Actually I just did the math.. OT pay would be $78/hour for a top pay PO

How fast was the guy going that you were tailgating? Or was it more like a "closing too quickly" rather than a "following too closely" lol.

Has anyone caught on 97 and tailgating!
Sorry if you were following that close at 100
you had it coming. that's why the cop busted you for the tint.

i'm all for a good time but here i would have ended up riding home in the back
of a patrol car

The "tailgating" really occurred because of bad timing - I was revving to exit out of the HOV lane and the cop happened to spot me right then. Few seconds before that, the car ahead of me was far enough.

i think your insurance will not go up as much/you won't get as many points if you get the 80 in a 55 + the tint tickets instead of getting the 97 in a 55 and no tint tickets. you made out ok given the circumstances. I've not gone past 90 in my car and that was once right after i got past 1200 miles.

Hey all, first post. I hope I don't get flamed for being an LEO myself, but the individual did cut you a big break for the unlawful speed. Down here in Florida, 30 MPH+ is mandatory court appearance; not sure about your state. Hopefully it's not a criminal traffic violation.

Following too closely - Not sure of what the statute reads for your state but it's not too promising combined with the unlawful speed.

The tint - Definitely get the receipt provided from your tint shop. Hopefully the tint meter was not calibrated and it'll be dismissed upon showing documentation.

I dont need them to have a reason to be looking at me for anything other than gaining an appreciation for a nice looking machine.

I went with 20% on my Mazda and I have to roll the damn windows down to back up because I cant see my side mirrors when its dark...maybe it was the brand of film, but I'm really happy with the 25% on the sides of the Z (back three windows and the eyebrow are 15%, and thats no problem).

Don't worry about being flamed for being LEO...

Quoted from the forum rules:
Quote:
* Please DO NOT make any harassing, derogatory, hateful comment against Law Enforcement Officers. You will NOT be sent any warning for your action but rather a temp ban if you violate this rule.
There are actually quite a few LEOs and future LEOs on this forum. I'm the latter, waiting for a NYPD academy invite right now, already processed, "4Q'ed" and good to go!

A Florida LEO that drives a 370Z... that gets a big from me! Not that I am always obeying the law, but you guys have to put up with a ton of stupid *** people down here.

Luckily you guys don't seem to care about tint here, since I always get between 15-20% and I've been pulled over for other things, but never once a ticket for the tint.

Funny, I went to college in FL. I'd definitely say NY drivers are worse than FL drivers. I also remember when I was down there, a FHP guy pulled over my boss one morning coming to a morning meeting because of his tints.. he was hauling down the highway and was sure he was nailed for his speed but the guy pulled him over strictly because he saw his tints and KNEW they were illegal. They were illegal though, had to be damn near limo tints , lmfao.

Well I wasn't speaking specifically with drivers in mind, I just meant in general. People seem to do a lot of stupid **** in this state. But then again, we get a lot of snow birds so we see those same bad drivers you do.

I have heard of people getting tickets for Tint in Florida but its always been for under 10%.
