Take it as personal as you need to sir, it was not aimed as such. I stated facts from my own experiences, and the way I run my life, you may choose to run it differently. That however does not make my views invalid just because "you say so" nor does it make them any less factual.
No need to talk about all police officers. The reality is most traffic cops are scumbag ****heads that failed highschool and abuse their power for fun because it's all they have. **** half of them probably break the law driving drunk twice a week. Anyways the real reason people hate cops is because when one does something totally ****ed up, there is always some douchebag who sticks up for them in some idiotic way (usually a cop or family member). About the only "group" in this day and age that admits nearly zero fault or responsibility, resulting in things never changing for the better.

I've been pulled over and was guilty of speeding (didn't admit it directly), and didn't get any tickets in the 2 speeding incidents. Mainly, I believe because I put the officer at ease (lit up the interior of the car at night) and by complying, trying to stay relaxed as possible, and not acting stupid and argumentative. I was respectful (answered the officer's questions) and used "yes, sir" "no, sir" responses.
Believe it or not, I think a lot of it is how you act and handle the situation, how their day or night is going, which deems if they decide to write you a ticket, or give you a warning and let you go.

Go pro with 4 hours of hd, erased after every drive that I dont see something.
On mothers day I filmed a drunk driver crash in front of me AND hit another 2006 blue hawkeye. Then drive away.
Ended up helping the subie pull the guy over and pull him out of the car until police got there.
We boxed him in it was badass. Looked like subie mafia.
Guy was hella cool dont know if hes on here. Think his name was rob.

Yeah wow.
I did not realize how much hatred there was on this forum towards LEO's
Kinda sad.
I think you would be suprised how many LEO's are active members here.
The running joke though is if we wanted to be liked we would have become fire fighters.
I think the best thing for this thread would be a lock and delete.
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!

You can get cited for the same violation as many times as they want, not only that, it can become a non correctable violation after the 3rd one.
The plate thing.... Same thing happened to me with the Legacy since it was a texas title transfer the dealer took WAY too long to get my plates. But you only that 90 days with that temp tag the DMV gives you.

My gopro mount was broken so I had to hold it the entire time and then stopped recording when on the phone with the police. Sadly the whole chase and boxing in happened off camera. But if anyone knows a rob with a wrb hawkeye kinda beat up but still sweet.....ask him lol.
This was on highway 9 around ben lomond area.
