got 2 ridiculous tickets

[lude4henro]

ok so friday night went to a car show...everyone was leaving and there were so many cops on the ramp pulling people over. this stupid lady cop came out of no where in the middle of the road and told me to pull over. i should of just ran her over...it was on the high way after all. gay gay gay fairfax county. loudoun county would never pull me over so such stupidness. and the lady was like..."do you know why i pulled you over". i was like no and she was like "well i can tell your headlights are illegal from a mile away" (i have HID headlights...real ones) who the hell is she to say if my lights are illegal...most hondas and acuras have them now so wtf. and she thought my car was an accord...what an insult. then she went around and was like...did u know this was illegal, thats illegal, those are illegal also, and blah blah. like i fucking give a shit (in my head of course). but she took forever to write the ticket...everyone was at springfield already (the other show). she only gave me 2 tickets tho. exhaust and lights. she said she could tow the car but didnt...whatever. oh yeah did i mention fairfax county is gay?

ok im done. in a pissed off mood.

oh yeah isnt the Apexi World Sport Exhaust 50 state legal? how can i prove this? should i fight this in court? the cop said my exhaust has to be the sound of stock and the world sport is quiet like stock.




gay cops waiting to pull us over

that is bullshit I would have slapped that hoe. No just kidding sorry about the hardass time. And as for the exaust I have never heard of a ticket for that and HID lights that is fucked up to

[ttsupra15]

Probably a newbie cop and didnt want to get a bad rep from anybody. But that is gay and ever heard of brights?

You can fight the exhaust ticket easily. All world sport's come with a carb EO plate on the muffler canister.

You can also fight the HID ticket, depending on what your local laws are. The cop wrote that your lights were blue, when they are in fact NOT blue. You can ask them to examine your bulb casing (which won't be tinted any color at all since you have real HID's) to prove that you did not tint your bulbs any color, and that the changing colors are a byproduct of having HID headlights; which are also available on most new cars....which should be pulled over to then, if the "color" issue is what they're fighting for.

Stupid Cop.

Are HID's illegal if they don't come stock with the car? The cop said that you can only have 2 types of bulbs in the front and thats white and yellow and for the back is red or yellow.

[lude4henro]

Is there anyway I can get a document from Apexi saying that the exhaust is legal?

[lude4henro]

i am wondernig how the cop got my weight since it is not on my license. she put down 170 but i weigh 155. thats 15lbs over. could i get her on false info or falsely putting down info?

[lude4henro]

oh yeah my hair is black and eyes are black too

HID's are, in fact, illegal on cars that weren't designed to include them stock. The reason for this is that low-intesity lights are adjusted a certain way relative to the ground, but HID's are adjusted lower so that they dont blind other drivers. You can get a proper adjustment, and you probly did unless you got APC lights or something.

This shud be easy to fight. cops usually dont show up to court if u fight a BS ticket either, which makes them throw out the ticket.

I looked at my HID ballast and it has DOT with a code on it. Doesn't that mean it is legal? Also, where on the Apexi WS exhaust does it say carb legal? I looked on the tip but all it has is the Apexi insigna stamped on both sides and on the bottom of the muffler is Apexi again with a serial number. I'm not sure how I can prove it is legal. Anyone know? Thanks

Thats why i said depending on where you live. Most places consider them illegal if they didn't come on your car stock. (Proper height/angle adjustment issues)

My city doesn't have any issues against HID's.

That serial should be the carb EO number. That's all you need. Although, i'm not sure if carb numbers are relevant to the laws in SC.

[lude4henro]

would this work?
<p>

[SiGNAL748]

You could always have them call Apexi, i suppose.

Virginia is a commonwealth... they have stupid laws. im pretty sure one of the laws states that you cannot modify a cars exhaust from stock form. talk about ghey.... i grew up in a commonwealth.. Massachusetts. same frickin thing.
