to make a court date to prove to these asshats that the correction was made - over three months ago.

NOTE TO ALL VISITORS TO LONG BEACH, CA: SIGNAL HILL POLICE HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO. THEY WILL PULL YOU OVER FOR ANYTHING.

I feel better.

Remember, that's Signal Hill police. Link didn't work in post above.

2MuchC0ffeeMan: That's a good one. Did you get it from the "Joke of the Day?" e-mail list?

Also, the stories that aren't obviously fake are hilarious. Here's mine...
I got a speeding ticket in St. Louis right before I moved to Columbia, MO. So rather than paying It. I decided to go to the traffic school, which is cheaper anyway and you don't get points on your license. Well, due to strep throat and me being a total moron, I missed the court date, so a warrant was issues for FTA.

SO, I head over to the Columbia police department with my little piece of paper and say, "There is a warrat out for my arrest, please arrest me." WELL, apparently since the ticket was issued in St. Louis, I have to take care of in St. Louis. Fine. So I call the police department in St. Louis. THey tell me that since there's a warrant out for my arrest as a result of a moving violation, it would be inadvisable to drive from Columbia, and to get arrested in Columbia.

Anyway, after about 5 hours on the phone I eventually had to drive to St. Louis to get arrested, and the cop who arrested me was the same jackass that pulled me over. He asked what I did and when I said "36 in a 25," he said "Oh, if it were me I wouldn't have given you a ticket.

Fvcker.

wow.. this killed about 2 and a half hours reading all these. alot of them are of asshats speeding. What really takes the cake though is like, %80 of these tickets could have been avoided if you opened you eyes and saw a cop in back of you!

Whats that? ole black and blue is behind you? dont throw shat out the window! Whats that? some (cop) car is trailing you? Get off at the next turn and PARK Some where! Maestro, you could have avoided 2 tickets just by getting off at the next rest stop. and where did the cop car catch you speeding? let me guess... he was right behind you??

my clutch went out on my car and i was trying to get to my sons school to pick him up i came uop to a stop sign and essentially "rolled" thru it because if youve ever driven a car with no clutch you have to keep the clutch and the driving pedal pretty much going at all times, anyhow i admit i rolled thru it but the cop issued that i was going 15 mph (i wasnt) damn ticket cost me $189

Onceler. Go to hell and die. My brother is a cop. I resent your childish, stupid, arrogant remark. Fvck you.

someone mentioned a cop at their door over an overdue library book, I can beat that easy. I spent 5 hours in jail because of library books that I had returned on time. Dumbass at the library can't find the books, gets the cops to issue a warrant. I'd returned the books the day I moved out of town, 5 days after they'd been checked out from the library. 3 years later I'm passing through that town and get pulled over for turning at night when a cop is in view (it will get you pulled over every time in that town) and they run my license then come back and tell me to get out of the car. They then drive me to the cop shop, make me strip and put on the orange jumpsuit, and throw me in a pitch-black cell and leave me there for 5 hours while my wife drives around to the few people in that state she knew I knew and tries to get someone to bail me out. The cell was so dark I literally could not see a thing. I had to just walk blind with my hands out in front of me until I ran into the double-decker cot. Hearing a couple different people snoring added to the fun. The best part was falling asleep with my hand up above my head over my glasses, then waking up with that whole arm completely asleep and not realizing it was my own hand across my face. I was scared shiatless. After my wife got me out I went on to my parents' and slept for a few hours then went back to that town to the library and told them exactly what day they'd been returned and they dropped the charges.

Missouri sucks

this threads prolly done but....

I was pulled over once for speeding.
the cop was heading in the other direction, and I was the only truck on the road heading the other way.

He flipped a bi|ch and stopped me for 65 in a 45. He even wrote on the ticket, "VISUAL ESTIMATION" speeding.

w.t.f.

One Friday night on Campus at Oregon State, a friend of mine came to pick me up when I still lived in the dorms. After picking me up she went up to the main secton of the campus, which does not permit cars M-F. The intersection she was at was like this: Left (one way goign right), Straight (no cars M-F) and right (closed due to construction). Since it was about 11:40 friday night, and she couldnt figure out what else to do, she drove through the area that doesnt permit cars on weekdays, and got a 167$ ticket for it.

When she went to court for it, the cop didnt show, so the ticket was dropped, but the judge politely reminded my friend that if you get to an intersection that you can't go straight, and you cant turn, you have to make a U-Turn and go back the way you came, which is amusing because in oregon you can only make U-turns on intersections specifically labeled as such.

This one actually happened to my dad.

He was in Cleveland to see his lawyer. Now, my dad is handicapped and has a current, legal handicapped parking permit. Part of his problem is mobility-related so he cannot walk for even a mild distance, and even then it's incredibly hard on him to walk at all.

So he and my mom we looking for a handicapped parking space close to the building he had to be in (the Standard Bldg. for you Cle. Farkers) and finally found one. Unfortunately, it was the only one within a reasonable distance from the bldg. and there was a delivery truch parked illegaly in it. My father asked a UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICER that was passing by at the moment he he could park in the available sopt right behind the delivery truck. The officer answered, "I guess so." and left, so my parents parked there.

When the came back to their car a short time later there was a ticket on the car issued for some sort of illegal parking (cannot remember the exact violation, however, he was parked inbetween other cars that were already there). The other cars will still there and all of them unticketed, as the delivery truck was still parked in the handicapped parking space and unticketed.

Moral of the story: If you are legally handicapped and try to park in Cleveland with anything other than a Cuyahoga county plate and in anything other than an expressly marked handicapped parkig spot, they will ticket your ass immediately, even if you are legally parked in a spot and with your handicapped parking permit on display.


Farking fat, stupid Cleveland cops can kiss my ass and call me Queen.

I got pulled over in a boat once....for speeding. I had my life vest, so I didnt get a ticket.

It was either in Minnesota or Virginia, I can't remeber.

I once got a ticket for going 90 in a 60. Over the hill the limit dropped 10mph and i didnt see it. I was still speeding and deserved it, so im not bitter. The cop just laughed.

Here's mine:

When I was in high school, our family had four cars, and so I, being the youngest, was forced to park on the street in front of my house (as opposed to the cushy garage spaces or even the driveway space).

Now my neighborhood is right next to the high school, and so lots of kids would come and clog our streets parking, since there were limited spaces at school. My neighborhood, to stop this, put up signs every 30 feet or so (making it much uglier than cars, but that's besides the point) saying, in effect, no parking from 8am to 4pm. However, residents were still allowed to park.

Needless to say, I got ticketed for parking in front of MY OWN FREAKING HOUSE!!!

I just paid it since it was only like $30 and going to court over it would be too much of a hassle. But, damn...

MsterScary, you darn hippie!

comin back home day after new years, I hit a patch of black ice and rolled into the median of I94. cop comes and is inspecting what happened. withing 15 minutes three OTHER people did the same thing.
Only I got a ticket for inattentive driving. faught the ticket and won because the cop didn't see me being inattentive :)

I'm in the same boat as Smerfnablin and Barch97, backing/pulling though a parking spot, only mine was for $5. I think it cost them more to get the dumbass out to the BFE parking lot I was at and write the damn thing then for me to pay it.

God I love the BGSU campus cops...

Another entry:

I ALMOST got in trouble for this.

Once, again, I'm in high school. I'm hanging out at McDonalds with a group of friends, and we're acting silly. As we're about to get up to leave, I throw a french fry at my friend for some reason or another (we're all laughing at something).

Anyways, we take a few steps towards the door and this big serious looking man walks up to us.

Big serious looking man: "STOP!"
Us: "err...."
BSLM: "I saw what you did back there"
Us: "uhh....?"
BSLM: "You threw your food at your friend there."
Us: "so...?"
BSLM: "I'll have you know that that is ASSAULT!"
Us: "????!!!!"
BSLM: "You kids may be into joking around but I could arrest you for that. Assault is serious. You don't want to cross me, I'm a cop!" (he pulls out a badge, which looks real enough).
Us: ::rolling eyes::
BSLM: "I'll fvcking arrest you for spitting on the sidewalk if I have to!"
Us: ::leave::

Now I know that some people like to go around posing as cops, but just seeing how this guy acted, it was quite genuine. Going over it in my mind since then, I've conclude that he probably really was a cop who just wanted to scare some kids a little bit, thinking that maybe we'd go straight if we were paranoid into thinking UC cops were at every corner watching us spit or throw french fries.

And, oh yes, when I left the restaraunt (I use the term loosely), I DID spit on the sidewalk. He just stared at us and grimaced.

I was once cited for parking more than 18 inches away from the curb. DO THE METER MAIDS HAVE RULERS WITH THEM OR WHAT?!

I was on my way home from visiting my parents the christmas before last. I had a few shopping bags with presents they had gotten for me, plus a doggie bag - that is, my 10lb pomeranian in a bag, heh - and i had the flu pretty bad and was feverish.

i get off the LIRR at penn station (stupid parents moved out of the city when they retired), have out my 7 day unlimited metrocard, and was about to try swiping it and fitting somehow through the turnstile with all that stuff when someone exits through one of the doors. they hold it open for me, i walk through, and this plainclothes cop comes up to me and asks me why i didn't pay the fare.

i explain the above to him, and that since i have a 7 day unlimited card it doesn't matter if i swipe it or not - no fare would have been deducted anyway. the asshole denies the existence of such a metrocard, and i offer to talk to the chick in the transit booth with him to prove it. instead he insists on taking my license and calling in to check my record!!!

then he made me stand there, shivering and feverish with my dog getting agitated and his other plainclothes cops friends laughing at me etc etc while he called it in. he said well you seem to be clean (what the fvck?) and gave me a 60 dollar ticket for fare evasion.

WHATEVER!

This happened to my friend:

He's driving, in broad daylight, perfect weather. Cop pulls him over.

"I'm going to have to give you a ticket for tailgaiting."
"What? Why? I was following at a 2 second distance."
"You should have been following at THREE seconds."

$135 ticket.

One summer I was coming home from school, and it was pitch black in the middle of day because there were tornados sighted all over the area. They had been sighted within miles of where I was. So i was hightailing it home with my lights on at three in the afternoon, and i got pulled over and ticketed for doing 78 in a 55.

Nyla - Same thing happed to me. Got the ticket tho. Brought it home thinking my mom would laugh. She wasn't amused. Had to go to court. $5 fine.

Oh, and the week after i got that ticket i still hadnt gotten my license back in the mail yet. I was stopped at a checkpoint and asked to show ID. I told him i didnt have it back yet and he said "just give me your name then". I said "travis martin" and he went to his car to check things out. He was gone for way too long and came back looking angry. He said, "are you lying to me son?" and i said no, i really do have a license. He says, "Well we don't have a 'Travis Muffin' in the database..." I started cracking up and told him my last name wasnt muffin, but martin. He got really red and hurried me away.

I got a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt. I was sitting in a parking lot, waiting for my wife who was inside shopping. I was in a legal parking space, with the engine turned off, listening to a baseball game.

Two stories:

A buddy of mine who drives a Camaro SS was ticketed for speeding through the Texas A&M campus by... wait for it... a campus cop on a mountain bike. Seriously, I think he might've had the capacity to escape that situation.

This one happened to me. I had a garage space during my sophomore year at A&M, and one night I tried to park, but my access card wouldn't work. The security guard was no help at all, so I parked in a staff lot next to my dorm and planned to get up early and try the garage again. Sadly, I didn't get up quite early enough, and as I walked out of my dorm, I saw a tow truck taking my car off to God-knows-where. I ended up paying close to $80 bucks for the ticket and the tow. Not that I'm bitter or anything...

Got caught scalping tickets to the final game of the mets vs yankees world series at Shea. I did not want to be in the stadium if the yankees won.

Undercover cop took my tickets, gave me a 150 dollar ticket. Ontop of that they told the mets on me, who sent me a nasty letter saying they could revoke my season tickets. In the same envelope was a letter saying the cost of season tickets had gone up 3 dollars a game, and I had 1 month to renew.

Last week while driving on I-90 in washington state, I was pulled over by the fuzz for doing 76 in a 70 at the bottom of a hill.

I was coming down from the pass, had my cruise control set to 73 but it sped up on on the steeper part. It was 11 at night and I was the only person on the road. The cop looks in my truck and asks if my friends and I had been smoking pot. We just got a chuckle over that and said no (we hadn't). He goes up to the front of my truck and comes back and says that I have too many lights on (my headlights, fog lights and driving lights (PIAA 520)), and then I couldn't find my latest farking proof of insurance. I have 10 expired ones, but I couldn't find the latest.

So he comes back from his patrol car and writes me up for having more than one set of auxilery lights on, and no proof of insurance. All my lights themselves are legal. I read, according to state law, that I can't have more than one set of extra lights on ON THE HIGHWAY. It's legal on any other road, but I get cited for it on an empty highway at 11pm. Let alone getting pulled over for 6 over in a 70.

WAC 46.37.270 - Too many auxiliary lights on while driving -$86

WAC 46.30.020 - Driving while uninsured - $450

Total cost of citation = $576 . . . yay

He couldn't even add the two together right, 86 + 450 isnt 576. Needless to say, I'm going to fight it. On the ticket, the cop listed my truck the wrong color, the wrong owner, and in the wrong jurisdiction, plus I have current insurance. Asshat.

On halloween one year I was driving home from a party all dressed up as a skeleton when I saw something dark and fuzzy that ran in front of my car. Me, being the curious type, pulled the car over to see what it was. I figured since I was on a dark country road I wouldn't have to worry about anything or anyone.
Well the dark fuzzy thing turned out to be a rabid gopher. I went over by it and it started chasing me, hissing and foaming at the mouth. So I of course was dancing about kicking my feet up in the air (looking really rediculous too)trying to avoid getting bit and the 2 friends i had with me in the car were laughing their asses off.
I then got back in the car and continued driving home listening to my 2 friends comment about how assinine i looked dancing about in the street running away from a gopher. All of a sudden i saw the reds and blues in my rear view. I pulled over and rolled down the window. The officer took one look at us 'en costume' and asked "boy, just what the hell were you doing back there dancing in the road?".
Needless to say when I told him then next words out of his mouth were "step outta the car son". He then shined a flashlight in my side of the car and noticed my slingshot partially under my seat. He then mentioned that someone had been driving around the neighborhood shooting out windows so naturally i was immediatly a suspect (we were nowhere near that neighborhood all night of course).
The search then commenced. It turns out that one of the 2 other friends in my car was carrying an oz of wacky tabbacky and a hooka in his backpack and had failed to mention this to me previously. So we all got 2 citations for possesion of controlled substance and paraphenalia.
We were then arrested and taken off to jail. That was the stupidest ticket i've ever gotten. If I hadn't bothered with that farking gopher i never would have had to deal with it. The court hearing for this is an even funnier tale but that is a whole other story....

the parking decal for my university expired over a 4-day weekend. I know, I should have gotten it renewed before the weekend but I forgot. I went to class at 8AM tuesday and when I came out at 9 I had a ticket. I took the ticket off the window and drove to my next class. I had some time after that class and was planning to go to the registration office to renew it at that time. As you might have guessed, I came out after the second class and had another parking ticket.

bastards!
