Have you ever been pulled over by the police while dressed?

[NathalieX66]

Yes I was in 2008. I was pulled over in a town named Cranford in New Jersey. We were coming back to her place in Plainsboro after being at a club in Asbury Park. I was fully dressed as Robin and was nervous, but my friend Tina calmed me down. I was not speeding, just slightly swerving according to the policeman. My drivrs license is my male self. The policeman had me walk about 5-10 feet ( I was wearing 2 inch heels ), no problem at all and he said have a safe trip home ladies. He did not bat an eye at my femme self ( I am fairly passable brunette ). I have never told my wife about this.

This story sounds oddly familiar.
Do I know you....just asking.

I rarely get a chance to dress but found an opportunity one evening in the fall. I was in a skirt and blouse (and of course of the undergarments) and heels. I don't do make-up or wigs, partly because of my mustache. I was in Missouri driving a Ford F-150 licensed for 18,000 pounds. The law in Missouri only requires a front plate for that license, but front and rear for anything licensed less. And it's rare for a F-150 to have an 18k license. I crossed a bridge into North Kansas City on a six lane road. This road is deserted of an evening, mostly an industrial area. As I got into NKC, a police officer sitting on the side of the road immediately turned his lights on and pulled me over. I knew right away what it was for. (I am overly cautious driving while dressed.) The officer asked for license and registration. My hands were trembling, but handed both to him. He walked to the front, looked at my plate, walked back and handed me my documents and told me to be careful.

I suppose the reason I was trembling is one of my son's Boy Scout leaders is on that police force - and my truck is very recognizable. And I'm not out to anyone. I haven't driven through there dressed since.

Love these types of threads...

First of all most cops aren't going to make any comments to you directly...for two reasons...

One if he does he's opening himself up for a complaint...see where yoru black or white pink or yellow male or female gay straight or somewhere in between if he were to make a comment in a derogratory way you can go and make a formal complaint and he could be investigated.

With the Gay Rights movement gaining steam and we do fall under that large umbrella BTW...PD's all over are having training on human sensitivity training etc....

Secondly, most officers 98+% of them are going to conduct themselve professionally with whoever they come inot contact with anyway...now they may have their thoughts etc...adn msot of them once they come across one of us are more or less going to want to cut bait and move on....perfectly honest they don't want to have to deal with you...to much of a hassle to be honest with you...they just would much prefer to put distance between themselves and you...they're going to look at you as an extrmely weirdo...and they have enough of them out there in other aspects of their duties that they have to deal with so why would they want to deal with one of us if they don't have to. Most of you have been stopped for a traffic violation...lots of discretionary action that can be take by a PO...like a verbal warning and be G-O-N-E!!!! Yah, you'll probably be lockeroom chat later that evening or the enxt, but soon you'll just be a forgotten memory...trust me...I spent 26 years wearing the badge and worked in the greater Miami area...now if there were ever a place that your would see all kinds of things that would be it...I got to know a lot of the street walkers down on Biscayne Blvd...you think we're weird???? LOL you all need to see them girls...I think half of them use to gargle with lestoil industrial strength. One nite a new girl showed up and I was asking one of the walkers who she was...she said oh she just got out of prison...I asked what she was in for...a question I liked to ask so I could get an idea of who they were...and I was told she was in for murdering her mother and father...so see in the grand scheme of things we and our little fetish of dressing is really small potatoes when it comes to the big bad cops...all it is to them is "weird" and then they'll move on....

So if you get stopped by the cops...be polite, answer the questions and don't try to BS him or her...and jsut be honest...chances are they'll cut you a wide path and let you go if it's no big deal....now if yoru roaring drunk and should have been driving in the first place ...well chances are he's goign to give you a thrill and let you get to meet some new boyfriends down a the local holding cell for drunks...and NO they won't let you change before you go into the cell...and I promise you it will be a nite you'll NEVER forget...jsut think of the possibilities being dressed and ina 30 person holding tank with 29 other drunk men!!!! ...the possibilities are unlimited!!!!

Nite all...

PS You all drive careful now ya hear!!!!
