Ironically,On the way home last night from a concert with 3 others in my Vehicle.I blew by a cop doing 61 in a 50.(right as I peaked a hill he was there,I couldn't see him).He jumped right out and followed.I knew I was getting pulled over so I put on my blinker to let him know I was turning into a side street off the main road,turned on my interior lights,windows down and all my propers in my hand up on the wheel,music down(Pat Benetars Hell is for Children might I add).When he arrived I was polite,I asked him how much over speed limit I was and didn't deny it.I was doing wrong and I was willing to except my responsibility here. He gave me a warning and told me to have a wonderful evening.We both respected each other and everyone just went on with there evening.Nice guy. Point is if I was a dick I guarantee I get a ticket.
Well played Sir
You guys must have a knack for getting off easy. My last speeding ticket (almost 20 years ago) went like this:
I was doing 60 in a 55 zone. As I approached the cop car I just kept going but noticed the officer turned on his overhead light before I even reached him and I was pulled over. Figuring most people do 5 over the limit, I asked why I was being pulled over. He said I was doing 65 in a 55 (I was not). I asked, "How did you determine that?" I was respectful and courteous. He said, "It was a visual". I went to court to fight it and told the judge I was told "It was a visual". The cop lied and said, "I have never said that in my life". Must be the long hair and the van, right? Oh well.
Another time, I was driving the speed limit on a major bay area road and was pulled over. I asked what I had done wrong. I was respectful and polite. The officer said I was drinking beer. I was not. I handed him my can of soda. He told me to wait in the car and went to talk on his radio. I was detained for a half an hour. Must have been the long hair, right? Oh well.
Another time I was with a friend who was trying to calm me down after some rough events in my life at the time. We were up on Twin Peaks in San Francisco talking and looking out over the city at night. Two cops came up to my car and hauled us out and threw us in the back of the squad car and began to question us harshly. We were respectful and polite. They continued to harass us severely and detained us for about an hour. Must have been the long hair and suspicion of being queer, right?
Nicely played?
Brian were you wearing Lennon glasses and did you smell of patchouli oil and sage? lol And yes it probably was the hair.
No, I've never worn Lennon glasses or beads and have never been into fragrant oils. In fact, I never liked being called a "hippie". It was all about the music for me. All my musician friends and the musicians I was into had long hair so for me it was about wanting to relate to the music scene. My mother used to cut my hair short and I hated it so I was a bit rebellious that way when I get well into my teens but I've never been a scenester.
In any case, I've never given cause for nor deserved the bad treatment I've received from cops. I don't understand why someone should be treated poorly simply because of the way they look, the color of their skin, etc. I guess many cops don't see it that way.
We'd probably get out of a lot tickets if we cut our hair really short and grew a mustache.

I got pulled over once and was super nice and repsectful.62in a 55.
still got a ticket. frickin pig.
Kind of fucked that you're calling him a pig because you got pulled over for speeding.
Being nice and respectful is very sweet and admirable and all - perhaps expected? - but it doesn't get you or me or Joe Schmo a pass for whatever the infraction is.

Lighten up.
Light as a cotton ball here, Smelly. Thanks for the kind clarification.

Unless you get pulled over by a woman.If this happens undo a button on your shirt and go All man cleavage on her.If that dosent work try taking out a dollar bill and ask her if she knows your friend George Washington?

Usually a good sense of humor and a laughing cop goes a long way.But it's all in the delivery and timing. That said I try to avoid the last 2,but if I'm driving around with my family it impossible not to have a car full of stunning woman!

The visual I always had of the RR clan driving around was one that featured a bunch of the Hills Have Eyes people in a multi-toned '74 Impala- all crammed in there rocking and rolling.

And if you were a black dick...wait, that doesn't sound right. I mean if you were black and acted like a dick then you probably get more than a ticket.

Something similar happened to me on Southern Blvd (this was near the airport, Gun Club area) after leaving Sunfest Music Festival '08. I was speeding, not realizing I driving 56 in 45 in this particular section. The officers first words were was I drinking tonight, I said no I don't drink officer. He then asked are you coming from Sunfest I said yes officer....well he said you were 12 miles over the speed limit and that's a $245 ticket. I said officer I had no idea the speed here was 45 I thought it was 55 my fault.
Surprisingly, he gave me a warning written....the stop was over in less than 10 minutes. Respect went both ways, I think he liked that I appeared that I didn't and wasn't drinking (now if he had asked if I had been smoking, that's another story) coming from our big Palm Beach start of the summer concert. Naturally I was pleased with the whole thing which made me smile that I didn't have to give up that much cash.

Hey... think of the cash you save on toothpaste! It's not all that bad.
This morning I saw the Family and friends of Bland protesting,Marching and Chanting "No Justice,no peace".And they want the officer Fired and Charges brought up. This is what I was talking about in the title.Where was this case about race? Where was the civil rights violation? Where was the violence against Bland ,other then her own hand? I'm not seeing it.Not because I'm white and don't understand,but because I have common sense and this has the makings of a trumped up situation.

It's nonsense.
And it's ridiculous that this family is getting urged on by some that have an axe to grind... but nowhere to wield it- this is the closest thing there is right now in the mainstream media depicting the racial divide in America.
So It's conclusive that she hung herself that she actually did it ..ok then case closed she was demented and decided to kill herself over a traffic violation ....all cases should be so easy to figure out no police abuse here ok ....
Why are some of you so pro defendant and anti police? You guys seem to dismiss the facts and hold onto some us Against the establishment kinda vibe. Jose,unless the cops are invisible and snuck into a closed jail cell in front of many witnesses and cameras then she did this.No Magic bullet here.
Do you not see the race card get stroked here when there is ZERO to back it up.This is part of the divide,not part of what brings folks together.
Just like the Brown case.Many fought tooth and nail,propping up that thug criminal and in the end facts and evidence proved he was in the wrong.But some of you still wouldn't except that finding. Again nothing improper here,sick woman died in a moment of weakness.Tragic,yes but illegal no.
So It's conclusive that she hung herself that she actually did it ..ok then case closed she was demented and decided to kill herself over a traffic violation ....all cases should be so easy to figure out no police abuse here ok ....
(Sarcasm noted).
And it would be about race because the whole police/race issue would likely be what the cops murdered her over (to avoid being accused of it, given the arrest video). That's what I think is going on. That woman did not kill herself. I don't believe it for a second.

Most of you would think the video is doctored anyway.

Being nice and respectful is very sweet and admirable and all - perhaps expected? - but it doesn't get you or me or Joe Schmo a pass for whatever the infraction is.
