One thing I learned about Seattle area police: If you are pulled over by a motorcycle cop, you’re getting a ticket. I would get pulled over three or four times a year but averaged about one ticket every two years. Whenever it was a motorcycle, I learned it was going to cost me at least something.
One summer day I was leaving the park and ride in my convertible and got stopped by a radar motorcycle cop doing 48 in a 25. I had no proof of insurance, I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, and my tabs had expired the week before. The cop gave me a ticket for 35 in a 25 and told me to wear my seatbelt and get my tabs renewed...
He was a nice guy, but had to write a ticket.
I got warnings only from cops in cars almost every time. Almost...
Stands to reason. If they don't have cause to write you a ticket, they shouldn't be pulling you over.
