It was not just..the way I was pulled over. It was the context of the conversation, tone, and how the situation was handled. I've been pulled over & dealt with the police multiple times. (Pulled over on a regular basis driving a FD with no cats) This was definitely racially motivated.

I was cited for No Front Plates, Exhaust, & Not having my Insurance (which I did). I had my actual insurance binder..however because I didnt have a card. They wrote me up. Which is ridiculous as I had the actual insurance CONTRACT in hand. (And have shown this to many other police offers. Being insured through AIS they only gave me the binder which is acceptable). They also threatened me and talked down on my FD. "Why do you have this car?"

I thought true Punk Rock was anti-politics. I though true Punks kick the **** out of cops because they are bored. I thought true Punk Rock bands didn't even call themselves punk because the term hadn't even been invented yet.

Do you listen to Greenday?

So punk rock is just about being stupid and fighting due to boredom? You thought very....very wrong.

And being from Riverside you outta know this. Given the amazing scene there. RIP Showcase Theater

Tru dat. I'm from L.I. and had a gun pointed two feet from the back of my head back in the mid-90's. This is when I had an all black (blacked out windows) Probe GT. Yeah, NY and Boston where not nice to me!

I got pulled over by Sac PD for modified exhaust and aftermarket gauges. It's really not a big deal and if they were two blocks away how could they possibly tell what race you are. Fix whatever they said was wrong and pay your 10 dollar fine.

I don't understand this thread at all.

They aren't and neither was my catback exhaust. They just used it as cause to inspect my car for any illegal modifications. Which is perfectly within in their rights to do. It's just a slight irritation. I wasn't issued a fix it ticket since my car was legit so I was let go.

The showcase was shut down over 2 years ago. Along with the Allen Theatre in South Gate.

I can't remember the P.C. but they can pull you over for "suspicious gauges" or "suspicious lighting". Thats how my friend Chris was pulled over with this turbo scion tc sleeper & given a state ref ticket.

When I get home I'll post up the P.C.# CA Law's blow...espicially since its the "driving state"

California lost interest in being the 'driving state' once hippies started getting elected to public office.

You can blame those street racers for some of those annoying laws.
