well ive gotta a story. tonight i was driving home from a friends house and before i went home i was going to go to the local community college and take some night pics of the celi. the college has this huge parking lot, lots of lights, and its on a hill. so i thought id try it out. well after getting there and getting out of the car i see a cop car drive by me and park at the other end of the parking lot watching me. i took a few pics but ended up leaving since he was making me nervous. and as i was leaving i saw another cop drive by. this is the 6th time a cop has watched me as i took pics at night. once at another college, couple times in front of a coffee shop, and couple times at a mall parking lot. maybe the cops here are just bored...

does anybody else have a problem with taking night pics because of cops? maybe its just me but cops make me nervous when i try taking pictures.

Maybe it is you. LoL. I haven't had a problem but I usually don't take any night pix cuz they turn out bad (camera no good). And it also has to do with the patrol around your area. Cops are probably just suspecious of you since you are all by yourself in a huge parking lot. They might be thinking something is going on and watch just in case something is. Nothing to worry about. You aren't breaking any laws. They can't force you out of the parking lot. You aren't even trespassing.

Dude, we do that all the time. My buddy and I usually go to secluded spots or behind shopping centers to get good pics. Cops can't do anything, b/c you are not doing anything. The spot in my profile, is right outside a Police supply depot. Cop cars would drive in and out of that place every 10 minutes or so, the station was down the road, not even a mile! They just looked at me like..."It's just a Toyota..."...Lol. Unless of course there's a sign that says "No Trespassing" and your tint is at 5%!

So...where are these pictures that you had taken? I'd like to see them.

And to add to the topic, Ive never had issues like that with the police. They just don't care about the imports up here that much. halifax, though...heh. Youd get stopped for ANYTHING if you drove a lowered, rim'd car.

Well usually when I take night pics its around 11-12, since it's usually when i leave a friends house or my gf's house and i'm driving home. I'm never good at taken pictures, and my car is pretty much stock exterior wise,hence why i never post pictures of my car. but here are a few i've taken. I did have more from the other times, but my hardrive crashed about 2 months ago and so i lost all my stuff. But i did manage to salvage one picture from it, which actually happened to be my favorite. Damn i need to get some tips on photo taken from coomer or something biggrin.gif

hey thanks for the comment driffter, hey im trying smile.gif st202 no they arent blue, they are 6K HID's, pure white witha hint of blue. But in the picture they look blue because i didnt take off the tungeston setting on my digital camera, which gives a hint of blue to all your pictures. Mainly it's used for inside pictures.

I sometimes have the same problem with the police sitting around while I take pics at night. They don't do anything but just watch and make sure you don't do something dumb. Never had a problem, they just sit there and leave when I leave. No biggie just keep takin your pics and they wont do anything but watch and maybe ask you to leave

Well look at it from their point of view to. Random kid on city property, id investigate to. They never know what your up to. But ive been watched in many places when taking pictures of my car. Had cops (3 or 4 of them off duty but showed their badges)walk over and ask me for a ride when my friends and I lined everyone up. (93 rx7, 91 mr2, my mr2, evo, 86 rolla w/ 20v, and a turbo s2k)

cali has far to many automotive laws.

Nice picts by the way
