Most of the people I pull over can really use this policy. If I get nervous about what they are doing for my safety (driving into glove boxes, making sudden moves, etc) and then trying to deny what I observed (I only cite and pull over if I absolutely know a violation occurred) then a ticket (or tickets) get handed out. A five minute traffic stop saves me from hours working an accident, that's my policy. If I pull you over in short fashion for a similar offense, honesty or not (lie or argue) there will be at least a ticket. I figure you took advantage of my generosity at that point.
Hard to select on this one. Most have come in cars, like driving my 62 Chevy II with the straight axle and 425 hp big block Chevy, complete with fenderwell headers, down the highway circa 1968, and getting pulled over by the Michigan State police. Never even offered an excuse except "We just want to look at your gasser. Hope you don't mind"
Best one on a bike was when I first got my Honda CB92R Super Sport Racer. First Honda over-the-counter race bike. I tried to ride it on the street by sticking tomato soup cans over the megaphones, and punching holes in them. Still loud with the rudimentary baffles. Going down the street when a cop pulls in behind me. I coasted as far as I could, but got stopped at a traffic light, with him stopped right behind. Trying very hard to keep the rpm and noise down, I pulled away from the light, only to suddenly hear a loud BOOM, followed by a rumble. I had blown off one of the soup cans. Needless to say, I got pulled over. Cop takes me back to his car, and points to the headlight that broke when my soup can hit it. The ensuing ticket was inevitable.
