Got pulled over tonight....
 

OK, I was on my way up to pick up a few sodas at the gas station and all of a sudden WOO WOO WOO lights behind me. I am like WTF did they get me for, as I was doing the speed limit. Cop comes to my window and asks me why I think I got pulled over. I told him that I didnt know, and he got a little irritated. He said that he pulled me over because A.) I am not supposed to have stickers on the side windows and B.) I have a license plate frame.

I am sitting there dumbfounded, and then he looks in my car and asks me what all the lights were for. He pointed to my scanmaster and A/F meter and asked me what it is, what it does, and is it illegal. He then points to my A-pillar mount gauges and asked me the same thing. I explain to him that they tell me the status of my car's systems. He is like OK let me check on that with my partner.

Luckily, his partner knew a little bit about cars and explained the situation. The cop told me to have a nice night, and drove off, not even saying anything further about why he pulled me over. I swear, some people just need professional :help:

he must've mistaken you for a ricer. you do blend in quite nicely.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

because you have a "liscence plate frame" did he actually say that cause if he did thats fucking hillarious

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

That cop must have only had a learners permit. They were probably practicing pulling people over. He had to ask the senior occifer what to do next.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

that's hillarious.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

I got a ticket for a license plate cover before. Cops just look for any excuse :dunno:

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

thats kinda like what happened with me and my greddy boost contoller and turbo timer ..
after he found out that it wasnt a radar detector or anything illegal he proceeded to give me a ticket for altered suspension,loud exhaust , excessive window tint,no front plate, and defective equipment(blow off valve) :D

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

I thought covers were illegal though? I have never heard of anyone being pulled over for a license plate fram before though...haha

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

yea that's new to me. Covers are legal as long as they are 100% clear, mine was like 95% clear with a faint tint.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

What time of the night was the stop? 9 times out of 10 past 11:00PM, "worthless" stops are purely DUI checks.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

yup

Ive been pulled over probably 5 times and the only thing the cop does is ask where im going and if ive been drinking. I think one time I was changing cds on an empty road, another time I got confused on what highway onramp to take.. went to one, realized it wasnt it, pulled out of it and did a u turn to get to the other one, cop pulled me over on the onramp :rolleyes:

I forget the others, I think they all happened when I was 16. I swear I used to get pulled over a few times a month for nothing

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

Sometimes people get all pissy when they get pulled over. I get pulled so often that I truly dont care. And if an officer decides to pull me at 2am because he wants to, thats fine with me. I'd rather him do that to anyone he wants to because he may just get the guy that could hit me later down the road.

Most police officers bring it on themselves, but the level of respect most citizens give them is much less then they deserve. I am very pro-law enforcement if you havent noticed and I have probably one of the highest non-moving violations on this site and a small amount of moving ones too. Whether im being pulled for no front tag in the Saleen or doing 58 in a 45 on a backroad I always say "thank you.".

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

lol, how is a blow off valve defective equipment?

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

I have met very few cops that weren't complete idiots/dickheads when they pulled me over.

ABout a month ago I was pulled over because the cop said I "flew through a left turn recklessly".. haha. I have 3" skinnies on the front of my car, theres no way in hell I'm "flying" through turns.:rolleyes:

I then told him I rarely even push the gas in the car, and I suppose this is something they teach them in Cop SKooL to say, "Ive been doing this for 20 years..." Followed by "You wouldnt have all this stuff (referring to my apillar gauges) if you didnt race everyone around town."

After that I just gave up, he'd already proven he was an idiot cop, telling me about what I do because he's been a cop for XX years.

I was also pulled over in my Firebird driving around with 2 friends before I had even bought (borrowed for a weekend) it trying to get used to driving it in the rain. We pulled into some parking lot, we honestly didnt do anything, we pulled into the parking lot to do a uturn because it was a dead end. Soon as I start driving away I see a car stopped in the middle of the road.. Oh my, guess who. Of course he asks me why we're out there, and how long we'd been out there, we had just came from Walmart where I bought a video game, I even showed him the receipt and told him we were just cruising around town because I had just bought the car.. and who doesnt put 1000 miles on their new car in the first week? Oh, but mistar occifur didn't agree. He goes "Ive been doing this for XX years, dont lie to me boy I'm not stupid." :rolleyes:

Well if we were fucking doing something, whether it be smoking weed, snorting coke, breaking into stores, or drifting across the parking lot, prove it you ignorant fuck. Until then its HARASSMENT.

He of course didn't see, hear, or know anything, so he checked all of our ID's, and the kid in the back that I barely even knew was under 18 and it was probably 11:30 at night so he got into bitch mode again "You get this kid home right now or I'll give you two (me and the other guy who was 19 i think) tickets for contributing to the deliquency of a minor."

LOL What an idiot. If a cop treats me with respect, I treat him with respect.

End rant.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

I totally agree, yet with police officers I always try to kill them with kindness.

I get the SAME thing with the "You wouldnt have a cage in your car unless you were racing around town and down the streets." It's hard to talk your way out of a cop with horse blinders on...i feel you.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

It was about 6:30 PM.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

Ok, then totally ignore the entire DUI theme I was going on. :D

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

yea, but its still fucked up that people have nice cars get pulled over just for the sake of being pulled over. its like nice car racism, man.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

where were you at?

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

M24 in Lapeer.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

I swear they're nazi up there

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

Hold up, he said you're not supposed to have stickers on the side windows? Did you have them on the door windows or the actual side windows? And that was BS when he said you have a "license plate frame". Especially when you see how many cars are driving around with them. Either that cop was a rookie or he was bored, or both.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

I had the stickers which are approx 3" by 3" on the small side windows that are furthest back. I think he was a rookie and bored because he was young and was probably just itching to show off his new badge.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

Yeah, I thought so. I've got APC, SCP, and DecalKits.com stickers on my side windows and I drive right next to cops most of the time and they don't do anything to me. But, like I said he was probably bored.

Re: Got pulled over tonight....
 

And to think...I thought I was glad to get away from virginia cops....jeez.
