okay so i picked up some food tonight (troys) and im gonna leave the drive thru when i see a cop go by and im like ok whatever its a cop..i turn right on glendale ave and i see the cop gets on my *** then hits his lights and i pull over. he comes up to my car and hes like this your car...im like uh yea...he goes where are your plates..im like the car is brand new less than two months...he goes okay sir step out of the car. so he pats me down make sure i have no weapons and hes like ok sir please sit on the curb..he ****in calls in the station and sends them my vehicle identification number and after sitting there for like 15-20 mins the guy goes alright its clear...then the guy says alright were gonna check your car and im like wtf...so he goes through and there isnt anything and hes like alright your free to go thank you for your cooperation...basically i sat down on the curb like a drug dealer, really embarassing all because i 'had no plates'. i know they are doing their job but theyre taking it a little too far. At least i think. I knew they had a bad rep before but this was just unbelievable. Are any other areas this bad? btw i have no mods no nothing, just a radar detector and i dont think he even saw that, i believe he just looked at me as he passed by as i was waiting to turn into the intersection.

 

I hate that...happen to my few times with my other car..... this might help... next time you go to DMV to take a license picture put your right arm out to the side with your middle figure stickin way up... so next time you get pulled over for this kindda BS, you know wat you were doing.... j/k

 

i'm no lawyer but that sounds like bull**** to me. next time get his badge number and call a lawyer. He had no probable cause to pull you over or even search your car.

 

What time did it happen? I live a few blocks away from there!

 

He cant just search your car. If he said is it ok we search your car then you gave him authority to do so. Unless YOU dont say YES he cant search.

And he definitly cant go into the trunk and glove box without your permission.

This has happened to me before and i got really pissed at the situation and the cop was like can we search your car. Just to be an @ss because i didnt do anything wrong, i said do you have a warrant? Biy did he get pissed, so i sat there for another 30 minutes while a higher ranking cop arrived. He was questioning me and so forth, then after another 20 minutes of finally figuring out i didnt do anything and i was just going home, the cops let me leave.

 

Welcome to CAli same here in Burbank, you'll get pulled over for nothing.

 

Unfortunately this seems to happen more in the suburbs. Cops in the burbs sometimes don't have much to do so they spend their time messing with people like us just because they are bored. I work in Manhattan Beach and I once saw 3 cop cars respond to a minor fender bender accident like if a murder had just happened. It was the most ridiculous thing that I have seen. My house in L.A. gets broken into and the cops didn't bother to show up until the next day. LAPD is so busy that they literally won't respond unless some dies. What a joke!

 

I'm with you all the way on Glendale Police man...I live in the Valley, but whenever I go to Glendale I have bad experiences there. I remember one time some friends and I drove over there for dinner or something. We got pulled over and they pulled us out of the car, patted us down, and made us sit on the curb in the same manner. Then they searched the car, we didn't know any better and let them. Very embarassing experience. And the last time I too my car there I got a tint ticket, they are some B@ST@RDS if you ask me...

 

it happened around 8-9ish? somewhere around there

for the other posters, thanks for the sympathy haha...yea he didnt search the trunk or glove box...ive heard of their bad rep before but this was just ridiculous and embarassing

i see people everyday with no plates...but i guess young male gets a little more attention

 

I drive by there coming home from work at about 6 PM. Whereabouts do you work?

 

I am used to cops being dicks to me. I grew up in the Rampart area. I am 26 bald and mexican. So you can do the math. I worked in glendale for 4 years. One day I got my friend pulled over because I was not wearing my seat belt. The cop pulled us over got us out of the car and searched it. The cop ended up giving me a ticket for the seat belt and let us go. After getting an extention to pay the bail amount, I payed promptly. You would think this was the end of it right? Wrong. Months go by and after a misunderstanding at a club. I get arrested for having a warrant out for my arrest. What was it for? Unpaid seat belt ticket in GLENDALE! I had to spend all weekend in jail and miss half the day on monday cause of the damn glendale P.D. clerks who didn't do their job. How do you like them apples?

 

Dang...I better pay for my fix it tickets!!! I have 2 that I never payed for that was like 1 1/2 years ago. Completely forgot. Warrant time! FAWK

 

i live in glendale and the PIGS here are MOT&% FU#@rs they pull you over for no reason. they pulled my causen over they didnt find anything after searching him and his car for 20 min then they give him a ticket for a CROSS that was hanging on his rear view mirror and they tell him not to be crussing the hole day or else they will pull him over. MOT*^ FU&^ers.

 

I notice that cops lately have been being punks. I had LAPD follow me to 3 blocks until I pulled in the drive way at work. Then the busted a U turn and left...damn biacthes

 

I got some Yoshinoya at around 1:00 AM once and there was a peace officer in his car stopped in the number two lane facing west at Chevy Chase and Central. As I passed him heading east, I looked at him and kept friendly "eye" contact with him. He then turns around and follows me from Chevy Chase and Glendale to my house. He stops in the middle of the street in front of my driveway as I pull in and park. I grab my food, get out of the car, wave to him (as if saying "thank you for getting me home safely.") and go inside my house. He was gone by the time I finished eating my food.

Going to work one morning I get pulled over by a rookie for "having my front window tints too dark." The tints were 17% VLT plus he was wearing sunglasses. I get the tints removed and go to Glendale PD to have them sign in off. Real nice guy talks to me about the G and how he wants to get a Z. Didn't cite me for having no front plate.

Another night I was going to the store to pick up some salsa. It was a saturday night at about 10:00 PM and I have my dog with me in the car sitting on my lap. I'm a little irked because the neighbors across the street parked their extra van halfway blocking my driveway and I had to angle out between their van and a car parked in my driveway. So I'm driving along southbound on Glendale at a brisk pace, make a quick right onto Los Feliz and right before I get to Central I see lights a-comin'! I pull over after Central just before the Vons entrance. When I come to a stop, I turn the car off, roll down all the windows, turn on the interior lights and drop the keys outside the car. He says when you throw your keys out the car like that it makes him think that I'm a criminal. He picks up the keys hands them to me and asks who told me to throw the keys out like that. I tell him that I just wanted to make situation as comfortable and safe for him as possible. Then, he asks me where I'm going. I try to tell him with a straight face that I'm just going to Vons to pick up some salsa. How pathetic, right? After that, he said to slow down and have a good night.

Glendale PD isn't so bad after all!
