Has a Cop ever searched your car on a stop ?

[THE KOD]

A few police cars drive up in front of the church. Dragline calls out to his friend from the church door: "Luke?" Luke looks up and addresses an aside to God: "That's your answer ol' Man? I guess you're a hard case too."

They are cornered and Dragline [like Judas the Betrayer], in exchange for a promise of clemency, reveals where Luke has been hiding - in the church:

Luke? You all right? They got us, boy. They're out there, thicker than flies. Bosses, dogs, sheriffs, more guns than I've ever seen in my life. You ain't got a chance. They caught up with me right after we split up. And they was aimin' to kill ya. But I fixed it. I got 'em to promise if you give up peaceful, they won't whip ya this time...Luke, you gotta listen to me. All ya got to do is give up nice and quiet. Just play cool.
Luke opens up one of the church windows and looks out on the Captain and other sheriffs in an eerie red light reflected from the cherry-tops. Ultimately unbroken and with a cocky, assured but cool smile, he mocks the Captain with the famous film line:

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.
He is tragically shot in the throat and silenced forever by the crack-shooting Boss with no eyes. Dragline supports and carries his mortally-wounded friend to the vengeful bosses, and then hysterically charges toward the killer - he grabs at the man's throat with an iron grip. The reflective glasses that have never left the boss's face topple to the ground. Weakened and sliding in mud, the boss gropes for his glasses. As Luke is put in a vehicle and taken to his sure death at the prison hispital, Dragline encourages him: "You hang on in there Luke. You hang on. There's gonna be some world-shakin' Luke. We gonna send you a postcard." Flooded by a reddish glow, Luke dies in the back seat of the boss' car - his face wears the familiar grin - a sign of the victory of his spirit over death. The tires of the vehicle smash and grind the sunglasses into the mud. In the distance as the car drives away, a stoplight turns from green to red - his spirit leaves his body.

is there anything to police officers that wear the black gloves ? Do you know any ?

Or do you wear the black leather gloves

Ha I have never worn them but yea there is some truth there. I have some stories to tell when we all get together. :00hour

fats

one day your going to get tased if you continue to talk to cops like that.

I think he could have arrested you for giving them permission to search someone's elses truck.

I think its under obstruction.

You sure have alot of drama in your life.

Dude, it was like five or six years ago and while I will agree that there are quite a few more incidents that bear mentioning if I was going to come clean with all my run ins with the law, and the majority of them do seem to be rather comical. Like the time I told the cop that I couldn't take the field sobriety test due to an ankle condition and that I wore corrective shoes and that I also had an astigmatism, that was a hoot. Of course that was close to twenty years ago so yes I have had some drama in my life and to be quite honest with you I wouldn't trade a second of it, even if it did include a tasering.

damn fats.

I would just like to hear what words would come out of your mouth as they were tasering you.

I dont think it would be pretty.

I worry about you having a embolism, or a hemmeroid , or worse.

As I am remembering things my first encounter with a policeman was when I was 16.
I was headed to the store for some milk my mom wanted.

I was driving a chevy impala 287 and I had got in a wreck a few weeks earlier on the left front. I slipped in the snow and hit a pole.

My headlight started to go on and off so I knew I was going to have to get it fixed.

I am driving downtown about 11 pm in a small city where I lived. Cop pulls me over. He comes up to the car and says I have a headlight out.

I said ...no I do not.

He says come look.

I get out and sure enough it was out. I said well I knew about it and I am going to get it fixed.

Cop says... Going to get it fixed .... that son of a bitch has been in a accident.

And with that he kicked the front left side of my
car as hard as he could with a side kick.

As soon as he kicked it the headlight came on .

I said.... Can I leave now officer.

He said no and wrote me a ticket.

That was the start of a long journey of learning about policeman.

 

[cooz3]

Scott..

after he had done the sobriety test and I took the breathalyzer (which i would never advise someone to do even if they had one drink) he had absolutely no probable cause to do anything further. I knew that ...and so i busted his ballz because he busted mine for no reason whatsoever. Screw em'... that being said most cops I deal with are good guys there are a few that have a "complex" and if you get a chance to give it back to them ..well you do..lol

the other thing I see done on those sobriety tests is say the alpahabet backwards ..what in the hell kind of test is that? I bet most people stone sober cannot say the alphabet backwards without pausing...that is another bullsh** test procedure to get you. You go before a jury on that one and most of the jurors are like What??? and you just say , "I ask you ladies and gentlement of the jury right here right now say the alphabet backwards fluently..right now." And I guarantee you at least half of them cannot do it..

you know the funny thing is I am actually a bit surprised myself that I haven't been tasered now that I think of it. Then again, "tasering' didn't really become "popular" until just shortly before the Rodney King debacle, at which point it hit somewhat of a downturn, and is really just becoming fashionable again here in the last few years. Kind of like bell-bottom cuffs and hip hugger pants. The window of popularity for it in my lifetime has been somewhat small but I have alway been kind of lucky that way. I remember when they changed the drinking age in Wisconsin to 21 and I was "grandfathered" in and would head up to some dump right over the border, down the street from the brat stop off of 94N, can't remember the name, yea............good times.

 

[lewehands]

Only thing about not taking the breath test is in most states you sign a paper at the license branch stating that if you refuse a breath test your license gets suspended for 1 year automatically. The pbt (portable one) is not admisable in court in Indiana.

Now Indiana has a law that if one refuses and the officer has enough probable cause to believe one has been drinking the officer can get a warrant for the drivers blood sample and you cant refuse that. (it has to be done within 3 hours from the stop)

What to do when pulled overStory Highlights
Six tips when cops pull you over so pain is not more than a ticket

(AOL Autos) -- There are few things more nerve-wracking, or more anxiety-producing for even the most law-abiding driver, than seeing the flashing red and blue lights of a police car in your rear-view mirror.

It doesn't always have to be a harrowing experience, even if you know that you were driving well over the speed limit, or that your registration is expired, or heaven forbid, you've had a few too many cocktails and are behind the wheel anyway.

There are a few simple rules to follow to make sure the experience doesn't have to be any more unpleasant than it already is -- considering that it's likely you will come away with a fat ticket.

We sought the advice of a former Virginia State Trooper, now retired and working happily at an intelligence analyst job for a federal agency in Washington, D.C. He asked that we not use his real name, "because I don't want people to think I'm trying to draw attention to myself," he said.

He chose a colorful alias, asking that we just refer to him as Trooper Tom. Here are his six tips.

Pull over in a safe area

First of all, the most important rule to follow is to pull over in a safe area, as soon as it is reasonable and safe to do so. "Don't pull over in a place that is going to put you or the officer in danger," says Police Officer Tom -- like a narrow left-hand-lane shoulder on a highway. "If you do that, the officer is not going to get out and risk being hit -- he's going to get on the loudspeaker and tell you to move over to the right shoulder, and then you have to negotiate traffic to try to cross the highway. That can be aggravating, and you don't want to lock yourself into a ticket by making the officer mad," he says.

Don't coast

Secondly, don't coast for several blocks before pulling over. "If you just keep coasting, the cop is going to think, 'What is this guy doing?' He may think you're stalling because you're trying to stash something," warns the police officer. "If you pass a few safe places to pull over, the officer is definitely going to think you're up to something, and that raises suspicion."

Keep the engine running

Surprisingly, Police Officer Tom also advises you not to turn off your engine, especially if you're driving an old beater that's not reliable. "I generally didn't like the citizen to turn off his engine, because if it's an older car, it might not start again, and then you're in a situation where you have to wait for the guy to call a buddy or call a wrecker, and he's mad because you stopped him -- I'd just as soon not have to negotiate all that," says the police officer.

Keep your hands on the wheel

Keep your hands on the wheel as the trooper or officer approaches your vehicle. "That's how people kill you -- with their hands," muses Police Officer Tom. "They can reach for a weapon or the gear shift, which can turn the car into a weapon. We always focus on the driver's hands, and if they're not on the wheel, we're immediately more apprehensive, and that doesn't help your situation if you're the driver."

Stay in the car

You should always stay in the car. "I didn't want anyone out of the car, ever," says Police Officer Tom emphatically. "If they get out of the car, I'm thinking they have something to be afraid of, like they're wanted, or intoxicated, and in either case, that's a safety issue for the officer," warns the police officer.

"I don't care if you're the baddest officer there is, there's always someone out there who's badder than you, and if we can keep them inside the car, that's the best way to keep from being injured. If they're inside the car, they can't fight you and maybe grapple for your gun and shoot you."

Be careful what you say

Being polite to the officer isn't necessarily a pre-requisite, concedes Tom. "I never demanded respect," the police officer insists. "I only didn't want disrespect. If you want to be rude and yell and complain and say you're going to file a complaint against me, that's fine, I heard that all the time -- just don't get physical. And don't use curse words in an aggressive way, because in Virginia, anyway, that can get you arrested for disorderly conduct."

The police officer details some of his more exciting or amusing traffic stops -- that is, when people did not take the advice he shared above, and paid the price.

Once, he pulled a woman over on the highway for violating the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) law. In Virginia, during morning and evening rush hours, vehicles traveling in the left-hand of some highways near Washington, D.C. are required to have more than one occupant. The ordinance is aimed at cutting down congestion by encouraging more drivers to car pool.

"She got out of the car and she was immediately extremely irritated," recalls the police officer in his Tennessee-by-way-of-Virginia accent. "I guess she was en route to a job interview. Now, I can put up with a lot of static, so it takes a lot to get me excited over an HOV ticket, but she was is in my face immediately, and she starts cussing and complaining, and she's actually making the process take longer because she won't let me write the ticket. I asked her to get back in her car, and she did, but in 15 seconds, she came roaring out again.

"This happened several times, and her anger kept escalating, and she kept yelling and cussing," continues Police Officer Tom with a wry laugh. "So finally, I had to roll my window up while she was yelling at me, just so I could finish writing the ticket. Well, I guess she didn't like that because she yanked my door open and said, 'Don't you ignore me, you m------- f------!' Well, that was it, she crossed the line there, so I cuffed her and arrested her for disorderly conduct and took her in."

The bottom line is that the original HOV violation was just a $50 fine, but the disorderly conduct conviction would have given her a criminal record, explains the police officer.

"And she had a job with the federal government, so a criminal conviction would have meant losing her security clearance, and therefore her job. So during negotiations between her attorney and the commonwealth prosecutor, she eventually paid a $2,500 fine in exchange for lowering the charge to a careless driving violation. So that turned out to be a pretty expensive outburst on her part."

One serious but amusing tale involved a driver who was "power-braking" his pick up truck outside a raucous Springfield, Virginia, bar at 3:00 a.m. He was extravagantly spinning and screeching his tires "and just filling the air with blue smoke and burning rubber," recalls the police officer.

"And he's doing it right in front of me at a traffic light. So I pulled him over, and he was clearly intoxicated, but he wasn't belligerent or anything -- he was a nice guy, an 'ol' country boy. But he failed every field-sobriety test I gave him."

This included a breathalyzer test, which revealed that he had a .18 blood alcohol level, more than double the legal limit for driving.

But the guy kept insisting that he be allowed to perform "his own test" which he claimed would prove he was not drunk. So finally, just out of curiosity, the police officer acquiesced -- with no guarantees.

"So the guy takes off running, and all of a sudden he goes into this cartwheel/back flip, with his cowboy boots on, and his legs go counter-clockwise, and he lands it, perfectly, in his cowboy boots, like he was a gymnast at the Olympics or something." I pulled out my taser and tased him
between his nuts. He flopped like a fish and his boots came off.

[DR STRANGELOVE]

here is how to piss a cop off and prob. get away with it.

I was heading to R.I. and was pulled over by a State Trooper for absolutely nothing. At least in my opinion. He said something about not using my directional or something if I remember correctly. Anyways, Im stone sober completely cognizant and he asks me to get out of my vehicle. I ask him why? respectfully.. he says, "because I asked you to." Ah ok. So I said I would rather not. He then pulls the "Have you been drinking?" or under the influence of drugs etc. bullstuff... so I respond by saying "No sir." he then says I am ordering you out the vehicle..blah blah blah. does the whole sobriety test ..breathalyzer etc. Warrant check..comes up with Zilch... he then asks me If he can check my vehicle? I pause...then look at him and say..."Yes you can check my car..inside only. I dont want you going in my trunk though." he then looks at me absolutely bullshi*. Why cant i go in your trunk?" I said, "because I dont want you to and you need a warrant to do that."...

Needless to say the Cop was PISSED beyond belief. It was an interesting interaction to say the least.

Moral of story...Always be aware that in the case of a CONSENTING SEARCH you can limit the search. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO.

I loved reading the "search" section of my criminal procedure law school text. Interesting cases!!

"Just drive down that road, until you get blown up"
- General George Patton, about reconnaissance troops


Its hard to find a man with some balls to do reconnaissance. Beebs was such a man. While under my command I sent him into the bowls
of hell on numerous occasions. Beebs never let me down. Not once. Beebs would always always be on the front tank, dirt flying, bullets winging,
and there would be Beebs riding without his helmet , daring death to enter his soul.

I had dinner with Beebs one time and I asked him . Beebs whats your secret for such courage. Beebs answered "Courage sir is one breath away from morbid fear."
