What's the most ridiculous thing you got pulled over for by the police?

Question

Hi. This isn't really a question, but i wanna see how far will cops go to pull you over.

I'll start out by saying I got pulled over for having tinted windows. He only gave me a warning , but, its crazy, I get pulled over for this and there are many "soccer moms" with their huge SUV's and minivans, and they never get pulled over for speeding, reckless driving, etc. In Chicagoland, I find those minivans and SUV's the worst drivers.

Answer 1

ACCELERATING TO FAST.!?! I was waiting to pull out of a convienence store for about 10 mins with no luck in the traffic letting up. So when I got a small break to pull out I stopped the gas BUT DID NOT SPIN MY TIRES, Not even a squeak! And the cop that was in the bank parking lot across from me, been there the whole time watching me, hit his lights and pulled me over and gave me a ticket for "Accelerating to fast"???? I asked if it spun my tires and he said no. I just took off to fast. But the judge out the ticket when he read it and asked if i had fishtailed or spun my tires.Tole the cop that this was a waste of his time and mine for taking off work for " This Crap".

Answer 2

I got pulled over because some kid jumped on the hood of my car as I was driving down the road. I was already in 2nd gear when he did it. All the officer saw was me pulling over to get him off my car. I got a ticket for careless driving and the kid, who was a juvenile delinquent anyways, got away with a stern warning.

The judge believed my story though and said that I was vicitim of circumstance and threw my ticket out.

Funny thing is, that same cop no longer is a cop because he was such a jerk to everyone and the mayor got rid of him.

I was pulled over a few weeks back because of the liscense plate cover on my truck. You know the things that go around the ouside of your plates, yeah, I guess they are illegal in Texas. I was like what the hell. So I passed the same cop about 10 minutes later witht he plate covers off. I got a kick out of it.

I got pulled over because my lovely wife was very tired and put her head in my lap to sleep. I stunned the cop by not even waking her up. He thought something else was going on....Then I badged him and got a high 5! Was sent on my merry way, my wife never even knew.

Back in '98 I was pulled over for driving a vehicle with a suspended license because the old owner had a suspended license (4 months in my name) They of course let me go but that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever been pulled over for.

Answer 6

My dad's business partner was pulled over for speeding once. He managed to talk his way out of it, pulled out onto the road, and got pulled over immediately by the same cop. He was then ticketed for not using his hazards when he pulled off the road and not using his blinker when he drove back onto it.

Answer 8

So you were driving a pimped, yellow, acura, huh?

Makes a difference.

I got pulled over for not coming to a stop once, reckless driving once (wasn't ticketed, but the cop told me to never come back to his town), and speeding probably 6 times.

Out of all that, I had to pay two tickets.

Answer 9

Tinted windows can be illegal, I've been pulled over for that. I was also pulled over for non-working liscense plate light....at 2am in the morning. Luckily I was just getting off of work and not coming home from the bar.

Answer 10

The funniest one I ever saw?? A local cop was standing outside a bar. A man came out of the bar and got in his car.

The cop said " If you put the key in the ignition, you're under arrest for DUI" The man asked, how was he supposed to get ome. The cop replied, " start walking."
