one thing i do know... one cop pulled me over for having a light out... I didn't have a license plate on the time.... and she told me that berkeley pd doesn't give tickets for that and that a cop that does is rediculous

TWO in 30 years, big deal im sure SF and LA and stuff have way more. and who was this cop that got in a fight with you and who crashed into your friends car? whats his name?

As long as it isn't a safety issue, do as you please at your own (financial) risk!

if you know berkeley pd, you know it's a pretty shady place. there's no way i'll get myself in trouble by saying any names.
feel free and don't believe me. I lived in berkeley for 6 years and no a large majority of the cops by name

I will say that, for the most part, a huge majority of berkeley PD are ABSOLUTELY GREAT. Most of them don't give BS tickets (front plates, etc), are concerned about safety not picky laws, and are reasonable people.... BUT, there are a few VERY bad seeds.
I'm sure there are many other berkeley natives on this forum that will agree with me

yea your right its only UC that give me and my friends **** if we are like biking/skating around. BPD doesnt care, they actaully have better things to do. but you guys know the reason why UC are such A-holes, its cause they feel week and stuff cause there not the actaully city cops, its like they have to make up for something so they become hard asses to show that they can do just as well as the city cops.

5 years living/driving in Berkeley in mid-90s, mostly no problem.
Once pulled over while driving a slammed, tinted, Volvo 740 sedan w/custom plates that said "THE DRGN". Pulled over for 4-day-expired tags, daytime, busy Durant Ave. Obviously, cop wanted to check if I was running with a gang. Fine, I might too in the situation at that time.
But the second I opened my mouth and said, "what?! my tags are expired?" he leaned in and yelled "AND you were going 45 when you ripped past me back there", which is just ridiculous because I saw him double-parked about 2 blocks in advance of passing him.
He had his flashlight (huh? its daytime) raised above my head and his meanest glare.
So I shut up and didn't get a speeding ticket. He wrote me a non fix-it ticket, and also had to pay my late registration fee. $200 total for ??
BUT, I NEVER generalize without proof. I'm sure most of the other hundreds of Berkeley PD are normal and reasonable.
