How To Get Just A Warning!

[3 AE]

The LEO was pretty cool in my book. Warning: mild expletives.

Hehehehe - pretty funny video. I would have wanted to hear the engine rumble as well.

That was pretty cool.

Reminds me of the last ticket I got on my Harley. Pulled in for gas and a FHP trooper decides to write me a ticket for my ape hangers being too tall. At the same time he's writing, a deputy sheriff is on the other side of the bike admiring it asking me where I got the exhaust because it sounds badass. I deserved the ticket, but I couldn't help but chuckle at the two different attitudes being displayed simultaneously.

More decades ago than I really care to think about, I got pulled over by the CHP. I was running right up against the clock, and I was heading back to Camp Pendleton from "Cinderella Liberty" in LA.

I was in a 1972 Dodge Charger, and he wanted to check out the engine. I'm doing my very best imitation of a polite and thoughtful motorist, whilst imaging what my First Sergeant is going to do to me if I'm a minute late. Finally we slammed the hood down, and I took off. Signed back in with about 4 minutes to spare - whew!

I loved that car, it would pass everything but a gas station. So I can definitely understand the cop in the video wanting to hear the turbo.

That was pretty cool... and sounds like it was right down the street from my house!

Funny as hell.
When he asked if it was in park I thought he was going to ask the guy to pop the hood.
So nice to see a non cop bashing video. Seriously. This guy represents 99.9% of all officers.

My agency wouldve slapped my peepee for the language....

We'd never dime you out.

Nice! That interaction will go a long way strengthening the bonds between the police and the local community.

I agree. In all of my interactions with law enforcement, I have been very fortunate. My buddy and I were on a ride and he got pulled over for busting a wheelie through a toll plaza (so the camera couldn't read his plate) and the cop exhibited the same mentality as this guy. I was utterly shocked that he didn't get body slammed off the bike when he came to a stop, but the cop was probably utterly shocked that he actually did come to a stop.

ETA: He did get a ticket though. $1,166...ouch!
