Good thing the cop stopped him because he was headed for the 241 tollway to clip a Honda.

Look, one never knows about emotionally disturbed people. His reaction to something going wrong may be different next time.

"You brute! You brute! You brute! You brute! You brute! You brute!"

This needs a sick tag, there's nothing worse than a whining crying man.

Actually Whitman had a brain tumor which was probably a large factor in his unfortunate decision making skills.

I'd cry like a little girl if it would get me out of a $250 speeding ticket. Good thing my BIL is a cop. I just take the ticket, say have a nice day officer, call my BIL and then tear up the ticket. My wife has a cop tag badge. When the cop gets close enough to see the tag badge, they turn off the lights and she goes on her merry way.

He did, but he traded it in on a Powder Blue New Beetle Cabriolet.

It seems like there are some people that cops just like to pull over. I'm not sure what it is, their car, their hair, or what.

But that's why I drive a boring car.

Not sure if serious, that would be John Edwards-level useless as a person if it were remotely close to the actual case. Gotta be a troll.

What does AutoCAD have to do with this? Other than being superior to MicroStation V8i

I know everyone in this thread is a Manly Man who would never dream about getting so upset at misfortune that they might lose some measure of control, but I'd like to point out that none of you know much about this unfortunate fellow at all.

In my state, driving on a suspended is a class one misdemeanor that carries a maximum 1 year in jail, in addition to all the other fees, fines, and fleecing that the county seems to enjoy so much. After that, it's more rape from the DMV with more funtime fees, fines, and seemingly random whatnot.

I'm guessing that this guy, like a lot of other people, is just barely hanging on. He works, but it just isn't enough with the "skyrocketing" prices of food, gas, and everything else you can't go without. He probably puts in his 40 hours honestly and it just isn't enough. Sure he shouldn't have been driving on the suspended. Sure he made a mistake. Sure that mistake will cost him far more than he can afford, in addition to his car, which he probably needs for work.

So why not cut the guy a little slack for the meltdown? After all, he's probably completely and irrevocably farked. Try to have a little empathy eh?

Or you can find him under the bridge he'll probably be living at and laugh at him there. That doesn't make you a douche or anything.. and it's not like it could ever happen to you.

Cop keeps his cool in hilarious fashion

So, one day, my father and my uncle were speeding down a California highway in their cheap piece of shiat Hyundai truck. A cop sees them roaring down the highway and pulls them over. As the guy is walking up, my uncle says in an overly-loud whisper, "What do I gotta do to get out of speeding ticket?"

The cop reaches his hand up to his mouth, and as if blowing a kiss says, "Blow me."
My father then says, deadpan, "For a $250 dollar speeding ticket? No thanks."

/way back when.

...and then he ordered the beer that was "less taste" instead of the Miller Lite?

Thank you, sir\madam

Jim_Callahan: Not sure if serious, that would be John Edwards-level useless as a person if it were remotely close to the actual case. Gotta be a troll.

Absolutely 100% true. About 2 weeks ago got pulled over for doing 53 in a 40 zone. Was very pleasant to the cop, thanked him, and within an hour had the ticket "taken care of". My BIL told that as long as it's not something stupid, like reckless driving or doing 100mph, he can take care of it. Be nice to the cop writing the ticket. Do not mention that my BIL is a cop, i.e. don't try to talk my way out of it. Then call him and he will call the cop that issued the ticket and most likely the cop will tear up the ticket. In the last 10 years I've had 4 speeding tickets, haven't paid a penny. And you will love this, if you have a tag badge you can park anywhere and not get a ticket. I know it's kind of farked up, but I sure as hell didn't make the rules. And if you could do it, you would.

Do tell...

frak21, I feel bad for him, and your scenario is probably true. My license is set to be suspended on the 22nd of this month for failing to hit 3 child support payments in a row the end of last year. Im in a scraping by situation to some extent myself. But he was straying across the center divider in front of a cop.

The lesson we can all learn here is, prepare gotdamnit! I feel the same for the pot growers who get pulled over with a light out and go to prison for the 150 pounds in the trunk. I sympathize, but what the fark did you expect? Youre straying into the oncoming lane in front of a cop. Drive like a well to do churchgoer in their mid 40s. Spend 1.79 on a damn bulb. Signal well ahead of your turns. Dont stray across center dividers. Do whatever the fuhk it is you gotta do to draw no attention to yourself whatsoever.

I dont judge people on suspended licenses (unless youre a multi DUI offender who hasnt dropped the keys and bottle) but I have a harder time feeling sorry for you when the actions were so easily preventable.

Acting like a biatch isn't going to get him anywhere. A put together person would be thinking of a plan of action the moment they saw the cop's siren. Breaking down is a sign of low intelligence (unless you were a lady, and that was your conniving plan), as well as a sign of weak character.

DirkTheDaring: This one is my favorite of all time:

That is awesome. The last time I was pulled over it was the cop who lost his cool when I calmly told him he was tailgating me (it was night and I didn't know the car on my ass was a cop). My first thought was that he had a dash cam and didn't want anyone to see his over-reaction, cause he just gave my license back to me and told me to be more careful.

CSB:

I've been pulled over 5 times, and only received 2 tickets....and the tickets were taken down to doing 5 MPH over the speed limit even though I was going much faster.

My secret:

Saying "sorry about that" and keeping my words to a minimum.

/Once received a warning even though the cop mentioned something about the radar detector that I had taken down right after I pulled over.



Doesn't always work though. Did that at my last ticket (69 in a 55 on a hick road near Bakersfield by some ridiculously sophisticated radar device that lets them clock you while driving in the opposite direction), still got a ticket and his buddies at the courthouse made it stand at my TBWD. Going for my day in court in March. Now always use a radar detector.

Cop was a robotic douche, and I later found that he caused the CHP a lot of grief for causing a girl permanent spinal cord injury due to improperly extracting her from a crashed car.

Karma, maybe?

Not sure Steve McQueen thing is achievable.

It's achievable, BUT, you have to do motocycle stunts without a helmet, and have the rest of the card filled out.

I can't actually do it, because I have been genetically precluded from an epic beard.

What would your plan be? Run? Pray? Get the gun out of the glove compartment and at least go down fighting? What would you do?

The cop got you, and he just told you that he's charging you for driving on a suspended. You can't afford that, and you're probably looking at jail time. You probably won't be able to drive again (thanks to the Terrible Wrath of DMV) so your job is probably screwed as well. You just found out that your life is essentially over. You're going to be a homeless person. Your dinner will come from a trash can.

Sure you can go all stoneface and sulk. Some people crack under the pressure and melt down. Can you blame them? Laughing at the guy just brings to my mind those jock douchenozzles that keep the Viagra market so strong. People that have probably never faced ruin. People that strut about waiting for their first taste at what it's like to be truly farked.

BTW, I'd like to point out that nothing will get you out of a Driving on Suspended charge. No amount of crying, police connections, or titty. There is simply no way to get out of that.

Once your license came up in the computer as "suspended" you were screwed. Same goes for warrants. I've heard of people escaping DUI's before (Truth! The cop had the passenger (who was sober) take over the wheel) but never a Suspended.

you should just blow BIL so he'll give you a honkin' huge PBA badge to put in your window. then you can drive like a entitled retard all the time, like so many of the PBA emblem people do.

go ahead, blow him. you know you want to.
