    uhm, here's the scoop.

    Cops use things like blue leds, tint, license frames, and tags to pull "profiled" people over. Profiling itself is illegal, but cops know as well as you and I do (be honest) that people with tuners are often trouble makers (burning out in parking lots, blasting radios in residential areas, etc...).
    Bluntly put, cops are just pulling you over about those two little blue leds not because other drivers will ACTUALLY think you are a cop, but because legally they can pull you over for them...and then they can proceed to peek in your car, smell your breath, etc. It's an excuse to not be blamed for profiling.

    In our perspective it's easy to shoot cops down for the whole ordeal (because we weren't doing anything wrong) but frankly I dont mind being pulled over and be hassled for 10 minutes if it's going to take one of these punks that gives our good rep a bad one to jail. Think of it as airport security. I have an arabic last name, so that "Random security" screening is anything but. But I'm willing to sacrifice 10mins of my time for a bigger cause.

    My advice: be nice, tell the cop you appreciate his work and go on your way. I can speak for 90% of my team when I say "we have nothing to hide or worry about". (that other 10% is Travis, I wish he'd stop carrying that dildo around)

    i will agree with this for the most part, then there are the cops that are just assholes, they like to pull over everyone for everything because it gets them off or something. then there is the opposite side of the scale where the cops pull you over and then ask you about your ride, and want to sit there and BS about theirs, hell i have had more then one ask to hear the stereo with THEIR cd that they had in the car or to take a "quick ride" it doesnt change the fact that the cop that pulled over ron is a racist , and that ron is a ricer
