Cops stole my gixxer!

RE: Cops stole my gixxer!
Yeah, I went through some BS like that, not with my bike though. Some codes enforcement officer of something tried to tell me I was going to be arrested for going 65 in a 55. WTF? They can pull people over for speeding? And he had to honk and wave me down to do so. He said he was going to have to impound my vehicle to wait inspection, and arrest me. I called 911 immediately saying a fake cop was trying to impound my vehicle. About 30 seconds later, about 8 cops pull up sirens and everything and wanted to know what was going on.
I told them, the cops checked the dude out and he was a codes enforcer, but had no right to pull me over. He was fired for impersonating a police officer and spent some time in jail.
My advice: If anything feels remotely fishy about anything, especially with impounds or jail. Call 911, even if it is a real cop. There are corrupt officers out there.
But I'm not trying to say cops are bad. They saved my *** that time and plenty others. I have a huge respect for cops. When I get pulled over, I get mad at myself, not them. After all, I and only I was the one breaking the law. They are just doing their jobs. (the good ones anyway).

Man that sucks *** but thats what they do when you they find stolen property. The ticket is BS and I would fight. Where I live at the DMV it is State highway patrol officers? Well at least the one i goto.....so you know they are the biggest ********.
Still the cop sounds like to me was treating you like you were the one that stole the bike....I think he needed to be more reasonable, but either way he had to get the bike, but could have done so in more of a professional way....there all ********.....all of em!

I still can't believe there's someone out there dumb enough to buy a bike with the intention of registering it without a title.

You're right, it was an intelligent move buying a bike from an auction house worth about 6 grand for $2.400 without a title and then acting like a 3 year old trashing his own belongings after the cops took back what the real victim in this case had yanked away from him from some ****ing rat bastards. Grow up.

I don't think the OP was guilty of anything wrong with the purchase. This is America, and he bought a good deal. It just turned out to be a paperwork nightmare. Now he can lawyer up and sue the auction house. My family went through something similar with heir property and the title company not doing their job. It's time consuming but he has to decide if it's worth the $2400+ time invested to fight it.
The temper tantrum was a bit much and also blowing up the sun....come on. Any more comments like that and G-Dubyas folks will be at your door to take you to Gitmo and deprive you of your civil liberties.

If you buy a bike without a title you are asking for trouble. Just ask Jbaz. I've bought about 30 vehicles in my 27 years of driving/riding - and you?
