pulled ova again...........
-
went out tonite around 11:45 to kill sometime, bored. just drove around 13th, 25th, main, and 32nd. so heading home i turn onto the sidestreet that leads to my appt complex. get on it a lil over 1/4 throttle, i guess just enuff to sound like i was full throttle to anyone that dont know any better.
turn onto the other main st that my appt complex is off of and next thing i see is headlights comin up behind, fast. few secs go by and i notice its a cop. so i pull into my parking lot and park. pulls up behind and turns the lights on.
walks up and i am trying to find my regis. and ins card, which i didnt find either of them. ask for my liscense, regis, and ins. give him my lis. and tell him i cant find my other 2.
so then he proceeds to pull his lil flashlight out and put it in my eyes and tells me to spit out my gum. at this point i am thinking, i bet he thinks i have been drinking. so i take it out. then he tells me to follow his finger. so i purpose have my eyes all over the place. he just has it all the way to my left not moving it. then i look at him and he tells me to keep my eyes on his finger. i tell him to move it so i can follow it. he says " so how much have u had to drink tonite?" WHAT......... i get aggitated and tell him a bunch of diet coke. he says, dont get upset im just doin my job. i tell him, " i have not had any alcohol tonite, none" he looks confused and walks back to his car with my liscense.by this time another cop has pulled up. and i hear them talking. only thing i over heard was, loud exhaust and the other cop saying " oh brian i know him"
ok, no cop here knows me.
then i see him walking up. he puts my liscense in my view and says have a good night.
WTF......... so did he think i was drunk cuz he heard my car? or did he pull me over cuz i had a loud exhaust?sorry but this is the 3rd time i have been pulled over since i have been here. i havent been pulled over that many times in my entire life. i dont know what that tells u. but it tells me that ur cops have no other crime in fargo to attend to, so they are left with picking on cars. if there is something else please tell me so i can understand
p.s. please dont take this as... cops suck...... or anything of that nature

Ya people get pulled over a lot up here for small petty reasons, I recently had to attend a defensive driving course for a drag racing ticket I got like 6 months ago and the cop who instructed it believe it or not was a really nice guy....He explained that cars with loud exhaust stereos neons illegal tint no front plate etc....r being pulled over to crack down on drunk driving and seatbelt laws....which is not necessarily a bad idea but it does get annoying.
-
hell i was driving around for a damn week with open headers and never even got harrased once lol......i guess the cops just arent diggin the slowmaros up here huh lol......just playing brian.....lucky bastard

yeah ive gotten pulled over 3 times because of my exhaust. they probably wanted to see if i was drunk. yeah it can be annoying.
-
i appreciate that they are starting to pull people over more often ( in hopes of finding warrants, dui, etc), i just wish they would start pulling everyone over (ie soccer moms and suv'sgoing 50 down 13th). however, they seem to just habitually ignore anyone that appears to be a "model citizen," as opposed to some of us that opt for performance over reliability.
-
Very true it seems to be that they always go for cars that are either fast or appear to be fast.....
-
hey i guess there doin there job to an extent. but if i didnt do anything while driving to make myself appear to be driving drunk, why do they still start giving u sobriety test. i was gonna just act drunk for a bit and fail on purpose, but once i seen that this guy really thought i had been drinking pissed me off.
im just getting irritated of gettin pulled. i have only been here 5 months. ive had a liscense for 7 years and have only been pulled 5 times. do the math
edit: glad to see that im not the only one

Want to see bullshit, go to grand forks. I got pulled over in GF when I still lived there and the cop took out a tape measure and measured the distance betweeen my sideskirt and the ground on my eclipse, then proceeded to tell me that I was just 1/2 inch from being too low. He fed me bullshit for damn near 45 minutes about my exhaust, lowered car, taillights, tint, etc... Yea, North Dakota as a whole has too many cops with too much time on their hands, but GF is the worst.

I was pulled over nine times in a two month period without a single ticket issued. I mean we are talking about everything from "accelerating briskly" to "suspicious behavior" to "questionable usage of turn signal??" (Thats right, questionable usage of turn signal!) My father called the police station and kindly asked the man on the other end if filing a lawsuit against the fargo pd for harrassment would get their attention(this is not the first time myself/father have been upset with the police). The man on the other end told him/us that all of these "so called insidences of harrassment" would be on file and each one would have a legitimate reason for a trafffic stop. He looked up my fathers liscence and plate and said, "everything looks in order" and hung up the phone. I havent been pulled over in about eight months now...

^lol I got pulled over often driving my old POS's. Haven't been pulled over in the subies (knock on wood) yet. Used to drive a 90 buick century and a 82 chevy luv and got pulled over at least once a month it seemed for something stupid. From everything to "I thought you were swerving a bit back there" to "there's a little bit of white coming out of your taillights, you should get that fixed, have you been drinking tonight?" (had a hairline, if that, crack in my taillight at the time) I figure all the times were just excuses to see if I'd been drinking or whatever, but it still pisses a guy off. One time a cop made me and my wife sit in the back of his squad car while he searched our car. Said our plates didn't show up on the "system." Oh, and when he found nothing but some loose change and some old dried up Mcdonalds fries under the seats and in the trunk he puts the plates (supposidly) back into the "system" and it comes up this time. And we both have clean driving records. Guess it just depends how bored they are, what the weather's like, and how much they want to stretch the use of the phrase "probable cause." Now I'll shut the hell up....

oh and to anyone that has a had cop just dive into your trunk without asking is in violation of your rights...you need a search warrant to touch the inside of the trunk/rear cargo area(station wagon)...just keep that in mind next time a cop just goes in your trunk without asking

^or glove box?

I just got a parking in fire lane ticket for parking in a loading-unloading zone for 7 minutes, my girlfriend lives on 3rd floor, you try to luge heavy bags up, take a piss and make it back down. This was in Jamestown.

yeah, this does seem to be a problem around here, I ussually try to nicley say something about how happy I am that all the real crimes have been solved and they have time to enforce the smaller ones. ussually pisses them off, but I get ticked at them wasteing my time for stops like this, I've been pulled over for "running a yellow light" cause it turned yellow when I was in it, "accelerating too fast" and my favorite "stopping at a yield sign" and on countless occassions the officer has asked me if the car belonged to me or if it was stolen. so if anyone knows who in ND has the plates that say "stolen" let them know I want them so the next time the cop asks me if I stole my own car I can tell him "yes officer! and you know it took me forever to find a car with these plates on it!"
but yes, it is really annoying, whenever I drive something else I dont' even get looked at even when speeding, hense this is a big reason I'm looking for another car to drive around, less harrassment.
