haha! just happened to me just the other day. was picking up my gf at the berkeley campus the other night and was kinda mashing up the turnaround near oxford (doing about 25 in a 15). then i noticed a crap load of campus police cars parked up the turnaround and i was like, "oh shiz..." 
picked up the gf and started heading back down. sure enough one cop motioned with his flashlight to pull over. he walked up and sternly told me it was unsafe to go that speed, especially because it was dark. i totally agreed and said it wouldn't happen again. then he put a big grin on his face and asked...."so wadda ya got?" i told him, just a turbo-back and a tune." he said, "sounds nice...be careful out there!"

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.

I got pulled over the first night I had my car. No cats, coffee can exhaust... shifting into 3rd at WOT when he passes me going the other direction. I was going significantly over the speed limit at the time, and my headlight had been flickering on and off all night. When I drove passed him, I knew he was going to flip a ***** so I started to slow down and pulled over. He comes up to my car and he explains to me that I was going 20+ miles over the speed limit. I told him that I was at fault, and I had bought the car earlier in the day. He goes back to write the ticket and after a few minutes he tells me that he used to drive an STi and that he loves subies. He gave me a headlight fix it ticket but my speed was written on the ticket... so when i got it signed off 2 days later the cop signing it gave me the stink eye. lol
I've seen the fury of both sides of the law...
Here is the rarity of the better occasion:
I pulled up to a stop light as it was turning red, in the right lane next to a local patrol unit. He signals me to roll my window down as I look over at him. I did and he proceeds to ask me where I got my car and that he has been wanting one forever. He then says that he just bought a 2008 and wishes he could have found an older body style and if I wanted to trade jokingly. The light turned green and we were our way.
I thought almost for sure he was going to say something that I didn't want to hear when he told me to roll my window down, as I had *lightly* tinted fronts and a can of an exhaust.

The second week I owned my car I was pulled over for 95 in a 65.
The CHP comes up to the car and asks "Guess why I pulled you over....no, no, no, guess how fast you were going?" Knowing that I was speeding, I replied "um, 75" to which he responded "nope, 95". He asked for my license/registration/insurance and I gave him my license and insurance because I hadn't got my reg yet so I pointed at the windshield with the docs from the dealer saying "isn't that my registration?". This is when it got good. His response "Hmm, so you don't have registration?" and I reiterated that that is all I got on the windshield. That is when he said "Well, either I can cite you for no registration, or 95 in a 65". My response "I don't have registration" and I got away with a fix-it ticket

I have a feeling a few of us have run into that cop before.

Man the only time i got let go was in the Presidio in SF.
It was halloween and i was in my rsx and I totally ran a stop sign with a cop coming up the other direction. I pulled over, turned the car off, put the keys on the dash and waited for him to complete his u-turn.
He came up and said, well you know you did something wrong obviously. I could only reply with I'm sorry. He let me go and told me to be safe and watch out for kids.
It pays off to be courteous, not show them any danger, and be fully cooperative.
