Have you ever been pulled over? For any reason, (speak up so cal) hope this isnt a re-post Options

well, I've learned my lesson the hard way.
I've lost my licsense 3 times in 2 states AZ & CA
reckless endangerment 147 in a 55
too many speeding tickets to remember
totalled 5 Celica's in 12 years mostly 3rd and 5th gen
just bought a 94 gt coupe and decided to take it easy on this one. insurance is costing me as much as my house payment.....

I've only ever been pulled over once, and it wasn't fun at all.

I just got out of classes, doing about 60-65 on a long stretch of 45 MPH speed limit about 2 miles from my house and just wanted to get home. Just as I approached a blind corner, two state troopers FLEW by me, doing at least 70+ and if you live in Jersey you know how our cops like to set a double standard....

I see the second trooper smash on his brakes as soon as I look in my mirror and I knew I was screwed. Of course being 2 miles from my house I knew of about a million different ways I could simply "maneuver" my way out of their path and try not to get a ticket.....and thats exactly what I did unfortunately. I dropped it down a gear, and took off to try to put as much length on them as possible, and turned down two very quiet and twisty back roads. Just as I thought they were long gone, I see a white State Police cruiser fly up behind me, almost 5-7 minutes after I had passed them. They ID'ed my car and gave it a look over, and gave me a hard time for "running" and I just played stupid and got off relatively well.

Scary for sure. Never do anything stupid like that unless you're POSITIVE that you have no chance of them finding you. But seriously....just don't do it.

i have gotten pulled many times never for speeding but the only one that got me the worst was
back when the led windshield waher lights cam out i had a set of blue ones.
the local cops could have cared less but one night while delivering pizza's i hit
a georgia state patrol road block and they gave me a ticket
for unauthorized vehicle blue lights.
he asked if i could cut them off or if they came on with the headlights
i told him no they come on when you turn on the headlights he said
well thats good cause if you could make them blink i would give you another ticket too.
he was being an ass.
so i called the court house to see how much the ticket was and was asked for the
violation number when i told them what it was they informed me that i couldn't pay it i had to
go to court for it i asked why and he said that i was impersonating a police officer
once i told them what the lights were they let me pay it for a hundred and forty bucks

got pulled over bunch of times! once for being in an "astute neighborhood" (dropping off a hot date) got identified as a black male acting suspiciously....go figure...

got pulled over last week for "driving suspiciously" cop said the neighborhood I was in was a drug area. he acted like he didnt see me stop at the youth rec center to check the times, then said i had a tail light off.

speeding tickets, yadda yadda yadda....etc.

I thinik i remember reading that you are nto to have any aftermarket parts on your car that are not from the manufacturer. I have been pulled over for aggressive driving and while i was in neutral the officer said my exhaust was too loud. haha. Ive never been harassed for petty things except for no front license plate. Otherwise im usually pulled over for speeding and then they just make note to me that my tint is too dark, exhaust too loud, etc.
