That was a very informative write up. Most of those things I knew, but I did learn something new. I got pulled over numerous times when I was in recruiting and most times I just got a warning except when I was being pulled over by Texas DPS. Troopers don't have any mercy for the military.

There's a great thread over at IWSTI.com that goes over what to do when you're pulled over. I highly reccomend reading it because it has a lot of details that many people don't think of.
How to manage a traffic stop.

Remember the kid in in grade school who bullied kids for their lunch money? Cops are along the same lines...

Do you think I give a rat's a$$ that you disagree? I was speaking about my experiences not your weekend warrior wingding brother's experience. During my three year stint in recruiting I got pulled over around 20 times while driving my GOV (g-jet) while in uniform and I only received warnings from city and county law enforcement officers while being cited by DPS.
i'd never be that lucky.

dont wanna jinx my luck but i havent gotten a ticket yet and ive been pulled countless times.. One such event I straight up was racing this STi that pulled of a gas station right in front of me ( this is before i totalled my girlfriend in TB) and we raced light to light for about 10 minutes. the cop finally pulled one of us..and of course..it was me..I told him the truth..I just got back from Ramadi Iraq and skated death acouple times so i wanna have fun..He had a tear in his eye when he backed up to paces and saluted me and said his brother died a marine he gives me all the respect in the world. he said slow it down and take it easy and pulled away.

The magic thing to do is to politely ask to be let go, and state your reasoning.
You will be amazed what you can get if you simply ask for it, in traffic stops or life in general

I have been let go two times....but it was not as nice as yours.....it was in my Type-R hahah ROFL...I had just got it....did the California roll through a stopsign and an unmarked police car pulled me over....proceeded to ask me if I was "fu<king Speed Racer"...told me to stop driving like and a$$hole and then told me to go home....
Second time was July 4th....police van pulls me over asks me why I took a 25mph turn at 35mph....I told him I was doing 25mph and that I was watching my speedo because I saw him following me....then he asks where I am going....guess he thought I was driving off to get drunk or something.....then I told him I live a block away....he checks my license and then sees that I do...then tells me to be safe.....
