oh! I forgot another thing that happened! When I got into my accident, one of the guys that used to be in my crew was in front of me. He had a pretty sick ass Tacoma truck. I mean full on custom EVERYTHING. He had those little windshield washer lights too. Now after everyone pulled off to the side of the road, all of the cars seemed okay, but his truck was hella leaking stuff out from under his engine. The cars started leaving after all of the insurance info was exchanged, but I stayed with my friend because he couldn't drive his truck. Eventually there were only like 3 cars left...mine, his, and one other guy's. So as we were waiting for the tow truck to come, this CHP pulls up. He comes up to us and asks if we need any help, and we told him that we had already done everything and it was all under control. He was like okay, and started to walk away, and then noticed the lights coming from his washers. The cop stopped and walked back to us and was like, "who's truck is this?" My buddy was like, "it's mine" So the cop was like, "what the hell are those?" and he just kind of looked at him. The cop was like, "those are illegal and if you don't get rid of them I'll give you a ticket" My buddy was like, "okay" and just kind of stood there. The cop leaned over to his ear and yelled "I mean now!!" So he started to get under his hood and was like, "well I don't know how" So the cop was like "Like this..." and he ripped the tubes, wires, everything out. Completely disregarding the fact that this kid's truck was totalled, he was a dick.
Oh! Another thing then, another one of my friends got into an accident in his '98 Teg. He flew into a field and rolled like 4 times, K? I mean you couldn't even tell what kind of car it was--it got so messed up. Somehow he managed to walk out and he called and I was the first one on the scene. A bunch of cars from our crew were there to make sure he was alright, but we decided that it wouldn't be a good idea to have like 5 cars with the same sticker on the windshield there when the cops came, so everyone left but me. The whole time my friend was sitting on the ground and he was so close to tears he was just shaking and wouldn't talk or anything. So finally the cops came, and what's the first thing they do? Run MY plates. I was like, 'okay...'
Then he walks over to my friend and tells him to stand up. My friend was hella shaky (I mean he SHOULDN'T have lived if you saw this car after the accident, it's a freaking miracle), so he was kinda wobbly when he stood up, and the cop immediately started doing all of those drug tests on him, asking if he doing anything, etc. Then the cop hella started being a dick to him, LYING and saying "yeah, there were reports of a red car racing up and down this street, was it you?" and my friend was like, "I was just on my way home from work" And the cop kept on trying to get stuff out of him that wasn't even there and accusing him of stuff that wasn't even happening. He was just harassing him and being like "why aren't you talking? what's wrong with you? are you on drugs?" and this and that, and I was just like, "omg, have you not seen what happened to him???" The cop finally went out into the field and found his car and looked at it, and he was like "damn". Even when he came back he was like, "you're lucky".
<sigh>
I dunno...I've met some cool cops and all, but I just hate how biased they are when it comes to modded cars...imports especially.
I think I get off a little easier, because there's been a few times when they were about to pull me over, and then they look over and see that I'm a girl, and keep on going (probably think it's my b/f's car or something...hahaha little do they know I've done it all myself... :evillaugh ) . I think it's incredibly unfair, but hey, that's life I guess...
