Once upon a time there was a rookie cop, 6 weeks out of the academy with a Supervisor at a traffic accident on a freeway in Los Angeles, a pedestrian, which is illegal on California freeways, walked quickly toward the scene. The rookie was ordered to tell the pedestrian to get off the freeway. Immediately upon contact, the rookie was attacked and his weapon was ripped from his holster. The rookie was also placed in a headlock by the much larger pedestrian. Within a fraction of a second, the gun was pointed at the cops temple. Due to the rookie’s previous CQB military training, the cop disarmed the pedestrian and blew the pedestrians brains out. During the next 5 years, the Rookie was involved in two more fatal shootings. Because of a divorce, the now seasoned cop took 12 months leave of absence every other year to earn tax free money in Iraq and Afghanistan. He put his 0321 skills to work. He earned a ton of money, which would eventually pay for law school. However on one fateful day in Afghanistan, he and his teammates were involved in a firefight, in which several civilians were killed. The media reported fake news and the cop was forced to LE. The Chief of Police elected to place the cop in narcotics. During the subsequent 10 years, the cop was involved in two more fatal shootings. Due to political pressure, the cop was removed from Narcs and given a K9. Fast forward to an early Sunday summer morning. The cop, because of short staff, went to work with very bad sciatica pain. The dumbass thought he could do 10 hours, answer his radio and ride it out…..he had a dog. He hit the freeway for a cover call, when suddenly a corvette passed him doing well over 100MPH. The cop whom requested cover, went code 4 and at the same time, the corvette exited the freeway. The K9 cop lit up the corvette and it yielded into a fast food restaurant parking lot at 11:22 AM. Both the corvette driver and cop exited their vehicles simultaneously. The corvette driver immediately attacked the cop and bent the cop, backward over the hood of the police car. The cop, although he had been previously wounded in Iraq, never felt pain like he did that day. I am told, he felt lightening in his entire body. Everyone seated outside (19) at the fast food restaurant pulled out their phones and videoed the incident, but nobody helped the cop. When the corvette driver first impacted the cop, the cops Tazer dislodged and fell to the ground. After what later was determined to be a 2 minute and 12 second struggle, the cop pulled his secondary weapon and blew the head off the corvette driver. Afterward, the cop was mandatorily retired. He now collects almost $10k per month from CalPERS, 60% of which is tax free. He is also a senior partner in a law firm. Once upon a time!

Meet me at Chuy’s Restaurant in Bakersfield CA on the 19th for a Jeep Show N Shine. Not sure about the shine part since most Jeeps show up dirty. But beers are on me for anyone on this thread who shows up. Beautiful Bakersfield CA, some call it the Devil‘s armpit because it gets so hot here. But it’s home of the Buck Owen’s Crystal Palace and the Deja Vu Strip Club with 12 beautiful strippers and one ugly one.

You know, when you spend your life looking through mirrors, you see things backward.




And maybe a little closer than it appears. 🥴
Spent years looking through mirrors I retired with a pension because of them.
Had an Ambulance once cross the yellow and took my mirror out, had it replaced 20 minutes later.

You know my company already gives me a lot of free beer, while I will say not enough for my alcoholic-ass to not have to buy my own beer in between, but I'll never turn down free beer!!!

I guess we need some fresh blood in here to throw up some different points... 🤔

I can also say first hand, you are correct. Bottomline, even if a person is stopped for anything that was not against the law and something against the law was discovered (DUI for example), the report will read, your vehicle weaved slightly, which is justification for the stop. hypothetically, if a person was arrested, even if the entire incident was captured on video and a person can prove the cop made a mistake, it will cost thousands in legal fees. If a person is not arrested and was stopped for an infraction which is not not codified, don’t be a dick to the cop, take it to court. Cops make mistakes all the time. However, if the person stopped is a jerk and lives in the jurisdiction where the stop occurred, the cop won’t forget, so drive carefully.
Yeah- and when you change to a shift that you get off at 2AM you evidently start weaving. It was in my 63 Jeep that of course had wander, but they hid in a small rest area before an old RR overpass (since replaced). The 3’rd time I was stopped for a sobriety test because I was “weaving” in under 2 weeks… “you were weaving step out of the vehicle” am I under arrest ? .. “no, step out of the vehicle” Am I Under Arrest… “Not Yet” this is the third time I have been stopped for weaving in two weeks since a shift change getting off at 2AM, if you think I’m drunk arrest me and give me a blood test…. “Well, it is an old Jeep, drive careful” . Not stopped again.

Basically I went on the main page and saw who was online and just started listing people I saw.

I feel like it was a pretty good plan! :LOL:

We have the same law in texas. Doesn't matter which mirror you have, driver side, passenger side, center rear. As long as you have a mirror you can see 200 feet back with, completely legal! You can toss the other two in the trash if you like! :handsinair: ;) 😍

They're humans, they're not particularly well paid, and they have a lot of legalese to remember. Cut a cop a break sometime? Thin Blue Line? Jesus.
more importantly, a cop ain't pulling you over for a mirror. He is pulling you over because of some other reason, and using the mirror to make it stick
