Probably not. You never know man.

I've had officers not care about my s2000 (which was pretty much illegal in every way it could be, except it wouldn't serve alcohol to minors), and was ticketed more than once for "suspension modification" when I had LCA's and Koni yellows on my mostly stock Civic. If word of the "red key" gets around, there will be certain officers that will harass people for it.

Red Key means one thing for officers and the state of VA. It's the color Green.

Word gets around. There's been so much media hype about the "red key" that people will have heard of it. And the media has portrayed it as a "race key".


Bingo. Same thing when they ticketed for "cut springs" whenever you lower a car....

I've had officers harrass me just because my car is blue. (or so it feels, at least)

Might it have been because the lights on your car were blue

That happened twice. I sorta pissed off the 2nd officer since I already knew the cost of the ticket and I told him to hurry up since it's just a $93 fine. He told me he was going to write the ticket this time so I HAD to go to court......he didn't. And I made sure to turn my landing strips and Angel Eyes on and asked him to look at those and tell me if they were illegal, too. He looked....came back and told me to take the damn things off. Then he laid rubber as he left.

Gotta love it.

I would probably pull your car over too, but mostly just to check it out.

Funny you say that. The first officer was a young female cop. After taking my license and registration she sorta hesitated before going back to her cruiser and said:

"Is that the GReddy exhaust?"

I was like Whoa! What do we have here?? After all was said and done, yes she did issue the ticket, her and the other officer that was with her were outside (well after midnight, mind you) with their flashlights shining down into my hood. She wanted to see what was under the hood! That was so cool!!

That's pretty cool. You should have offered her a ride in exchange for not writing the ticket. Of course that could have lead to other problems

It's always nice to be reminded that for the most part, the police are just normal people. Some are cool as hell.
