california stop

you guys ever hear of this reason to get a ticket? so i stop at a stop sign for like two seconds and slightly roll through. no one was around except the bacon man with the bright light.
so he pulls me over, pulls up his shorts and says "weellllll lookee here, a california stop HEH HEH"
end result, 315 dollar ticket.
so he says
"here's your fine"
"why is it a fine...I'm not fine with it"
"well then here's your ticket..."
"so where am I going then?"
getting frustrated he says "it's a citation"
"i know...and that's what you should call it"
gotta love language, too bad it didn't get me out of a court date, 300 bucks, and a weekend at traffic school...oh joy!!
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

i dont think cops around here care about that.. in chicago people dont even seem to pay attention to red lights.. so they should be worrying about that before what bike riders are doing

thats not even the worst law. It's also a ticketable offense to ride your bike with no hands on the handlebars. Im not sure if they enforce this, but that just pisses me off anyways

theres lots of stupid laws on the books... it just depends on the cop.. if they wanna be a dick they could probably find something everytime to ticket you on.
cop- " you got a little dirt on your license plate son" dude- " really" cop- " yea, im gonna give you a citation for not properly displaying your tags" dude- " whatd you say? you smoke cock?"

Yea, I got pulled over in driver's training for the same thing. I was in the middle of nowhere, and didn't come to a complete stop. All of a sudden I'm being pulled over. Fortunately, I didn't get a ticket, just a foul-mouthed warning about how "I could revoke your license until you're 21." Yea right.
My Czechoslovakian driving instructor (a total nut) was no help, either, pointing at me and saying: "I told him to stop! I told him to stop!" Actually, looking back on it, the whole situation was pretty absurd and pretty funny.

I can remember seeing on one of those "World's Wildest Police Chase" shows that the act of positioning the police car at the rear end of one side of a fleeing car and pushing it into a sudden spin causing it to stall out is what they call a "California Stop".
My girlfriend just told me that she's heard of it, but like you said, it's when you come to a semi-stop.
Stupid reality shows.
