If you want to get out of a ticket, dont break the law in the first place
Breath mints don't cover up the smell of alcohol.
Of course, that's not what I tell the drunks who come through on a Saturday night. They seem to think that menthol cigarettes and half a pack of Doublemint will let them cruise right through the roadblock down the street. Who am I to shatter their precious illusions?Breath mints don't cover up the smell of alcohol.
Painfully, that actually is good advice, but you really should try to avoid the accident anyway. As a rent-a-cop, I really don't want to say "we", but somebody may get you on that too if possible....Don't forget this advice: "Don't speed up to avoid an accident. Just let the guy hit you, otherwise we'll write you a ticket for speeding."
Why is it that creeps like that can have an unending supply of girlfriends, but I can't find one to save my soul from the Devil???
Yeah, but who's to say that the girls who choose to be with crackhead creep are worth having?
Remember, you just haven't found her YET. She might be just around the corner.
Cheers!
My kinda guy....He'd say "Naw, I don't have a quota, they told me I could write as many tickets as I want! Have a nice day"
Thats one of the last lines I'd use for the simple fact its over-used from what I understand. I actually did use it once, it was about 0300 on a Sunday morning. He had the perfect plan to catch me in a lie. He told me to start the car. The tach had swung up to about 6 grand before and the valves were floating by the time I turned it back off. First words out of his mouth were "Well, thats a first..."Red lights flash, pull over , jump out raise hood ,exclaim " accelerator linkage stuck" . You can get by with that about two or three times. Eventually " son, that linkage is always getting stuck on this stretch of road...yes the other officers and I do communicate".
One of my favorite responses is "We dont have time because of the speeders/drunks/drag racers/whatever taking up all our time.""why aren't you out there arresting real criminals?"
Sorry, not happening. I have been stopped once for avoiding an accident. Had I thought about an exit stratagy, I probably could have thought of a better one, however it would have been after I hit the kid. I didn't think, I reacted. Though I didnt speed up, the time I got stopped was when a kid on a bike rode into my lane (two-lane w/ center turn lane) and I swerved to miss. The officer was coming towards me in the other lane as I slid through the turn lane. He quickly turned around to stop me, I already had my signal on to turn into a parking lot. When he got to the window and after the usual exchange, I told him what happened. He took my word for it because he did notice a kid on a bike, but a fish-tailing Fairmont is a pretty good distraction... I dont know if he usually worked in this area or not (or if he still does), if so theres no telling how many times he saw me not doing something stupid so that may have had a hand in it.Don't forget this advice: "Don't speed up to avoid an accident. Just let the guy hit you, otherwise we'll write you a ticket for speeding."
I can't tell you how many times similar things have happened to me on I-85 around Greenville & Spartanburg SC. If I stay in the left lane, somebody (usually a BIG truck) wants me to move over. If I stay in the right lane, that little blue car (well, it's usually a big rusty pickup but....) is there all the time.The second time I did speed up. Have no idea how fast I was going when I lifted. Someone was coming down the Brevard Rd on-ramp onto I-240W, and theres no merging lane for it. None. Here comes this little blue car flying down the ramp and the driver seemed to be determined to get the spot I was in, it was clear in front of me, congested behind me and the hammer was occupied, so I punched it. The white Crown Vic behind me that I had been wondering about did turn out to be an un-marked car. Dude in the little blue car cut off a cop. Guess who got stopped
