Needing input again....

So on Friday night, I was coming home from a wedding with 3 friends, and a sheriff's deputy pulled me over about 5 miles from the reception hall. The crime...speeding. Apparently he clocked me going 51 in a 35. Here's the conversation

um...the Dress...men are typical...had that been me, he woulda given me a breathilizer and stuck his hand up my ass for good measure..

Lol...he seemed very polite. Maybe he'd have skipped the hand up the ass.

Maybe both hands...

Although I got pulled over coming home from work at 2 AM about a month ago... 51 in a 40... and he just let me go. Similar situation. Could've been more of the same... looking for that DUI who clearly wasn't me. My record is also clean... however I did know that the car was registered to me. :-)

I knew the car was registered to one of my parents, but I couldn't tell you which one...It's just not something I learned. Although now I'll probably remember. :)

Glad you got away without a ticket!

Ok, just my two cents worth...

It really just depends on the jurisdiction and the officer you come in contact with. From the guys I have worked with it really boils down on how you come across to them. Being honest with them and not being standoffish is definitely going to help you out. Having them be in a good mood that day is always a plus too. Although, if you get stuck in an area where they are doing a zero-tolerance type of thing, then you are pretty much SOL; we have a couple of those right not because of a couple of fatal accidents.

Although carrying the proper creds will usually help you out all the time.

The proper creds being???

I was honest and very pleasant (when am I not?)

All in all, I was lucky!

creds being department / agency ID and shield / badge
