Thumbs down my car is out of commision thanks to the cops!!!

well, guess what? my car is an unsafe motor vehicle as of today 9:05 am this morning
as this story goes i was on my way to school and i was jumping from progress onto mccowan and 401 and its a uphill road and i saw the way was clear and i made a slowly rolling and speed up and totally missed the stop sign. I GOT booked for that.. fine.. my bad. ill take that
BUT,

the most F**ked thing that happened after was totally wrong. as some of u have seen my ride its not a slammed or any where near tucked ... im running tein SS coilovers and the front has a 2.5 finger gap and my rear has 3.5 finger gap..
thats a huge gap if u ask me. anyway. after he takes my information he goes ahead and pushes my front driver side shock and it just goes down and up ... no bouncy ness cuz im running on mid setting of 8 out 16 on the coils. anyway ... all of a sudden he says my car is unsafe on the road. and goes ahead tells me this that if i hit a bump my car will jump around and if i crashed into someone i would kill and crash and cause one armageddon of a accident... *yeah ok* lease:
after all that he proceeds to take off my plates.. im still not believing he is actually fawking pulling my plates off my ride. im like wtf? are u for real... i argue with him and i turn my wheels all the way left and right and open my hood and .. as soon as my wheels are 45 degress.. cuz u cant turn any more he tells me im rubbing on the inside of the wheel wells?? wtf? .. i dont feel any thing ... well.. after that i got a summons for unsafe motor vehicle and failing to stop .
well this is my question.. will it affect my insurance if i re did my safety on the car to get it back on the road? and wtf is a summon's??? is that bad or good?.. personally i was totally being courtious to the copper the whole time... i got dissed too....but thats nothing.

if that re safety doesnt work.. how do i make my car safe to be on the road. ... personally tein SS is for the street. thats why they are called super street and does the cop have a right for doing that? plz i really need some help.... i never knew i can be jooked like this. thank you for ur time.

i can't believe they made you turn the wheel...

hope you can fight this!

man you got pwned bigtime....
you can win it in court...the cop's view is totally subjective...my advise would be to hire a ticket fighter...a summons isn't a good thing...it means u have to go to court etc...u get a summons for serioius tickets like street racing and DUI.

but if your car passed the critical test as you say then it should be ok...but i wouldn't chance it...talk to a ticket fighter 1st....

summons is a date wid the court.... **** yo.... that cop is such a tight ***.... ur car isn't even that low... i bet the cop was having a shitty *** day.... sorry he took it out on u man.....

i think u can prolly goto court and tell them that you installed aftermarket suspension b/c it helps your handling.... thatz sooo retarded.... how can having a stiff suspension be bad???.... ****in pig!!!..... look at a corvette.... or M3.... those suckers r sooo low..... and have such stiff shocks..... man u got shafted big time....

i did.. they said its 500 bucks from x-copper .. so im gonna shell out 1000 bucks to fight this BS ticket.
at any rate, the only good thing is that after i safety my vehicle and emission it, i can get new plates which is bloody fine. and im gonna jack my front up about 1 more inch.. and take off my mugen lip so it takes the view of it being SLAMMED away. .... the cop was a total a$$. plus, it was a old guy. i hope he gets HIS.... i totally have loss respect for cops today. i was thinking of only getting a ticket on running a stop sign.
well, if i hire a agent, do i still have to show in court?... i read the fine is from 400 bucks to 20,000 bucks for operating a unsafe motor vehicle.... if i jack it up wouldnt i be acknowledging that i am in fact guilty of the offence?

Since it's such a serious offence, you may have to show up in court. The X-Copper guys'll tell you want you need to do.....

DAMN... You got 0WN3D

So, he tooks both your front and back plates, then what?! WTF then with your car? He just left you there? Did you have to call a tow truck to tow your car? Where is your car now?!

try C.O.P.S. they only charge $200... and they dont charge unless they win.

If your coil overs are street legal.. and I am thinking they are.. I dont see why you cant win. Better yet, try calling around different Acura/Honda dealerships, and see if they sell the Tein SS... and also try contacting Tein SS, and get some legal information from them.

Hey brother...I PM'd you. I dont have all the info infront of me to help, but I will get back to you ASAP with legal info.

I will say this, sounds like you WILL beat this charge. Maybe not the stop sign, but deffly the unsafe.

Please dont let the whole thing ruin any respect you had for us....I understand your upset ( I would be too).

Hate the game, not the player.

Sorry to hear about this. The sad thing is you will probably beat the unsafe charge in court, but they still won't reimburse you for you new plates, registration, tow, etc.

In any case, best of luck to you.

...cops are good in one sense... but some of them... just really have nothing else to do. especially the big fat ones... i honestly dont even know how they became a cop in the first place...... i had one pull me over. **** off.... said my lights were a different colour, when they werent.... and ended up giving me tickets for not having my license and registrations... it wsa in the middle of the night and i wsa driving my ex. home..... sometimes......i just want to scream at them LOL

my neighbour's becoming a cop... proud of her for doing so... though she has to take the test again in january or so..

thanks guys i just took some pics of the car to show u.
well, im gonna go with a agent to fight it cuz i just dont want to lose 3 points for that silly mistake of mine. which i think i deserve but i will have to fight it or my parents will make me pay for insurance.
narc, i am a bit upset but not at the entire force. i feel that if i did something wrong i should be booked for that offence and not get raped for something else...
thanks everyone for ur support. i just got my ride out of the shop and it was safetie'd and i passed emission's with flying color's...
wooo..

damn sorry to hear about your misfortunes, judging by those pics that hardly looks slammed at all. I guess the police officer just had a bad day, or maybe he wanted to teach you a lesson and to get his point accross probably booked you on everything he could find. In either case i hope everything works out for you, and remember the 7thgen members are always here to help
