I just refuse to schmooze

Needle,

Runs-with -scissors has it right with the dome light and the hands on the wheel. No need to be getting the paperwork until you're asked for it.

The most important thing is to not get out of the car until asked. The supreme court has found that we do indeed get the say in that matter, and it tremendously ups the tension level to have someone get out when you're asking them not to.

99% of people, including almost all the drunks, are very nice when you pull them over, and are very sorry for their driving mistake. The rich are the worst.

Take Care,
Jeff
 
Our school hosted some German exchange students, and one of them was driving around some Americans. A cop pulled them over, and without thinking, she got out of the car like they do in Germany and then the situation escalated to her friends yelling to get back in the car and the cop apparently got very on edge :eek:

Arrested? Some of you are just bizarre. Do you know what a vehicle registration is?

Also, I think I gave him plenty of reasons not to write me a ticket:

I was polite, honest & straightfoward, not driving recklessly, obviously well aware of my surroundings, and I have a damn good driving record, the warning from 2 months ago aside.

Yes, I think I gave him plenty of good reasons, but I think because I did not schmooze the guy and because it was the end of the month, I got a ticket.

Maybe you just had to be there to see that the guy obviously wanted me to buddy him up so he could find a reason not to write the ticket, but like I said, schmoozing does not somehow mean I don't deserve the ticket he is otherwise going to write.

Break the law and get a ticket, that's the way it should work, but this being the real world, it obviously does not. Show some tit & you probably won't, or schmooze well enough and you probably won't. I think it's BS, but it is true that is how it works.

I hate it when I do something and it's somebody else's fault.:yawn:
 
I happened upon a scene just yesterday I think it was. Woman standing on the sidewalk as a dolly was loading up her car. Cop says "Mam, I'm sorry you're upset, but if you don't have a license you shouldn't be driving a car." She had doubled parked on the sidewalk, which probably brought them in the first place.

I don't know if she tried to show'em some tit or not, but I could see the thought bubble above her head "But I don't deserve this ticket and getting my car towed!".

Damn laws! :grumpy:
 
mike_mck2,

You sped, got a ticket. You feel your registration being expired and getting a ticket for that is unjust. Tell that to your state legislators and see if you can get all the unjustness changed, the cops are there to enforce the law. Then you got some bright lights in your face by the police who don't know you from Adam. They have family and friends they would like to return home to in one piece, so lighting you up on a dark road is a prudent move on their part.

You think you got the ticket for not schmoozing? You got the ticket for breaking the law and the cop doing his job. If you had done your job of not speeding and paying your registration, the cop would not have had to do his job. No sympathy for you, pay your fine and move along.

Asks me if I know why he pulled me over ( duh! ), and I tell him I know why, obviously I do because I slowed down when I saw him hiding out in the dark parking lot. . . .


Asks me if I have been pulled over recently and I say about 2 months ago. . . .


. . . .he does the grimace thing, like that's just really bad....basically inviting the schmooze from me, which I'm just not gonna do. . . .


Points out that my registration is expired. . . .


My mistake is drving the same way at the end of the month as I do every other day on that road, and not sucking up to some git so he can feel like a big man. . . .


As for the registration, in my opinion that's just more BS, and is purely a revenue item. . . .


I just did not buddy him up to try and get out of a ticket.


Yep, I broke the law, and I am paying for it. My point is, I don't think I deserved it, and I know, from experience, that if I had schmoozed him up I would have got a warning. . .


Break the law and get a ticket, that's the way it should work, but this being the real world, it obviously does not. . . .


Show some titt & you probably won't, or schmooze well enough and you probably won't. I think it's BS, but it is true that is how it works. . . .


Human nature dictates that showing some tit or schmoozing will work, and I have personall with my own eyes seen it work. . . .


Schmoozing would be talking about how I just worked a long 12.5 hour shift to support my wife & kids, going on about how sorry I was for getting pulled over, slipping some sports talk in there somewhere, and making sure he knew how much I appreciate the police and donate when they call me on the phone each year.

ROTFLMAO


As soon as I saw the author's name and read the first post, I knew it was going to be. . . . .well. . . .out in left field. :D Another hint. . . .I kept hearing the theme song to the Twilight Zone, as I flipped through the pages.


His thought process, through this entire ordeal, shouldn't surprise any of you. :D




Well, mike_mck2, to quote you. . . . .
