He starts flashing his headlights, giving me signals to move out of his lane. I was like hell no, i'm not moving. If he's such in a hurry just go around me.

He continued tailgating me, we were both doing about 70mph, The posted speed limit was 65mph.

So after about 15 seconds, his police light comes on. I was like huh? WTF... this has got to be some fake cop. There's been plenty of those around my area. If you go on youtube, you'll also see videos of people using fake police lights to pull people over as a prank.

After about 20 more seconds of driving, it dawned on me, holy shit, this guy is a real cop.

So now he's pissed and wants to pull me over. I gently, got off the next exit and there were other cops siting at the exit waiting for me. Apparently he called for back up. So i get of the ramp, there are cops everywhere.

The guy jumps out his SUV, pulls out his gun at me.. starts screaming "PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE 'EM!!!!".

I co-operated nice and gently, he comes up to my car, his face was boiling red hot anger. He starts yelling at me, and spit was just flying out of his mouth.
"KID WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU..." "YOU"RE GONNA FUCKING GET IT ASSHOLE... YOU HAD ME CHASING YOU FOR MILES"..."DUDE YOU"RE FUCKING GETTING ARRESTED YOU PIECE OF SHIT"... "I GOT THE ENTIRE STATE POLICE ON THEIR WAY HERE NOW"...

He asks for my lic and reg, i gently hand it over to him. I started explaining to him calmly, that he was tailgating me, i told him "i didnt know you were a cop"... " you were tailgating me and flashing your high beams, which is against the law"... " you have your wife in the car, and your license plates are regular civilian plates"..."so i just thought you were just an asshole jerk trying to bully me out of my lane"

He faced changed a little bit, he takes my info and goes to his car. He starts talking to the other cops. After about 5mins, the other cops all drive off.
5mins later, he walks back to my car, hands me a ticket for $360 (Speeding violation + failure to pull over).

He tells me i'm not getting arrested. I can just see a little bit of guilt in his face. He knew i was right. He calms down, i explained to him a bit more why i did what i did... he says "oh well just check off not guilty, and we'll see you in court"

Just like that the whole thing ended, i put my sunshades back on and went to church like nothing happened.

I called one of my friends who is a cop too, he told me more than likely that they'll toss out the case. I didn't do anything wrong.

Yikes! Quite verbose statements made on behalf of that officer. Glad it was resolved without much of an issue.

I know a guy who was driving his own pov (personal vehicle) to pick up his kid from school. He saw one of the parent who parked on a handicap parking spot. He came out of his car and gave him a parking ticket on a plain clothes on his personal vehicle. He got chewed by his capt.
I am fairly sure that the case was thrown out, and issued a huge apology.

Handicapped Parking abuse is still not right. It's too bad the case was thrown out.

Speaking of handicap parking. One of the guy in the class received an expired meter ticket. It was about $15 fine. He wanted to pay that at the campus police dept, and he couldn't find a parking spot to get into the campus pd to pay for the ticket. He quickly parked it at handicap parking spot to pay for his $15 ticket. When he came out, he had an $180 handicap parking ticket on his windshield! haha

I've glanced at a lot of statement lately. The form seems to include:
I was dressed in my uniform
I was driving a marked police cruiser
I identified myself as a police officer

Some of the traffic guys hate to see a particular judge because they know if the above isn't there, the perp is walking.

[MrPrena]

Call me weird, but I thought it was perfectly normal for wife to make more than their husband.
From my experience (with small samples) , I've seen more female mid to non-executive management personal than male. Most of my bosses were female.
Again, from my small samples of observation, female tend to stay at the same company more than male counterpart.

Some say, men takes more risk? Maybe.

Are you 10-8 with a So.Cal department?

However, this is a never ending debate topic. Stay in my lane because I'm doing well above the speed limit or move over because the fast lane is the passing lane.

It is true, the cop in this story sounds like a total jerk. But who needs all that hassle? And you're gonna be out $360.

I just went to the house of two retired troopers to pick up my buddy who flew in from FLA (wife is 2nd cousin and godmother). Besides asking me to take a polygraph before offering me coffee, they were very nice people! (Also odd the husband was wearing those nitrile gloves when he took the coffee cup and I saw him swab it with a long q tip)

You're an @ss! Slower traffic always moves right at first opportunity! Officer was an @ss for not going around after you proved how much of an @ss you were. You two sses caused a sh!t show!

Back on topic, my wife makes about 20% more than me, but it's all the same money when it hits the checking account. We're going through this life together and equally responsible for home life, kids, etc. Neither of us could afford our lifestyle without the other.

I was on the left lane because i was preparing to merge with the next highway... The ramp is on the left side.

I guess the cop showed you who is boss

People like you shouldn't even have a drivers license.

GTFOH,

what makes you think i own the road? Because i wouldn't move out? I was on the left lane because i was preparing to merge onto the next highway on the left lane.

Stop changing your tune. You would have mentioned that in your original post if that was the case.

Do us all a favor and get off the road.

Even if he did everything wrong, that was not the way to act by the officer. Road rage should only be done in my style, which is the right one. You guys really could do with a few lessons in that.

Left lane toy sheriff.
Mid double digit IQ for not moving in front of a police car
Cop endangered his career in front of witnesses by saying those things...uhhhh, no

I call bullshit on everything after the numb nut hogged the passing lane.

You really believe that's how the cop acted? I call BS on the whole story just like the other guy.

just raising hell. I honestly don't care as long as the person is not in my bumper, and I'm not on a bitchy mood. Downshifting is fun.
