Cops suck
-
cops are pretty stupid. they think parking on the sidewalk on 25th by centennial makes them invisible to passing and oncoming traffic. also, at school i saw one driving around the parking lot looking in each car to see if there was anything "suspicious" as i was told when i asked him at lunch the next day when he started talking to my lunch group. to top it off, i got cut off by a cop that didnt signal or care to yield at a yield sign after we both had turned into a development. stupid cops.

I think a lot of your problem goes back to Police Chief Magnus's "plan" for quotas on tickets. . .The cops are just trying to do their job by pulling people over and it might seem unfair at times when you do get stopped, but that is the reason they are there. Most patrol cops aren't assigned to go out and to track down drugs and other offenses, there are other departments that do that. . .
If you think a ticket is unfair, you always have the option of taking it to court and pleading your case to the judge. Judges are human too and understand that people make mistakes, and if you believe strong enough that the ticket is unfair, the judge may see your side. I know of people who have gotten off very lightly on traffic tickets because they went down to the courthouse and told the judge they made a mistake and that they don't feel the punishment is just. . .
You should take all your negativity towards the police and put them into a letter to Chief Magnus. It would do more then complaining about the police in general on a site that more then likely none of them read. . .
Or am I totally off base?

Not hating on you Freitag, but maybe the cop pulled up your previous record, or had seen you previously driving. ...i wouldn't be surprised if that's whyy they did it.

i got pulled over tonight for not using my blinker when getting on to the interstae off of 45th street, i know i should have got pulled over if i didn't cut some one off, but there was no one behind me. and the gayest part of it all it they gave me a fucking $60 ticket for improper lane change. HOW FUCKING GAY!!!!!!!!!! had to vent.i don't feel like reading through 3 pages of whining about cops, but this is more than likely a non-legit ticket. why? i don't believe you have to signal when going onto the interstate, because the lanes merge and you have no choice but to merge. might want to check the "rules of the road" book, but i would go point that out to someone that can do something about it (assuming that i really am right).

^^^ you have to use a blinker anytime you pull into a different lane no matter what, its just another case of car profilingHow is it car profiling when he has a common looking car that does not stand out compared to anyone elses. The cop probably would have pulled over a Tauras for doing the same thing

ok well excuse me I didnt know what his car looks like, thought I read somewhere earlier that he had an exhaust or some other type of mod, but he still had to use a blinker
I like my women like I like my cars, shaved!

no cop that knows what is good for him will pull over a taurus

he does have an exhaust and you are probably right the cop heard it and then noticed he had a reason to pull him over -
it doesn't help that the cop was the car right behind me!

Cops here suck ass, I lost my license for some dumb shit that I own up to. I had to bike for a year as my pennance, no big deal. Until I almost get hit by 2 officers in the same summer when I had the walk sign. One was trying to get thru a green arrow that was long gone.

Time to run my mouth a little, You guys need to advertise to more classic/muscle cars, most people in here are Tuners and that's a turnoff for us. Is this a club or a gang? I've seen you in the walmart parking lot and it kinda looks like a bunch of punk kids(I just glanced). I heard about it and remembered coming out of the lot that you guys meet there. It just kinda gives off a bad vibe to the classic car guys and a lot of other people too. I heard people at work complaining about the punk kids there, I'd have to say clean up the image, make it more car showy, more organized that cars in a circle or a bunch. That kinda stuff is what draws the cops, and cops do profile cars. all the time, they also run your plates for records like mine and will do anything to pull us over. That's any mods on a car, not just imports, believe me, I know. CCr stands for Classic Car. I am not a Ricer fan, but I wanted to give some advice that I feel may help. I'll restrain myself from the dumb ass comments for now. But certain driving styles do get on my nerves. As do big spoilers and exhaust. I'm not rich, neither are mnost of you. Sorry about the long post, just running my mouth. Catch up with the replies later.

So if we park prettier, and dress nicer we'll attract the Classic Car crowd? I speak for myself, but who gives a shit. If you guys have hang ups on coming and taking to us, it's your problem not ours. I don't wanna come off as a jack ass or anything, as I would like it if the two intermingled, but I don't feel asking us to change is fair.
However, I do agree with you that mostly people just drive stupid when they get in big groups, or go crusing.

I said look more organized so the PUBLIC doesn't think your a bunch of jackasses. Which that did come off as. Pretty parking is not a requirement. Not asking to change at all, making a suggestion. Who wants to roll up on a bunch of punks? No one, that's what I said the group looks like when you park that way. Specifying that's what it looks like, not what you are. Not picking a fight here. Seeing how well you take to suggestions. Testing the waters, know what I mean? The car hobby already has a bad name, We should all try to improve it.

I'm usually out there with them, and I don't think I qualify as a "punk kid", neither does Weshole, Stephen Bradley, RE-Enema, etc...... So the problem must be that we don't park all nice and organized w/ 3.38' of space between each car and our front bumpers all lined up w/ the front of the yellow lines...that pisses me off too... Seriously, if you came over and talked to us you'd probably realize that (most) of us respect the roots of motorsports, which is arguably musclecars. It seems that some people get so stuck on the past that they can't embrace the technology of the present. That's where the problems arise. IMHO if we got the same respect for our cars as we give for classic muscle there would be no problem. However, I will be the first to stand in line and DEFEND my car of choice...also, I'm usually the guy that makes wise-ass comments like "my car makes more torque than your truck" when the guys in the Chevy Silverados and Ford F150's feel they must rev/burnout when they go by us....I'm kind of an ass that way.
