Cops Who Have Pulled Over Celebrities Share Their Experiences

Cops Who Have Pulled Over Celebrities Share Their Experiences

Getting pulled over by the police is always a drag, but it has to be even worse if you're someone famous.

Not all celebrities handle the situation with grace, but the outcome is likely to be interesting whether they manage to keep things professional or not.


Reddit user u/bfly1800 asked:

"Cops of Reddit, what famous people have you pulled over and how did it go down?"

Werner Herzog

Giphy

I gave Werner Herzog a speeding ticket in the Hollywood hills in the early 2010s. He was very polite and even shook my hand. Nice fellow.

Do you know why I pulled you over? "Because I was traveling.... at Unimaginable speeds"

Marilyn Manson

My dad was a cop. Pulled over none other than Marilyn Manson for an unsafe signal lane change (he was bragging the day it happened) in the early 2000s. Said he was non descript and low key, apologetic and didn't act like a big shot above the law.

Clint Eastwood

Giphy

My dad pulled over Clint Eastwood. I guess this was just after they started requiring licenses to drive motorcycles in California. He pulled him over because he was driving squirly like he didn't really know how to ride. His was response to license issue was "Man next thing you know you'll need a license to ride a horse."

Paul Newman

My father was a police officer for 27 years and in one day he pulled over Paul Newman, who, apparently, was notorious for speeding. So, my dad goes to cite him and gets a call for an accident that needed assistance down the road. Then sometime shortly thereafter, my father pulled him over again and Newman allegedly groaned, "Not you again.."

Christianne Amanpoor

I was a NYC Park Ranger in Central Park. I asked Christianne Amanpoor from CNN to put her dog on a leash and she said "do you know who I am?"

So I said, "I don't care who you are, put your dog on a leash"

Nick Nolte

Giphy

Former police cadet and dispatcher here. I was on a ride along and was told this story. So this officer pulls this car over for speeding. She then suspects the driver of being drunk. She calls in his driver's license to run it. The dispatcher tells her, "You have Nick Nolte pulled over? Do you know who he is? He's a movie star." The officer is young and doesn't know who Nick Nolte is. Turns out he wasn't drunk, he was just being Nick Nolte. She gave him a warning and sent him on his way.

Bethany Hamilton

I was working as a lifeguard and we had the beach red flagged (no swimming) for rough surf. There was this girl swimming so I hopped on my ATV and headed down to call her out of the water. Her swimming was... weird, I couldn't put my finger on it right away, part of determining whether or not I have to rescue someone is to evaluate their swimming stroke.

She wasn't in obvious distress, just swimming around in her... weird sort of way. I blow my whistle to get her attention and she starts swimming back to shore.

At this point I should probably mention that we had a surf contest going on and there were a bunch of pro surfers in town because of it.

She walks out the water and at this point I realize why her swim stroke was weird, she only has one arm. Now I've got to tell Bethany Hamilton that the water is too rough for swimming.

Kurt Russell

I wasn't a patrol officer, but rather the sheriff's deputy at Aspen's airport, Sardy Field. I had to threaten to tow both Kurt Russell's and Hunter Thompson's vehicles more than once when they left them where they weren't supposed to, parked right in front of the airport. Hunter was Hunter and just mumbled and groused, and Kurt usually just waved and smiled. Dirty violators, the both of them ;)

I can still remember Russell's license plate... VCD711

Wes Craven

Giphy

My co-worker wrote Wes Craven a ticket. He didn't know who he was and so when he gave him the ticket, he just was like "here's you ticket Mr. Craven". My co-worker told me that if he knew he wrote a ticket to the nightmare on elm Street guy, he would have issued a warning instead. My co-worker is also from Kosovo so when he tells it with his accent it's extra funny

Blake Shelton

When I was a cop I pulled Blake Shelton over once. I walked up the window went through my little spiel "Hello my name is Officer juscvin with the city Police, The reason I've stopped you tonight is insert crime, may I see your license and insurance verification". He gives me his stuff and it's really late so I haven't even figured out it's him yet I'm just thinking this guy looks familiar he was really friendly and pretty apologetic super nice guy I wanted to ask for an autograph or picture but felt like it would've been unprofessional.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Roasted After Viewers Notice Awkward Detail In His 'Morning Routine' Video

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
