I've been stopped twice. Once I was doing 65 in a 30 the other time I was doing 40 in a 30. Both times I was let off.
There are good cops and bad cops and you really can't tell who's who by the way they treat you. I know cops who are complete bungholes and a PITA to deal with on any level. Yet, when crapstarts hitting the fan they're the ones who are beating the crap out of the bad guys every single time.

Yeah, just like pretty much all groups in society, the polics force is full of both good people and pricks.
My town has an over abundance of the latter, which is sad.
But oh well, that's how it goes sometimes.
One time my friend and I were coming home from out of town really late, and I was about half drunk, so he was dribing. The cops trailed us with there brights on, and then pulled us over for swerving, the bastards.... I was asleep in the back and turned over about this time, so the cop came up with his gun pulled, it was crazy. Then this other cop was asking me if I had any marijuana, and if I only had a little, but was upfront with him, it'd be ok... I don't smoke, so of course I didn't. He prodded me for a while though. They ended up being ok after that though... since we were fairly tired, he showed us this empty lot and told us to go rest there for a while before getting back on the road... we basically stayed there long enough for the cops to be gone, then went home.

Crooked cops are to Virginia as AIDS is to Africa.

I only got a 100 dollar ticket when my muffler was loud, its a lame law, but I do understand why they have it.

If anyone has a reason to hate cops, it's me.
I've been to jail more times than Robert Downey Jr. I constantly get arrested for "harassing Law Officials" They pull me over for random shit, even when I am walking, and I mouth off to them and I get arrested on BS charges, like Harassment, Disturbing the peace, etc. Cops in the surrounding 5 cities know me by first and last name.

Everyone apparently gets hassled by the cops for no reason, except for me. I've been magically able to go 8 years of driving without getting hassled or a ticket. I must have some sort of super power... I am the same way. Driving since 2000, and no problems yet. But it may help that I drive a Focus, not exactly the most luxurious of cars.

I get profiled constantly. Cops pull me over for no reason at all cuz I drive a BMW 645ci. I dont get tickets, but its a pain in the ass. Cop: How are you today, sir? Me: Ok. What seems to be the problem officer? Cop: No problem. Just wondering where you might be headed. Me: Why? How is this relevant? Cop: Thats a pretty nice car you have. Me: Um. Ok. Cop: You take it easy. Me: WTF?! Its annoying. And God forbid I acutally am caught speeding. You would think that I most of have commited a capital crime. Ugh! That sucks, Im looking into buying a Nissan Skyline and fear that i will get sh*t like that from cops every once in awhile. I never ever speed, its a waste of gas and just plain bad for your car plus the whole ticket thing and it being dangerous so Im all set there but im sure when I get the new car Ive been saving for I will get profiled which will suck

I'm 20 years old and I have yet to ever be pulled over by a cop...I guess I've just been lucky, because God knows I've done some things behind the wheel that I deserved to be pulled over for....

i hate tazers, and the dogs. those tazers can really damage you, the spikes stick in if it's one of those tazers that shoot from a distance and it must really take years of your life from shock to the CNS. nevermind those ing dogs, i can't believe they let them off their leash

Crooked cops are to Virginia as AIDS is to Africa. Did you hear last year when Martinsville VA was busted for drug running and other related crimes? that was crazy. I live about 45 minutes from there, and know some relatives of the sherrif. not to get off topic, but where in VA do you live?

i got pulled over for going 27 in a 25... the cop had been trailing me for close to a mile, and only pulled me over cuz it was two kids-around 20, driving around at 9 o'clock on a saturday night. the conversation went from 'u know this is a 25-mph zone?' to 'u been drinking at all tonight?' to 'do either of u have any warrants?'
ive never drank in my life.
ive never had any illegal drugs in my system.
ive never even smoked.
ive never got a ticket in my life.
ive never been arrested.
the only thing thats ever happened to me cop-related is getting my name taken down for skateboarding when i was younger.
the dude had nothing on me.
needless to say, some cops r wicked lame, and do bust balls, just to bust balls.

I hate people who do their jobs, too.
Whenever I go to the grocery store I walk straight up the kid stocking the shelves and throw a can of cream corn in his face and yell something to the effect of "DONT PUT THAT CRAP ON THE SHELVES, I WANNA PICK IT UP OFF THE FLOOR, DOUCHEBAG!!"

I go to college in Boston and the Boston cops can be ruthless a*sholes. Not to mention State Troopers. But the policemen in my town are pretty nice. In fact, they're very nice and I should be very grateful, because 2 years ago in my senior year of high school, I liked a girl so much that I left school 20 min. early, ran home (we lived fairly close to the school), asked my grandmother if I could borrow her car to get lunch in the center of town, but instead went back to the school to pick her up. Needless to say, karma got me... BAD. The school parking lot is very jam packed at the end of the day, and seniors were throwing snow balls at cars that day. The drivers side of my grandmother's car got hit, it scared me because I had no idea what the it was, and I released the break peddle for only a second, to rear end another car. The car never pulled over, or did and I never saw it, so I had the police at my house later on that day, wanting to talk to me because I had basically pulled a hit and run. Having your dad know most of the cops in town was very helpful here, as they know what kind of kid I am (a nice one), and they let me off the hook. I was incredibly lucky because that would have ed up my life when it came to driving,
