Crazy Police Encounters V2

I was reading the previous thread and found it very interesting, so I figured I'd start up another one.
Share your craziest police stories (getting pulled over and such) with us. I'm interested to see more.

Mine has to be when this cop went by us and my friend said "That's not a cop, that's a rent-a-cop." She stopped, reversed, and said "Do you two live here?"
We said no, and she told his girlfriend to bring us inside or she'd arrest us for trespassing (which she couldn't. We had every right to be on that property.)

my first, and thus far(lets hope it stays at 1) encounter with cops is a week ago or so, when me, my dad, m sister, and younger brother were shooting in the yard. course we were doing everything legally, neighbor's a twit, called the cops, they came, checked us out, basically told us to have a nice day, and went on there merry way.

This one time, I was goin 25 in a 45. Stupid cop pulled me over. I have no clue what he was thinking.

Later on I got stuck on 16 hours community service. I worked half an hour and the cop signed me off for all 16, purposefully!

Hmmm, I don't think I have ever had a crazy encounter with the police.

When my friends and I are being hella dumb for fun and commit peccadilloes and pranks around town we are not stupid enough to get caught or have a run-in with da po po.

... My brother on the other hand... =/

One time I got pulled over while running.

I was going for an early morning run (at about 5, so it was all dark), and my usual path was obstructed by construction or something. Too dark to know what was going on, but the path was CLEARLY blocked by cones, temporary fences, etc. I didn't feel like changing my route, so I hopped one of the orange plastic fences and continued on my way, 'till I got pulled over, while on foot. The cop got out of his car and chewed me out. He was really pissed, but luckily, he let me go off with a warning.

If you've just done something small, (such as entering a blocked off area, like I did) the easiest way to avoid trouble with the police is to be polite and respectful, and most of all, to agree with them and admit that you're wrong. If you do that, they're much less likely to reprimand you than if you act like a smartass or deny you're doing anything wrong.

I was arrested after being pulled over for a broken tail light.

First the inept female-cop then read the wrong date on my insurance and wrote me a ticket for no proof of insurance.
Then she scanned my plates. She says, "ughh...there's a warrant for your arrest."

Im liek, "oreally? See if it's from Tipton, MO."
"yea, it is."
"yea, tell them they effffed up their court records and that warrant's not valid anymoar."
"ok...well try that."

15 minutes later:

"yea, they said it's still good."
"well, officer you think we could swing by the gas station on our way to jail? I'm jonesin' for some nicotine and this situation isn't helping."

"yea, uhhmmm, we don't do that."

*slaps on the cuffs*
*drives me to jail*

*sits there for 10 hours*

<_______<

o.O wow

ok when I was 6 I was in the car with my mom, my bro (7) was in the front seat and he was jumping up and down so a cop pulled us over and gave my mom a ticket, my bro was crying when we got home, what am I implying you ask? figure it out.

This is an excellent word that should be used more often by everyone.



Anyways, I've never had an encounter with a cop, but I do know that, if it's anything at all serious, you don't talk to them. You don't say a word. Until you've got a lawyer. It doesn't matter if you're innocent or guilty. It doesn't matter if you've got 50 witnesses and 12 different film recordings of where you were, you don't talk until you've got a lawyer.

If you're a witness then it's very different, but if you're a suspect then you stay mute until you've got legal council, no matter what. Never. Say. Anything.

Hard to think of any way to put more emphasis on it than that.

Also keep in mind that the police do have limits on what they can and cannot ask you to do/do to you, check your local laws and find out what those limits are, just so that they don't abuse their power.

Why the hell were you doing 25 in a 45. Blocks traffic, increases risk of an accident for both you and others. Is annoying as hell. etc

There is such a thing as a citizen arrest.

This is true, but if she had, in fact, arrested them for trespassing when they were on land that they had been invited onto then she would've been in severe trouble, since that's not against the law.

I was called upon due to my accent, of being an illegal immigrant. It was all straightened out, and I flipped off the hick that did it. I hate when people waiste my time.

A few months ago, I was driving home from my aunt's house along a deserted road that practically no one used. I was going well over the speed limit, too, so I wasn't surprised when I was pulled over. Since I was expecting the cop to get out and approach my truck, I went through the whole process of pulling out my license and digging for my registration papers.

He didn't. Instead, he hopped out, pulled out his gun, and ordered me to step out of the vehicle. Not wanting to be disobedient, I did what I was told, though I did kind of demand to know what was going on. He told me to be quiet (though it was more of a "shut the ♥♥♥♥ up") and slammed me against the hood before radioing in for backup. When they arrived, they searched my truck for anything suspicious; unsurprisingly, they found nothing.

Regardless, they slapped me in cuffs, went through the whole "you have the right to remain silent" bull♥♥♥♥, threw me in the back of a cruiser, and carted me off to the station where I was held for the rest of the night while they did some scans and talked about how much they hate Obama.

Several hours later, they let me go. Apparently, I wasn't who they were looking for. I hopped in my truck, cranked it up, and drove home.

The summer before last (I think when I was 17), I was driving with a few friends, in a van that only had two seats (it was one of those industrail ones that painters normally use), and then we got pulled over.

I was eating pizza, and the cop comes on my side, shines the light in my eyes as I'm eating the pizza, and asks me if I'm drunk. I wasn't even close (and actually I was with a bunch of friends from Youth Group), haha. They just shone lights in all of our eyes, and asked questions, and let us go on our way.

Nothing too bad, but I lawled.

There was a cop in one of the central States while we were driving across the country that was following us with just his light on without his siren, and my dad didn't see the light because it was bright out. After a couple miles the policeman turned his siren on and we pulled over. He just checked up on the car and apologized for forgetting to turn his siren on, and let us on our way.

One time, I was waiting for my friend in his car. Some cop thinks I'm stealing the car because it was in a pretty big parking lot, the door was unlocked, and I clearly didn't have a licsense. So, here's the cop not believing me when I tell him I'm waiting on a friend who owns the car. He's about to throw me in his car when my friend comes out, a pure WTF expression on his face. He tells the cop what's going on, the cop apologizes, and drives off.

This summer, a friend and myself thought it would be funny to break into summer school, sit down in a class, and see how long we could stay before getting noticed. So after going through two hours of an algebra class.

The only reason we were able to pass was because we both had backpacks and looked like students. We thought the whole thing to be funny, mainly due to the fact we were under the influence, then we head and walk out of the front office. The security tells us to stop and we say f*** off. What is a security guard going to do to me anyway right? Well, wrong, she contacted the campus police officer. About 30 seconds later, I look over my shoulder and realize I am about to be tackled by a police officer. After being taken to the ground, the cop ordered me to stop resisting, even though I wasn't moving, and slapped cuffs on my wrist. He then had to take off the cuffs in order to get my backpack off, when he took them off I started to stretch out my arms, and the police officer thought I was reaching for his gun, so he slams his fist into my chest and rips off my backpack. Literally, he ripped the strap off in order to get it off. Once I was handcuffed in front of the school he did the routine search. After not finding anything on my person he decided to go through my backpack.

After a few seconds of pulling out a spare set of clothes I had, he discovered my stash. I had multiple prescription bottles, all named out to other people, a small baggie of weed, a piece, a socket caked with resin, shrooms, four pills of ecstasy, and a lighter (illegal for a minor to have a lighter). So he pulls me into the school office, undoes the handcuffs and sits me down. I go in my backpack and get my sprite, and start drinking it, expecting to go off to juvenile hall. I already have multiple drug related offenses on my record.

After all of the hostility, and found contraband, the cop gave me all of my stuff back, told me to be careful and not get caught again and drove me and my friend a few miles across town when we asked him to jokingly

Definitely my weirdest experience with police.

I got arrested when I was 12, for theft.
It was a "blue" magazine, I was sat in the interview room when suddenly my Dad turned up.

My my.. he wasn't happy.

I was in the parking lot of a grocery store when I saw a cart in the middle of a lane. I figured I'd save someone the trouble and push it over to the curb. The closest car to the shopping card was about fifteen feet away. A police officer starts shouting out of the megaphone, but we couldn't understand. My friend shouted "we can't understand you, your megaphones broken!".

The cop drives over, starts demanding ID from my two friends and I, yells at us saying we could have severely damaged a car if that shopping cart had hit it, and goes on and on about how our pranks weren't funny and if we did it again we'd be in big trouble. I was fifteen, and in private school at the time--my school didn't supply student IDs. He thought I was lying to him about who I was and insisted that there was no way I wouldn't have a photo ID on me. Eventually, another officer who knows me personally comes over to ask what's going on. The officer that was getting on our case went on to say about how much trouble we were causing and how we were pulling pranks and I was refusing to show ID.

The officer that knew me personally said he knew I was a good kid and that the other officer should leave me alone. Then proceeded to ask if I was okay and how I was doing.

That was awkward, and embarrassing. The reason? The officer I knew personally had taught the D.A.R.E program at my elementary school, and also happened to be with the EMT when I attempted suicide earlier in the year. Needless to say, being asked how I was doing psychologically in front of my two friends was a tad awkward.

A hot female cop pulled me over. I was speechless. I didn't believe they actually existed.
