Is there an Eskimo privilege in certain locales?

Got pulled over doing 83 in a 50 zone. After checking my license and CCW permit and talking some fishing back in Wis., he let me go w/out a citation.

Told me the state trooper up the road 20 miles would not be as nice.

Ever been surrounded by 7 Sheriff deputies, with the helicopter circling overhead with the klieg lights on, one of the deputies a rookie with an itchy trigger finger on his 12 gauge, while having an 8 moth old. 80 lb, lab/rot/border collie/golden mix puppy on the bench seat with you?

All on a mistaken ID case?

The initial officer said I did everything correctly. He was a bit surprised about the dog though. Never knew he was there until I told him when he had me cuffed and wanted to walk back to the vehicle. I warned him he might get barked at. I just didn't want shot.

Would you have written her up if she'd been smoking a seegar?

Had a CHP pull me over one afternoon...had me dead to rights, speed, oil and dust totally obscured the license plate on the truck, no seat belt, cracked windshield, yada yada. In rooting for my drivers license, I set my NRA card on the hood, he picked it up, well, that's good enough, get all this stuff fixed and slow down, have a good day. It was.

Should have tased her and told her to stop resistin' when she commenced to flip-floppin' like a banked catfish

Being disguised as a gray-haired old man helps me keep out of trouble.

Modoc SO, pulled me over for no license plate lights near my house. Asked if there were any weapons in the car. I told him about the CCW permit and pistol in my pocket. His reply:

"You keep yours in your pocket, I'll keep mine holstered".


That doesn't generally happen in the bigger Cali cities.

I got called in one night for a stroke. My wife had just bought a new Honda Accord, and I decided to take it. Bar close time. My ride at the time was a Nissan Xterra.

I'm taking the ramp from 169 onto crosstown in Edina and was going what felt "kinda fast" to me, what woulda been 75 tops in my Xterra.

I see the lights behind me, and as I let off the gas I looked at the speedometer. It was above 100mph.

The Edina cop comes to my window and I'm hands on the wheel at 10-2, and start off saying I understand I was going waaaay too fast, am in a lot of trouble, but I'm on my way to the hospital to try and suck clot out of a stroke victim's brain and is there any way could I come back after the call-in?

Cop took my license and went back to his car for a REALLY long two minutes. He walks back and asks Dr or nurse, I reply nurse. He tells me it's a good thing I don't have any speeding tickets on my record and that I probably used up my luck in Edina forever: go take care of that patient.

Now I'm in awe thinking there was no way I wasn't at least getting a huge fine. I get to the call parking spots for IR at the radiation oncology entrance, and everyone else's vehicles are already there so I park and start running to the door fumbling for my badge.

As I'm trying to swipe my badge and open the door, I'm lit up by a floodlight like a deer. I'm looking over shielding my eyes and I hear "Mr xxxxxx, it's a good thing you were really on your to the hospital.'

Light off.

Trooper drives by waving.

My best guess is EPD had a State Trooper check if I was really going in on call. Either way, 20 years later I still drive through Edina under the assumption that my picture is posted in the break room with a sign saying "NO WARNINGS!!!!"

They are not all [bleep].

And I still wonder what happens if I answer MD?!?!??

speaking of littering:

Got pulled over speeding in Crystal River FL., do you know the speed limit he asks??? Yes, it's 60, then 55, and now 45...... He says 'you missed the 1st 45 sign'................ I said 'crap, my wife usually points that one out to me' she's in the right seat and starts chewing on my azz............. HE says 'maybe I should write her the ticket'................... that didn't help none.............

He said slow it down and let me go.......... KNOWING that she was gonna chew my azz all the way to Fort Myers...................

Being a decent human being and not smarting off or lying to the cops is all part and parcel of White Privelige ......it must be..blacks don't have it.


Also helps if you're driving a car that belongs to you....

TRUTH! I even zip through Border Patrol checkpoints in Texas. Old white guy driving a clean car with MT plates...they just weave me through...

Man , you sound like family. I've taken that turn from 169 100,000 times. The internet is pretty cool.

So, what about a red Corvette?

So you know how incredibly stupid it was to be going even 8mph over there.

Other than a study group incident in nursing school, it's probably the most luck I've ever had......

Since Ive worked with LE,it is apparent that short succinct answers to their questions don't hurt, they don't need your life story. And yeah, own up. Ive gotten 3 speeding tickets in my life and they all went like this " I got you doing 77 in a 65 zone.."......'Where do I sign?' Simple.

Also learned a couple simple things during ride alongs with our K9 guys...

1. Pull off out of the way of traffic if possible

2. Keep your registration, insurance etc above your visor...DON'T reach into console or glove box for anything...

3. Turn on your overhead light when you get stopped at night so they can see what you are doing as they approach the vehicle.

4. Turn off your engine, throw keys up on the dash, put your hands on the steering wheel.

5. If you're carrying a weapon give them your CCW when you give the drivers license, and let them know...its called courtesy.


If you havent worked with LE, or know the ropes try and put yourself in their position. When I have gone along NOTHING scares me as bad as a routine traffic stop...

Wish I could say the same.

Seems I’m always getting hassled for expired tags, no insurance, driving drunk, or some other BS rule.

I hated it when they changed the seat belt and open container laws in Montana.

Now I gotta drink my beer out of a 7-11 go mug...

F'k 12!
