Let's Hear Your Best Defense !!

[MiamiMermaid]

While I was visiting NYC and NJ, I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow prime member's wife, and we had discussed beginning this thread. But for some reason, she disappeared ? With the sudden increase of conversations re: cops and such.....I was reminded.
*I wasn't sure if I should have just entered this under the worst cop stories thread, but it just didn't seem to fit because I'm foreseeing some of the responses to this question to be at the very least, quite comical ...... :tongue:

Soooooo The Question is.....

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY YOU GOT OUT OF A TICKET (or at least tried) ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I could come up with several but the best ever was about 3 or 4 months ago. I was running late to meet a buddy (fellow cop nsx'r) eeks... so I was on the Turnpike not going too fast, but about 93, he said. I apologized greatly and explained to him that (it had been raining on/off ) I didn't know what to do because my windshield wipers were broken, and the only way I could see was to go fast enough so that the rain would just slide quickly over the front glass. He so knew I was full of it, smiled, and said, "you know, I would give you the ticket, but I must say this is the first time I've heard this one. Slow it down, girl." We both were kind of laughing at how ignorant the defense was. But, hey, it worked! :biggrin:

The easiest way I have ever gotten out of receiving a ticket was my brother-in-law showing his badge.

A few years back I got 3 tickets in a ~10 day period. My wife's mother works for the DA's office. All three tickets vanished into thin air once she talked to the DA. I was unofficially told I am officially out of favors at the DA's office.

I usually just cry and tell the cop I just broke up with my boyfriend. :wink:

This is true. I know from the ride alongs I have been on that women are more likely to get out of a ticket, even more so if they have a short skirt on.

One recent evening I was on my way home from the hospital (driving the speed limit) when... a police car speeds up to my car in the lane beside me. The police then slows down quickly, changes into my lane, then police lights start to flash behind me. Of course I pull over right away not knowing what just happened.

Even before he gets out of his car I have the windows rolled down and my insurance card and registration in my hand. The cop walks up beside the car and says "license, insurance, and registration". I give him the insurance and registration and ask why I was pulled over. He proceeds to say that my license plate light bulb is burnt out! Thats it?!?

The officer then asks again for my drivers license. I am wearing hospital scrubs and tell him that my license is in my wallet in my "white coat" in the trunk and ask if I could get out of the car to get it. The officer looks puzzled and asks what a "white coat" is. I tell him its my doctor's jacket. He immediately says "Oh sorry Doc! Let me take you out of the computer". A minute later I am back on the road, without a ticket! (Would've cost me $80!).

Honestly I've never pulled the "doctor" card before and I did not intentionally try to pull it in this instance. However I am surprised that it made such a big difference. I do know of colleagues who seem to use it all the time (and not just with the traffic cops) with varying degrees of success.

I was going 80 on a 35mph area in california on a straight away when I see a motorcycle cop sitting inbetween two cars with his radar gun right on me... when i zoomed passed him he nearly dropped his radar gun on the floor trying to put it away and catch up to me.. I caught eye contact with him and I knew that I was done, so I pulled over before he even got over to me.. When he came up to my car my defense was "third gear in this car is amazing!" and we laughed about it and talked about my ride for about 10 minutes and he gave me a ticket anyway.. but instead of really busting my balls he wrote the ticket for 45mph... I guess humor can get you somewhere but I bet that a pair of nice t*ts and a great a*s would have gotten me off the whole thing... It is so unfair for us men when it comes to authority...

Got stopped by a police twice. The first was when the car was lowered with Eibach spring (any mods on car is not allowed here in Brunei). I told the police this is factory height. Got away with that.

The second was having the glass tinted. The police asked me to lower my window and he started to feel the inside of the window. He asked "tinted?". I had to say yes so I peel the tint off there on the road side. I asked him if I would get the ticket he said no because I was kindly coorperating with him.
