    Janet, someone pee in your cornflakes today?? Please show me any part of my question that was at all making a big deal out of this. If people think that the post was making a big deal, I obviously have to work on my writing skills. (my original post below in it's entirety)

    In fact, I specifically said "I'm not making this into a big deal".

    First , poop your pants, makes you less fun to be around. If its a lady cop, say " nice nightstick, want to see mine?" that line there will usually get you off. It has failed once or twice. Now if you're speeding and the cop asks "where you in a hurry to?" politely explain to the officer that last year your ole lady left you for a cop and you were scared you " the officer" were trying to bring her back " this can work with male or female cop nowadays". Use these methods and you should be safe. If all else fails finish your beer, throw the bottle at them and get the hell out of there. Please be advised I am not a lawyer and a good lawyer may give you conflicting advise. Good luck.

    First thing is I try to sneakily put my seat belt on, sneakily try to take the radar detector out of the window. Try to draw a few lines in the log book, Take the lap top off my lap, Pick up the phone that was on my ear that I dropped when I seen him. Then If I have time try to deny everything that he seen me do and say it was the other pink truck that had just passed me.

    I was visiting with a NCHP officer and he and I were talking about this, he said the biggest thing is when you get stopped, don't start reaching for paperwork and such, just roll down you window and keep your hands where the officer can see them, he will then tell you want he wants and go from there. If you have a dog in the truck, let them know also.

    In the past few days on TTR, this was at a scale with someone with a hazmat load, make sure the bol is not in a metal file paper holder. The guy got a ding for that, guess they want it if plain visible sight, even while in the door pocket while you are driving.
