So... If you are unfamiliar with the quaint town of Fremont in the East part of teh Bay Area, let me bring you up to speed.

In the 90s Fremont was a big screen for illegal street racing, towards the late nineties they cracked down on illegal street racing by enforcing some super strict driving rules... anyways, if you're caught with anything illegal on your car it gets impounded and you go to jail. There are officers specifically looking for illegal cars particularly between the hours of midnight to about 4am.

I leave work (in Newark) at 1:00am and think "hey there's that cheap gas station across the freeway in Fremont 1 street from the freeway entrance I should go there real quick!

Wrong move...

Cop just finished pulling over some other guy, I pass him, he stalks me... the moment I get into the gas station "BLOOP!" I'm thinking... "awww **** me!!"

1. I know I'm not street legal, but they don't know that I know that I'm not street legal!!
2. I've been drinking... **** ME!! (I've been pulled over for drinking before) But I'm not drunk, and I'm not even buzzed, but I just had a double shot of jack about an hour ago. I'm thinking, I'm going to jail...

Officer asks if I know why I've been pulled over, I say no and try to not talk to him directly so he can't smell my breath. He tells me I don't have a front license plate and that my exhaust set up is not street legal.

I tell the officer I've only owned the car fro about 2 months and that I bought the car "as is." He checks out my drivers license and has me step out the car and walk towards his partner...

Then... they have me do the hokey pokey... you know, touch your fingers, count backwards, look into the light kind of deal... as this happens two other cop cars pull up... I'm surrounded by 5 officers... ("**** MY LIFE I'm going to jail, I'm getting tazed and tackled tonight" is going through my head) I take the breathalyzer, I have no idea what I blew... but apparently I'm ok to drive!! YAY!
They tell me about my car... and tell me to sit in the driver's seat.

They let me off with a verbal warning (WHEW!)... apparently they let me go because "I don't look like the typical street racer." He says that I need to go to a stock exhaust to keep my decibels down. I probably should've waited for them to leave before I started up my car... I assume after they left, they knew that I knew that my car is not street legal... but oh wells!!

I still have my Roxanne and I'm not in jail, thank you Jesus!

 

Don't do illegal car mods.

 

Keep it stock. Modified cars are for losers.

 

its not that people want to mod there car illegally but unless your a cop u dont know what legal is..

 

Cop is just sweating you cause his car sucks

 

Ive been pulled over 2 times for speeding and let go both times thank god i knew them though 70 on the freeway entrance oh and cut some1 off lol. My excuse was my cars old and i have to gain speed or else ill be doing 40 on the freeway ZUAHAHAHA.

 

Never had a problem in Fremont. I don't exactly hang there between midnight and four, but I have a couple friends there and other than a chintzy parking ticket that we fought and won, I've never been messed with by the cops in Fremont.

Scotts Valley on the other hand...I think they hire guys straight out of the military. Super shiny boots, a laser-straight brim, they're all under 25 years old, expressionless, and like f-ing robots or something. Steer clear.

 

man... I used to go out to scotts valley for bon fires all the time.

Oh and I seriously bought the car as is... the exhaust is what it is, didn't think it'd cause me too much trouble till last night.

 

Never had a problem in Fremont when i lived there for a year. My FD was definately not street legal. I hate the sound of loud cars! I had 2 resonators and a dual tip in my straight through exhaust. Sounded stock, but just smelld bad. Felt bad for the drivers behind me in traffic.

 

w00t bay area cops, but so cal is worst. I got a no front plate ticket when I had front plate on the car...

 

I got thrown onto the ground by Fremont PD, and It was like right at the border of Union City and Fremont

other than that fremont pd is pretty cool for the most part, except Rossetti

 

o.0? Why were you thrown on the ground?!?!

 

I've never had a problem in Freakmont. Even when I was driving my old TII which would throw 6ft flames on hard decel...lol.

Microtech + 3" open exhaust = PROFIT.

 

We all know you jammed out with yore clam out with the coppers.

 

I keep a hypno-toad in my glovebox just in case...

 

ugh... you make me wanna change my user title...

 

Don't drink and drive, fix plate, and get a new exhaust.

/thread

I lived in that area for 3 years and never got pulled over.

 

Im naked!!!

 

Obviously I waited long enough before driving that the cop let me go, it's like $50 for another plate, and I don't even have the money to fix the exhaust at this time. I lived in Fremont before, and believe me I would get pulled over for some stupid ****, and this was when I was driving a completely stock Honda Fit.

 

pm noodz...



























jk... but you can pm that to all the guys I'm sure they'd like

 

So Fremont Law Enforcement pulled you over with probable cause to believe you have an illegally modified car and driving while intoxicated.

And you have a illegally modified car and have been drinking.


So now you hate cops and Fremont.

 

whoa whoa whoa!! no puttin words in my mouth... I never said "I hate fremont cops" I said I hate fremont... mainly for their increased law enforcement geared towards illegal street racing. I no street racer, if anything I want to be legit and get on the track, and like I said I wasn't drunk, I waited for the proper allotted time before driving.
Don't you think police enforcement should be targeting something more important like the drug dealers, rapists, and murderers?
In regards to my exhaust, I'm already horribly embarrassed every time I unintentionally set off someone's alarm... I don't like attracting unwanted attention. Believe me.

 

Don't lie. Joo know you were hammarrrrrd drunk and jammed out with yoar clam out ;D


On a more serious note, drill 2 screws into your front bumper above the brake duct to install the license plate. I did that with the old bumper. Exhaust...trade yours for stock? or something..

 

i have stock exhaust you can have extra set just laying around or trade up to you. lemme know if you need it.

 

I think they should of put this street racer in jail.
