A great cool night to be out driving first off. Temp in high 50's. Driving down the boulevard, obeying speed limit etc.. cruising with another corvette. When all of a sudden i see the lights come on behind me, so i pull over.
Officer comes up to me saying this is the same black corvette that was pulled over a couple of weeks ago for causing trouble. The leo kept saying this. This is that same corvette.
I said “no officer this isn’t that same corvette your talking about”
he became very sure of himself saying “yes it is this is it!”,
“this is the same corvette that’s been pulled over two weeks ago and got several tickets”
let alone this being the first time i ever got pulled over on this boulevard. so i told the officer to go check my records since he seemed to be so sure of this. he was surprised, looked at my inspection then took my license. He said he saw me earlier when I chirped my tires and that’s why he pulled me over now

Another cop comes.
He comes up to me reffering my car as the z06, I said no it wasnt and he left. (they thought this was a z06) My vettes a '01 Coupe.

Im heading back to college in a few days and i talked with one of the officers saying I was leaving to go to school in a few days arrangements for my court date n such I expressed towards him to be sooner than later. He went back to his car and 15 minutes later said he couldnt do that because he typed everything into the computer already.

The officer asks me why i thought i got pulled over, i told him i had no idea. (for i was just cruising as posted limit states) He said, i pulled you over for when you chirped your tires earlier in the night. Now last time i remember you cant just go pull someone over for something that'd happened earlier on. You have to pull them over during or after the act has taken place, not an hour or so after.

Other officer returns saying ive got a ticket for tint and unsafe start (chirping my tires) referred to dad take off tint, gave my license back to me saying “oh yea and also, your banned from the boulevard”. I asked for how long,
he said “when do you go back to school”
I said “Friday” then with a big grin he said yea that’s good enough!


What ive been wondering is...
-Why didn’t he pull me over when I created the problem.
-Why did he keep referring to me as the other corvette, thinking I was that another corvette that caused problems yet it wasn’t same car
-He pulled me over then mustve so he had to give me some kind of ticket.

The officer was a real ******* so if I tried to argue I could foresee even more problems arising.

My badluck seems to kick in few days before i go back to school. This whole situation was a bunch of . Cops dont appreciate the younger generation in these types of cars..

 

 

I know how you feel, I get some pretty dirty looks from cops

 

Oh goody - another cop bashing thread.......

 

I love these! Especially since I've never been pulled over in my life. (...just got a Corvette...bet that's about to change...)

Still, in this case it was

 

Hey sedan, it's not like every LEO is the greatest ya know? There are some that just don't know when to listen to others. Most LEOs are great, but not ALL of them.

Sedan, I still have the utmost respect for you

 

 

 

I'm not saying that all LEOs are always right, or always do the right things. I've met a few in my life that were absolute pr1cks. But the issue is that these threads always bring out the cop-haters, and then go down hill from there. It is important to remember that LEO's are human, they make mistakes, and they have personality quirks just like everyone else.

I'm not making any excuses for the LEO's involved in this matter - just remember that there are always two sides to the story.....

 

If the story is true, then they need to be bashed. Sounds like they were harassing, not really knowing the facts or listening to reason.

 

Ive only gotten pulled over once, in my last vette, for an illegal turn, and the leo just pointed out the sign saying no u turns, and said have a nice night. Gotten plenty of tickets in other vehicles, seems they cut vettes some slack, as long as theyre not driveing foolishly. I'm in my 40's and younger people are treated differently by the cops, its not fair, but thats the way it is and the way it was when i was younger.

 

Almost hilarious. You're banned from that Boulevard? Haha he wishes he could do that. Don't let it phase you. That cop was on a serious powertrip. you should file a complaint, there is no reason for anyone to act in that major. You should have asked the other officer to give the first one a sobriety test.

 

I feel your pain. But plan on getting roasted for this. Most of these people are leos or former leos. They don't give a damn. I had a ahole cop stop me and noone gave a damn, they all tried to find a reason why it was my fault.

Cops are ******. Thats a fact. They say oh, some are good. but the fact is, they are ******. Give them a gun and a badge and they think they rule the world. They so tough and bad. They can make you pay a ticket or go to jail. I bet they go to bed all feeling warm and fuzzy knowing the screwed over yet another person.

My cop told me he didnt eve like vettes. Well, he should lose his job. Cant have people out there giving tickets based on vehicles and not law.

Just another minimum wage punk cop who didn't get hired on at wal mart, pissed off at the world cause he don't have something someone else has. I imagine him and the other cop had coffee later on and called some buddies and had a circle jerk.

Cops don't appreciate anything. It's who can I abuse today with my almighty powers?

Ego.

They think they are special because their *******s.

 

Iceman,
you have some vadid points. Good luck with resolving this.

CorvetteAddict00,
your comments are totally over the top. I see that you live in Austin. I hope to never meet you.

 

Tell us how you really feel. I really pity you and your ignorance on the topic. It's pretty easy to bash something you don't know anything about or have very limited experience with. I hope you still don't feel the same way should you ever need to dial 911, a cop will usually be the first responder.

To the OP, you had an encounter with some pretty poor examples of law enforcement. If you posted everything about your encounter and didn't leave anything out, you would be entitled to file a complaint and I would encourange you to do so.
