    A 50yr+ guy with an e92 M3 has been taunting me for about 2 blocks on my way to work.
    We end up racing at a roll and hit about ~90mph in a 35mph zone before he pulls into an on-ramp for the fwy and I had to go straight in order to go to work.

    I slow down since he's gone and seconds later there are 3 police cruisers behind me.. lol.
    Cop asks me what in the fuck, and why I was racing.
    I tell him the guy was taunting me, I'm sorry, yada yada and try to be nice/sorrowful(I'm scared shitless coming to terms that the car IS going to get impounded/hood-popped).
    Asks me where am I headed and I tell him work.

    He let's me go and tells me to not pull that shit again.
    I think because I was wearing a suit is why he let me go. I'm 21.

    I have since then keep a light foot.

        Got pulled over two days ago for following too close because some dick decided to come to a complete stop in the far right lane because he wanted to cross the left two lanes and turn. I slow down pretty gently with tons of room to spare and next thing I know the cop who had been following me around for miles without any reason decides that's good enough and stops me. I laugh and say traffic was crawling a 10~15mph, Following to close? Checks my papers and issues me a warning. Sure thing boss.

Dude said I didn't even attempt to slow down. Never gotten off with a warning... I guess cops just don't like teenagers
            Or maybe they don't like people rolling through stop signs or speeding?

              Why the hell were you doing 75 on a school/neighborhood street??

              First one is meh, not too bad. You deserved the second one, rolling a stop sign and almost stopping is one thing, 10mph through it is another.

                  Oh yea sorry. Got pulled over one time around 1am on a bike with no lights, cop asked me some things, I was polite ("sir") and told the truth, told him that my parent's didn't know I was out and I was with my girlfriend, he called my house but my parents didn't answer...let me off after a little persuasion. He was kind of a dick though. He made sure to shine his super bright flashlight DIRECTLY in my eyes the whole time.

                  I've never actually been pulled over in a car.

                    lol exactly what I was gonna say..everyone posting in this thread isn't supposed to be doing what they're doing, regardless of the extremity of each law-breaking move. but I digress
                    I get pulled over quite often for loud music and exhaust, but I'm let go with a mere slap on the wrist. #fuckingyolo

                      In my defense, tg318is did it too and his post was the last one i read before posting so it was kinda on my mind.

                          when I bought my first car and driving it to home, getting panicked by
                          extremely sensitive clutch, misfiring, engine dying when idle, etc etc.

                          I made a left turn at the wrong intersection. cops pulled me over
                          (before I got out of busy intersection and stopped at the safe side of the road,
                          I stalled it twice) and he was slowly walking towards me and I just realized that
                          I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. so I gently and quickly grabbed the seatbelt and put it on.

                          Anyways he said he could impound the car for not being safe for the road and stuff (I had temp plate at the time)
                          but he just gave me a ticket for left turn.

                            You're right, but blaming the situation on your age, not actions is a little naive.

                                Calculator broke while studying for physics exam. Sped to Walmart for new calculator. Got pulled over. It was my first encounter with the police (17 years old at the time) so I was nervous as hell. As I pulled out my insurance from my glovebox the cop noticed that my front license plate was in there. I explained that the bracket had just broken that day (which was true) and I would fix it asap. He didn't care much for my explanation and gave me a $106 ticket for no front license on top of my $200 speeding ticket. Too pissed to study any more that night. Scored 60% on the exam...
