That's what I have a sportbike for! Hard to carry a lot of drugs on that though....Quote:

First thing out of your mouth if you get pulled over should be, "So what's the bag limit on Colorado tags around these parts? "
Ill be using that one given the opportunity. hahaQuote:

WY. I was following a local (who was pulling away from me) on a small back road middle of nowhere outside Pinedale. Sheriff pulls me over, not the local who was going faster. He Didn't really harass me. No ticket. Just warned me for going 5 over. I thanked him, we were on our way.
SD. Cruise was set for +3, cruise let it roll away downhill. The officer Didn't harass me, asked if I had a weapon. When I said yes, he said "cool, that's allowed here" he admitted he caught me rolling downhill, didn't sweat it too bad, warned me,I thanked him, he went on his way.
CO. 35mph leaving town. School zone.(high school). I was obeying posted speeds, forgot about the zone. Waved to cop as I passed, he pulled me over and asked why I was going so fast...I suppressed my natural reaction, thanked him, and went on my way. $250 ticket and my insurance is up $400/year.
TX before pot law. My speedo was off, I had cruise set for 78 in a 75, pulled over for 81. I thanked him, He warned me and I went on my way.
TX after pot law. Trooper headed in opposite direction whips a u turn, pulls me over for "dirty license plate on rear". Proceeds to grill me with a barrage of questions.
Where you coming from?
Where you headed? Oh, the oil rigs, those boys love their dope, you bringin em some? Got any pot? Those oil boys love their meth, you sure you're not running them some?
The kicker? I drive the speed limit to +7, do my best to obey posted limits in towns. Hardly ever drive +7 (at night, open straight road, no traffic) mostly I drive +2 to +3. I'm constantly being passed by people in city limits, yet I'm the guy who gets pulled over. 5x in a year.

That's why radar detector are for.... Haven't been pulled over once since I started using one 6 years ago.Quote:

I had blankets over the top so as not to alarm people that passed me on the road but I made dang sure I wasn't going over the speed limit ...Quote:

I'm going on over 2x that length of time w/o a ticket since I started using radar detectors. If I get pulled over and get a ticket I sure as shit will know why I got one too though & won't post on forums acting clueless.Quote:

Always fun telling them obscure ways they can and the "border check point" you have to go through now, complete bull shit but it's fun screwing with morons.
I had the same experience as the above poster. Went to Casper over the memorial day weekend did the speed limit didn't drive crazy and had no problems at all. Saw cops all in the other lanes opposite of our direction of travel. With all the hype I was half expecting to have to port like I would driving a semi and get a shake down but no such issues.
I have one, useless. False signals all the time, so its wadded up in the boot.Quote:

If you buy the proper one (read: no false alarms) & use it properly (read: let someone else speed a ways up in front of you) your likelihood of getting a ticket reduces dramatically.

Yep. What he said. First thing to do in our state and vicinity: disable K band EXCEPT in State or National parks.Quote:

But frankly, I don't pose a threat and there's no way he's searching my vehicle. If for some reason he did get permission for a search I would inform him.
Happens a LOT in a few small towns in Texas. Edibles, extracts, tinctures, concentrates, and hashish are all felony charges, even for a miniscule amount.
What are the laws in WY, ID, UT for carrying a legal CCW and being pulled over? Do you have to inform in those states? I've been looking around and it seems that is detail that isn't usually catalogued in CCW reciprocity tables. Got a trip planned for the summer.
Idiotic.Quote:

Think that's idiotic? Get caught in Texas with a few hash brownies, they weigh the brownies and charge you with that amount of hash. Some college kid is in the news facing LIFE imprisonment over a tray of hash brownies right now.Quote:

Drove to Devils tower then Sundance and Deadwood. Only saw one WY Highway patrol car in 2 days.
Just got back from a long road trip to Lake Sakakawea. We saw a number of State and county cars but had no issues.
Only timeI got pulled over was when I have more than 2 sheep in the bed of my pick up,
and taking them back into CO....

Bring back older sheep and you'll be okay :DQuote:

Good to know, I'll be heading there next month!Quote:

And let me guess, you stopped and picked up trash from the side of the highway for the next 10 miles.........[LOL]Quote:
