I got pulled over yesterday for speeding. The officer asked to see my license and proceeded to tell me to "slow it down." I was dumbfounded. I thought all cops were arrogant, righteous, assholes. This guy was just like you and me. Who knew?

Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

EVERY cop does an attitude check once you're pulled over.....have the correct respectful attitude, and lots of times, a break will be considered.....
OOh OOH Pick me, I did
In all honesty most cops are cool people, I may be one some day (Right now lookin at federal but I do like CO so I may stay) and I don't plan on being a dick, but being that job that it is I'm not suprised to see LEO's hardened by the job and the redundancy of seeing someone drive a 2 ton SUV while drinking coffee, adjusting the radio while talking on their cell phone and swerving in the lane and nearly hitting a moto then asking why they are getting pulled over!

You never know what kind of cop you're going to get when you get pulled over. The same polite routine affects officers differently.
Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not. I haven't been on the best of luck with Douglas County lately.
I have been pulled over several times by cops. Most of these times a person with a cell phone called in a crotch rocket cutting people off in traffic or riding wheelies. My bike is red and I have a black jacket. (I just described about 50% of all motorcycles on the road). I do play but only on back country roads with NO traffic and not in town or on the highways, so I had a big attitude with the officers that pulled me over and of course these incidents the officer didn't witness and once I got my point across I went about my business. Most officers want to ask twenty questions and I stop them rightaway and ask them twenty questions right back. I do not like macho cops! DO NOT admit to anything, because officers usually don't write down your statements right and these can be used against you. It is always best to not say a word, just hand them your paperwork.
Remember cops deal with people all day long and they are trained to ask the right questions and to get as much incriminating evidence as possible. Be smart, this is america and you are innocent until proven guilty.In my examples above: cops do make mistakes by pulling the wrong person over.
Okay, this has been eating at me for a long time. I am older, I am a retired Fed, I am a disabled veteran from the '70's. I say all that so you know I am average looking older guy who doesn't have a 'tude. I was taught to respect and trust police.
Have you seen the video of the Iraq vet in CA getting shot while on his ass and begging for his life because he was a PASSENGER in a speeding car....six or more cops kicking and hitting a SUSPECT in PA....5 people in Greeley involved in a MURDER, the only one that wasn't a cop or working for the PD was the victim! I have been pulled over for 10 mph over the speed limit while passing and both times the cop screamed at me before I even said anything, I didn't run, pulled over at once, had ALL my paperwork. I rarely speed, even on the Ninja. The so-called investigation these LEO's did was horrible and they treated me with contempt and poor manners. Once my wife and kids were in the car and the CSP made rude comments about THEM. My kids were 10 and 8 at the time. How do I explain that? Now, whenever I see a cop I either pull over and wait for them to clear the area or slow WAY down, just in case. I am contemplating if I ever get pulled over again, I will call 911 for backup before I get shot or beaten! FWIW, all the Larimer Sherif Deputies I have met were awesome and professional. The CSP is horrible, condesending, not willing to listen, arguementative and rude, they scare me!
I'm sorry to hear that... sounds like those cops were the the wimpy kids in school who became officers of the law for the power of authority. Try bringing a tape recorder with you. It might make for some intersting evidence when you contest in court.

Recently I was pulled over twice by the police both times by the CSP. The first was up near Aspen, the cop had thought that we had run a red light because the light on his side had turned. He was nice to us and asked us if we had in fact run a red light, of course we said no because we didn't he believed us and gave us a written warning, which I still think is crap but hey its better than a ticket, we even BSed with him for a little while. The second time I was coming home from work getting onto I-76 from Wads and the cop pulled me over for speeding but he couldn't clock me so he didn’t give me a ticket. I was wearing my leather but no helmet (long rides I wear helmets, to work and back I normally don't setting in traffic gets to hot with a full face helmet on). He was nice just saying to slow down, that he wants me to get to my destination safely.
I would say from my experience that if you pull over right away, turn off your bike keeping your hands on the handle bars or tank, be courteous and answer questions truthfully then most of the time the cops seem to be nice back. This can very of course.
Last time I was pulled over, the cop spent the whole time telling me how he wanted to get himself a bike, and he just kept checking it out, glad it was clean!
By the time it was all said and done, I was telling HIM to make sure and take a safety course! Real Jedi mind control shit...
HE GOT WEEED!
Cops are people doing a job. They pull you over when you do something illegal. Don't get caught doing anything illegal. If you do, man up and except it. Don't be a little bitch and try to convince them they do not know the laws.

Yet you read AND posted in them all im sure. Telling everyone to politely bend over for Johnny law when he shows up with his badge...
Not all of us are turned on by a man in uniform.
In honor of George Carlin:
"If you ever get pulled over by the police, be sure to tell them 'I pay your salary'. They like that, it gives them a chance to thank you."
"Any time is Miller time? Oh yeah, how about traffic court?"
[Judge] "You where ticketed for weaving in traffic Mr. Carlin. How do you plead?"
[Carlin] {cracking open a can of beer} "Weaving?! Shit your Honor....I can't even knit."
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
Some cops you can be as polite as possible and theyll still stick you with a ticket...
Yeah, that'll happen when ya break the law

There is NO reason to yell at people. They is NO reason to make comments about 8 and 10 year old girls. There is NO reason to threaten a citizen or try to intimidate one. There is very little reason to shoot people in a defensive postition or gang up and whip ass on people........all the above assumes a standard traffic stop of a person cooperating and having their paperwork....yes they have a job to do, so they better do it right.....in my job if I was wrong people (lots of them potentially) died, just like doctors, nurses, firemen, pilots and many more. There is many times NO excuse, and after many years of respect for LE, it is slowly slipping away courtesy of the bad apples. Zero tolerance doesn't work!
take your helmet and gloves off? i got pulled over in a group and a few of the riders left their helmets on the whole time and it seemed disrespectful to me.
Good post newbie -- hey can I stay at your place in the winter?
Like I need your support
I got pulled over. I turned the bike off took my gloves off & put my hands on the tank. When he walked up to me & started asking me questions I asked him if it would be alright if I took my helmet off. He said "oh sure!"
If you take it off I've heard there's the threat it can be used as a weapon. Just ask and they'll let you know what they'd prefer as I'm sure most cops are different.
Just be respectful and remember that if you're wrong, you're wrong. If you've got a good reason, then you might be able to state your case, but you were still wrong at some point.

3 most important things:
1)Keep your hands visible
2)Never admit to anything
3)Stay calm, be respectful
