Please keep the LEO/Cop bashing out of this thread.

Since that is a Forum Rules violation.

I have zero tolerance for it here, and I will not hesitate to take action.

Secondly I don't want to see any future street racing posting as to what led to being pulled over.

Any further continued problems and I'll just close this discussion.

I hope I can have everyones cooperation.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to start the thread to break rules. Just curious about why people get stopped in the Z. Exhaust, Mods, Sports Car profiling, etc.

I paid about $300 for the speeding ticket. Being pulled over for modified exhaust was a fix it ticket so there is no initial fine but there are other costs involved like court fee, inspection, etc

I've been pulled over ZERO times and I've ran no front plate since day one, so about 40 months of ownership. Stock/boring looking/excessively cleaned!

I think a lot on here would enjoy watching the channel on youtube by "officer401" As he puts to rest a lot of the preconceived notions and rumors.

Great person, about as honest and straightforward as you're going to get, and he does discuss the whole quota thing for those that are curious. Extremely funny person as well!:

Ah makes more sense.

In Texas your license plate frame is not supposed to cover the word "TEXAS" on the license plate itself. Just about every dealer in the state uses a frame that is technically illegal. I found it somewhat difficult to even find an aftermarket one that complied.

But I've only ever heard of one person getting a ticket for it, and that idiot was pulled over for reckless driving. The cop added illegal tint (it was pretty much limo tint) and a violation for the Hewlitt Chevrolet dealer license plate frame that was on his car

That's why I throw the dealer frames on the pile when I get home. I run my plates nekkid.

Definitely speeding lol. Quite a few times actually. But because the NSA is watching, I was only pulled over all of those times for 2mph over lol.

Speed limit?

Speed of sound?
Macho Grande? (Airplane II reference)

zguynate · 07-13-2017, 10:01 PM

Florida too. Most dealer plates are not technically legal but it is a reason to get pulled over.
I got mine from Amazon. Simple.
