    Default License plate ?

    My father was a Vietnam vet and recieved the Purple heart so he is allowed to have a purple heart tag with no fees. He just found out he can have more than one Purple Heart tag, but only one can have no fees.

    My ? is, I have a custom license plate that stands out, should I get a purple heart tag for my car? I kno I am not a war veteran and that is what I told my dad (dont want to be a poser) but it would prob. help out with the cops and not being harassed as much.... anyone care to give me their 2 cents?

    To me, it would be disrespectful as hail. And another, maybe if you don't drive in a manner that will get you "harassed" so much, you might not be "harassed." Unless of course you do drive as if your DNA consisted of the driver manual and you're just another one of "I GET HARASSED BECAUSE OF MY CAR OR MY COLOR" crowd. What crap. If I were a cop and saw you with a Purple Heart tag and you're obviously not old enough to have been in that sort of predicament, I'd "harass" you then. Later, QD.

    well, I'm white but not its not that. I get harassed a lot b/c of the tint on my car. No matter if im going slow, pulling out of McDonalds, anything they love to pull me over and try to search the car.


    I udnerstand the disrespect thing. Thats Why i asked. I didn't feel it was right to take credit in something I didnt earn.

    Explain this: How is that you call it "harassment" when you're knowingly(or not knowing) doing something against the law? Later, QD.

    ur out to get me arent you?

    I asked a simple ? man, no need to flip out.

    a year ago I got thrown in jail for passing a charger at 45mph in 55. They said I was racing, cuffed me, impounded my car, and i spent around 3k bucks on lawyers and fees b/c of some dumbass cop saying i was racing. Since my record wasnt the best in the world, they believed the cop over me.

    I'm not out to get you. And where do you see me flipping out? I answered your question, calmly, and, in the same calm manner, asked you a simple question. How does your F&F story answer my question. I just like to understand how, when you know you have too dark tinted windows, it would be harassment if they pull you over for it. Is it the tint's shop's fault? Did you beg them not to put too dark tint on there and they did it anyway? Later, QD.

    i wouldnt do it just for the fact there are war veterans driving around that actually means something to, ESPECIALLY if you are doing it for reasons to keep cops off. Ive NEVER had cop issue with any of my cars/ Try driving better? Plus if they saw a younger person driving it, they may fuck with you more thinking its stolen or something

    I am 21 driving a bright red mustang and they think mommy and daddy paid for it so just a bunch of reasons. But o'well. that is why i asked.

    but I drive 100 miles a day on 85 and i usually sit in the far right lanes behind a semi and just cruise at like 25. I hate pushing in the clutch. (this is during nasty rush hour)

    You bought a car that's a cop magnet, AND you tinted it, good job. Live with it. Window tint and a custom plate will attract the po po, remember that. I've never had either, and I NEVER get harassed. Anyone I know with tint usually gets fucked with though.

    If its so dark that people can't see you when you're driving its too dark and prepare to get stopped a lot.

    And I agree with what someone else said, get a daily driver and only pull the Mustang out on weekends. That way you can blend in better.

    you don't need a license plate to make the cops "not mess with you", don't drive like a fool, speed, or act suspicious. Why spend the money on that tag when you can get those family of a police man stickers for next to nothing

    what a stupid contradiction, you just told him he should drive better to avoid cops and then you told him to get a sticker to do it.

    i say stop being a goddamn cunt and you wont get pulled over, ive owned modified cars from the time i was 16 and have been pulled over plenty of times, all of which were warranted, not once did i have a purple heart tag, a black/blue stripe sticker...its all about how you drive and how you present yourself, if theyre pulling you over for your tint and its legal then take the shit off if you dont like it, otherwise stfu and stop whining about getting pulled over
