In the state from which I emigrated to Oklahoma, the People's Democratic Republic of New Jersey, that is referred to as "revenue enhancement."Motorcycle cops have one job, and that is to generate revenue be any (rediculous) legal means possible.

My radio was legal (dead keyed at 5 watts but swung 30 on modulation).
Theoretically I could see an officer stopping someone for that if it was a real maggot wagon though.
I think I was pulled over by that same Evel Knievel a year or so back.
I turned left at a large, busy intersection. I was in the intersection during the green cycle, when it turned red and the intersection cleared, I turned. The cross traffic had to wait for me to clear the intersection before moving.
There was that cop setting there, he came forward and made a point of having to stop and wait for me (I was in a 10-wheeler, loaded, and slow). I knew he would stop me. He did.
He tried to tell me I ran the light. I protested that I was in the intersection legally, and had to proceed through.
He bowed up, asked if I was arguing with him.
I said no sir, but if you write me a ticket, I'll beat it. He cocked an eyebrow, and I motioned to my dashcam.
He took my paperwork, and wrote a warning.
Pompous prick.
I did the same thing accidentally playing vehicle roulette. I parked my truck tires 6 inches into the grass for one night and got a ticket. PMTFO! It wasn't the cops it was the city enforcer with the circle flies flying around his head.I had an issue like that for parking next to the driveway as playing car roulette all the time was way beyond annoying. One gravel pad later and no more notices...
(Also helped that I got the gravel for free at the time.)
Yep, that's him.So he's one of those who thinks folks can't question him?
Sounds like a douche.

In Tulsa they can and will ticket you for going thru a YELLOW Light. Biggest bunch of Crap that is purely a Revenue Grabber.
I'm not talking about the light turning red when entering the intersection.
Traffic signals need to be modernized so that the green light flashes for x amount of times before the light goes yellow so the driver can adjust driving speed to either stop or pass thru the intersection. Oh, that would cost money and the yellow light ordinance makes money.

We played CB tag too. How did you guys do it? We would usually be with our dates for the evening, meet up somewhere, agree on a channel then go find a hiding spot for the truck. We would then tell everyone we were ready and everyone else went looking for us. If after awhile they couldn't find us, we would start describing what we saw out of our front windshield. That way they could triangulate and find us. We also did "bushwhacking".
Yep, they do that all over Colorado. Pretty handy so you know when to start braking with that monster RV behind you pushing the rig down hill. Saved my bacon more than once.Up here around Colorado Springs, they put up signs about 1/4 mile from the intersection that cautions that if the light on it is blinking, the traffic light is about to change. It stays blinking until the light turns green again. Works pretty good. If one is doing the speed limit and it starts just as one reaches the sign, one has time to make it through the light.
