I feel as though in a normal situation in a different car i would have just been told to turn my lights on or i wouldnt have been pulled over at all but since i was in my Z i feel as though i was targeted and cited. Very petty.

Does anyone else receive this petty behavior from law enforcement or am i just unlucky?
Pennsylvania requires your headlights to be on between sunset and sunrise, as well as in other conditions like inclement weather and in construction zones.

You were in violation of the law so I do not think it was "petty". A bit of self-education will help you better adhere to the law and avoid future "profiling".

Here is a link to the Pennsylvania Driver's Manual to get you started.

I am here to help.

My youngest son came home one night when he was 17 claiming he had been profiled by the CHP and ticketed for speeding.

I asked why he thought he was profiled and he said that he was young, driving a Z (one of my 280ZX's) and that he had long hair.

I asked him if he was going faster than everyone else and he said yes.

I said "there you go, you were profiled...CHP profiles speeders".

To play devil's advocate here... why did you even switch your lights off auto mode? I don't think I've touched mine since I bought the car new.

Well, IMHO mine tends to attract more LE attention than my Malibu did, but then again, it might be because I was driving a little faster than I should. :icon14:





But in a sea of black, white and silver cars.... blue tends to stand out... :tup:

It's not the car. It's that cops in the northeast.

I've actually gotten positive reactions from LE. I run into the same officers every morning at the deli near my office, and we always talk cars.

The only attention mine has drawn so far is not long after I bought it, my wife and I were inside a strip center store when a local cop pulled up, walked inside the store and loudly asked whose red Z was parked outside.

He just wanted to talk to me about the car and ask whether he should consider buying one. We shot the breeze for about 20 minutes. Crime was running rampant for a short while.
