Good old Dirty Jersey. How you liken the "land of no right turns", er I mean, "Garbage State"? My first speeding ticket was from a state trooper who popped me for speeding on a back road in Jersey. That guy was a d*ck. In fact, growing up in Jersey and dealing with those crooked ass cops is what made me hate all police.

I've had mixed experiences with NJ cops. One time a state trooper caught me trying to make a U-turn on the highway median. Cop asks for my papers, I fucking realize that I left them at home. I desperately pretend searching through all the garbage in my backseat assuring the cop that it has to be here somewhere. In the meantime my buddy has an oz of nug in my glove box. The trooper then just let us go.
A mix of pure luck and perhaps him getting laid last night.
There've been quite a few times when a Jersey cop could've busted me for a long time but just happened to let me go or slap me with a mere ticket.

I wonder what part of Jersey you live in. I wouldn't say if I were you for security reasons, but years ago I used to live in south Jersey around Woodstown and Paulgrove. Most of the cops I even came close to were pretty nasty is not simply jerks.
That was years ago though. I think it was about 5 or 6 years ago they had that big article in the paper about Jersey being the most corrupt police state. Proud days those were.

They do it here in Bulgaria, i've been here for a month and have seen it a few times. It's very helpful considering the police here are corrupt as hell. In some cases maybe their corruption could be a good thing but in most im sure it isnt. I was suprised to see this tho. I dont do it back at home(in the states)*shrugs* too lazy i suppose.

In what kind of case could police corruption be a good thing?

I do it because I know it's appreciated. I'm thankful when someone lets me know there's a cop ahead.

My uncle got penalty points for going that because the pigs pulled him over afterwards ha ha. I'm in Ireland and when you get like 12 penalty points your license gets taken off you.

1st answer - Maybe since you dont have to go through court/attorney fees *shrugs* i dno. Jail time... just pay and go
2nd answer - Yeh it is nice to let someone know that there is a cop trap ahead.. i heard along time ago you can get in trouble or stopped atleast if they see you flashing(warning) other traffic goers. ...but how are they to know. Next time i see a speed trap i'll flash you

I only flash my headlights if people don't have their headlights on. Your on your own for the cops in my opinion.

You can definitely be pulled over for flashing your high beams to warn people for police. The most common way for that to happen is you accidentally flash your high beams too soon still in the cop's view, or you flash them at another cop on the side of the road
