VA warning Options

[Travis]

Hope I got this in the right place, anyway a quick word of advice. Driving from NY into Va to visit my girl, I was pulled over by Virginia State Troopers, after 30 mins of 3 cops surrounding my car (measuring my front and rear ground clearance, window tint, exhaust, checking all my papers) I was stuck w/ 2 violations, improper exhaust, illegal window tint. I have 35% all the way around, 8% from the legal limit, and after telling the officer that I can place a baffle in the muffler, for silence, he refused, said it should've been on in the first place. Keep in mind I wasn't speeding, I was wearing a seat belt and obeying all traffic laws. After telling my father, who oddly enough is a police officer, informed me that Va. is having buget problems, and until January they'll be writing tickets left and right. The sad thing is they love to nail imports, I will be fighting both violations, the total for the tickets was 125 bones, but to make this short, a warning for anyone driving in va. try to stay hidden, their looking for any reason to give a ticket. and if at all possible avoid Va. all together!

Thanks for the warning I live in VA! Better get yellow bulbs for my turn signals again I guess.....
Strange though... I actualy basicaly got let off by a cop last night I was going 60 in I think a 40.... some dude was in my blind spot I needed to be in the right lane so I sped up a bit to get over and he stayed in my blind spot... I then slowed down to get behind him.... and then he hit his siren really quick gave me a stern look and rode off... I take back all the things I said about all cops being assholes....
