I've had a few LEOs give me a thumbs up on the road. Had the local police officers asking me some questions about it at the gas station (do you track it, how much power does it have, etc.). It's never gotten me out of a ticket...but then again, I've never been pulled over in the S.

 

The only cool cops that I have encountered with are girl cops.

 

I was just at a little "car meet" in our town. We had maybe 20 cars all parked near eachother in an empty section of the huge parking lot.

Of course as one of the younger guys from our group was leaving, he sees his younger cousin getting jumped so he stops and gets out and chases off the other guys.

From my perspective, and I'm sure the cops who rushed over to break that all up - I figured it looked like were were Fast and Furious troublemakers and the rest of the group all started to look disappointed knowing that the cops were gonna screw with us or that we'd have a bad name in the eye of the local cops.

I see one Tahoe driving city cop pull up behind a few of our cars as if he was running the plates.

I still had my hood open from showing people the SC kit earlier, and the cop stops behind my car...and starts walking towards it.

I was expecting some lecture about street racing, or "illegal mods" (lol)...something bad.

But, this cop just walks up, and says "I figure, the hoods up, do you mind if I check it out?"

He peeks around, says "Thanks - I bet this thing really moves. You guys have a nice night..." - and he leaves.


We've also had another cop show up when were were taking pictures in an empty upper level of a parking garage. We asked if he needed us to move or anything, and he said "Oh no...don't mind me. You guys have some nice cars."

We tried to get him to line up his Police Expedition SUV for a shot, but he said his boss wouldn't like that...

lol.

 

wow didn't know this thread existed. heres a story of mine, not really a "cool cop" but it was a "cool experience"

BACKGROUND:
Now I've been into cars as back as I can remember, and I always had to get behind the wheel of one. I used to sneak out my mothers car when I was 14-15 all the time! It happened so much that my mom didn't even bother hiding keys anymore, cuz Ide always find a way to get a copy, so she would let me drive to work or school sometimes.

When I turned 15 1/2 I went out and got my learners permit, even though I was driving regardless. I drove for over a year with just a permit, till one day I got pulled over, and had my permit suspended for 6months.

Even with my permit taken away, I still had to drive to get to work. I know, I know, it was dumb on my part, but I just couldn't stay away from driving, no matter what it cost me. I literally had 2 cars before I even legally got my license (at age 18).

MAIN POINT:
Anyway, heres the story.
I was 16 years old, with a suspended permit/license. I was driving down the highway with 3 of my friends in my car (97 Honda Accord). I was at a stoplight and decided to race some random oldschool mercedes with 20" bling bling rims. I gun it, cuttin through traffic and making poor decisions. I see the mercedes in my rear view wayy back, so im feelin all badass and whatever, and I take an exit ramp to get off the highway, and as soon as I do, I see blue lights in my rear view. It took me a moment to realize I was gettin pulled over, and I was freakin out, I was definitly goin to jail!! So I pull over half way through the exit ramp, and the state trooper comes out screaming at me!!! (veins bulging out of his forehead)
COP: what the hell are you thinking!!!! do you know how fast you were going?!?! are you crazy???
ME: sorry officer...
COP: let me see your license and registration!
I pull out my registration and hand it to him.
COP: ... and your license?
ME: I dont have one, sir... Im sorry.
COP: WTF!?!??!?! YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME!! YOU ALL WANT TO GO TO JAIL TONIGHT DONT YOU?!?!?!
ME: no sir.
COP: (still screaming) DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MOVING VIOLATIONS YOU JUST MADE?!??!?!
ME: Im sorry, It wont happen again..
COP: I CANT BELIEVE THIS!! (as he throws my registration at my face)
he walks back to his cruiser, and i turn off my car, thinking, this is it.. Im going to jail, and I will never get my license.. Im just sitting there and all of a sudden, I see him pull back on the road and drive past me... Im like wtf??? and I wait for a minute, thinking this is some super troopers shit!!! he turns at a light and disapears...
WE ARE ALL IN SHOCK!! I pull back on the exit, and drive to the closest Taco Bell, no one said a word throughout the ride, we got to Taco Bell and jumped out of the car and just went crazy talking about what the hell just happened!!! I got away, thx to a cop who was either too lazy or too angry to deal with it!!

Sorry for the long read, and yea I know, I was stupid when i was young, I thought I was the best driver in the world, and untouchable.. I dont need to hear how much of ricer move that was, believe me, I know. Im sure everyone had their phase.

 

lol i had that phase with a 02 civic lx with no vtec hahaha

 

haha yea, i had a 97 accord LX sedan no vtec... automatic!!! it was pure crap!!!! my next car after that was a 96 integra sedan, MANUAL! woot my first manual, i tought myself how to drive stick on this car. even tho those were the ricer days, i still want a 96-2000 civic hatch, so fuggn bad!!! some guy in my neighborhood had a clean ass one when i was like 12 yrs old, that got me hooked on honda ever since, and i have yet to own a hatch.. im gonna get one as a DD/project car

 

This just happened to me an hour ago tonite:

I had just left my mom's house after a big dinner and kinda in a hurry to goto the ATM and meet someone who was selling a part on craigslist. Top down, trance music thumping, 80 degrees- all wonderful.

I take this street that I know is always patrolled, and my concentration is at a certain section ahead of me down the road where they usually hide, that I DID NOT notice that the Impala I just passed was an unmarked patrol car!

Blue lights flash and he pulls me over.
The polite niceties, explanation that I understand that this street is always patrolled and that I was just on my way home after a big dinner and a bit tired and blah blah..
He pretty much asked me why I blew by him doing about 60 in a 35mph zone.

The cop was real cool, asked for my license and told me if it checks out, he would give me a warning.

He was true to his word and let me go.

The most messed up part about the whole thing was that when I apologized to the craigslister waiting for me, I realized I was wearing this shirt- which I will never wear again:

SPEEDING TICKET EXCUSES

 

i drifted out of a gas station merging into traffic, dipped one car then jumped left n took off. A few miles later I see sirens in my rear view in the center lane. I thought to my self hmm he must be going to an accident call or somethin, but naw he was haulin ass after me. Pulled me over, we exhanged words, let me go with a verbal, " stop driving like an ass" warnings. But thats about it, the countless number of tickets and pending license suspensions I have gotten while owning the S2000 have all been asshole dicklickers and I show nothing but complete respect to every one of em

 

We had a cop and his partner show up at a meet a few weeks back, and when one of us said something like "Do you want us to leave?", he simply said "Nah, I don't care, we just wanted to check out your cars."

Today I got really lucky with a nice cop, but mainly because he didn't want to kick me while I was down.
