Rant

[Captain-Obvious™]

I'm sick and tired of hearing people complain about getting tickets or arrested etc. for thing that they know are illegal. Speeding, HIDs with no projectors, slamming a car on the ground, having tires that show wires.... These are all things that most of us as car enthusiasts have/do. But wake up people these are all things that are on the books as illegal. If you wanna do these things knowing full well that they are illegal then go ahead, that's fine, I'm not gonna say anything to you about it. But don't turn around and bitch when you get a ticket or arrested for it. We all know the risks, take responsibility for your own actions.

Because they are obviously out to get modified Hondas because they are just jealous of how awesome my performance machine is and how blue/purple/pink/green my HIDs are.

dont forget the 11.3 decibel, high pitch noise from the exhaust when im always in full throttle!!!

[Sammich]

it's not just hondas, i'm sorry, i received the less issues when i had my integra, i was constantly harrassed locally by county police when i owned my maxima. the times i got stopped for no seatbelt, i accepted that, i've gotten pulled on a bogus speeding charge before as well....that was the #1 reason why i decided to get out of it

[98blackcivic]

man ive had no problems with having a modified car on the rd...
i actually thought that getting pulled over for ride height, bright lights and loud muffler was an urban legend...

It happens, rarely. Most of the time tickets for those sorts of things stem from being pulled over for speeding or something of that nature. The cop will be like "By the way....How low is this thing?"

[CptWitwiki]

i have been profiled bc at the time i had a bright orange car so they assumed that i was some punk ass kid. but i was speeding, so it was my fault... but i was going flow of traffic.

I never understood it, either. Profiling because of your car? Lolol. Later, QD.

[Browning151]

Neither do I, it's really not that hard to follow the laws, whether you agree with them or not. If you choose to do things that you know are illegal, why bitch about it? Man up and accept the consequences. I've been ticketed for tint before, I didn't get an attitude with the officer or go online and post some long winded rant about "fuck the popo", I paid the ticket and went on. I knew the consequences when I got the tint, and accepted them when I got caught for it, pretty simple concept.

[Relentless]

I never get an attitude when pulled over, all that does it make things worst on yourself. I usually try to crack a joke with the officer and be as cool as possible. Has gotten me out of a ticket once.

[green91]

I have a lowered car but i dont drive like an asshat.. and guess what? I dont get pulled over. Even in road blocks i usually get compliments or they cut up with me. It really has to do with your attitude a lot too.

[SamB18Larkin]

I Agree with not saying fuck cops. I got pulled over once going 75 in a 55 and i got away with no probs, no ticket, no citation. I was just cool about it and the cop told me what i was risking and try to keep my speed down. the man even complimented my car, and it has fucked up paint lol

[Got Milk?]

You don't get it because you probably never had bad experiences with them. Just like people who believe that racism and discrimination don't exist... lol

Getting pulled over for a non-modified car that doesnt look like "your" car, or having officers laugh at you for driving an older car when u couldn't afford to fix certain things. Or being pulled over 3 times in a single trip while being suspected of being "drunk" although the test passed with the Highway Patrolman, the Sherriff so the city Cop felt the need to also test you. Seeing as I never modify my cars (or at least to date). Or being pulled over for going 59 in a 55 and having your car searched because of "rumors" in the city.

That's why I can talk trash about an officer, lookin for money, not looking to enforce the law.

[blaknoize]

Oh, yea, it happens. Often, at least where I was raised. You arent my facebook friend (if u even know what that is, lol) I was profiled in my NEW car.

I don't buy it. I'm not saying it probably never happens, but I'm sure it's waaaaay more often than not that the driver of what "profiled" car was pulled over did something to be pulled over. Everyone seems to blame their indiscretions on them being profiled.

And I have no idea what you're trying to say in the second part. Later, QD.

Well as my post on FB stated. I was driving home from a friends house in Portsmouth, OH (where u see my car pictured). Up route 23 during the time change. It was 3am, a Ohio Highway Patriolman ended up behind me at a light. He drove behind me for 1.4miles, speed limit is 35, I was going 35 as I knew he was behind me. Over the bridge through 3 more lights... then turns his flashers on and pulls me over in a Pizza Hut parking lot. I have the white Accord u see in my sig.

He comes up and before he even speaks I say "you have absolutely no reason to pull me over, you're either hoping I'm drunk, carrying drugs, or 'could be drinking, so I'll give you a min for you to think of a reason you pulled me over'". He stutters saying "ah.. ah.." so I interrupt and say "yea, just because Scioto county was on A&E and National Geographic for meth and pills, you feel that u can just stop 'me' (as I was upset) all the time". Then I finished and said "I'm sick of being profiled here, it happens everytime I'm in town..."

So he doesnt even look in my car, takes my license and registration to his car, 2mins later comes back and explains he pulled me over because of my vanity plate, the lightly tinted plate cover. (not because I'm missing my front plate, which would of been a reasonable excuse to stop me IMO). He finishes with a "is this your car?? I say "what does the registration say?" He hands my things back and I leave. 3mins total time for the stop, just to check, when nothing was wrong.

So you started off a traffic stop by being a dick? I would have made your night a PITA. lol

Driving at 3AM police typically will follow you or stop you for a quick look. Not many people are out at that time and many that are are up to no good. I'm glad they do it, every now and then they do find someone that is up to no good. That's HAS NOTHING to do with your car though, it's a damn Accord, not a Ferrari. lol

I've been pulled over many times late at night, never gotten a ticket, never been harassed, always a friendly conversation.

As for those of you saying cops profile, yes, maybe they do if you're driving like an idiot or driving a fast and the furious machine with your seat reclined, arm halfway out the window, and hat on tilted up. You look like monkeys.

[Echonova]

You look like monkeys.

Why you gotta go straight to racism?

[Sinfix_15]

Theyre really not much use for anything you have to call them for. Unless they catch something in the act, theyre mostly worthless. Traffic violations are their main source of revenue.

I called the police when a 15 person brawl broke out next door. When the police arrived, they walked over and questioned the people and they said everything was fine. The police came back and told me the neighbors said everything was fine and there was nothing they could do about it. The road, driveway, my vehicle, my front door where one of them came asking for help had blood all over it. I dont mean a drop or 2... i mean blood running down the side of my car and smeared on my door. The cops pretty much said "everything is fine now" and left. Didnt so much as make them clean up or anything.

I have never CALLED the police and got help from them. If they drive by and see a bank being robbed, yeah they will stop it. If you call them to your house. 99.99999999999% of the time, theyre worthless as fuck.

Exactly. Why did you have to be a dick to the cop? Maybe he was just checking if the car was stolen. Maybe next time someone jacked your nice ride at 3AM while you're hugging your pillow the cop wouldn't pull them over and it would be on a boat to South America by the time you wake up and report it....

[Sinfix_15]

Sucks to be anyone who needs the police. I've never had the police be useful in any domestic situation. Even when the evidence was boldly presented. I've called the police multiple times in regards to people abusing children and nothing ever happened. My aunt used to babysit for a girl in her neighborhood and after seeing multiple evidences of abuse, she called the police and social services. The police came out, investigated, and found bags of cocaine hidden under the mattress of the baby crib. 2-3 weeks later, everything went back to normal, child was returned. I've called the police because of my nephews calling me saying their mom's boyfriends were hitting them, police come out and see bruises, lash marks ect on the child, find both the parents drunk and/or stoned and the only police action taken was them threatening to arrest me for threatening the boyfriend.

Criminals seem to benefit from the police equally as much as law abiding citizens.

[Elbow]

Well I've completely opposite dealings with the police. So...

[David88vert]

I have to agree with Sinfix on this one. I have never had the police be useful to me. I've been a business owner, home owner, etc. Not one time can I say that I have actually have had them improve a situation. I have had them harass me illegally several times, and have been able to get a couple of officers fired for their actions when they went over the line. I'm no saint, but there is no reason that myself or any other law-abiding citizen should be treated poorly, yet watch officers ignore evidence when it does not financially benefit the government.

So you're driving through a county known for meth and whatever other drugs at 3am and you wonder why you might be pulled over? And how is this related to you being pulled over because your car was profiled? Seems to me you were pulled over in a known drug area during the wee hours of the morning. I don't see profiling at all. Later, QD.

[frostbyte]

I got arrested by a dirty cop in douglasville a couple years back. I had my old 240sx towed on a dolly to the emmission shop at the end of my road which is in a privately owend gas station and i happen to be good friends with the owner of the gas station and emmission shop. I went thru the hassle of loading it so i wouldnt get in trouble as my tags were expired even though its less than a mile from home. I unload park the car and park the truck and dolly beside it. As i waited for the guy to get the dyno up and running i went in the store and was talking to tye owner for 10 min when he noticed a cop going thru my car.i walked out nice and didnt walk up behind him i approched him from the front and asked what the deal was he asked for license and insurance. I gave it to him... I went to jail. Ue said i had a warrent in gwinnett... Never even called in my license just lookd at it and blam in handcuffed... So 6hours later i walked out of the jail as gwinnett had no warrent... Walked 9 miles to my car at the station still to see the cop arrest someone else... Court day comes around and what ya know the report says he pulled me over but there was no tape.... Charges dropped but lost the bail money and cop was sternly talked too... That same day 9 cases were thrown out because of the cop and hes still on the force.... Everytime i drive thru that town now if he recognizes me i get stopped 29min later as they can only hold u for 30 min i get released yet i do written comolaints and nothing.... Some cops just really are durty

[frostbyte]

I may add as well... He and his commanding officer frauded the police report and the cop was a transfer from fulton county because of the same reason... Fraud!!! Like most state city or county cars now days the camera turns on when the lights are flashed therefore he woulda recorded pulling me over but all 9 traffic stops leading to arrests that day the camera didnt record somehow.... Go figure

Yes I started off being a dick. He has no reason to stop me. You actually live in a big city (or metro) where people actually are out and about at 3am. The time changed, it was actually 2am till 2:01am when it jumped an hour. Secondly, I received no ticket, because he had NO REASON TO STOP ME. Nothing whatsoever, I was not speeding, not tailgating, no loud exhaust, nothing. So I helped him shorten his unnecessary stop.

If he was not profiling me, wouldn't he have continued his duties as an officer would normally do? Like actually call into dispatch for info on the driver? Or, as he claimed, that my vanity plate "obscured vision of my license plate" wrote me a ticket to fix it, at the very least? He did none of that.

No, I have family I visit every 2 weeks and have friends like everyone else does who are adults without curfews. I was raised there and have been stopped unncessarily far to much. I mention my car because the area is depressed, if someone is driving something "out of character" it warrants a stop. Not because the car is hot, but because the driver doesnt fit the car. I can't put his tense in words because this is text but the sentence "is this your car" is not the same as professionally asking is this your car. As if he just assumed it wasn't mine.

Oh and if I may add, this place wasnt "known" for meth till after the National Geo and A&E broadcasts. Since Floridians like to call Portsmouth home and sell 90 day supplies of Oxycodine and such for $200 and a signature.

First off, Portsmouth is hardly a big city. And whether or not it was "known" by the public (through TV) as a hotbed of meth activity, it was known to local DEA (and other police) of it's illegalities. Also, curfew or not, driving around at any time of of the wee hours (especially in a "drug town") is surely to draw some attention. It may not be warranted, but it could happen. Personally, I would be happy if I was a law-abiding citizen living in such a town and knew that the police were out there looking for folks involved. Lastly, I don't understand the act of being an asshole to cops. Why intentionally make matters worse? If you know you're good, just go through the motions and be on your way. Later, QD.

Cops pull people over late at night, they can make up a BS reason, you should be happy they're doing more than just shooting radar, if you didn't get a ticket or "randomly get arrested" then no point in even caring.

FUCK DA PO LEEES.

i love when people say that and then when something bad happens expect the police to fix everything & make it all better.

Overly obsessive about following traffic laws is a piece of a profile, especially at 3am. The people that pay that close of attention to speed limits at that time of night are those with something to hide. You said you were in a meth county, there is strike 1. You could have easily been drunk, strike 2. Unusual driving habits, yes, I know how stupid that sounds, is strike 3. 1 more thing to consider, if you were paying that much attention to your mirrors and gauages that you knew exactly were the cop was, how far you went, and exactly how fast you were going, there is a good chance you were also drifting side to side in your lane, causing even more suspicion.

I'm just going to call BS on this one. A cop isnt just going to make up a story about a warrant because it is a slam dunk lawsuit for false imprisonment, and one that you can go after the officer personally for. When you got to the jail, the officer would also need the warrant number in order to book you. Without that info, the jail would likely refuse to take you.
