So, guys and gals, be honest and when you are driving a little agressively, making the pipes sing, and get stopped, just recognize that you asked for it and accept responsibility. Most cops are just doing their job. Safe driving.
From my experience it is all about where you live. I live in Dallas and have been pulled over 2 times in the past year for legitimate reasons and the police officers were always very polite and professional. However, I have family in Oklahoma City...

Ok... I know what I did wrong... had no registration that was current... I understand it was 6 months overdue but I had the car sitting for a while since I got my new toy.... The license plate was covered with my Business lic. plate for advertising... The fact is that I was not doing anything for the officer to pull me over when I was behind a camary going 5 mPH under the speed limit.. There were 4 cars total around me.... The discovery of the registration came after the fact that he chose to profile me... as whatever he thought i was... Either way... It's just Luck... If you have bad luck that day you are going to be messed with nomatter what...I guess... If you attract others you are going to attract cops even more... but lets not waste so much time with petty things that even the officers partner was talking to me about...... Either way... watch your back....:frown:

So far I have had very good experiences with Irvine PD, Garden Grove PD, Fountain VAlley PD, and CHP. I should have gotten tickets but with their understanding, and their professionalism..........I got warnings instead. As such, I am still donating a few bucks here and there every year to their association for whatever....even for the picnics
To Rancho Santa Magarita.....I hate that place!!! I despite that stupid place!!! May you receive a good bankruptcy and lay off your police forces shortly. Oh.......I got one citation on my way in to look at a house, and got another one on my way out.....one for 5mph over and the other..... lane change without signaling where the street is empty.
I was thinking of applying to Irvine PD. I'm not sure if they're hiring at the moment, but their starting salary is around $7500 a month.
I've been pulled over twice, one deserved for speeding, however the secong one was just to harrass me. The reason I can be sure of this is because the first thing the officer asked me was "Is this your car?" Ummm, Don't they usually ask things like "Do you know why I pulled you over?" or "License and Registration please." He took my information, walked around the car, ran my plates, came back to the car and said have a nice day. Aside from that, most cops try not to let me catch them looking at my car. Even though I see them looking at the nsx out of the corner of my eye.
Please.......

really?
Had no idea cops started at 90k /year?
There's a huge chasm in starting salaries for police officers depending on where you work. And a lot of cops (and firemen) make a ton of salary in overtime compared to base salary.
Imagine this... the starting wage for a freshly minted officer in the NYPD (which I believe still requires a college degree) is less than $30,000. Imagine trying to live on that in NYC.
