But thats because i keep getting pulled over for no reason. The shit really inconvient. I'm almost positive there isnt a silver CL-S getting stolen every other week in my area.

Actually I'd try for both... i've pulled two cars over at once before...
edit: but 80 in a 55 with little traffic is not going to get my attention unless one car is a crap box

Not to say you can just *never* write a ticket, you have to do some enforcement... but it's not like a quota, just "why have you not managed to write at least one ticket this week?"
I tried for one ticket a day... maybe pull 15 cars over, ticket one. Whoever was disrespectful or just deserved the ticket... most pullovers are either for stupid things (nice rolling stop, please be safer) or for cars where I want to find drugs or whatnot. the one idiot getting the ticket might leave his radio on, hassle me for pulling him over, etc... or just have a dumbass violation like running a red light...

one more question....
i had an exhaust put on my integra at one point.... not loud at all... the tip was just shiney... i told the officer when he pulled me over that it was well below the DB limit... he still wrote me a ticket....
is there a double standard to this like the tinting laws??? as in "it is illegal to have any type of modification done to the exhaust"???
thanks for the answer on the quota question... wish there were more cops like you down here... i always shake their hand even if i get a ticket.... dont know why i do.. i just do

NYPD has a certain number of tickets they have to give out. They do not call it a quota, it is a performance goal. If they do not meet it month after month they face disciplinary action.
They have to write a certain number of Parkers, Movers and Criminal Summons' a month FYI
This I know for a fact.
Sorry brakejob, i know this is your thread so I will Shush for now

hypothetically if someone were to get stopped by a cop and given a jay walking ticket and they gave the cop wrong personal info would they be off the hook?
And what would a cop do if you refuse to sign a ticket?

This DUI talk has got me wondering... Is someone allowed to become a cop if they have a DUI? I've heard multiple things. I've heard if you get an "under 21" DUI, you can still become a cop. But if it's an "over 21" DUI, you can't.
I've always heard different things, but just wondering which is correct.
Anyone know? Thanks..

What seperates a "corrupt cop" from a "friendly cop." For example, I have a friend who knows a cop who is a coke dealer(I assume that is a corrupt cop), and then I have a friend who was pulled over for speeding without a licence or a licensed adult in the car(never got one, underage) and since the cop new his brother(a troublemaker) he was just advised to slow down. In addition, I have a friend who was pulled over when she was on her learners permit, at 1 AM, with friends in the car, and started crying and the cop let her off(Boston)... Do you draw the line with friendliness at some point...
Also, I have been on the highway before in the left lane where all the cars in sight are doing at least 85, do some cops pull random people out and over for that? Is "I was going with the flow of traffic" a reasonable response that would hold up in court against a ticket(for the 85 limit, though in FL on vacation my dad was going 95 and still getting passed).

happened to me a couple of times as well. dad used to work for the city before he retired. i got pulled over for 55 in a 25, the cop says "your dad will kick both of our asses if i write you this ticket, so just take it easy son". it's good to know people
