You shouldn't get drunk and behind the wheel in the first place, but if it does happen, cooperate with the officers.  No sense in making everything worse than it already is.

Denial is the best defense in driving violations.  The policemen must improve their methods to identify the culprits.

the legal system is fu*ked up, police can stop a one on one fight and shot one of the offenders and say it was self defense, but the other person is unarmed. that's not self defense. i know people wonder why do black people say fu*k the police cause they abuse the power we the people give them. i live in indianapolois, and you'll see 6 cop cars pulling over one black man for a driving violation. so many cops get shoot here and some deserve it. if a man is getting arrested and the cop is putting handcuffs on him now keep in mind the man is not resisting then why do you need another cop to go and put his knee in the back of the mans head, if seen it so man times and if we were to say anything they would arresr us to. and we don't have time for it. and as far as the court system is concerned if they don't have a strong case against you then they would do what you explained to makle the case sound more fu*k up they wouldn't even take into account that the police tried to kill you in order to stop you, in my state they wouldn't try to shoot your tires they would try to run you of the road or make you crash into something and please don't step out of the car with your hand behind your back cause they will shot you in a heart beat, IPD is a bunch of scary little boys hiding behind a gun and a badge they act hard and talk shit when their suited and booted, but outside the uniform they stay in the house i know a few of them.

The answerer at the top deserves a good whipping.  Not to mention, they are risking  both their employer, their insurance company, and themselves a whole lot of $$ if they did accidentaly hit someone.  What an idiot.\nI think its mumbo jumbo.  People get stuck in traffic after a hardf day at work (or on their way in to work, where they will get in trouble if they are late).  It just builds up and builds up  day after day until they explode.  But to call it a syndrome is just another way of passing the buck- its not MY fault that I got out and beat up the 80 year old driver in front of my for going 2 miles an hour under the speed limit officer, I have the road rage syndrome!  What crap

They wouldn't make you surrender it physically, but they would ban you from driving for a certain time, and if you are caught doing it anyway, there would be bigger rouble pronto. Hope that demystifies it for you?

Yes they should.  They are officers to, no matter what their position is. They are still wearing a badge and they are still there for our protection. They have to know the law to so shur they should be able to give out tickets.  Be easy on them, just imagine being outside in the strange weather to give out tickets because of people parking wrong. Sorry to hear about the ticket. At least it doesn't show on the driving record.

I know what you mean. I told a cop to move out of my way once and he started barking orders at me. Stupid sobriety checkpoints.

If they find the car and have a lead, they'll follow it.  You don't have too much say except to express your belief that you are willing to press charges and will be willing to be a witness, provide evidence as necessary, etc.  And if you feel the police don't investigate or the D.A. doesn't prosecute, MOST jurisdictions have a police review board or an ombudsman that you can voice your grievance to.

I don't understand the people who say the cop will be mad at you.  Believe it or not he/she will not take your traffic issues personally and you will not be shot at for crying out loud.  (*By the way, if you are ever at gunpoint, that is not the time to use your cell phone to call your lawyer*)\n\nIf you are really interested in your safety, have numbers to your local city, county and state police offices in your vehicle or in your cell phone.  These are good to have anyway.  Also, many people don't know their own license plate numbers, have that written down as well, for the dispatcher. Verify the cop is real with the dispatcher.\n\nIt would also help if you got to know who the cops are.  Schedule a ride-along so you can see the cop's side of things or just stop by and meet some of them. That might help reduce your fear of them a little.  They're just people after all and they probably have kids just like you that they want to keep out of harm's way.\n\nAlso, best way to deal with cops is to be honest.  Most of them understand being pulled over makes people nervous.  If the officer is in plain clothes and you still don't feel comfortable, you can request a uniformed officer, within reason (manpower).  Most officers will probably even let you use their phone.  \n\nI hope this helped, keep up your good driving and don't believe everything you see on tv.

If you don't have a full license then your insurance is void. Therefore if you are caught then you will immediately receive 6 points- with the new laws that means you will be banned from driving for 2 years because you will be classified as an inexperienced driver. \n\nIt is also a criminal offence and can carry a hefty fine and even prison depending on the circumstances- i.e if you were to have an accident and kill someone then you wont see the light of day for many years.\n\nThis is even if it wasn't your fault, because that fact is that you haven't proven your capabilities as a driver so its automatically your fault- just like drink driving.

Why the hell would you pretend you didnt see him? all that is gonna do is cause further problems. The excuse never works... the officer knows you saw them, and can get you for evading arrest. Do you want to add further problems onto what was already done? They might be pulling you over for something simple like having a taillight or tag light out, and you avoiding them will add a ticket or jail time to a simple warning. You need to remember something.... we all have jobs to do, and police officers are no different. They are simply doing their job, and aren't set out to ruin your life. Yes, they do have the power to screw everything up, and there are always some crooked cops out there who will take advantage of the power, but almost all of the officers are simply following the law. They see you break the law, so they enforce it. Its really that simple. If you are speeding then they might just give you a friendly warning to slow down- remember that traveling at excessive speeds puts not only your life at risk, but the lives of those around you. The laws were created to keep us all safe and living peacefully amongst ourselves. If there were no police officers, this world would be in complete chaos. Just remember the next time that you are getting pulled over that the officer has a family, and understands where you are coming from. They deserve as much respect as the next person- more, in fact, in my opinion because they carry the weight of everyone on their shoulders. They protect and serve... thats their motto and they follow it. now i'll step off of my soap box...

Well since you did not give us any facts to go look at other then your opinion I don't see how that qualifies for much. Sounds to me like you are attempting to speak for the whole world when you say, "The police show up in force using Gestapo tactics scaring the crap out of most people.... This cant be good.". \nOnce again simply your opinion.\nWhy would society have an innate fear of law enforcement. Some people and it sounds to me like you are one of them are easily intimidated by law enforcement personnel and if so I suppose that might scare you but the general public is not.\nLess then one percent of Police Officers Nation wide are corrupt. That leaves 99 percent that are not. if police show up in force perhaps there is a reason for it or an Officer Safety concern. i assure you however Police do not always show up in force. On a barking dog call you will be lucky to get one respond to such a trivial matter but yet the public demands it. they want the dog quiet and the police become the SPCA in that case. When a child runs away from home the police do not storm the child's residence and use Gestapo tactics on the family, so once again you are wrong with your generalized statement. When someone's car gets taken in the middle of the night and the Police respond and take a report and enter the vehicle into NCIC so it might be recovered for you they don't storm your residence. When it turns out that you didn't pay your car payment and your vehicle was actually repossessed instead of stolen they do not issue you a citation for stupidity although I am sure some would like to.\nWhen a child drowns in a swimming pool and a Police Officer is the first on the scene and jumps in and drags the child out while the mother screams in panic because she does not know what to do for them and never took a course in first aid or CPR and the Officer revives the child and all live happily ever after, and yes, that time the Officer did storm the place like Gestapo to help the child with out stopping to remove the 125 pounds of body armor and boots and gun and belt and now a department radio he has to pay to get fixed but just dove in without concern for his/her own safety \nPolice Officers do a lot more then what you seem to think. But heck maybe we don't need them. Here is an idea maybe you will do all the things for us they do and what would be better is if you would do it for free.

Totally stupid...and no, I have never done this.  If you aren't smart enough to operate a gas pump properly, and this isn't a hard task....my mom taught me at age 14.....then you shouldn't be driving either.  It's obvious that lack of concentration is involved, and that isn't a safe person on the road.  Either that, or they are drunk...and that is a no-no and stupid as well.

Drink a lot of water (bottled), don't drive (u might lose your car), beware of thieves and cops (both are the same in some places)

It is much safer for two officers to be in a car for many reasons:  back-up, two pairs of eyes, two whom can call, etc.  As a cost savings idea, many communities have limited one officer to the car with tragic effects. For example, an officer in our community was gunned down last year and had no way to call for help as it all happened so quickly, and he was out of his car.

Cops have priorties and are very busy most of the time. I've always thought it would be fun to carry an air horn in my truck and when one of those losers pulls up next to me I could lower the window and blare the horn at him.

They will always be there. Even if it's 20 years back or more. It will never leave you and it shouldn't. Don't operate a vehicle while you are impaired.
