Pulled over by a cop on the bike..sigh.

Wow. At least he was looking out for your "Safety."

You know, I have always dreamed about getting a speeding ticket on my bike. Some day...

What an idiot.  "I almost hit you so I thought I would pull you over and blame my inattention on you.  Have a nice day!"

Well, I guess your yellow safety shirt did it's job and "saved" you from him anyway.

That is so lame.  Sorry that happened to you. 

PS - I also second Renee (especially the strikeout words)

The highlight of my weekend was going 40mph past a Speed Limit - 30mph sign.

And something tells me the officer involved isn't a regular participant in the World Police and Fire Games.

I wish the cop was there the time I got in an accident.  One rainy night in March, I was on some local road, following a pick-up truck in front of me.  Suddenly, it stopped and I rear-ended him.  Turned out a biker, in fluoresence green outfit, was coming from a side street, decided to cut in front of a car in front of the pick-up.  Seeing the green thing dashing out, the pick-up driver slammed on the break.  With my vision blocked by the pick-up, I didn't know anything and hit the pick-up.  Green biker went away.  Pick-up had no damage.  The front of my poor car was smashed and my insurance premium is going to rise next year.  I was a step-9 safe driver..

Do't remember if I had posted this story before.  Sorry for the duplicate if I had.

Did his eyes look a little "glazed"????   LOL! 

Care to share the phone number of the police station????

Hey, don't get donuts involved in this downward spiral of reputation.  The more I think about it, it's MORE likely the cop was bent because he DIDN'T have that mouth-watering, fried cake of heavenliness slathered in o-so-perfect vanilla or chocolate glaze that particular morning.  Look for crumbs from a peanut butter clif bar or a bowl of grape nuts - this sort of breakfast would piss anyone off.  You can go right ahead and assume that this is our cop's issue.  

Um...Kendall...BTW...that blows.  But in the end you won the battle and the war, and you're free to commute in your blinding shirt up blanding without blending in.

I have to say I too have been pulled over by a cop when riding my bike, but it was about 12 years ago when I was just a young kid. I was just 11 years old and went through a stop sign without stoping full and it was just a ride around the block. So he pulled me over and told me to get in the car, I was so scared and then he decided to get out of the car and he wrote me a ticket and I had to go to a class or go to court and pay a fine. So I went to class!!! (oh I also got a ticket for not having my bike registered??)  Anyway just thought I would share the classic getting pulled over story!!! Needless to say my bike was registered and I followed all the rules!!!

GJ

um, Blanding Boulevard?  Would that be on the base, by any chance?  You can get pulled over for anything by MP's. 

In this case, he should of been a really hot cop.  Those MP's are hot.  Especially the uniforms.  I like uniforms.   .................

Now, now. The majority of posts here are all in good fun. People need to be able to make fun of the occassional questionable but ultimately harmless judgement call that any cop can make for the simple reason that they are human, and despite all the training in the world, the noblest of intentions and a true sense of caring and responsibility for one's fellow man, the same cop can also make a not so harmless judgement call.

Being a productive, law-abiding member of a civilised society requires placing incredible power and trust in a lot of people you've never met. This type of humor just makes it easier to accept.
