I've been pulled over in Colorado Springs more than anywhere else in my life.

I got pulled over for make a turn to fast. WTF, eh?

I got pulled over because the cop said I was weaving. I was driving my 76 F-100 in fog so thick I could barely see 100 ft in front of me. I was going about 20mph or so IIRC.

Speeding twice, first time no ticket. Next week after same cop, speeding again, this time ticket.

Pulled over driving my friends SI with exhaust unhooked. Cop saw that I was the only white one in the car, my friends were drunk and let me go with a warning and fix-it ticket. When he wrote out the warning and all, he apparently wrote down all of my information wrong on purpose. There was no way he could of gotten so many things wrong by accident.

Been pulled over for driving at a late hour. He wanted to know what I was up to and ran my license and tags.

Pulled over becuase my turn signal bulb burned out. Twice in the same night about ten minutes apart. By CSPD and by the Air Force cops. Actually the AF cops couldn't get to me in time before I got out of my truck and they were pissed about it too.

I believe there was another time or two but nothing that sticks out in my mind at the moment.

I've pissed off or encounterd about every security guard that the dealerships in the Springs have and all the Wal-Marts have.

A few years ago when I had my mod'd out Grand Cherokee (Swazo SR...may he RIP ), I was on the last leg of a road trip to Moab that stretched into Colorado. My muffler got ripped open on some rocks, while crawling a bit.....and aparently a V8 is loud and crappy sounding with that "mod".
I didn't make it far before I got pulled over, but luckily he was diggin my Jeep After BS'ing for a bit, he advised me to get it fixed

I didn't think Colorado cops were bad at all

The first time I got pulled over was when I was doing my driving for driver's ed. I apparently didn't yield enough entering the roundabouts in Avon, CO.

The second time, I was going 70 through Glenwood Canyon. The speed limit is 50, and apparently the cop followed me for 2 miles before I noticed him behind me. That was the summer after I got my license. Only got a verbal warning because my sister and her friend were in the car.

The third time, I was going 70 in a 50 going down highway 58 to Golden after work. I didn't realize the speed limit went from 65 to 50 and the cop nailed me. Paid $170 for that one and 4 points.

I also got pulled over once because my license plates were out. The state trooper just let me know and let me go on my way.

I haven't really had any bad experiences with the cops around here.

I almost forgot that I got pulled over on headed for a chemistry test. I was doing the speed limit ahead of the cop and then the lights went on. I was like
Apperantly, he noticed my tire was getting progressivly flatter. Stupid screw . He even wrote me a note explaining why I was late for the test. I guess score one for the CSP ?

Yeah Boulder cops are the worst. They even have these non-cop hippy police that give tickets to parked cars without emissions stickers. I grew up in Loveland, and I drove a 79 ram charger in HS, got pulled over all the time, but never got any tickets. Loveland cops are complete a-holes when it comes to teenagers.
