I got profiled

[shiningstar76]

When I had dreads every vehicle I drove apparently smelled like weed.....At least according to the Peterborough NH police department. It didn't matter if it was my bus or an Aries K or a tercel. Ironically I didn't smoke pot, so I would have a lot of fun with them. I never got a ticket, ever. I used to light incense in the bus as I was pulling over just to screw with them.

Back in the 90s on the east coast I drove a 86 ford ltd got pulled over all the time at least once a month. Some times they wanted to search the car, sometimes they just let me go. It all magically went away after I bought a brand new pick up truck. Haven't been pulled over in the bug/bus here in Reno, but that might because every one in here in Reno owns a vintage car of one sort or another.

This is a fun thread and I had to think for a while to remember this story. One time I was leaving my friends house when a cop pulled me over. He comes up to the window and barks "where's all the speed?" So I started laughing out loud and he yells "this isn't funny!" And I say "well you got to understand I haven't done that shit in years". And then he says "good, then you won't mind if I search your car?" And I say "fuck yes I'll mind!" And he says "well I am going to search it anyways!" So he pulls me out and cuffs me and puts me in the back seat of his squad car and starts tearing through my bug. Then he comes back and gets me out, takes the cuffs off and says "well, I found your pipe and your dope and I put it in the center console. Here is your license, your free to go" I got in my car and was shocked, I didn't know I even had a bag of weed!

I got pulled over about 4 months ago at the top of a small hill (keep that in mind) by our local cops the main town intersection is about 5 blocks behind me at the bottom of the hill he comes up and said do you know how fast you were going? I said no I had it to the floor like I always do climbing a hill (my bus is a stock 71) he said your were doing 45 in a 35 and you did a illegal right turn at the light. I said well I don't often get accused of speeding UP A HILL he did laugh at that as for the turn at that light the pavement is wide there and the cops don't like you going over the white line and passing cars in the right even thou there is plenty of room and it is commonly done he let me off but I did have the gall to say awe come on a speeding ticket I wanted to frame it! he was laughing as he walked off we have petty cool cops for the most part up here.

I don't have a story of my own, but I've really enjoyed all the ones in this thread! As for whose driving was at fault in the original post: c'mon guys, the poster even quoted his state's driving laws, proving that what he did wasn't against the law! He's definitely not at fault.

In my state & many others it is illegal to pass on the right, wasn't trying to bust his balls. He's been on here since 2007, so i'm sure he knows how this forum (internet) works.
Any time you express an opinion, especially on the internet, you're gonna get an opposing view. So I'm not sure why he got butt-hurt so easy

I know "internet balls" can be a problem sometimes, but come on, all of this was so far just light hazing, & no insults ! Maybe I should get butt-hurt for being called a geezer at only 37

I get pulled over all the time for no reason other than I am driving a VW bus in the most dumbass redneck state in the USA. The cops have come up with such bullshit reasons that I have quoted back to them the statutes that they were misrepresenting to me. Also, they always seem to be surprised that a sober 56 year old guy is driving the bus! The aren't terribly observant.
