Did the police ever let you go?

I am so drunk. Yes. Decided to get married (to woman). Open marriage. Friend also got married, yet said engaged & had party. Bicycled home drunk. They let me walk. Miss you all, wish I had more time, Kristal.

Just became a minister. Groovy.

He thought I had only one license plate and needed two. When he walked up close enough to see through the mud, I had Massachusetts plates instead of Maine and only needed one.

1. Headlight out, speeding, tags expired, drunk and stoned off my ass... he said "You better get home before you get a ticket."

2. Headlight out, wreckless driving, tripping on LSD... he gave me a warning for the headlight and sent me on my way.

3. Speeding and headlight out.. Oral warning for the speeding, and written warning for the headlight.

And now that I said that, I probably will be pulled over!

If you mean after getting pulled over for a traffic violation, being let go without a citation... yes. But I've had plenty of tickets over the years, too, because I'm a bit of a speed demon. None on my record now though.

they - Are there other times you've actually gotten a ticket, or are you the luckiest person on earth?!

Let me go on a lesser charge, if that counts.

The police have let me go, both for speeding (in a state not my own) and for tailgating.

Non-driving related: When I was 15, I was 'parked' with my boyfriend, doing all sorts of fun things in the back seat. Suddenly there were all these flashing lights and sirens. Turns out we were parked on private property! But they just took down his information (again, didn't bother with mine when they found out that I was out-of-state), and asked us to observe propriety.

I can't help but wonder if they'd have been that nice were we a same-sex couple, though...

They, I am certainly glad you were not driving in my town anywhere near me or my family members, especially my child.

I always get rapped with a 40 dollar fine. I think it's because when they ask that "Do you know what you were doing wrong?" question I always answer truthfully. Next time my plan is to lie blatantly and cry gratuitously.

Suebee... so many tickets I can't count.. for speeding, and other various offenses. :(

anon: I didn't say I was right in doing it.. I was a child myself.... wait a sec, who are you? your child might have been in the car with me...

they - Good point made to anonymous! I admire you for being honest about your past.

they, I made an assumption that you meant in the present. So if you no longer drink, smoke pot and then drive, good.

SueBee, I wonder if you feel the same way about her behavior behind the wheel if your little girl was hurt or killed by a drunk or stoned young driver?

i've got off several times...once i was drunk (under-age)...other time i had an illegal firearm and illegal trailor on my dad's truck..and the guy was very lenient...told me to get to the house...

anon...we all had some wild(stupid) times as teens...it's as american as apple pie...

I got let go with a verbal warning for a loud muffler. Thanks a lot, guys

anon - I wasn't condoning her irresponsible behavior as a teen. In fact, I remember making a comment similar to yours in a past survey about being glad she wasn't in my neighborhood driving under the influence. I just thought it was a good point that a lot of parents don't know what their teenagers are up to, and would be shocked to find that they were out doing drugs and driving around getting into Lord knows what kind of mischief. I did a lot of stupid and dangerous things as a teenager, and my parents were pretty much clueless.

Ugh. Yes. I have some weird phobia of the police. I wish it would go away.. I think it has to do w/ a problem with authority. I shake and get almost sick when I'm around them.. and for the most part its always played in my favor. I was out one night with 2 friends the driver had been drinking and the kid in the front was known as a current run-away...I think I was just a little high if anything..and i had my back pack with my tarot cards and runes and a few books..etc. that I liked to always keep with me...

Somewhere in the ride the driver decided he wanted to use the bath room.. so we pull up into a jack in the box only to find that the place closes at midnight..and only the drive through was working.. so instead of going somewhere else.. corey..in his infinite wisdom decides just to piss on the side of the car wash next door.. he gets over.. and starts to unzip before he sees two cop cars across the street-- he zips back up.. and gets back to the car, and we pull out of the parking lot and into the gas station next to it.. while the two cops pull in right behind us.

My fear of cops is showing to a hard core degree and it's something i just can't control sometimes. I wish I could. Coery was semi-drink and i don't know what was going on w/ the other boi..just that he was a considered run-away.. the two cops pull them out of the car first talk to them for a while.. do a check on them.. find that the boi is missing.. so they cuff him and put him in the car.. Corey is given the drinking tests... and i guess he did alright.. but they found out that he was driving on a suspended license on a couple d.w.i's.. so they're trying to figure out what they wanna do about that when one climbs into the car and starts talking ot me..'Have you been drinking? Has your friend been drinking? WHere do they keep their drugs.. do you know? We know that they have some.. we just need to know where its stashed.. have you seen them do any sort of drugs.. have you done any? do you mind stepping out of the car?"

I think I was 15 or 16 at the time.. and i did what they told me to do.. I didnt say a thing about any kind of drugs.. and i'm quiet about the alcohol..*of course*.. and they searched me out side the car.. and i was shaking like hell... they dumped out my bag and found my cards and runes.. which reallly pissed me off..and they came to me and started asking questions about them...what do you do with this.. do you throw these rocks at people? One pulled me a side and asked me if i was "wiccan" i said no.. not a wiccan.. but along those lines..and he told me how he had some 'wiccan' friends and that he understood.. and then..within 10 minutes coery and i were on the road again.. I still dont know why. when they found out i didn't have my license they just let him drive the rest of the way since he didn't really seem drunk..

The other kid was taken home and probably beaten by his asinine parents..

I've also been a couple wrecks that i was able to pull out of with out any harm.. (and no one even realizes that they ever happened..)..

The above story just shows how wired I can be at 2 in the morning.. :- P

If you get pulled over enough times, you're bound to be let go on a few of those occasions. Trust me on that one.

I was a teenager, involved with "the wrong element." The police cornered a few of my friends and me in a park, by parking the paddy-wagon and the back-up cars on the road beside us, and driving a car right across the baseball diamond and right up to our knees where we sat on the bench. We stood up, and they checked the drivers license of the guy who was carrying a big knife, checked the other guy (who had a stolen drivers license) for weapons. They did not frisk the two girls who were actually muling the drugs, and didn't even ask me my name. This very convenient because they might have known my relatively uncommon surname because of my mother's position as a very high-profile prominent criminal lawyer at the time. They left us all without any trouble.

They were looking for a friend of mine, but I was the only teen ager around so they picked me up. The witness said that I didn't do it, so they let me go on my way.

Yes! The officer then directed us to the party that we were trying to locate. The benefits of wearing short, low-cut dresses!

They have never let me go. I've gotten every ticket I never deserved.

What did you do, Jen?

I personally have never had a bad experience with the police. I am a law abiding citizen.

Jeanne: O, would that there were a causal relationship between those two things.

drdt....Many law abiding Seattle residents might just straighten her out on that one after the mess during WTO.

When I was broadsided by a pickup truck in an intersection they didn't cite me. That was good, as I had enough to worry about without it, and besides I think it was the pickup's fault (they didn't cite him either). Another time I was driving back from Thanksgiving dinner with my SO and they stopped us for speeding and let us go. I have a dreadful suspicion it was because we were a nice-looking well-dressed couple.

eris - What the heck. Don't knock it when it works in your favor!

Yes, they have let me drive away drunk 2 or 3 times, and they let me take all the booze with me. But, the last time I got thrown in jail.
In this small town in Colorado where I spent a little time growing up, I was given a ride home from my older friend. He was drunk, I was drunk and we got pulled over by the coolest officer in town. Everyone there loved him. Since it was a small town we all knew each other as well. Well my friend the driver was drunk, had no license, no registration and no insurance, but the officer told us just to be careful. Nothing did happen.

Yes, this week in fact. It was a State Patrol Officer...oink

oink??

Go where? I've never been in trouble with the police.
