While I was doing traffic school, a lady there had got a stop sign violation for not stopping for a full three seconds.
The irony was that she saw the cop before she even stopped, so she intentionally waited for over a second. The cop agreed that she fully stopped but said it was only 1.5 seconds rather than 3. She got a ticket for around $250.

Was in a neighborhood I didn't know and ran an oddly placed sign out of nowhere.
Virginia State Trooper saw and flipped a U-turn after me.
I pulled into the driveway of a nearby home and talked to the man outside watering his grass like we were best friends.
Cop stopped, looked and continued along. I gave the puzzled guy a thanks, gave him a 20 and told him lunch was on me. No ****. It was so unlike me but I did it.
