When I was a teenager I was driving through a parking lot at night and it was empty and wet from the sprinklers, so I started doing fish tales in my car and the police were right there. They blocked us in and drew their guns because they thought we had just robbed the donut shop that was still open in the complex !!!
Talk about an adrenalin rush !!! My friend in the front seat was slow to show his hands and they were threatening that they would shoot !!! They got us out and we explained to them that I was goofing off and they let us go.

When I was visiting Australia, I was pulled over by a cop for an offense that I was not aware of.
I was on an important call to the United States on my cell phone and politely asked the Officer if he could wait just a moment until I could give him my full attention. He was getting redder and more agitated by the second, so I quickly ended my call and asked why he had pulled me over...
Imagine my surprise when he advised me that it was an offence to talk on a cell phone while driving in the state of Victoria and that it was punishable with a heavy fine!
I was polite, but asked him why was it called a mobile phone if you could only use it while you were stopped? This didn't help the situation but I think he could see that I was genuinely flabbergasted...
When I explained that I was from California, he let me go with a warning that he would throw the book at me if he caught me again!
As you may be aware - it's now illegal in California too!

Well, I had just picked up my girlfriend from work, a local tavern, it was 2:30AM. We were heading So. on Lakewood Blvd toward Long Beach, Ca. She said she was VERY tired after a hard night of serving customers, and decided to lay her head down in my lap during the trip to her apt. (seat belts were optional in those days)
Suddenly, cop lights were on and I was pulled over. The cop said he was sure she was engaging in some sort of illegal or immoral activity, but could see she was asleep, so he was starting to write a ticket for speeding, (which was B.S.) when he got a call to go to a robbery or something important, so I go to go home and engage in immoral behavior without a ticket.

I suppose the entire list would be lenghthy, but here is one for the records.
I was driving down the 2 Freeway in Glendale California at about 85 MPH in the fast lane listening to my stereo cranked up at about mach 3. Suddenly I saw my off ramp for the 134 headeing to Glendale. Glancing in my rearview, I saw no one, and veered across three lanes while braking for the decending curve ahead. I thought I saw something in my right mirror, and then looked behind me in the regular mirror, but all I could see was a cloud of dust between me and the freeway I had just exited. As I was pulling into the traffic on the 134 I saw a CHP Motor Officer speeding towards me from behind with his lights and siren on. I pulled over to the right and he cut around me and blocked my car. He exited his motorcycle and threw his hemet to the ground. As I rolled the window down he began a ditribe about what an idiot I was and that I had almost killed him. It seems he was in my blind spot on the freeway clocking me for a speeding citation when I veered to the right and cut him off. He had to turn hard right and skidded into the dirt berm and finally regained control. Not only did I get a tongue lashing, but I got a ticket for speeding, illegal lane change and endangering the life of an officer. I paid a huge fine, had to go to traffic school and had my license suspended for six months. I actually thought he was going to shoot me dead on the side of the road.

I got pulled over in a friends car, and the registration and insurance card were nowhere to be found. We were out laying by the pool and i offered to go get some fast food. I just put some flip flops on and went in my bikini. I ended up getting arrested and taken to the local police station in my swimming suit on suspicion of vehicle theft....
-I think it was all just a big joke to the police!
jerks

Never been stopped, I operate my vehicle in a competent professional manner, and I guess my 69 Vdub original beetle doesn't attract much cop attention!
