thismorning me and my dad went to drop off our jetski to get worked on we left it there and just took the trailer home like 30secs. after leaving we heard the sirens it was an unmarked car:rolleyes: he told us that our registration for the trailer was expired but my dad told him we had the other sticker at home so he let us go
ok now here is the stupid part when my dad told him that we were just coming back from the dealer around the corner to drop it off he was like "what was on that trailer a quad or something?" this is when i almost burst into laughter but i had to hold it in so he didnt give us a bunch of tickets for laughing at him when we pulled away and we immediately started to make fun of him :blah
i dunno how he thought a quad could fit on that tiny trailer, but hey, hes an idiot!:devil just thought i would share myfuny story for the day

It's really not all that stupid of a question. Have you seen some of the dumb stuff people try to haul in cars/trucks/trailers? He's a cop and he sees dumb people everyday. I work in the ATM industry and we had someone try to steal an ATM and put it in the trunk of a Pontiac Phoenix (like a Cavalier). When he was caught he tried to say it was a washing machine. We had someone else think they could take a truck and drag a 4000lb. ATM away. They managed to tip it over trying to use a forklift to pick it up. The general public are imbeciles and the cop is forced to ask stupid people stupid questions (not saying you or your father are stupid).

Yeah, its amazing what people will put in cars. I know this guy that put his yz125 in the back off his volvo wagon to go riding. It was really funny seeing it on its side and hanging out the back of the wagon. Wish I had a picture of it:p

So what, if that was the last time you were gonna use the trailer, put the sticker on the plate anyway. Then you could transfer the plates to the new trailer, and they would still be valid.

its pretty crazy what some people will do! I have seen 2 snowmobiles in the back of a short box truck before... Just think about it, one doesnt really fit it... Go to www.bored.com (I think) or just look up dumb crimes etc and look at all the stupid people and just wonder!

Thanks for using your time to again start a Cop bashing event over YOUR OWN Laziness in properly affixing the correct license tab to your trailer . You are lucky he was NICE to you and didnt give you a FREINDLY reminder on how to display your tab . I didnt think him asking you that question was such a big deal to post a COP BASHING about but obviously you felt it neccesary to do so .
I wish you had some idea how much training US Stupid Cops go through these days to have our Jobs that help protect you The Public . Do you want to face people armed with knives and guns who want to do harm to others , I dont think so . Do you want to work midnights and weekends , i dont think so . Put yoursef in our shoes before you start bashing us .
I am not angry at you I just wish Cops were not Bashed just because were Cops . We are people to , People doing a Job for the public . true there are butheads in Law Enforcement but there are Buttheads in every line of work .
I hope you had fun attacking Cops because as I am sure you will find out some Day we are some of the best Freinds you can make and WE ride to .
Have a nice day and press hard on the dotted line the third copy is yours .
some cops are dicks u can tell when ur polite and there just being a arsehole
i dont see the funny part in the story let me sum it up u dropped off a jet ski...cop pulled u over and asked if a quad or something was on the trailer? sounds like a legit question, that cop ws prob on the radio saying shahhahaha what a bunch of dip****s:devil

lakota for ur info i was not bashing cops i was bashing this one particular cop i am studying to become a police officer i have great respect for them and some of the things they do anyway please dont tell me that this cop wasnt stupid because later on i found out that my uncle was pulled over by the same cop (yes i know quite a coincidence) my uncle was driving a tractor trailer the cop immediately started questioning him about a small club that he had in the cab this was the tire bumber in the morning u hit ur tires with it to see if there is air the guy wouldnt believe him this is a common tool in trucking and that cop should have known that finnally my uncle showed him the manufacturers seal where it said tire bumper and the cop finally backed down
so please Lakota dont tell me this guy wasnt an idiot:rolleyes:

To partially quote Guy's avatar I see "dumb people".
Honda if you are studying to be a police officer then you should have some sort of clue. BUT obviously you don't. His question was absolutely legit. I have seen quads hauled, towed, and transported on everything under the sun.
BUT you decided that you wanted to look cool and had to come on here and tell everyone about being pulled over. Did it make you look cool, bashing that officer? Maybe to the younger crowd, but you looked like an idiot to the rest of us. Stop trying to look cool and leave it alone.
We all get along here quite well. Cops, attorneys(Ben), construction workers, business owners, blue collar workers, etc. SO why spew your BS? Leave your garbage at the door.
Also the tire bumper and any other object can be constured to be a prohibitive offensive weapon. It depends on the legitimacy of the item to the surroundings. AND I have seen the tire bumper used as a small weapon that can inflict serious injury. So once again, a legit question.
Ray
btw-if you haven't figured it out I'm a stupid cop.

I do know about stupid Cops myself . see I am a cop for the last 12 years . I grew up on a farm in the country and I have did lots of things and seen lots of things . well we got a new breed of Cops coming out of the Academy these days , these boys aint never hunted , camped or killed even an animal but they think they can shoot a Human Being if the time comes for them to do so . They also have no mechanical sense , in that I mean half of them will not even check our cars oil, air or wiper fluid , they take it to the garage saying they dont do such things . i Mean give me a break . we are getting about an 80/20 split of sissy boy types to normal guys . I do know the type of Cop you are talking about cuz I work with some of those types . I mean my 9 year old Daughter has more sense than they do . Most cops coming out of the academy cannot describe a car enough to tell you what kind , make , model it is . Some I work with can describe cars back into the 30s and they are in their 30s , thats my kinda cops . you might not believe this but the best cops are Farm boys who have hunted and worked on cars and are MOTORHEADS . They are just easier to train up rather than these momma raised em in town bunch we have , I mean they are worse than you can imagine and I bet thats the type you ran across .
My main problem is what difference does it make to him what you were hauling , i see no relevance to his question . The deal with the club is a no brainer , he must not have stopped any truckers before . The deal with truckers is they have to use those handily designed TIRE CHECKERS as a weapon since our wonderful politicians dont trust a man with a 200,000 truck full of God knows what cargo that could be stolen to carry a firearm with him . I mean thats stupid to me . I would never arrest a Trucker with a Gun unless he was commiting a Crime with it . Well I am done griping now . Ya'll should come ride with Me , Ya hear .
