yeah, man i get profiled hard down here... driving either the bmw or the mercedes they will pull me over for anything, and not to sound like a broken record, i'm sure it's partially becuase i'm asian... and thats not really that bad of a thing.seriously, there are so many ghetto asians down here, and ill be the first to admit that they cause like SO many of the problems.
anyway, i used to not run a front license plate on my spyder just becuase i never found the bracket that i needed, but then again i was never pulled over for it.
front license plate doesn't really detract from the cars looks much, and if it will prevent you from getting targeted then you should put it up...
it's kind of like tinted windows down here, they fuckin pull me over for that shit all the time but I KNOW its bc they want to check to 1) see if i was drinking 2) see if i had any drugs in the car...
even though i hate getting pulled over, if you are generally nice to the cop (in most instances) they will be as friendly as can be expected... when you knowingly break the law you have to be ready to accept the consequences (aka speeding, dui, no front license plate, tinted windows)....
it sucks but generally speaking the laws arent enacted to just hate on younger guys with faster looking cars, they are specific reasons which to some extent have some validity.
ok maybe too much drinking for me tongiht lol sorry drunk post
Wait.......
Are you saying you are being "profiled" in Minnetonka? For being asian and driving a BMW?? Are you serious?????

Well, in response to this thread, I guess if having too dark of tint or no front license plate is against the law, it probably just applies to everyone else, and not you. So if you don't have a front license plate or too dark of tint, there's no reason you shouldn't be appalled that an officer might pull you over and inform you of your equipment violation. Because it doesn't apply to you, because you are special.

i dont think it matters where you are... a young kid driving a car that the average american cannot afford is going to draw attention, equipment violations or not

Honestly, it doesn't matter what kind of car you drive in St.Paul, as long as you look asian, you are pretty much fucked.

I just can't buy that you are "profiled hard down here" because you're asian, or driving a BMW. Made me "lol" though.

I got pulled over yesterday by detroit lakes for doing 70 in a 55....cop asked me if i ever had gotten ticketed for my tint, i told him no becuase it was legal in ND and told him i lived in fargo and my car was registered in fargo.. He still said it was illegal because i was in MN. So i asked him if i should take it off everytime i come over mn and he never said another word......stupid cop.

so torbs should i bitch every time i get pulled over with my car?? they will whip a fuckin U turn in the middle of any road because i'm yellow, loud exhaust, hid's, big wing, and no front license plate... do i post every fuckin time i get pulled over?? no because it's what happens when you have shit a cop is out lookin for... you knew you would get flamed on this and you can't handle it when it happens...
