How to get out of a moving violation.

I was nice to the LEO after Hershey, ID myself as a retired LEO and he was a smart azz and gave me the ticket anyway. I did tell him to give me the ticket and not the bull shirt. I would NEVER let them search my cars. Take me to jail and get a court order.
 
As a retired LEO myself I will just let you know never let anyone search anything without a warrant.
 
I allways thought if you shut off then engine then the cop has the ability to search your car since it wasn't being "operated" at the time and more often then not you are on public roads or public grounds...??

Wouldn't this increase the chance of getting a ticket if I deny them permission? Say I was already caught doing a 70 in a 55. From your view point I am very curious.
 
It seems like courteous, cooperative people are getting breaks, and confrontational people who say "just give me the ticket and piss off" are getting tickets.

Imagine that.
 
I'm an ex LEO (not retired.I quit after 5years because the job wa not for me). I was stopped for speeding last summer and basically did what Dom is recommending.I was respectful and admitted I was speeding and didn't deny it. I showed the officer signed PBA cards from family members and also explained that I was once on the job. I was most respectful . The officer told me to wait in the car and went back to his patrol unit After more than 15min I became impatient and made the clear mistake of walking back to his car. When he saw me he blew up swearing at me saying he didn't know who I was and ordered me back in the car. He then came back to the car and threw the ticket in my window . Now this was at 11 AM on a sun and I was returning from a cars and coffee meet wearing bermuda shorts and a tee shirt . I then told him that His computer should have told him that I was a 60 year old ex Cop with a clean record and no arrests. If he was afraid of me he shouldn't be a cop. Needless to say he threw a fit but I already had the ticket It was my one and only ticket ever
 
I don't get pulled over often. Maybe 6 times. I've done everything right and I think I am batting 50%.

Son and wife, probably have been pulled over a total of 6 times between them and they've gotten 0 tickets.

None of us have even been asked if the vehicle could be searched.
 
I must be lucky, the only times I have been stopped, I seem to never receive a citation, must be my award winning personality...........:rolleyes: :D
 
Nobody is searching sht unless they have a warrant.

Fk that.

Go find a real criminal.

I've been stopped twice in the last 20 years. Both times I did all the correct things...hands on the wheel, told the officer where the paperwork was before reaching for it, etc. Both times I got off with a written warning, no lecture, no search.

Did the fact that I'm driving a Grandpa-mobile and I look the part have anything to do with it? If I was a 20-something driving a Fast-and-Furious ricer would I have been so lucky?

I am 20 something and was driving around with open headers on my K5... I got let off. Someone give me an Acura TL and I will tell you what happens. :)

Now I heard differently about searching the car. I warrant is not needed, probable cause is needed.

I've also come to the conclusion people that will not all officers to search the car (not just on this board) probably have weapons or herb in the car... even with permits it can still be a hassle, even with a Foid card.

The closest thing to a weapon I have in the car is a Mag light. They can search all they want.
