A question for the cops

I dress like a butch lesbo.

Pic's or it doesn't happen ...

I've never been pulled over for something on a motorbike and then not been ticketed, and most of my male motorcycling friends are in the same boat, but every female motorcyclist I know has had that happen multiple times [edit: well, at least once].

I've been stopped riding motorbikes by cops at least 5 times and never been given any infringement notices or worse. Been let off with no L plate as well when I got pulled over by a full car load of cops.

You're obviously a gay cop magnet.

Or maybe I just don't do stupid shit in front of cops.

You're getting pulled up for not doing stupid shit?

[BoristheBiter]

I utterley disagree.

Youn are obviously are not a tradesman!

Actually I am, also have my master trade, I also employ only tradesman so I do know what I am talking about when I say its got nothing to do with skill or ability.

Random traffic stops and checkpoints. Ride around in the early hours of the morning and you'll probably get pulled over by the first cop that sees you, especially on weekends.

Perhaps I should've clarified my original post, then.

I was talking about being pulled over for an actual infringement and then let off with a warning.

Fair enough. Only happened to me once on a bike and many times in cars.

[GSF]

Exactly. This is why I'd treat any "it fell off" story as an aggravating factor warranting a flinging of the book.

Just man up and say you're riding without it because it's gay.

The only time I got pulled over on my learner's was when I didn't see and failed to give way to an unmarked police car.

The copper pulled me over, gave me a tongue-lashing regarding how fucking dumb my actions were (he was a bike cop) then checked out my bike. He asked where my L-plates were and I decided to stop looking any dumber, I should just own up and say I left them off because they're gay and my friends laugh at me. Copper appreciated the honesty.

I didn't get written up for anything.
