Stopped by PoPo again!!! (long story)

[HvyArms]

So, as some of you already know, my car has swedish plates. Sometime's I get the wrong kind of attention, and Im changing them over to GA plates soon blab blab. Last night I was stopped by cops again, this time a few friends were tailing me. We have this understanding, that if we're following one another, and the cops pull up next to us whether on the street or the expressway, we tailgate. Not enough to get pulled over, but just enough to prevent the cops from getting in between us. And if one of us gets stopped, we all stop.

So anyway, I'm on Candler last night headed to agnes scott, and my friends were behind me in a 330. Somehow the got caught at the light at Glenwood but I made it through. But as I crossed it, a DekalbCountyPolice car made a right and was cruising behind me. I slowed up, so that I wouldnt leave my friends because they didnt know how to get to where we were going. By the time I reached the next light, the DCP car was behind mine and my friends were in the left lane right next to the cops. So, the cops are looking at each other, I'm watching them in the rearview. They look over at my friends, laughing and the cop who's driving says "what the hell!". They didn't realize that the car to their left was with me.

Anyway, I'm sitting there waiting for them to figure out if they wanna stop me or not. The light turns green, and after about a block, they hit their lights. I pull over, the cops pull over, and my friends pull over behind the cop car. 5 minutes we're sitting on the street, no one's moving, then another DCP cars pulls up behind my friends. So all four cars are sitting on the street, and finally the cops behind me get out and approach my car.

Cop1: Goodevening sir, how are you tonight?

Me: I'm we..

Cop1: Would you mind showing me your driver's license(sp)

Me: hmm, not at all. is there a problem?

Cop1: ....

Me: ha.....ok?

Cop2: Where is this car from sir?

Me: Sweden

Cop1: Do you live in Sweden?

Me: No I live in Fulton

Cop1: Where's that?

Me: Wha...

Cop2: He means fulton county!

Me: Yeah, Fulton County?

Cop1: So, you gotta tell me. How do you get away with driving around on these plates?

Me: :::fool you're the cop, you tell ME::: I haven't really had any problems actually.

Cop1: What kind of name is this?

Me: Arabic.

Cop1: Where are you from?

Me: California.

Cop2: But where were you born?

Me: Compton

Cop2: Then where are your parents from?

Me: My parents? My parents aren't in the car with me, why does that matter?

Cop1: Sir sir sir, it's just a question. Answer it.

Me: I don't know where they're from, you might wanna ask them. I think my father is from Eeron and my mom is from Prague.

Cop2: Eeron?

Me: Yeah, you know. Eyeran? Why did you stop me?

Cop1: I just wanted to ask you about these plates. When do you plan on changing them over?

Me: Sir, with all due respect, I'm not braking any laws. I'm a college student.

Cop1: No warrants?

Me: No warrants.

Cop1: No felonies?

Me: What?

Cop1: Would you object to a vehicle search?

Me: Yup. Customs held my car for 2 months, and they literally took it completely apart. They didn't find anything, so I doubt that you will.

Cop2: Alright sir, you have a good night.

Cop1: ?

Me: ?

Cop2: I'm ready if you are.

Cop1: Sir, get GA tags on this car alright? If I see you again, I'm gonna impound your vehicle.

Me: ?......thanks

Then they got back into there car, and drove off. The cops who were in the second car behind my friends never even got out. So they stopped me, to talk...about nothing? The shit tooks almost an hr. What the hell? I know I'm missing something, someone explain to me what happened? This happened last night, and I had the whole night to think it over. I still dont get what happened.

[ahmonrah]

ah, you love it.....:goodjob:

[babygurl]

ok what exactly are the laws with out of country plates?

I mean if you are suppose to have state issued plates, keep the swedish plates on and just put the other ga state issued in your back windshield??

again i dont know the laws so please explain them to me?

[Jimmy B]

it looks suspisious.. do the EASY thing, and switch it over to US plates.. it will cure alot of headaches.. trust me,.. i did everything on my car that i could that WAS legal, but didnt look legal

[SLOWLYbtngU]

I am sorry but after following u that night and watching people give the wtf? look...Yeah ur tags stand out...

He just wanted to make conversation. They are allowed to get bored to ya know.

[HvyArms]

?


this is what I was planning to do, but at this point, Im not even sure. And I dont know exactly what the law is. I dont think the police really know either, and thats why it's also so strange when they stop me. We're just looking at each other half the time, like duuuuhhhh

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

yeah, after the first time, I would have thought you would have gotten GA plates.. whats the hold up?

[HvyArms]

[babygurl]

Well then just get the legal plates, but keep them in the back windshield, and check up on the laws. Like someone else said it will save a lot of headaches

[SLOWLYbtngU]

[Crazy Asian]

[Tank]

i had teh same problem once i returned from germany i had german plates and thes dumb fucking cops dont know there own law til they pull you over and waste about 1 hr of your time sorry to hear someone else had to go through the stupidity

[HvyArms]

Well, from what I know about the law, you have to have state tags on your car if you're a resident. I am, I mean I'm a student but I'm also a resident. And I dont have any papers that say I'm from Sweden. They get confused though, somehow me telling them that the car was shipped here from Sweden just f's their mind up. It's not that complicated, but street cops are kind, mmm oopid. Kinda dumb, so they wanna harrass me about the law, that Im not even breaking. I'M A DAMN LAW STUDENT, why they wanna test my gangsta?

[SLOWLYbtngU]

Cuz ur umm oopid...

[SLOWLYbtngU]

Oh are u going to the meet on Fri? I convinced my roomie to go w/ me to a "car" thing...I am so excited!!!

[HvyArms]

[SLOWLYbtngU]

OMG!! Go to Whoreslounge front page and look at the stickies...It is most likely the first one..."Oktoberfest"

That thing...

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Maybe I missed this somewhere, but what kind of car do you drive?

[05Tib]

part of all the time it took is when your friends got off the road behind the police car. They didnt want to get out in fear they may get shot or something over a traffic stop so they called in another car to park behind your friends to hopefully keep anything bad from happening to them

yeah I totally understand that, it happens all of the time. my issue, is that they stopped me, and didnt even come up with a citation. why stop me if you;re not gonna cite me. Like Slowly said, to talk I guess. Im getting GA plates though

[SLOWLYbtngU]

Im getting GA plates though
And therefore...this thread is done....

So...U going or not?

agree. stopping u over plates that they dont even know the law about is dumb. Wasted your time theirs over nothing... if they knew what they were doing then it would be diffrent.

[ahmonrah]

Yes I even tried this on a girl cop...she said do you want to goto jail tonight?bwahaahahaha!!!!!

[~The_Duke~]
