Wrong place, wrong time, same car (you), same cop (him), same violations (you)...easy target (you)

Chuck...He can't know that that is my route to work mainly bc the first time I got pulled over it was my 2nd day on the job...by the time I had gotten pulled over 2 times it was within a 3 week time period. The first time was around 230 in the afternoon...2nd was 620am. BTW...I've been pulled over @ 8am on my way to school (this was 2-3 years ago) for a loud exhaust when I was just driving normal via a fargo cop...got that one written off the same day by a different cop bc he said it wasn't loud at all...but he made me 20+ minutes late for class which pissed me off obvously...

So he wasn't profiling you then...it was coincidence that you had the same illegal mods as the last time he stopped you. Again, easy target.

According to the cop that pulled me over "modifying your car in any way, shape, or form" is illegal...that's the shit he pulled on me. I shoulda said his bumper guard on his car must be illegal then...oh well heh

If he said that, which I'm taking your word as he did, then he was pulling a power trip on ya and is severely misinformed about the law in regards to vehicle modification....even though he was right about what he wrote you up for.

and Chuck...I still heart you ...BTW...next time you get pulled over in the WRX just tell them that it's your son's car and you are borrowing it...i'm sure you'll get away with it then

I don't get pulled over unless I am out fucking around....if I get a ticket, 10 times out of 10 I've deserved it.

At least we can agree that most cops (not all, as proven by the officer that stopped and took the time to B.S. with us) are seemingly power hungry and profile...My dad has had an aftermarket exhaust on his El Camino for over 7 years and him nor I have ever been pulled over while in it...weird ain't it?

And I've been driving one of the loudest cars in Fargo (exhaust) for 6 years and never been pulled over for it....weird, I drive an import, lowered, loud as fuck exhaust, no front plate at all, stereo bumping, highly modified exterior.

And I still stand by my statement that its not profiling if they catch you and your friends for the same illegal things on your cars...its your own damn fault that you either a) put them on there or b) bought a car that was modded that way.

You were breaking the law. You got caught. Too bad. You don't have a leg to stand on here as you admit that you were breaking the law but yet you bitch about getting caught. Tough shit.

you realizie if it was at 2 am in the morning it would be hard to tell if your windows are tinted to begin with, but right when the sun is coming up........thats the most obvious time in my opinion

Nope, got a warning on that...got a front plate ticket that time.

You should have learned the first time you got pulled over at 6:20 in the morning.

Part of the reason I don't get many tickets in Fargo (my opinion) is I don't race/rev on the streets, I always use my signals, I hardly ever drive it (once this summer total). Speeding(interstate), Noise (exhaust and stereo) & plates are the three things I'd likely get pulled over for if anything on my car...ok and cats, but they won't know that til pulled over anyway....

I don't think it is the age issue either, I get carded REGULARLY for lotto tickets...like every other week. So I apparently don't look much older than many of you guys. If you get caught multiple times on the same street on the way to work, well my thought is that you and the cop probably take the same routes to work regularly and he KNOWS that you didn't repair/replace the items you were ticketed for so he views you as disregarding his authority so he keeps hammering the point home.

BTW, body kits are not illegal. nor are wings, aftermarket suspension (unless vehicle is too low/high), etc.....50 state legal means it can be legally driven in every state and is NOT required in states that don't have laws regarding the addition of such parts/accessories.

also, no where in town can you get tint that will make your window 50%.

Every single window is darker than 100% clear so as soon as you put 50% tint on it, it will turn out somewhere between 40-49% and you'll get a ticket because its illegal.

This is 100% correct. Therefore it is illegal to tint your front windows EVERY time.

Have you ever gotten tickets for your insanely loud exhaust or anything else related to your WRX?...I'm willing to bet not...and if you have it isn't to the extent that us young people have to deal with. Don't go on and say "well I drive nicely all the time"...everytime the last 2 years I've gotten pulled over, I wasn't speeding, driving stupidly, or anything of the sort. If you were say 10 years younger, you'd be harassed just as we are...but due to your continuously sagging balls you can get away with it...simple as that.

I'm not blamming you or anything btw...I'm just stating that because you are older, you don't get as much shit as us younger people do. Also, when you were our age, cops were more leniant that what they are now...so don't say "well i was once that age and know what it's like"...When you were 20 is far different from being 20 now...

And for the record...a cop can say nearly anything and make it a legit ticket...we all know that. It isn't rocket science. Modding your car in any way, shape, or form is illegal technically, but it isn't enforced to the T because people would protest against law enforcement and the gov't. Your body kit is illegal, lowering your car is illegal, your "non-stock" exhaust unless it comes with a CARB and 50 state legal sticker is illegal, upgrading your turbo unless it is CARB or 50 state legal is illegal...and this is just YOUR CAR I'm listing things from...So Chuck...as far as I'm concerned, your car has far more legal issues than my car does if you wanna play the whole "your car must be illegal" game which you seemingly want to do when you said "If you set your car up illegally, you are basically inviting the tickets/harassment." The statement is true to a point...but you also have to consider ones age too, along with other factors I'm sure you are smart enough to figure out.

Summary: My car, according to the law, has less illegal things than Chuck's...yet I get harassed for it more...weird how that works, isn't it?

Did u have no front plates at all or have it in the window.....does anyone know if its legal to have ur lp in the front window???

Answers on the first page of this thread...

also, no where in town can you get tint that will make your window 50%.

Every single window is darker than 100% clear so as soon as you put 50% tint on it, it will turn out somewhere between 40-49% and you'll get a ticket because its illegal.

Its not profiling if they catch a group of people breaking the same laws. That would be like saying "Geez, the cops caught me and 5 of my buddies driving drunk leaving the bar over the course of of a summer...it must be because they don't like our mad-tite-vtack."

The question I have for you Torbs is this:

Did you get a ticket for actual non-law conforming violations? based on what you said here, I believe you received a legit ticket:

If you set your car up illegally, you are basically inviting the tickets/harassment. Is everyone going to get a ticket that has no front plate? No, probably not, but I do know domestic car owners that have gotten the same tickets you are complaining about.

To sum it up again, it is not profiling if they happen to catch you doing something illegal.

EDIT: one more thing...I can't believe you actually tried to compare a group of car people to people driving drunk...the two are not related at all. That's like saying tinted windows are just as dangerous as driving plastered...
