THIS. Thanks Paul. I bet they are more just over there in Saudi Arabia than they are here. Again, thanks for the support.
Again, I ask, all the scoffers in this thread: Are you or any of your relatives LEOs? I don’t expect an answer.
Can you also click a button? Like, the multi-quote button that we’ve had since last September’s upgrade?
I, for myself, can’t say that. I can say, though, that if I were in a position where my clothes might be stolen if I left to get more change, I’d probably think to, you know, bring the clothes with me.
Really? Reverse psychology? Haven’t seen that technique in a while. And so subtle!
FTR, none of my relatives are reverse psychologists.
Well, I was young and Naive. As far as the multi-quote button, I haven’t really played with it! Sounds good, will give it a try. There are so many doo-dads on the screen that I try to ignore the things I am not using.
Not reverse psychology. Just a trend I notice on this board. You will get nitpicked for everything but your main point, which often never gets a response.
Your main point appears to be that cops are assholes, or specifically, assholes to you. People have been either agreeing or disagreeing with you, usually based on their own experiences with LEOs, or with you (hey, it’s the Pit). And now your next tactic is asking if people are related to any LEOs? Seems you’re the one who’s nitpicking.
Hey, cut him some slack. If I waited 3 minutes and 0 posts for an answer and STILL didn’t get one, I’d be in a pretty defeatist mood too.
I drive a dirty car, obey the law, and I have never been ticketed for any moving violation — although I have been pulled over 3 times. None of my relatives are LEOs. I also never “dress down cops,” insist that I know my rights, demand to know why I’m being pulled over, or act in any way obstructive. Lest you think I’m a stay-at-home driver who has not the vast experience you claim, I have driven across the U.S. from Washington to California, and from California to Tennessee, in a van with Canadian plates.
In fact, I’ve never been in the vehicle when any member of my family was pulled over, except once — I was in the car when my uncle was pulled over, clearly for speeding.
I can’t help but come to the conclusion that you are either unlucky, unpleasant to the cops, or both. It’s hard for me to swallow the concept that all cops are evil bastards looking to screw over the little guy and that I (and everybody else in the thread) happened by sheer coincidence to miss all of them.
The douche is stong in this one.
In all fairness to Stan Shmenge, being pulled over for having a dirty car in Irvine is the most believable story in the OP.
There’s this thing called soap and water. I’m sure they have some of it in California, although they may have to pipe in the soap from somewhere.
Again, in the spirit of fairness, you admitedly don’t wash your car, Fish.
In the spirit of fairness, a dirty car has never caused me to get a ticket, either. If I were being pulled over regularly for “driving a dirty car” I would find the time to wash the fucking thing. 
Please scan and upload the citation which lists “having long hair” as the reason you were ticketed.
How many times did he say he was pulled over for driving a dirty car?
My wife got pulled over in my old beater truck in Irvine.
Once they approached the vehicle (hands on guns, though holstered) and realized that they had stopped three middle aged women they relaxed. The official reason? The tags were expiring in a few weeks (though not yet).
I have only once dealt with a bitter officer, but even then he let me off (issue regarding the legality of a left turn from a parking lot leaving a Ducks game).
I have been let off many times, due in no small part I think to politeness to initial responses. This includes blowing through a stop sign at 2:00 AM on a Saturday night/Sunday evening.
**Stan’s **descriptions of police activity certainly can happen, but IMHO represent less than 1% of all cops. **Stan **- stay out of Vegas, your odds stink.
How many times did he say the cop said he was pulled over for a dirty car? Once.
What are the chances someone is not related to a random 1/12 of the population?
Huh? How many ducks in a cup of tea in China?
If one in twelve citizens is a cop, we truly are living in a police state and it is all over. Welcome to Prison Planet. I was reading a book of “facts”, answers to questions posed to the NY public library, that claimed that 1 out over every 10 grocery dollars is spent on Oreo Cookies. Not believing that one either.
