Well no hating or anything just be sure to becareful and choose what you do wisely. All in all, everyone is just watching out for each other, especially Impreza members. No one really means any harm, just trying to keep everyone safe and away from 5-0. Most of us here mean it for the best and not to offend anyone, scare off, or even insult. Just that we've seen so many bad things that happen at street races, we can't stress how bad it can get. I'm sure we've all done it once in our lifetimes to get that adrenaline rush. Good Luck with your ticket and just go back to stock and you'll be fine.

I feel you... Some cops are beyond ridiculous... In all the times I've been mistakenly harassed I don't think once ever heard the words "I'm sorry" from a cop even though he/she was TOTALLY in the wrong. That's just one of the small things that add up and makes cops look bad in the public eye.

When I was in the academy I got some insight as to how things work with the police and overall it's pretty sad... Don't get me wrong, not all cops are this way, but quite a few of them are. What I'm referring to is their stubborness (is that a word?) and will to be correct even when they are totally wrong. I can't stand when cops start spewing crap from their mouths as if they were experts on the subject, however the truth of the matter is that they are CLUELESS and can't admit to being wrong... Then we have to deal with the lame *** ticket that we shouldn't have gotten in the first place all because the damn cop couldn't suck up his pride and admit he was wrong to avoid the trouble for both of us!

There are plently of other things that irk me about traffic cops, but that's the main one. Serve and Protect MY ***... It sucked being in the academy with future officers like I just desribed... You can tell that they are walking time bombs just waiting to graduate and start giving bogus tickets to people and giving other good officers a bad name!

This place doesn't tell you what you wanna hear or how you wanna hear it, I'm afraid.

You messed up. It just wasn't your lucky night. Suck it up. Move on. There isn't much else you can do here. Just don't do that sh*t again.

The main reason I see this thread and get angry is because everytime the police see people racing a car that looks like mine, the next time they see me driving the speed limit and minding my own business, they are going to pop me. And that's unfair and it's unfortunate that police are that way but I can't do anything about it. I'm with you Bruce Lee, I've been harrassed so many times by police that I just have an overall bad opinion about them, but I still understand that not all of them are bad.

it's simple hunny, it's because of people like you...that cops write people like us tickets. People who have no respect, no idea of what they're doing etc that the cops have to deal with that incline them to pull people like us over.

If you get the vibe that I'm a little pissed here...then you're right.

And me in your life? Don't even get me started girl.
