DC Police
I live in Gaithersburg suburbs nearby the DC Area.. based on my experience, theres alot of cops..maybe not as many as cali.. but theyre strict hardasses especially on exhaust noise, tint, stickers, how low your car is, etc etc.. ive been stopped 8 times, suspended license twice, driver improvment program, restricted license at the moment.. theyre bringing me down but maybe i deserve it lol.. anyways.. are you moving down here?

I have been stopped once for speeding, but I can't deny I wasn't, but again I live in MD. People usually get together at local places which quickly gets broken up. MD you can't have more than 35% tint and techinically any modification is considered "illegal." blah. I think having someone like you in the department to educate the other police officers that not everyone with a modified car is a crazy driver, would be great. Even though I know you will do your best to be fair, other cops necessarily aren't.

Rep Power: 276 Thanks to all who replied. AznRocka, thanks you are the man. And yes i want to be fair and honest, all i want to do is work everyday and start a family. For some reason i was thinking that DC,MD,and VA would not be very strict on cars. I went to Hampton Univ in Va and i dont remember it being that bad. I am from jersey and i thought we were tough. Are there private inspection place in DC,MD,AND VA? I dont think my car would pass. I have 35%tint,CAI,CATBACK. Which was cool in NJ. What do you guys think?

Rep Power: 412 I passed with all that. The thing I failed for was my eyelids. I took them off and passed. If you live in MD you should be fine. VA and DC are more strict. VA is a PITA actually. They have private inspections down here, so maybe if you pay enough you can pass
