For all you cop-haters
Before I joined 7thgen, I was pulled over on the coast highway in CA just north of San Diego. It was in the morning with all the runners, bikers, and beach people. I was doing about 50 in a 30. Pretty screwed. I never saw the cop until the next red light. He flashed his lights and pulled me over. He asked me if I knew the speed limit and I told him 30. He then asked me where I was going, I told him school. Are you in a hurry, I said no. He explained why he pulled me over with all the bikers and runners everywhere, I told him I understood. But the entire time I respected him, EXPECTING him to give me a ticket. He let me go and actually said I was only going 45.
I later read the really long post on "how to get out of a ticket, etc." on 7thgen and realized I had done most of the stuff on that post. I kept my hands on the wheel, didn't cop an attitude or raise my voice. I should have gotten a fat ticket, but I was let go and the guy was totally cool. So props to the Carlsbad, CA police department for hiring good cops. And a lesson for all you people that think that every single traffic cop is crooked. Just be respectful.

So true d00d! Read my post about Jumping the Red light...That cop was alright! He actually complimented the tunes I had on..."Hey - White Zombie...sweet!" he said...lol.
The other thing you can do if you get pulled over and have dark windows is turn on your dome lights, roll your window all the way down and put your hands on the edge in clear view of the approaching officer....Also, if you're gonna have to go into your glove box or pocket for something, for god sakes, tell them first...I had a gun drawn on me one night because I went for the inside jacket pocket....very scary, rookie cop I beleive.

Rep Power: 0 Hey Blckout, what is the policy on giving out tint tickets? I know in CA that it's illegal on the front windows, but will you pull someone over JUST for the tint without any suspicions or other infractions?

if i suspect you are drunk and you have illegal tint, ill use that for a reason to pull ya over.

I had a friend that was a Sheriff here in so-cal. He would always use dark tint as an excuse to stop people he suspected of being dirtbags.
Doesn't mean he'd cite for it all the time, he'd just use it for the initial stop.
