That is another thing.
One thing I guess I can be thankful for it that I have not been pulled over for my exhaust. It is quite enough to the point that it does not attract any unwanted attention. lol, my friend on the other hand, once again, who owns a truck, has a glass pack or the equivalent on his F150. If you really get on the truck, it will cackle or backfire or whatever you want to call it. He's done it right by cops, nothing yet..

So the State troopers are out to get you? That sucks, they used to be out to get me but, then I grew up and started obeying the laws and guess what? I haven't been pulled over in 5 years. I know it is a crazy idea, but it works. If you feel you are getting treated unfairly, then complain to the troopers supervisors in your area. Do not hate on cops for enforcing traffic laws, that is what they are there for. Most of the officers I know are car guys, they really could give 2 shits about window tint, but talk to them with a chip on your shoulder they are likely to give you a hard time as well. Just give them a break, as they have heard it all. Be respectful in you conversation to law enforcement, it's good karma, and they will let you go with a warning or at least at minimum a break on what ever ass-hattery you were doing. End this thread.

LOL! I love where you get off!!!
First of all, you assumption I am doing ANYTHING wrong is just ridiculous. Did you not read what I posted? How about the other person here? We are NOT doing anything illegal or against the law. Please realize and understand this.
Therefor I am going to COMPLETELY disregard your comments about following the laws (considering we are). The cops around this area are far from car guys too, so take that for what its worth.
I am always respectful when/if I get/am pulled over. That is the reason I do not understand why I get a warning for doing nothing wrong. I mean seriously; I do nothing wrong, they pull me over, I am respectful, so why do I deserve to be harassed by them? (The answer is, I nor does anyone else deserve to be.)
I will not entertain your comment on "karma" with a reply, for the simple fact there is no such thing.


Please read and understand everything before assuming.

You're car is illegal if it has darker than 50% tint, no cat, excessively loud exhaust, etc...

I used to get pulled over all the time when I was young for the same kind of stupid shit but never complained about it, if things are illegal that's the chance you take.

I've been able to talk my way out of some tickets and I'm always very respectable but sometimes you can't just talk you way out of things. Stop breaking the law or have illegal things installed and then if you get pulled over then you can maybe complain, but you still probably did something wrong.

Well my tint wasn't dark at all; I could see out of it fine, so it was not bothering anybody. My exhaust is not loud by any means. There is no cat on it, but who here REALLY has a cat on their car?

My problem is, nothing that is really worthy of pulling me over, has been getting me pulled over. How are the cops going to know I do not have a cat? lol Their aren't. So that doesn't even work into being a factor.

On the contrary; to be pulled over for something I did not do to my car is retarded. The tint was on the car when I got it. I told the cop that. He didn't seem to understand. I do not get what is so hard about understanding I was not the one who installed the tint.

Then we get back to the fact it was not even dark.







^ I mean really, look at it for yourself.

I won't get into how I "still probably did something wrong." because as I have explained, I've done nothing illegal.

I can see out of my tint that's 20% too. Does that make it legal? I think not.

I actually still have a cat on my car. The point was if there is anything not legal on your car, you can techincally get a ticket for it. Thats the price we pay and the risk we run. If you can't afford a ticket, get out of the game now.

Clearly something was worthy of pulling you over if you got pulled over. Either you drove like an asshat or had something about your car that attracted the police.

Cry me a river, you know if tint is on the border line of being too dark or not. When I got my evo I knew the tint was too dark and I got pulled over for it along with no front plate. I knew both were ilegal but I liked it and sometimes you just have to pay the ticket when you get one or take off the tint and put on a front plate.

Go away, build your shitty dsm, and stop bitching

That's a two-way street man Just focus 110% on not attracting attention to yourself and being extremely polite and respectful to law enforcement. Whenever I get pulled over, 90% of the time it is because I am doing something stupid. The other 50% of the time its because I have illegal tint. Read between the lines there and you'll see that it's generally my fault.

That being said, I'd love to see 85mph speed limits on freeways and more fair/realistic tint and exhaust laws but ultimately it's not gonna happen anytime soon. Make due with what you have, be respectful or earn enough money to pay for the tickets/fines you're going to incur along the way.

Well thank God I have never recieved a ticket. I would not be too happy.

Oh! You also have to remember the stupid people that are jealous of the kind of car you own. Then call you in for "almost running them over, and running stop signs". Another one of the biggest crocks of shit I have ever had to deal with.

You really need to lose this sentiment, it's a dsm not a ferrari. Don't get me wrong, I freaking love dsms, I've owned 4 of them now...but the point is it's a fast econobox, not a porsche. That's what makes them fun, people underestimate them.

So yea, speaking of being respectful, be respectful to other motorists too...otherwise they'll call you in for any excuse they get.
