they just think of some bs to tell you so they convince you that you did something wrong so they write you up, even though you know that you havent done what they said you havent

My last stop was a warning at LAX for no front license plate + tint. Cop was cool..issued no ticket and gave me a thumps up on the way the car looked

Then again I've had 2 speeding tix and plenty of warnings for changing lanes without signaling...I still feel the auto 3 blinks is not enough for changing lanes. I always use it and still get warnings

I've regularly blown through 120-130 driving on the Hardy Toll road on the way to IAH in Houston, drive aggressively every where I go - the wife was returning from the airport to the house after dropping me off and got pulled over for 20 over and no front plate. I learned to drive in Germany, I've never had a ticket - this was the second time she had driven the car and got her first ticket.

It seems that the nicer the car the more likely you are to be pulled over - I always wave at the cops, get some wierd looks that way.

I always roll down both my front windows before the cop gets out to come talk to me, that usually eliminates any tinting issues there might be. I did get a ticket for doing 78 in a 70 while in a group of about 6 cars. I thought that was pretty retarded, but what are ya gunna do.
