I put all the windows down, have hands where they can easily see them and let them know if I am going to reach for my wallet. I've never had an issue, and I've probably got warnings twice rather than tickets. |

Still don't really appreciate him since he pulled me over for no good reason to ask where I was going/what I was doing (I had stopped 6" over the line at a red light because they had changed the algorithm that night; previously if you'd hit it at a 2nd gear roll it would turn green by the time you got to the line. He had been following me looking for any reason to stop me) and told me I was free to go the second he saw my license/address. Never brought up why he pulled me over til I asked while he was walking back to his car.

My attitude in my interactions here mirrors closely how I deal with people in the wild.
Two weeks ago I detained a guy for running a stop sign in a residential neighborhood. As I contacted him and gathered his documents, I advised him why I pulled him over; this was about 10 minutes after I cited the woman who ran a stop sign with her child in the car and then proceeded to lie to me. Anyway, as I'm walking back to the patrol car to run him, I observed a young woman walk up to his truck and enter the vehicle. I allowed that to occur based on the environment, my assessment of him, his attitude, my reasoning for detaining him, etc. I had already decided he was getting a ticket the moment he committed the violation because stop signs/traffic enforcement were my focus(es) that day between the crime calls. When I approached his truck to administer his fate, I introduced myself to the woman who was now in the passenger seat. I learned it was their first date, so I immediately felt empathetic towards him. He asked me, "Will this affect my hiring process with department XYZ and your department? I have my physical agility approaching." I ran him through a series of questions to see if he was trying to bullshit me, but he seemed credible. Empathy won! I took the ticket back and told him to slow it down and obey the laws (...at least majority of them) if he's serious about this career. Deputy - 0 (...if I don't include the liar), empathy - 1!!! That was my good deed for that day. The next traffic stop I performed resulted in an arrest. Deputy - 1, empathy - none!!!! ![]() |

When I asked why he pulled me over he stated a couple things including a 'modified exhaust' which is not, in and of itself, illegal.

That's the thing--it wasn't loud or unreasonable. Many officers have agreed and if you heard it in person you would too.

So if I change the exhaust tip on a stock system is that a valid reason for detention?

Based on aesthetics alone, no. That doesn't meant a stock exhaust can't justify a citation though.

I've gotten a whole lot of "what're you doing in this neighborhood" stops and while there was a valid reason for the stop (front license plate, mostly) it wasn't at the core why they pulled me over. You know? Out of 10 cars driving past with no front plate they chose to stop the kid in the slammed e30...that's not some pure coincidence.

Could you elaborate? If some stock cars are too loud for CA laws, yet are allowed to be sold new in CA, what is an owner expected to do if they receive a citation?

Cars that are modified often get extra attention, I stopped cars often just to have a closer look, sometime chat with a fellow car guy about his car, other cops aren't car guys and might have a particular interest in modified cars because they have a bias (rightly or not) about modified cars and the folks that drive them. None of this is wrong or illegal, so the notion that a driver is stopped for no good reason may be more perception than reality. |

When I attend formal events with Police Officers, I am always regaled by some of the stories.
An Officer was dispatched to the Toronto Airport regarding a suspicious bag. The owner was identified and was asked why her bag was vibrating. She said it contained a small personal vibrator. Upon opening said bag, they discovered a black, foot long two headed dildo. She was asked to remove the batteries and to have a nice vacation. What are some of the funny ones you have? |

![]() While on patrol I observed a vehicle make an unsafe lane change, causing another vehicle to promptly brake to avoid a collision, so I conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle. While waiting for the driver to submit within a reasonable time/distance, I could see a lot of movement inside of the vehicle. My initial thought was, "I'm about to be in pursuit or I'm about to get a gun.......or both!" Once the vehicle stopped, I approached the vehicle and contacted the driver. During the course of my investigation, I determined the driver was unlicensed, intoxicated, had open containers of alcoholic beverages inside of the vehicle and had possession of a baton (...a felony stat under the circumstances). During an inventory of the vehicle, I found a dildo.......a recently removed/used dildo.......with remnants of the usage still present and fresh. My suspicion is he pulled it out prior to submitting to my authority and pulling over. Suffice it to say that I did not book that as evidence to his impaired/distracted driving. ![]() |
