Do cops hate imports?

[ilovemyhonda.]

I have been pulled over in my stock Civic, and everytime they had a legit reason to pull me over. Was I happy? Of course not. You can only speed so many times, before your luck evenutally runs out. I don't think it is really based on what you drive, but how you are driving. I do think that the more a car stands out, the more a cop might notice you. Also, I am sure some cops will pull people over without a legit reason and then try to find a reason once pulled over, I have seen this before, but still you must have done something to get noticed in order to be pulled over. Some cops take there job more seriously then others and will pull people over for small things, as opposed to other cops who don't pull people over unless it's something big. Don't drive like and idiot and bring attention to yourself and do things you shouldn't be doing unless YOU are prepared to pay the consequences. I speed occasionally when I don't have my child in the car, and I don't always use my turn signals, and I am not a perfect driver, however if I get pulled over for not following the laws, then I own up to my actions. I may complain, because I don't want to own up, but I was in the wrong, not the cop. I am always prepared for the consquences if I get caught. But I never owned a domestic, so I can't really answer the question from personal experience.

Wrong. I've been pulled over for being in a neighborhood the police didnt think I should be in. I did nothing wrong. They had no reason to stop me nor did I bring any attention to myself.

You got pulled over because you were in a neighborhood they thought you shouldn't be in...that means you were noticed..

So is it illegal or a crime to be noticed? i could understand if he was driving funny like circling the neighborhood a few times .. or creeping threw real slow.. but just driving come on.I cant count the times i have been pulled over on franklin road, just for being on franklin road.(Cop said ) "Sir do you know you are in a known drug haven",And i said Well maybe you should go arrest the drug dealers. Because i just came from the Qt i had to get gas....

I mean we weren't there he could be leaving part of the story out. I HAVE NEVER BEEN PULLED OVER, just because. I had an expired tag, I got pulled over. I was speeding, I got pulled over. I did something wrong all the times I got pulled over. Well if you watch cops you would see if your in a known drug area a lot of people get pulled over for being in the area..hold on..I am at work and sleep as fuck.. I know what I want to say but I am to sleepy to think of how to put it into words..

I have only had 1 ticket my whole life and it was for failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sight(because my car rolled back a lil.

cops don't even try to pull you over on franklin unless they have backup.

I don't think it's right to say that "cops" hate imports. Sure, some hate imports, some probably dislike them a little, and some probably love them. Also, there are probably cops that hate domestics. I've been pulled over only in a fixed up civic, several times, but each time I did something to atleast get noticed in the first place.
I've had friends that got pulled over for no reason in imports, but they were let go without tickets because they weren't assholes to the cop. A lot of people automatically assume they got pulled over just because of the car they're in...and act like a dick. That'll get you a ticket everytime. Also some of friends that were pulled over, the cops actually talked to them about their car and mods done.

lol this is true!!


ok i have some stories to contribute.

1. me and some friends stopped by at the McDonalds off 75 on Windy Hill after getting back from the 104 meet. i was in my car, and the cars i was with : a white rx8, a blue DC, a yellow mazda speed prtotege, a black 3rd gen eclipse, and a primed black EG. i think thats right. well anyway, we pulled into the parking lot and lined up in drive-thru b/c the inside was closed. when we were pulling in a cop went by, stoped at the light, busted a U-turn, pulled into the parking lot, creeped beside us and ran each of our tags for no reason. if that isnt profiling that idk what is.

2. my friends were going to go drop off a friend in his white 97 EJ. they were in lithia springs going through some back roads. they see a cop at a red light and kept going. they get pulled over b/c my friend in the back seat was leaning foward making it seem like he didnt have a seat belt. they see that he has like 5 jumbo air fresheners on his rear view and check his car b/c they say he has to be hiding something..... nothing was found and that was that.

3. i was with some friends going home from lithia springs back to cobb. we were on austell rd. it was me in my integra, a coffee color EG, a primed integra, a primed EJ, a white EJ, and a blue integra. we were going the speed limit, just cruising home. we pass an intersection where i see a cop in the turning lane preparing to turn left. I literally saw him look at us go by and immediatley bust a U-turn behind us. he got behind me and obviously ran my plates and slowed down enough to run every1 elses. after i see that he has ran every1's tag, i see he U-turns back the way we came...

You got pulled over because you were in a neighborhood they thought you shouldn't be in...that means you were noticed..

Yes i was noticed doing the speed limit to go to my destination. Yes I was noticed...its called profiling in that case. I didnt have tints or anything, my car at the time was completely stock, and I wasn't speeding b/c my GPS said my destination was coming up soon and I didnt want to pass it. It did happen to be an extremely wealthy neighborhood. And what you said proves my point. SOME cops do pull over ppl for no reason. Some people, not just on here but in general, think that b/c you are pulled over you MUST have been doing something, and that is just plain wrong. Im all for "if you CATCH me doing something, then damn you got me oh well", but if im not doing anything wrong or breaking any laws and I get stopped anyway, its the police who is doing something wrong, not me. And just b/cyou are noticed doesnt mean you did something wrong. Pulling a person over b/c a certain cop THINKS they dont belong there is wrong. If the cop feels a certain way then maybe watch them, but dont pull them over....not unless they actually give a reason.
