Theres your proof right there. I have a Holley sticker on the side of my window and a Turblown license plate surround and get tailed by the cops from my house to my work not even a mile away every day...

Definitely going to get a police dept. license surround and star sticker today.

Yeah for me its usually because the cop didn't get me for anything else. I have a feeling that even if I drive slow though every time I get in front of a cop I have a chance of being pulled over and ticketed. I was pulled over for registration crap one Friday night and given an exhaust ticket. There were four cop cars and they all spent ~2 hours with me. This in ******* ORLANDO around midnight where theres prostitutes, drug dealers, drunk drivers everywhere.

Next time I'm going to look a cop in the eye when he asks why I don't take it off and say "well...I think I will deal with it for now. If it bothers me enough though I might sell the car, forget everything I've learned about cars and become the average American teenager that parties every weekend, smokes weed, drinks and drives etc. And then go to school and study...business. "

Makes me want to move back to VA and drive on the twisties in the boonies where all it took was a downshift and high beams to make a cop car a spec in my rear view

Just an update, I got out of the ticket, seems that somehow by the time the judge got it it was for an ATV violation, so it got thrown out. Lucky me, I think maybe they chickened out after the letter I wrote the judge.

Judges are retarded *** corrupt people too, at least from my experience. I remember in my last court session a lady almost started crying trying to explain her situation for a citation she received and right in the middle the dumbass judge looked away and started speaking to an associate and handing over paperwork and ****. Didn't even ask her to repeat herself.

I don't know, it was a really small town, and they can just write another ticket to another passer-by-er who wont put up a fight. when I spoke with the judge he really seemed like he wanted nothing to do with it. Just go on to the next sucker , I imagine is his mentality.

Ive been pulled over for exhaust about 10 times ( in my other 7) and never once had to pay "knock on wood". Idk maybe you a re right maybe I'm just lucky, or maybe I'm just captain awesome!
