What to tell the irate policeman?

Assuming everyone on this site drives somewhat aggressively, I imagine we all have our encounters with the man. Thankfully the only attention drawn to my F by the cops so far has been appreciation. I suspect it is only a matter of time before I get caught doing something bad. Not the rolling through a stop sign bad, but either racing, speeding, weaving, etc. Of course I have all the proper credentials, local PBA, NYC PBA, etc... but not a real contact on the right side of the law. Have any of you guys been pulled over for outrageous shit and gotten off? If so, what works, what doesn't. I know some cops are all business, and nothing will work even if you are the brother of the chief of police, but in my experience most want to be talked out of writing you the ticket, or worse. Any thoughts?

"Officer, can you hold my beer while I get my license and registration?"

Works every time

Or, instead of officer say ocifer, mix the F and C's up, works like a champ

my cousin flashes his military id and gets off almost everything. got pulled over one time after a night of drinking, and the officer told him to go to the denny's accross the street and drink some coffee for couple hours, was scared shitless but he still got off... i've seen him get off at least 4 tickets also when flashing the id... i need to get my hands on one of those

Doesn't work so well when you are in a military town though. It works only when I am outide of a big military area.

I know one thing that does NOT work: calling the female officer "sir". She didn't take too kindly to that!!

It was too late anyway, already had the ticket in my hand!

BTW, why do they always ask:
"Do you know how fast you were going?"

He** yeah I know!! and I would have been going faster if you hadn't pulled me over!!"

LMAO... yeah I wonder why they always ask that.. very curious myself too.. never had a speeding ticket.. ONLY moving violation I had was running a yellow light but the cop claims it to be a red.. so whatever didn't bother going to court because the cops in that district were racist towards Asians.

I know quite a few cops in my area just outside of L.A., and the majority of them have a built in "safety zone" of MPH over the limit where they'll let most people slide--guy I talked with 2 weeks ago said anything over 50mph in a 35mph limit zone and you're toast. I realize 50mph isn't exactly flying, either, but maybe that'll give you a general rule of thumb to use in the future.

Drive fast, take chances...keep your Escort 9500ci ON!!!!

Nothing nicer than when my Escort says "Laser shifted."

I had my car fishtail slightly when I hit a slick spot in the road with wet tires (out of a car wash) and was written up for "reckles indangering". Yes, that was the way it was spelled out on the ticket. Sweet.

My attorney was able to get it reduced to excessive vehicular noise. If I would have left the ticket my insurance agent said it would have increased my rates significantly.
