Pulling gooseneck car trailer and voice on cb described my trailer and said. When I responded he asked how fast was I going and my standard answer was double nickel. His response advised me to hang on because my trailer was going 80 and when it caught my truck there was going to be a hard hit. He then pulled around, short flash of his blues and said have a good night from Mighty Mouse

I was with my mom and dad years ago,we stopped at a rest area and right after we got back on the road were pulled over for "following too close" there were no cars around us!! I was driving,we were on our way home from Chicago,my license was in my bag in the trunk,so I got out of the car to get it,meanwhile another trooper pulled over on the highway as I hand him my license as he's looking at it asked me..."what do you think we should do with people who carry drugs in their car?"
I said they should be prosecuted. He handed my back my license and said..."be more careful driving"I got back in the car and we were on our way. To this day I believe that cop profiled us at the rest area and followed us because me and my dad have tattoos and we were wearing sleeveless T-shirts. This was in 1995. Ohio troopers are A-holes!!!!
OP I'm glad you had a good experience!!

Never has the displeasure of meeting an Ohio State Trooper but have to say the troopers in TX, MA and NH have all been super nice and respectful when I have been stopped for speeding. Being respectful to them has always resulted in nothing more than a warning, "have a good day", "slow it down" or "nice car" (during my Porsche days). Haven't been stopped yet my my Vette - I am sure it's just a question of time. As for the local municipal cops, that's another story - mostly a**holes with nothing better to do than give me ticket for 4 mph over the limit.
