So, me and my buddy (who is a NYC officer) take a trip to Ikea yesterday, as he wants to pick up some furniture, and I want to get a coffee table. I'm driving home, and he tells me to get off at an exit, as it's quicker. I was driving rather fast (78mph, as I will find out), and as I'm on the exit ramp, I get pulled over.
Officer walks up to the car, asks for license, registration, insurance, and as I give it to him, my buddy tells the officer he's an off-duty officer in the city, cop turns to him and says, "that's good for you," and walks back to his car. We can tell right away this guy is a stiff-***.
So, the cop asks me to get out of the car, and asks me a few questions:
Him: Why were you speeding?
Me: No reason, just going home.
Him: From where?
Me: The mall
Him: Why were you at the mall?
Me:....I was at Ikea
Him: Why are you going home this way?
Me: Well I usually go another way, but he (my friend) told me this way was quicker.
Him: So he told you to get off here to avoid me?
Me: No, I have no reason to avoid you.
Him: Yeah...ok...he told you to avoid the cop.
Me: No, he didn't...
Him(cutting me off in mid sentence): Get back in the car
So, I get back in, and he pulls my buddy out and talks to him, he asked for his NYPD ID, then asks him why he told me to avoid him, my friend told me he didn't even see him, and why would he, being an officer himself, tell me to avoid the cop...the guy tells him the same shit he told me, tells him we were trying to get away from him, and tells him to get back in the car.
Gives me a ticket for speeding, and we're on our way.
My friend gets home, calls his PBA delegate, and tells him what happened. The delegate tells my friend the officer that pulled us over was way out of line, and asks for his name/badge number and calls the officer. The officer that pulled me over tells the PBA Delegate that me and my friend TOLD HIM that we got off on the exit to try to get away from him. The PBA delegate doesn't believe him, calls my friend back, and tells him what he said, and my friend is pissed at this guy. The PBA Delegate is supposed to call the officer back that pulled me over and try to get him to not submit the ticket, and I'm just waiting to hear back from him.
To be honest, I told the officer I had no excuse for speeding, and I know I was speeding, and I don't have a problem getting a ticket for it. I'm not mad that he pulled me over for speeding, he did his job. But I'm furious that he would put words in my mouth, as well as my friends, who IS A COP. This guy straight up lied to the PBA Delegate about what happened, me and my friend were present for everything that was said between everyone there, we know what we did and didn't say. Like I said, I have no problem accepting the ticket, but don't make shit up.
Cliffnotes: I was driving with my friend in the car who's a cop, we get pulled over, cop that pulls us over is a douchebag, gives me a ticket for speeding (which I have no problem with), but cop also thinks we were trying to elude him, friend calls PBA Delegate, delegate calls cop that pulled us over, he lies to delegate and tells him we SAID we were trying to get away from him, delegate tells friend he's a douchebag and he's lying, will talk to him about getting rid of ticket.
