Now you're getting it!

I'm just putting in work. Do you think, even if I beat the 23110, that I could get a teardrop?

You may be better off taking the 23110 rap, as you could have a song written about the ordeal *and* get out of the draft for being too immoral to serve in the army.....

My vehicle registrations are hidden and return to my department's address as well.

When you get pulled over for speeding...because you probably have...how does that work? Do they see the badge first, or check the registration and recognize the address?

Also, do you think you'd be more apt to give a jovial guy like myself a break if the vehicle was registered to a professional corporation (ie. doctor, accountant, (not a lawyer), dentist, etc) so that you knew they were contributing citizens and not a trust fund baby?

It all depends. Sometimes law enforcement runs the license plate prior to pulling the car over and sometimes we don't. Either way, I'll have my driver's license and credentials in hand before the officer reaches my driver/passenger side window. If they run my plates, it comes back with my name as the registered owner, and my department and department address under that.

I do tend to take care of medical personnel, but attitude and truthfulness matters more to me than anything else. Like I stated in an earlier post, there was a motorist who I detained and realized she was driving unlicensed. I would've given her a pass, but she lied to me.

Officer, I just pulled to the side of the road to be safely out of the lane when the Mustang headed for the crowd. And then I wanted to get a pic for bimmerpost of said Mustang hunting.

See, this right here is one of the main reasons why I don’t do night car meets. Everyone posts on social media where meets will be at and say something like this:

No burnouts (but it always happens)
Don’t act like a clown (but the circus always shows up)
No loud music (DMX is ok-RIP but always loud music)
We’ll let you know about the ‘dig spot’ (street races)

Also, what if I’m there trying to stop the race, police roll up and try to take my wheels? Should I point them to UncleWede and say he started it?

One individual attempting to stop 100+ people from gathering?! That's a hard sell. One cop in a marked black & white patrol unit can barely accomplish that.

Hard sell indeed! I spent several years trying to solve street racing problems at the municipal/state level, after law enforcement efforts failed. Makes me feel depressed for days whenever I hear about yet another street racing fatality.....

Oh I'm sure that anyone in law enforcement that dealt with him was less than pleased after.

Care to give details or elaborate on said dealings? This didn't have anything to do with the FBI impersonation did it?

This has been a problem since the second car was built. So many challenges.

This story is from Toronto just a few days ago. The "clients" actually set fire to the road when the coppers showed up. They now have something like 19 clients in custody.

I was working in 52 Division which is the downtown core of Toronto. It was dayshift and I encountered him driving a white 60's Malibu or Biscyane that had a huge mural on the hood, and as I recall was a kind of low rider thing. It had California tags. Anyway he was driving like an idiot so I did a traffic stop on him in front of the Sutton Place Hotel, he id'd himself with a NY licence and while I was dealing with him his posse came out of the Sutton Place which is where the celebs all stay in Toronto.

His attitude was shit and theirs was worse. I had a couple of other cars spin by to show the colours. One of his people said to me "don't you know who this is", I indicated that I didn't and he replied "this is DMX, the biggest rap artist on the planet"......I replied "do I look like I listen to rap music? I thought my Sgt. was going to piss himself. Anyway Mr. DMX got a mitt full of coupons and almost got arrested when I towed the car. He wasn't very happy.

I think I still have his autograph in an old bankers box someplace.

Second paragraph belongs in the LOL thread! That's awesome, sounds like he richly deserved it. Nice to have celebs be reminded from time to time that they are no better than the average Joe.

I would have loved to be walking by to catch the show.
