Stupidity is not an excuse, thats the officer's life he is putting in danger if he were to allow it.No they shouldn't have gotten out of their cars unless asked to, granted cops run into that a lot and these guys didn't know any better. However he did have proof of payment for the suspended license.
Maybe your right about getting outta the car, but what was I supposed to do, keep going? I was following him in a convoy to make sure the car got where it was going.dude you parked behind a traffic stop, and not just one, but two of you got out of your cars. If you were a cop would you not call for backup? Would you not feel surrounded (which the cop is)? You never get out and tap on the officers glass and bother them. it was you and your boys girl's stupidity that made the problem much worse. The cop doesnt know you, or your boy or his girl, for all they know you all have guns. Your friend got off easily, driving on a suspended is a criminal offense and he SHOULD have been arrested. Walking home is far less more hassel then being arrested, booked, going to court, having a criminal record, and paying court costs.
Convoys are also illegal in my state. You're more lucky than you know.Maybe your right about getting outta the car, but what was I supposed to do, keep going? I was following him in a convoy.
most of the times...yeasometimes cops are assholes
Fixed.There is in my state. But only on the freeway.
He had proof of paying to have his liscense reinstated. If you think that his computer has every up to date record and that some fat *** bish in the court or DMV has everything entered and up to date, you are a fool. Why in the world did they give the guy a printout saying he was reinstated then? If it has no meaning, why waste the paper.dude you parked behind a traffic stop, and not just one, but two of you got out of your cars. If you were a cop would you not call for backup?

So if I am following one of my friends in my vehicle, I can be arrested? Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. I call BS.Convoys are also illegal in my state. You're more lucky than you know.
Techincally yes. But lifting your vehicle or lowering it technically illegal too. One of those things that are not enforced unless needed.So if I am following one of my friends in my vehicle, I can be arrested? Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. I call BS.
I will agree somtimes being a cop will go to a persons head but many things people see as a di ck move is procedure or done to ensure their safety. Your best bet was to keep going. You shouldnt have followed your friend with your hazards on either because then 2 cars were involved rather than one. Just let them do their job and if a mistake was made it could easily be fixed (if it were indeed a mistake) rather than getting in the way, which would cause the cop to get angry or do more than they were goign to in the first place. I have been there man.Maybe your right about getting outta the car, but what was I supposed to do, keep going? I was following him in a convoy to make sure the car got where it was going.
And the cop didn't call for backup, the other cars showed up too quickly. They were there just as fast as I could pull over & park it. We think some driver called the cops on us & they were just waiting for us to come down the road.
Computers and people are not 100% fail safe my man. If a mistake was made and it wasnt the kids fault, then the problem could have been solved much easier than having 2 people get out of their cars behind a cop in a traffic stop.Fixed.

I will give you a hint... IT IS AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT TO PROVIDE PROOF OF REINSTATEMENT!
