<![CDATA[beating a dead horse...]]>So I'm literally 1 block away from home today...literally...and all of a sudden blue and red lights behind me so I pull over. He comes to the door and tells me he's pulling me over for no front licience plate. In my head I'm thinking 3 things...one "it's fucking -20 outside, 8pm"...and two "I am one block from home"...and three "IF I WAS DRIVING A BRAND NEW BMW, ETC. I WOULD NOT BE GETTING PULLED OVER"...that was the main one...those are the reasons I was pretty pissed...

however...

I am thankful he only took like 3-5 min. and gave me a verbal warning for it, as opposed to the $60 ticket...but c'mon...everybody knows that if I was driving a newer/fancy/non-honda type car that I would not have gotten pulled over...

I am once again thankful that the cop was at least nice about it anyway.

/end rant...i feel better now 🙂

You do get targeted in the cities if you're younger and asian. I hate dealing with that crap in general, so I don't tint or keep my front plates off. You would be suprised how much that cuts down on random pullovers.

If you drive a new german car they assume you're selling weed or something.

Between you, me and tin, I think we have covered the asian people on FS and all said the same thing...

Some states can enforce the laws of other states though...

Other states have to respect the laws of others and if you are abiding by the laws of your residing state, those laws can't restrict your travel through others. Sure you may still get cited, but it would be thrown out in court.

WTF!
First time entering IOWA, w/in 5 minutes on a way to a drag-strip I got pulled over for my tint.. I thought, why would I get pulled over when I'm not from this state. Got a ticket.. 😞

My dads old Sanoma was 17.5%, and his colorado now is 22.5%. Also, how can a car dealership(for example muscatell) sell new cars with aftermarket tint that is beyond state laws.

Never got a ticket for it in the intrepid, cl or speed6. Been pulled over for over stuff of course but they've never mensioned it. Seriously nobody even knows what a speed6 is so hopefully they'll target the German car crowd, if they even do at all around here.
