For sure. It seems like they are puttering down the road, need one more ticket in the books, check you out and go "yeah, that'll work."

I couldn't agree more. People seem to think that you HAVE to drive like a maniac to get pulled over. I didn't get pulled over, but a cop tailed me for miles as he saw me pull out of my CHURCH's parking lot! I didn't even have a chance to speed...and the only visible mod to my car at teh time was a Prodrive axleback!

I agree. Every time I got pulled over for mods, I was going the speed limit, and not breaking any traffic laws.

If they want 2 pop you, they will. You think San Jose cops are bad? Try Santa Clara...they're alot worse. You know there's a risk of getting pulled over for having that stuff. Do it at your own risk....shrug...

Cops have no idea what they are doing anyways. Remember, cops are just the court's little messangers. Innocent until proven guilty, plus Judges are usally cool about auto-related charges.

I always see cops on the way to school or work in the same spit each time. Be polite, stare at them, smile, and wave so they HAVE to see you.

In my experiences, police are inconsistent and it really depends on the specific officer. I've been intercepted by mega-******** cops that suffer from small ***** complex and low IQ, but I have also been intercepted by cops that are professional, respectful and friendly, even one cop complimented my car. Just depends on who's wearing that badge.

I have noticed that most of the times I get pulled over for a traffic violation, the cop tends to be fair.... most of the times I get pulled over for my car being modified, the cop tends to be a complete farking a$$hole. Just an observation...
