HAHAHA what? You think this is a perfect world?
No, in fact i am aware that by far we are not living in a perfect world...but that doesn't mean we don't have to hope or try to make it "more perfect" by either attitude, character, justice, education, learning or...

I guess you guys have it rough. I literally have police on every corner in my neighborhood - most protecting critical infrastructure. I live in Arlington, VA - not too far from lots of govt offices, the Pentagon, the FDIC, etc... Heck, there's an apartment complex I walk by on the way to the grocery store where there are guard stations and guys with the mirrors-on-a-stick to look under your car before you drive -into your own garage-. Can't imagine who lives there. Needless to say, the cops are there, they -can- be a problem, but for the most part if you appear to be a contributing member of society, they make themselves invisible. Maybe since our security folk have real business to attend to they leave the majority of the drivers alone??

You didn't have a plate on your car. Be glad they didn't tow the car.

Why in the world would you even drive the car with no rear tag? Just amazes me how it's all the cops fault because they weren't nice.

Would you be nice if your job meant going up to tinted cars with just a sidearm at your hip? Of course not.

If it means one day of not showing off w/ your girlfriend while you go to the hardware store and affix the plate, so be it.

They can impound the car for having tint. Pssssst.. Secret: It's a violation of the vehicle code to drive without a registration plate or with dark tint.

Don't have such a "I can do what I want" attitude, and you'll run into few problems.

Uhh, and alot of cops easily make $70k+ a year, don't think that they're all Barney Fife look-alikes. If they want a 5 series, they'll buy one just like you....I mean...your dad did...

Well thats kinda sucks but you should at least have a paperplate or someshit like me I've been driving for a year already without any kind of front plate and just the new car id on the window.. but how did the cop even run your car to find out your dad was the owner and you didn't even have a plate on is that some kinda magic trick..?

How dark are your tints, if they cannot see in, how do you know they saw that you were young and then pulled you over?

Next time just push the gas pedal to the floor, the cop won't be able to catch you with his Ford Crown Victoria.
