Pulled out on the hwy leaving work state boy followed from the other side of the rode onto the hwy. Took him about 2 miles to pull me over and ask why I didn't have on my seat belt. I just responded I figured because the state needs more money and i could make a donation. He nervous smiled and laughed took my registration and left to process my ticket no more fishing or other bs. Was polite and explained my ticket and how yo pay it I cut him off told him thanks I know it's not my first and drove off without the seat belt on.

Good cop interaction nice younger guy. I could have been more friendly or tried a bs story or excuse he has heard many time and my response guaranteed my ticket and I knew it. But I have had week of long days and and can't stand stupid questions, just tell me why you stopped me and give me the ticket. Another $25 to the state is the least I can do. Just add that to the 9800 in property and 8k in state and county income taxes and its not even noticeable. At least this was 100% avoidable so voluntary. Sure is not a job I would want to do.





At least I didn't get do you have any guns in the vehicle. I don't respond to that well. Surprised though with the boxes of ammo visible when I opened the glove box

The law in KS is if asked if your armed and you are you have to say so. I never been asked.

It's normal here to get do you know why I stopped you, where are you heading, where are you coming from, have Any guns in the vehicle. OK guns are not illegal, last I saw I don't have to inform but do when asked. I quit giving my handgun permit over with my license yeaes ago. I did it to be nice and let them know I was armed. But the reaction normally went from played back to nervous cop with gun out and me out of my vehicle. So I quit doing that since it was not required.

Where am I going or have I been. None of your business quit fishing, do you know why I pulled you over, you pulled me over you tell me I'm not telling on myself.

I don't have patience for the bs. Tell me the problem Wright the ticket and move on to the next income generator driving down the road.

Your lucky for only $25. I got a seatbelt ticket here and it was $150.Have never been asked if I'm carrying a weapon. Have heard the were are you going or coming from. Answered none of your business/why? This was followed by license and registration sir. Which always makes me laugh because they know everything about you and your vehicle before walking up to it. If the police stay civil, so do I. If they give attitude for no reason, so do I. Civility begets civility. Out in these parts they train a lot of sheriff recruits from the city. They have a hard time figuring out it's completely different out here in the middle of nowhere. So it's takes them a while to lose the citiots attitude and come down to earth. They're a little gung ho to begin with.
I also like to leave the BS and just get on with the ticket. Arguing and bartering seem to be left better for the courts.

I'm offended. I looked at the ticket and it list me as white non Hispanic and male. How dare they assume my race and gender. ( ya probably pops up automatically when scanning my licens in the system) but still how insensitive to my feelings .

Turtle they go up with each seat belt violation. I don't remember the time frame but the next within so long will be 50 then 75 and on up. I just have not had one in a few years. Normally wear it today I had put it on but took it off getting my phone out of my pocket at the light to connect my hands free system. The light turned and I didn't put it back on.

10 dollar ticket here, but it's a bootstrap to get their nose in the vehicle.

1st neither of you seem to be able to read and comprehend its in a post above.

2 it's my life and no one else's and just a method to make more money for the state at best but oft time just another excuse to use to pull people over for a fishing expedition.

3. My scout leader is dead because he could not get out of his seat belt and hung in it tell he died so they also take life's.

4 grandpa I never said anything negative other than give me the ticket and move on it's all about making more money and an excuse to pull people over and ask questions. As far as deserve a ticket you must be someone that needs the government to tell you everything to do and control every aspect of your life. I'm more of a remove warning labels and expect people to be responsible and deal with their choices and results of their actions.

You sound like someone that wants the government to control everything in his life. Pretty sad but there are all types out there.

Just guessing but reaction and body's response to not being used to someone not lying to him making bs excuses and instead being strait forward im tire and get on with it I don't care response not cowering or concerned at all.

I'm much more tired than I thought I fell asleep in the laundry mat room in mom's condo building waiting on cloths in the dryer. Basically I don't think he was used to the I don't give a .... response and body language.

Lol.....years ago I was driving down the street to my house. There was a cop half blocking a T intersection near my driveway
He was standing in the street and stopped me.
PD " Where are you going "
Me " down this street "
PD " get out of here and go home "
Me " ok "
Then I proceeded to drive past the cop as he was stunned and started screaming at me. I went 75ft and.pulled into my driveway , stopping at the end and got out to get my mail from my mailbox. The cop comes running up screaming at me.
PD " I told you to leave and go home !!!!"
Me " this is my house. This is my mailbox. This is my mail. This is my lawn. These are my dandelions ", ripping some out of the ground.
PD " I wanna see some ID "
Me " no. "
Me " if you want , run my plates , you will find them registered to this address. "
Stunned look on the cops face.
Me " you are new here ? "

Cop left with his tail between his legs.......lol

Since we are a true Constitutional carry state I would think all cops would consider everyone they stopped to be armed. I know I would if I were a cop, that might be why you've never been asked. I have never been asked either.

Last time I got pulled over at 330am after work for a license plates light being out( fishing and he admitted it) I was asked if I had any guns in the truck. Again my response was unexpected and the cops reaction showed it.

I just responded matter of fact with absolutely it's southern Indiana doesn't everybody and if not they should. He asked what I had and the location asked me to get out of the truck and stand behind it tell he ran my info. Another 25 Min wast of time. I did replace the two burnt out bulbs a few days after that.
