If anyone wants to listen to a rant...

I got pulled over last night between Truckee & Squaw Valley. (I was going to a meeting in Squaw) Meeting started at 7 and I got caught in the Inaugural Speech...

I was speeding doing about 70 in a 55.. usually its ok to go a bit above the limit at night on the 89..was I wrong..

The CHP stopped me and asked for the usual paperwork... then he proceeded to lecture me on my speed saying, "you know you were doing 68 in a 55."

(pucker factor at lvl4)

I responded by admitting I was at fault.

He took my paperwork, then said, "hang tight, let me get the paperwork going and you can be on your way."

I proceeded to roll up my window and turn off my car. First item that went through my head was the hole that this ticket was going to put in my pocket. I was looking up with my hands on my head, when I saw a light shine on my passenger side door. I look over and it's the cop again...

(mind you, it's only been 15-20 seconds)

I rolled down my window and asked, "if there was anymore paperwork that he needed".."he said no, I am done with the paperwork" and handed my papers back to me.

(pucker factor went down to lvl2)

He proceeded to say, "Today is your lucky day, I like subaru's and I will remember yours. Don't speed again or I will write you a ticket, by the way... whatt kind of exhaust is that?

(pucker factor went to lvl10, because I am NOT CA legal, stage 2, single cat)

Oh, crap I thought! Then his next words were, "don't worry I am not going to write you a ticket, (this is where it got interesting) don't speed, but do me a favor and get on it (gas) when you safely merge, because I like the sound of your exhaust..." My face turned pale when he said those words... I was utterly in shock... and of course I got on the gas (safely of course)

Has anyone one else had this happen to them??

This is the second time that a CHP cop has pulled me over and let me go because they likes subys.... +1 for subys

Thanks for listening to my rant.

 

There are good ones out there.

 

Nice!

 

lol and +1 to cops like that.

 

yes it happened to me in livermore last year, i was in the backroads on grantline, and that is a no passing zone!!, but this damn truck was going so slow so i stepped out and gunned it and the cop nailed me for 120 in a 55 no passing zone. i was so scared he was like man ur car can haul ***!! then he said i have an integra what do u suggest i do to make it fast , i didnt know wether to tell him or shut up, so i told him to get a suby, he laughed and said no problem and he didnt cite me , but this is where it gets weird, he asked if i lived in mountain house and i said yes and he said maybe ill bring u my car to look at, i was like ok whatever , ya right. but sure enough he showed up at my house 2 days later with this car, i was in shock but u know what me and him have been cool since then, he comes over and makes sure he watches our house when we leave and he also bought a 06 sti, lol

 

I had a '67 Mustang that I got pulled over in all the time. Not to be given a ticket, but so the cop could check out the car. Happened four or five times. I've also been asked to do burnouts, race, etc. Some cops are really cool. Some are really not. Oddly enough that is the only car that happened in and I've owned quite a few (some that you'd almost expect that more in).

 

Not too surprised I got pulled over by a CHP near Industrial in Hayward. He was like "you were speeding but I like your car, so I'm not giving you a ticket. Go full throttle so I can hear it, it looks and sounds nice. Don't worry I won't give you a ticket for anything." So I floored it and I could see him clapping from a distance standing next to his car with a smile!

P.S. Respect to awesome cops! Cause they do exist and they are probably car ethuiast peeps just like us!

 

years ago i got nailed on I80 between Auburn and Roseville one night around midnight, in the triple digits.

the officer was cool, and a subaru fan, and let me off with some speed violation that put me in the lowest tier of the one point bracket. the ticket was only like $180 WITH traffic school. he technically could have towed my car and given me a big fat fine...

 

Wow, the sweet note of a Subaru soothes the savage beast. Who'd a thunk it...

 

lol good to have friends in the force.

 

Some nice cops you guys have encountered. If I ever get pulled over again I hope to meet one of those rare breeds too.

 

Thats awesome!! Its always good to hear stories like this instead of everyone constantly bashing on LEOs. They have good ones and bad ones. Glad to hear you got a good one!
I've had a LEO rev up on me at a stop-light in downtown, now THAT was awesome!

 

Did you ask him what was the retail price on one of those?

 

^ HAHAHA No, dang! lol
I did shake my head, and when he rolled down the window I asked if he wanted to go for pinks...

 

Actually had a cop yesterday ask about my wheels. He asked "are these aftermarket?" (pucker factor went up a touch) say ya that are called Rotas. He replies "well they look good. I bought something similar for my son." Then again, a former boss of mine is now a colleague of his. Not that I expect him to know me, but this department is pretty chill.
