Surprisingly.

Here is a great example of a man using jedi mind tricks at a DUI checkpoint.

Let the man do his job, answer questions with questions or keep your mouth shut, and be polite.

"I have to answer?" Holds video camera to face and asks name and p#. Classy.

I won't lie though. In a lot of states, cops won't be NEARLY as cautious as those two - either because of a lack of training or because they think they can get away with it. There are also a host of other circumstances that could make keeping your mouth shut a moot point... like if your lips are red from wine and you stink like booze.

Love it. Do not feel bad about exercising your rights! It's not criminal nor shameful. What's shameful is giving up your rights out of pressure and in some cases, intimidation.

I am calm and also glad you did not receive a ticket. Just correcting ignorance on someone elses post.

i was not being a douche....just tired of getting pulled over for no reason...just because i am younge and drive a nice car....i am a working class like most others....i get up a 4 am every day to go to work, and work very hard for my money and all i have is bought with hard earned money, so he was not doing his job, he was being a ***** like a lot of them are...since when does a benz fit the "profile of a Street Racer"???

Since the Officer received a call, have you ever explored the option that maybe the caller provided a description of the vehicle that was racing? Or maybe those "expensive" rims were given in the description from the caller.

natman316

could that be failure to cooperate?

crazy1469

no, i york and peel cops are just *****s, one of the reasons i sold my 930, i would get pulled on a daily basis.....if youre in your 20`s or early 30`s can`t drive a decent car

boschk

No, it can't. You have the right to remain silent. He wasn't pulled over for suspicion of DUI. Checkpoints are fishing expeditions. It's no different than an officer walking up to you an asking for your ID. Without reason to believe that a crime has taken place, you do not have to comply. Officers often times depend upon the ignorance of the public to do the stuff they do. I"m ok if they try, just don't get pissed off when I stand on my rights. That's where the problem begins for me.

Sorry, didn't mean to name call but telling someone that the rims on your car costs more than a year of their salary is belittling them. That **** will get you TKO'd by lesser men.

As a working class man, you should have respect for the work others put in. Respect those that would do what you couldn't imagine doing for such low wages. When you can respect and understand the different circumstances of different people you might start to realize why people are reacting to your comment they way we are.

Treat people like they are people, not like they are a cop/nurse/doctor/firefighter/banker/soldier. I still can't believe you would try to compare another human being to a part of your car because of some loose relation between the price of your rims and their income.

crazy1469

i understand that might have been wrong of me to do so, but it really pisses you off when you are just driving along, minding your own biz and i had my familly with me, and this cop is just being a complete ***....
last year crossing the border from niagara falls canada to state side, they border officer didn`t believe me that the car was mine because i am a construction worker, they took me and my family into the office, held us there for over 2 hrs, and had the dogs and cops seaching my car!!!!

dcjwlee

That's highly unfortunate but also seems sort of unbelievable. Do you live in a particularly lower-class neighborhood where a car like a C-Class would stand out so sorely? Do you spend a lot of time in neighborhoods where such cars would be considered unusual and a reason for concern?

Because the way you're making it sound is that these cops are hating on you because they are jealous of your cars. Highly, highly, highly unlikely.


To your last story, maybe they are just racist? IDK. That's a nice car for a construction worker. I always tell my boss that my car is way too nice for my job title too.


Sweet rims btw.

I can totally stand by this statement! If I'm not getting pulled over Im getting my *** rode by the cop who pulled out once he saw me drive by. I once had the officer follow me for 20 min! -I even took different streets to try and get rid of him... He didn't stop following until I stopped at the Liquor store and went inside I wonder why he was pulling into the liquor store on the job?????

As for your statement about his wage. I don't think you should've made that comment. Being 21 I totally understand your frustrations (especially since literally all of my savings since I started washing floors at 13 went into this car) with police officers and other people driving around on the road as well. Ive learned to just stop and smile if I happen to make eye contact or ignore them altogether. As for police officers I am only upset that they feel they have nothing better to do than to try and ruin my day rather than cracking down on real crime such as drug dealing and shootings all of which are occurring much more frequently in the city. I understand pulling over dangerous drivers/ st racing but com'on just because Im young and in an expensive car?! If Im being pulled over for no reason and not getting a ticket, it really bothers me that everyone is paying them to waste time on the job.

crazy1469

no i don`t, i live in a 500k home...trust me when i tell you that the cops in the woodbridge are are *****s....may 24 weekend, its a holiday here, there is a tim hortons lot where guys gather on the weekends, the closed both exits of the lot, and anyone getting out was being stopped...the even had the ministry of transportation pulling cars off the road

63'd

You either:

A. Suck at driving
B. Have (really) bad luck
C. Both

You let the Police dicatate what kind of car your drive??

boschk

20 minutes? Should have driven to the nearest donut shop.

Ummm, I want to jump in here in a big way, but these are no-win topics. Suffice it to say that I have experienced multiple real-life incidents that have lead me to file formal (read profiling) complaints with the PD's involved. And in the discovery process, you'll find out some very interesting facts...like this. Once a police captain speaking to this specific case told me after a formal request for statistics that at an average DUI checkpoint in his city perhaps 2,000+ cars are stopped for questioning and on average, fifty drivers are ordered out of the car to take a breathalyzer. Well, let's see, I told the LEO at the checkpoint that I had one beer (true) at 8pm, when I was seated for dinner at a well-know nearby Italian restaurant. It was 11:07 when I encountered the checkpoint. I exhibited no visible symptoms of alcohol intoxication whatsoever...in fact I can honestly state I could not feel the alcohol whatsoever, and I HATE an alcohol buzz. I like the taste of beer or wine but I have always hated getting buzzed so I generally avoid it.

The LEO ordered me out of the car for a breathalyzer test. When he looked at the reading he said "I never knew this could register such a small amount of alcohol. I've never seen it read so low...you can go." Let's look at the facts. I'm in my brand-new M5, with a beautiful blond woman in the passenger seat. In the back seat is her husband, a newly-minted MD. My freshly waxed M5 is shimmering in the night rain. And... this is the big "and"...we're both non-white. You put two and two together. Is this profiling? But this is the state of modern policing. IMO it's "stereotype and profile." And wait until you deal with the issue of police investigating themselves and then having to kick it to the next level, and the next level and so on. But that's what I do by personality type. I'd like to flesh this post out with how I REALLY feel but...that's it.

+2........
dude should get off his high horse huh?
it's people like that who make the race look bad.....the human race....

So the important parts of this story: You drank alcohol, drove through a checkpoint, got stopped (maybe because your breath smelled of an alcoholic beverage?), did not blow. 00, and you are upset?

bhamg

Whatever dbag, just keep turning around and bending over,

Don't get upset because I removed the BS from your story. Does the truth hurt?

jacob502

If I were in this position. I would take his badge number and immediately visit the Police department immediately and inform the head of the department about this pathetic issue.
Dont let them do this to you. Cops are all douchebags. They love exersizing thier power when we make the simplest mistake (that they daily do). Therefore, make sure you do the same to them when you have the chance.


I swear to god I made a cop beg on his knees once and kept asking me for forgiveness
