Instead of risking everyone's lives running or giving him shit for doing his job I just manned up and took my $120 careless driving ticket, no big deal.

On the flip side, I have gotten multiple tickets for what I consider bullshit infractions (police fund raisers), so it goes both ways. Still, I cannot believe how many people will risk their lives to get out of a simple traffic citation. Most of the time cops are not out to screw you until you give them a reason.

+1 for this guy...Is it really worth risking over a ticket?

I agree with pulling over... Shit if u do something wrong MAN UP... so u pay $80-$350 for a ticket but think about all those lives u may have saved if u ran... and why run?
(it was ur dumbass fault for getting pulled over in the 1st place)
there is a time and place for everything, if your gonna b stupid do it on back roads where no1 else is... kill urself not others... jk, dont kill urself, u get my point... ( I HOPE )

I can't stand all these FTP people, its been said before but...

who the fuck is the first person you're calling when your bike is stolen? or your house gets broken in to? Just think about all the bullshit LEOs have to put up with in a day with drunk dudes beating there wives and shit.

everyone has there 2 percenters, but most people have good in them overall.

basically I agree, Man up and don't be a pussy and run and fuck up other peoples lives because you dont wanna pay a traffic citation.

Glad to hear you had a good experience with the police.

I haven't been here that long, but my overall experience with Tampa's police force has been very positive and I am impressed with how many great cops are in this area... I've run across a few dicks, but that goes in any group.
