We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

You know, I'd never thought about that before. But it makes total sense.

I've heard that they are taught this in Police school.....
Make the decision before you get out of the cruiser and talk to the perp...

Do you know why I pulled you over?
Was it because you thought I had doughnuts?
Selling tickets to the policeman's ball?
The state/county/city ordered you to help raise revenue?
Was it because I am banging your wife?

Short story about a stop of me by a MSP Trooper.
Failure to use turn signal while changing lanes is the infraction.
Me: (Hands at 11 & 1 on steering wheel with DL/Insurance cards in hand)
Trooper: "Sir, Do you blah blah blah."
Me: (Looking at the trooper with what I hope is a friendly smile).....silence.....
Trooper: "Sir, Do you blah blah blah."
Me: (Looking at the trooper with what I hope is a friendly smile).....silence.....
Trooper: "Sir, DL & Insurance please."
Me: (Hand trooper both).....silence.....
Trooper: (Goes/comes back with ticket).....silence.....
Me: (Accepts ticket).....silence.....
Trooper: "Sir, have a nice day and please use your turn signal in the future."
Me: "Thank you Sir."
Why talk when your talking will not help you if you have infracted the law.

That is why one should always carry and use a voice recorder.
Remember to try this at your own risk
There was a comedian who used the doughnut variation. He had a box of doughnuts on his lap. The cop asks "do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Because you could smell the doughnuts?"

I worked as city PD in Montana for 10 years before going federal. As you would enter town from the west, you would come down from an overpass going from 55 to 35 it was common for drivers to maintain their speed for nearly a mile before slowing down. Generally, we would not cite for speed unless they were more than 1/4 mile past the 35 sign.
I stopped a driver doing 60, 1/2 mile beyond the 35 mph sign, and being a smart ass, When I approached the driver I said "OK Sky King, let's see your pilots license" The driver looked at me with a quizical expression and handed me his BRAND NEW PILOTS LICENSE that he had just recieved. He was on his way home and so excited about getting it he was not paying attention.
All I could do was congraulate him, ask for closer attention to speed and send him on his way. The lesson here was for me.

Now THAT right there is funny!
Or you could, y'know, use your turn signal properly in the first place and not have to waste your time getting pulled over or dealing with a ticket.....
Just a thought.....

New forum rule: You can't use the word mash before 6:00pm on a thread visited by scotch drinkers. Dammit, now I'm thirsty.

I do now. Especially when I turn into the cop shop (local, county, state) and drop off a short video file of cops not using theirs. Along with the video file I provide a little note that states that I presume that they are responding to a call to justify not using their turn signals as perscribed under RSMo.Now THAT right there is funny!

You have excellent taste in scotch my friend! If you ever get the chance to try anything over 18 years, I highly recommend it.

I have about 1 fingers worth of Laphroiag 30 that was given to me by a friend.
Still can't bring myself to drink it.

I like the Quarter Cask the best, but between the 10, 15 and 18 I prefer the 10, maybe I'm weird. Anything older I've not tried, but I will when I have the chance.

This is OCDO. If you can't see the wall through the vaporized fog, the horse hasn't been beaten enough yet.

I prefer Glenlivet and have had their 12 and 18. The really old ones are so very smooth. Thunderbolt, Scotch was made for DRINKING, don't let it sit and turn to poison. Once the bottle has been opened it can't sit for too long or it'll spoil. I wish I could afford the Glenlivet 18 or older but I'm lucky if I can afford the regular Jameson.
