This is why you don't lie when you get pulled over

This woman got pulled over for speeding, and told the cop she was trying to get to her dying father. Turns out she was lying, either that or she was REALLY late....

1. I lied once when a highway patrol cop pulled me over for speeding.

Many years ago, I had a Thunderbird and wanted to see just how fast it could go. So late one night, I got onto the Palmetto Expressway in Miami and hit the gas. I was going 120 when I passed a highway patrol car. Well, of course, he pulled me over. Fortunately, I was not too far from a hospital. I told the cop that my sister was in an accident and I was in a rush to get to that hospital. He fell for it, but he followed me all the way to the hospital and left when I pulled into the parking lot.

2. Ahh, the old excuse: "My mother died......"

Again.

3. My Aussie buddy tried the "Why didn't you get those other fast guys?" question

Cop: You ever go fishing?

My buddy: Sure, lots of times.

Cop: You ever catch ALL the fish in the river?

4. Why Lie

If he gives you a ticket take it then leave.

I never lied to a cop and have gotten away with not getting a ticket more then once.

5. I wasn't speeding officer.

But I've passed at least three people who were. Why didn't you get them?

6. I don't blame the guy for being upset about getting played

and I even agree that the ticket was probably warrented

but

"This wasn't personal, it was a matter of law. The violation happened in my presence, so I made the arrest," he said.
On Sunday, Cummings went to Williams' home in Nashua and he brought a copy of her father's obituary.

don't try to tell me it wasn't personal when you bring the copy of the obituary with you. The dead guy had nothing to do with arresting her for suspended registration so why even bother getting an explanation if you weren't there just because she made you mad?

7. OT: but a true story.

The son of a friend of mine was rushing to hospital with a work colleague who had had a nasty accident. A motor cycle cop rode up beside him and motioned for him to pull over to the side. The driver pointed to the guy in the passenger seat who had blood all over his face. The cop put on his lights and siren and cleared the way to the (only major) hospital in the area.

Once they reached the hospital, the cop immediately rode away. The driver and his passenger didn't have the chance to say "Thank you".

OT, I know, but many cops have compassion.

8. Why didn't the officer's computer kick out the suspended registration

at the initial meeting?

Did he not run the tag?

[alan_phillips]

9. I don't think he did

because she told him she was in such a hurry, he just checked that her license was good and let her go. They don't always run the tags right away.

10. Yep, she should've said "My dog ate my homework". That one always works.
