Awesome cop

Can u rly go to jail for speeding over there?

And not only in USA

but only in usa police officer can behave like this

they re usually dumb in every country but not psycho dumb

excuse me? I've experienced shit-talk a lot worse than this in Germany.
Also, I guess you've never been to the US anyway.

shittalk - yes

psycho shittalk - no

and yes i was in both usa and ger and id rather kill myself than live in the states and im fucking honest as never before here on esr

americans have seriously injured brains

i can only compare them to polish christians

Dunno why you're representing Israel with these types of comments.

Someone I knew said they were put in a cell for the night in texas for speeding.

I think some remote parts of teh US cops have their own little rules in the outback.

All sound a bit "Deliverance" esque to me.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.... ding.

You can go in Switzerland too :P

LOL. Hall of Fame post, so happy you turned out to be from Israel.

oh hai thar american

I wonder how long until you get nuked IRL?

nevar :3

hmm maybe the iranians have the same amount of abc weapons as the iraq had ;)

well you better stop starting shit with your neighbours

:DDDDDDDdd

What did he say? :D

you do realize people can pick flags from whatever country they want?

Like as a random example, an idiotic American picking a Swedish flag.

Just about everything in this forecasted for gay porn scene to come

Lol, I'm with the cop on this one. He gave him a stern warning and let him off, I think that's fair. And that last line is ingenious.

lol.

I have been in a car that was stopped for over-speeding twice in USA so far. Both of the occasions driver was an Indian, however cops were not hostile at all. Guess he was having a bad day!

that's cause you're ethnic. they're not allowed to be hostile towards ethnic people.

not red indian ....zzz

I'd call you a moron but since you're ethnic I'll just shake my head in disagreement.

Didn't the driver have to pay anything for driving 28 mph too much?
You have to pay >1000$ and license taken for a few month for that here.

Thats only in Switzerland. Almost everywhere else they can let you off with warning or you can bribe them. Not to mention that in Poland if you get caught driving without license, you have to pay around 125eu, so there are people who continue to drive even after losing one.

that streifeneichhörnchen was pretty cool after all letting them get away with just a verbal kick in the nuts :>

ASS HURTING

stupid speed limits. pussies.

Free Autobahn for free citizens!

lol he left him off though! i guess he had a relative killed in WW2 but now zee germans arent the nme! teh talibans are!

haha

hhaha waht an ass that copper, "in my country" shut the fuck up. At least he just took the thrash talk, instead of being a smart ass. Wise choice, when the cop had a bad day.

would be a great intro to a gay porn movie, just saying.

That's kinda scary, given he was caught doing 98 right?

taken from my journal here a few years ago....
By the looks of it this was in cali too (though he sounded texan)!

Must say the cop was much nicer to me. I love how the cop went from hard-ass to complete c**t when he realised they were German :).

Me and him would probably get on well yeeee haaa.

I don't think you get it, you are letting your latent hate for Germans get in the way.

He was actually taking the nice route, he found out they were trourists, he was aware that they are used to driving at such speeds.

He had every right to pretty much end their vacation there and then. Yet, he let them go with a warning. Nothing wrong with scaring them a little to make sure they won't do it again.

Maybe he got so angry cause tourists are harder to give a ticket to? I don't know but the cop was a douche nonetheless.

I jizzed in my pants. I thought he was going to rape me in prison.

you will get violated

Overall, I think he was pretty nice considering the guy was going almost 30mph over.

what vo0 said. if this guy was north american he would have been busted but it totally wasn't worth the cops time with all the paperwork involved.

should've just taken the guy's passport and given him a ticket. he pays, he gets the passport back.

yeah i dont think its quite that simple

tis in europe. they either take your car, or your passport if it's a rental and return it upon payment.

harsh

why?

And also wrong.

It's not like that in Germany, they rarely even stop you, they just shoot the picture and find you afterwards.
Same as the Swiss and the Dutch.
They will also send the forward letter with the fine to other countries. An American told me that one of his subordinates got a letter from Germany to his home in the US. :P

Of course, if you don't pay whatever they sent you, they will put you in jail if they stop you in their country (usually only in the next two years).

Haven't been caught in other Western European countries, yet, or know anyone who has, so I couldn't say what they do :D

I have heard the Romanians do confiscate passports when people can't pay right away, which is a why a Romanian i know had two passports so he could keep driving :P

I saw a flash every time on the way to Mainz every time, I think somewhere on the E3 (is that from Arnhem->Overhausen?), happened every time at the same place so I think it's a camera checking for speed or something? Never received anything

yes A3 is from Arnheim to Oberhausen. According to this site: http://www.verkehrsinfo.de/index.php?menuselect=2&UIN= thre seem to be fixed radar traps between Oberhauen and Mainz. ,

And if it was, maybe the pictures didn't turn out usable (no number sign in it) or another car blocking the way.
Or it wasn't even you who sprung the trap. Could also be that the amount you went over wasn't big enough to consider it worth the trouble. I couldn't say.

All I can say is that I know dutch people who got mail from Germany, and Germans who got mail from the Netherlands.

/e

also, a quick google: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread....ID=1834182

Arnhem, not Arnheim.

Oberhausen, not Overhausen.

Touché.

why would the Romanian police confiscate the passport of a Romanian driver?

also you can pay the fine on the spot without extra complications ;)

what my colleague told me, is that his dad did have enough cash pay the fine on the spot, so they took his papers to make sure he would come to the police station and pay it later.


But now that I think of it he might have said driver's license instead of the passport :/


Anyway, another colleague found out that pulling out a business card that says "PETROM" on it works, too. Didn't even have to pay the fine O.o

Bit xenophobic but don't get why people think the cop was in the wrong.

the "autobahn" line is very common when a German is caught speeding while abroad.

Firend of mine who was an exchange student in Rhode Island and got cited, but there was the reference to the Autobahn.

And another German got caught while driving after a few beers drunk. That would have been a real problem, because he cuold have been expelled from university and sent back to Germany for that. The cops know, told him and let him of with a very clear warning.

So, I wouldn't call any of that xenophobic. Just a cop who knew what he was doing.

Just raging because we have zee Autobahn and he doesn't

-Then why you're driving in my country?
-It's not YOUR country, sir; it's for everyone

-And why you're goiing 98
-What do you mean why

-You know what happens bla bla
-Free rape time?
-Ass be hurting for a month
-I know it's not pretty

==================

I know I sound tough on the internet, you just play stupid but obey the rules and dont get too wise, it's his fucking job he's not adolf hiler or whetever

Once I was working in CA finishing a project, and on my very first week I was pulled over. It was late night, I was driving very slowly looking for a parking place, and perhaps I was suspicious for the cops.
I didn't know the rules and I attempted to to exit from the car to ask the cop what did I wrong. Both cops jumped out from the car and took cover behind the doors, both took out their guns and pointed at me. Yelling "stay in the car, stay in the car!" and "put your both hands out of the window now!"
They yelled very loud and angry, and .. iirc I got a bit scared about the guns:)

Seing as your were at the brink of being shot a little scare is alright.

The weird procedure when cops stop cars probably stems from the slacking gun laws still I am amazed every time I see that on tv by how stupid it is. I bet more people get killed because of this artificial dangerous setting then are saved or whatever

I like how he said "you weren't following nobody." my English teacher teacher would sure like it as well.

I don't think he meant ass rape by that last phrase btw, maybe he just meant guards/other inmates would rough him up.
