Finally got pulled over yesterday...

I saw the cop on my left sitting behind some bushes. checked my speed i was only going 45, i think the speed limit may have been the same, 40 or 45. i go about another mile and the cop comes up on my with the lights and siren on. i pull over take my helmet off and get my information out of my pocket. as i'm doing that an undercover rolls up right beside me with his lights on. at this point i started to wonder wtf did i do. the uc drives away. the cop that pulled me over is now on my right and asks how many times i was on the road i just came from. turns out there is a blue bike flying up and down that road about 100mph and they thought it was me. turns out i knew the cop. he was a security guard at my high school. he remembered me. he said you didn't do anything wrong i thought you were the guy we was looking for. i thought about running for a few seconds to, cause the highway was not even a quarter mile away. i'm sure glad i didn't.

Did you buy a lottery ticket that day?

Yeah good thing you didn't run. And hooray for knowing cops .

I've only been pulled over once on my bike as well.

The cop whipped around on me and I didn't even notice, but I was doing the speed limit and everything so I didn't know what the hell was up. He flips the lights on right as I'm turning so I finish the turn, pull over, take my helmet off and kill the bike. Give him all my info and he says that my license plate mount is illegal.

It's vertical instead of horizontal and it's not illuminated and he gave me shit for having blue LED turn signals in the foot pegs too. I won't worry about the LED's since he didn't give me a fix it ticket or anything, but I will illuminate the plate for sure. I think it was just a slow night and wanted to pull someone over because I had passed countless cops at night and he was the only one that turned around to come get me.

It's a wonder that in Philly, cops won't pull over a guy for illegally mounted plates, flashing LEDs, AND full neon kits lit up while riding, but around the suburbs, you can get pulled over for not having your plate lit up.

seriously.... because city cops do real work... suburb cops are high school bullies...

iv been pulled over several times for either no reason or stupid shit like tint (in ym neighborhood going to my friends birthday dinner)

never been pulled over on bike (knocks on wood)

never going to believe this. i got pulled over AGAIN. this time i was not even 2 miles from my house. 54 in a 35. damn. what an idiot i am. i know the cop sits there every once in awhile. i could have ran this time also i seen "her" (women cop) coming from about two miles back. i didn't think she was coming for me tho but i was wrong. i was p*ssed off about this cause i could have got away so easy. it was a local so i know the car could have not kept up with me. worked out anyway though. i stopped back down and talked to officer and i asked her if we can talk about it. she agreed that the 35mph sucks in that area. she told me to fight it and she wouldn't put up a fight, and that i could get it down to a five over warning. when i went to the magistrate to get a hearing date the cop filled out the ticket wrong. the fine was $157.55 but because it was a bike i guess there was a fee that she should have not wrote down, so i guess im golden. i should buy a lottery ticket now.
