Casually start picking your nose as the officer approaches. He’s apt to let you go with a warning so he won’t have to touch anything of yours.
Step 2.
Start crying
Turn on the waterworks—the louder and more inconsolable sounding, the better. A crying woman makes people uncomfortable enough—imagine how unnerved the officer will be by a blubbering man.
Step 3.
Pretend someone’s pregnant
Play the pregnancy card—if you’re a woman, blame it on the hormones (assuming your sleek, rock-hard abs won’t betray you). Guys, say you need to get to your in-labor wife. What cop would stop you?
If asked, “Do you know why I stopped you?”—for goodness’ sake, act dumb. True, ignorance is no excuse under the law, but willful disobedience is even worse.
Step 4.
Play the victim
Affect an air of vulnerability and victimhood. End each sentence with “sir” or “officer.” Mumble something about your dad’s bad temper and hint that this will no doubt incite your second beating this week.
Step 5.
Begin blabbering
If all else fails, begin blabbering—as much and as fast as you can. Pretend you’re a professional auctioneer. This has the dual effect of scaring the officer away and tiring him out as he tries to follow along.
The first speeding ticket was issued in Ottawa in 1910 to the Prime Minister of Canada’s wife—for going faster than 10 miles per hour.
Cool video, very practical for many of us out there! Keep up the good work. Norgon - I think Jerry Seinfeld patented that move and it is indeed effective.
You forgot one thing. My favorite stragey is to confuse the cop. Once when I was pulled over the cop asked me where I had been that night and I started to call the places by the names that they were about twenty years ago when I was a kid. The officer was so confuse as to what city I was in that he let me off with a warning.
I think it depends on the cop's personality, and if the department has met their quota for issuing tickets. However, good video and it never hurts to at least try some of the examples used.
tell the cop that you just got new tires that are larger than factory, this effects the speedometer, this work very well if you are in a truck in texas
Here's an idea I've always wanted to try. Keep some fake blood from a costume store in your glove compartment. When the cop stops you, grab the fake blood, and put it all over your face to make it look like you have a terrible bloody nose. When the policeman comes up to your car act really sorry but say you were so distracted by this bloody nose that you kind of freaked and were not able to pay attention.
Seems like it would be hard for the guy to issue a ticket at that point if they have any empathy at all.
