does that exactly sound like a crime to you? driving while asian??? ( coming from a black guy )

 

...glad they posted a pic of a stock STI on the page. I can't wait to get pulled over again and have another argument about whether or not I should get a ticket for the wing.

I've always been pretty cool to cops that pull me over, but since having this car I've been getting harrased quite a bit so my attitude has been gradually changing. This is profiling short and sweet. Shouldn't it be illegal?

edit: just noticed the tooltip when you mouse over the STI pic...whatever

 

yes.

 

My front plate goes back on the car. I dont need another reason to get pulled over.

 

didn't somebody here get pulled over for a stock exhaust on their sti, when it just came out?

 

they said that the resent 13 deaths due to teens racing or driving with a racing mentality is why this is nessasary

BULL FREAKING CRAP!!!!! its all about money MONEY MONEY MONEY the cops are less about protection and more about $ for the city and state

I SAY **** THE POLICE! *any cop that gets tough and believes this crap is a retard* more people die crossing the street or from not wearing seatbelts then racing

lame lame lame
edgar,

 

I remember that.

 

THIS IS TOTAL BS !! WTF is this country coming to ? Next thing you know, they'll be watching us eat and sleep !
AARRGGHHHHH .......!!!!

 

That was me.......20 minutes of arguing in front my house @ 2am........still had dealer plates on the car

 

Are stats availible about these tickets under the Freedom of Info Act? If they are, I suggest to anyone with the time to look up: -how many cars are pulled over for tint in CA, -how many luxury cars (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc...) have tint and what % have been pulled over, and -how many Japanese imports have tint and what % have been pulled over. With those stats, I'm sure it would be hard for any law enforcment agency to deny that they've been unfairly targeting people with less money (which is obviously illegal; discrimination based on income). Honestly...I've never heard of a middle aged person in a high end car get pulled over for having full tint, while I know of several Accord, Civic, and Impreza owners who have been sited more than once purely for tint.

 

my buddy Timmy has been pulled over for modification in his dead stock SRT4

I am worried about my Camaro with its 103db exhaust

 

I have a feel for the time being this will mostly be down south, 5 million dollars is not that much for something like this. Also do you ever think there is a reason for doing this other then stoping street racing? I mean the main tarket is asian imports, maybe they want to slow down the import market, because this will reflect on the car companies.

 

It's just common sense that cops are taught how to "stereo-type" types of cars and types of people. For example, someone dressed in a big puff jacket, with a beanie and pants that sag, would be deemed more of a trouble maker than others. No cop would pinpoint some person dressed in a nice pair of slacks with a dress shirt and some shiny shoes and glasses. They would look toward the more "thugly." Which in terms means our cars have and will be targeted just for looking nice on the streets.

I'm not tryin' to be gay, but the police force is going to "stereo-type/classify" our cars as modded, which is a damn horrible way to **** off customers for just driving an import.

Maybe we should sue and say that these actions taken by CA officers are discriminatory and un equal, and march and fill up sacramento until the Gov. does somethin'.

J/p, won't work. CA will be as gay as it's been, and will become gayer for having fun with your cars.

 

"Several cities have drag-racing ordinances that allow police to auction off seized cars and keep the profits." I love this idea.

Officer: Your car is illegal! Im taking it!
Driver: Oh No3es!!1!
Auctioneer: Sold for 16 thousand to the young gentleman in front!
New driver: Wow my new car is fast! Uh oh, Im getting pulled over
Officer: Your car is illegal! Im taking it! *giggles*
Repeat untill everyone catches on...

 

haha
