He didn't use a radar gun.....he used VASCAR....lines painted on the road and they time you with a stopwatch or something......I heard they can only write a ticket for up to 5 over if they use vascar.....it was an old cop who was probly just didnt like me cause I am a young kid with my ears pierced drive a yellow car, and look like I could be a trouble maker, which is the farthest thing from the truth.

I can safely say everytime I got pulled over I did something that grabbed his attention except for the time I was pulled over purely for a burned out lic plate light. That was pure harassment. The cop was asking me all these bunk questions about if im on perolle and where im coming from or where im going and all this shit. Worst part is I was about 3 blocks from my house, after he tailed me for approx 1/2 mile looking for me to do something stupid.

u think that is bad, u have no idea. i got pulled right infront of my house just for not having lights on my lic plate. the funny thing is that he busted a U turn a block away from my house just cause i looked @ him and followed me. then i parked acrossed the street of my house and he asked me how old i was and who's car is it and where i lived. all i did was point to the house and said "Right there" and he just let me go. i tell u when ever u need a cops help they are never around but when u dont want them they are everywhere.... :finger: COPS :finger:

[silver89civic]

argh!

Dude, the last time I got pulled over was for my blue neons in my old 91 hatchback, in the hatch area around my stereo. I had no tint on, so it was crystal clear. I was comming home from work, and I passed right in front of 2 county sheriffs. They both pulled me over (at the same time... I guess they were having a doughnut break together or something), and right when I looked in my rear view mirror, I saw them start to pull up behind me. I had my neons wired to a switch so I turned them off. Right when I get pulled over to a stop, the one officer was like why did you turn off your blue neons? I was like, I dont have any, Hoss. He was like dont lie to me... I said ok, cuz I saw you. He then said I could bust you for 3 things... 1) your exauhst 2) your neons and 3) your system (I was listening to BIa Bia slowed down... anyone that has heard that song by Lil Jon slowed down knows it SLAMS! ). When he took my license away and walked back to his car, he then turns around and says, turn your blue neons on real quick... he wanted to see how visable they were from outside the car. As I reached for the switch, I accedentaly hit my headlight strobes ( VERY bright, and fast flashing... just like the real police ones). I was like OH SHIT!... I turned them off as quick as I could, and hit the neon switch. I dont think he or is butt buddy officer ever cought me doing that cuz their curzer lights were going, and them might have thought that it was there lights... that would have sucked if they cought that. :silly2:

Yea, i got pulled over a long time ago for having green cobra eyes on my car. I got pulled over twice within 3 days for it, and both cops were cool about it though. I went back to their car and sat in the passenger seat while they wrote the warning, so I was like, hell if im gonna sit back here while he writes a warning, im gonna ask him some damn questions. So I ask him about the whole light laws and shit. They said that you cannot have lights coming from the front of the car unless they are white or amber, and any lights inside or undercar you cannot be able to see the light source, they both said that Oklahoma doesn't give a fuck if you light up the whole damn street, just as long as you don't see the bulb they can't do anything on it. And also they said its usually not the locals they say anything about lights and shit, just the countys and shit.

Needless to say, right after I got pulled over the 2nd time for them, i went home, popped the hood, and cut the wires. This was a yr or so ago. And I still have the cobra eyes on my car, just no wires. I don't know where my stock ones went, so they are filling the void. Hell, i don't even have windshield washer motors or the bottle anymore, never used the shit so i took it out.

No offence to anyone that has them but if you have any sort of washer nozzle lights you deserve a ticket.

[Civic Jim]

sorry to hear bout your ticket T-mo, cops r gay like that here too

lol, we have only had those washer jet lights for about a year in the UK lmao, and they WERE cool,

now they r just played out, but i did have a set on my charade turbo and liked em.

[quiXilver]

I had a '90 AWD Turbo Talon, and I had those washerlights on em, I wanted them, I don't give a fuck about who says there cool or not. Hell, now that they are supposedly not "in" anymore, I just bought a set for my honda like 2 weeks ago, and put them on a swtich this time. Anyone who thinks it was rice can suck my ass 'cause I would smoke their sorry car anyway-I miss that car, I know I'm a honda man now, but I miss my turbo awd, they are just so much faster; easier.

BTW I think I have theee worst town for bitch ass police. I live in a small, but growing fast town, with a bunch of old ppl and a bunch of young ppl, and they don't mix very well, the old ppl hate the young ppl, and the old ppl support the cops around here. It's said that Highlands County has the largest Cop per capita ratio in Florida! Yes, I live in the main city in Highlands county. They are EVERYWHERE!!!!! And they are ALL assholes, trust me, I can recognize like every cop in this town. One cop even pulled me over for yes, my exaust SOUND! I was at a stop light at like midnight, and pulled away pretty quick, and I didn't realize it was a cop about 50 yrds back. I didn't do anything else illegal, he pulls me over like 1 block from my house like they usually do, and says, "you know that exaust is illegal" SUCH CRAP! He said it "amplifies the sound of the motor" and TECHNICALLY it does not, if the muffler wasn't on there it would be louder than hell! am I wrong? IT'S CALLED A MUFFLER GENIUS!

I give another FUCK YOU to cops

i don't know what the decibel limit is there, but in washington i think it's 95 dbs. so if your car makes any kind of noise, whether it be your system or exhaust, and it's 95dbs or over they can bust you for noise pollution.

[sastanley]

95 decibels is pretty damn loud...anything over 90-92 is damaging to your hearing I think...anything around 95-100, I don't think you can stand to be next to it and stay there without your ear drums being in serious discomfort

[Melt]

my car is way below the decipal limit ... none of the times I have been pulled over have they said anything about my exhaust

[BLU CIVIC]

i had them on my car...got pulled over twice and got a ticket....but the judge let me off cause i took them out....

i think your putting it a little low there, i think its 130 db that is damaging to your ears, because 90 db is quiet man. I remember reading the 130 db thing off a Rockford Fosgate box.

If a cop pulls you over for the exhaust being too loud the best thing is to ask him how loud it is MOST of the time they don't have the equipment to measure the decibel levels i have been pulled over twice for my exhaust, and I got off both times because I asked them how loud my exhaust was and they couldn't answer, also In the county I live in not only are there strict noise level laws but it is illegal to have an aftermarket exhaust system on your car, which is COMPLETE BULLSHIT, especially since there was no exhaust system on my car when I bought it.
