Dude, I wanna take that class.

That'd be hot to show off. Sit by a road and point to cars... "59mph, 47mph, 62mph, 209mph- there goes harry.... 43mph, etc."

lol! word.

that is an insane cop story. i have never been pulled over for the short year and a half I have been driving for, knock on wood. but i agree it sounds like there are cops out there who are just assholes, and some that are really nice, and some of those assholes probably target people like us and hte guy with the mercedes because (not to sound arrogant) but we drive nicer, flashier cars. I just hope that the day i get pulled over is the day the nice cops are out.

Some people can't become a cop without getting all full of themselves! But some are very cool like the one yesterday that ended my loud stupid dog barking problem *whew*

yes AND cops need to be licenses to use radar guns. Many cops are not licensed in the use of radar guns. My friend fought and won his case, 75 in 35, because the cop was not licensed for using radar guns.

Seriously? Nice! But the precinct lets them take a radar gun out when their not licensed?

the officer has to go through training regularly to keep his license. if the officer becomes lazy/ the precinct doesnt have the time to give the officer off to get his training, his license will expire. The precincts will take the chance that the 1 person will ask the cop is he is licensed. most people just pay tickets. the police can afford to lose one ticket in like 50.

never gotten a ticket, On my Mustang I had a warning ticket for the followings:

Driving at a Speed that could constitute a hazard
Driving in a manner that might impede Traffic
Other: Tag Cover

Those were all BS, and in all honesty, all I did was fishtaill out of the school's parking lot (and their was no traffic)

On my bimmer, all I have had was a warning ticket for my brake light being out, lol and a verbal warning for my tag cover and driving at a speed that could constitute a hazard

Yes, some of them are backwards. However, I'm of the opinion that if you hate the police, why do you get the right to call them when you need them? Sounds like a double standard to me.
