Was pulled over yesterday, I stayed upbeat and polite, had my documents in order, no ticket.
Funny, the cop almost caused a head on while fooling around with the computer to run my plate. I had trouble not giggling at the foolishness of that. My tags expired this month, I paid but the furlowed worker can not send them when they are home.

Could that be why I get cut slack?
Becouse I don't cop an attitude, or put a sour look on my face?

I thought all my life it was just the way Alaska cops were, but here I am a stranger in a strange land, not even carrying all the nessisary items required to opporate a motor vehicle, and hauling azz in a rental van.

Is it all in how you present yourself, or just the luck of the draw (all my life)?



Its luck of the draw and other factors I believe.

I've been pulled over probably...I'd say at least a dozen times for speeding, etc. I've yet ot receive a ticket for a moving violation (well, I got one for rolling through a stop-sign, cop was an absolute a$$ too). I've never once admitted guilt, and there have been several times I've returned the officer's attitude right back (my wife was with me one of those times, she was sure I was gonn'a get arrested that time because the officer had such an attitude). Still never gotten a ticket. I'm not talking no 5mph over stuff, I've been pulled over for 80mph+ many times (around here limits are 65 or 70 in MI) and still nothing. I'm now in my late 20's soo I don't think older age had anything to do with it.

Yep it's luck of the draw. Not really the attitude.

For SOME cops I guess it could make a difference, but every time I've gotten a ticket (besides this past event), they knew they were giving me a ticket when they saw me. I don't really get it, but I guess I just look like a complete dbag.
