Just got a ticket, a GOOD one
I got tagged. I must give props to the cop, those were some Batman like moves.
I was coming back from seeing Borat(funniest movie this year) and if any of you know the area its south of Chico, CA on 99. I had it in 6th, there were no cars on the road, I was doing about 75. Me and my cousin were laughing are asses off about the movie when I see an oncoming car duck out on the shoulder. I look down at my speed, 85! I hit the breaks, but it was too late. Then I said "Speedin' on the freeway, thats a ticket". Right as I pass him he kicks on his lights and takes me down. 85 in a 65, $200 and eligable for traffic school.
Its easy to get a ticket in this car guys. Set cruise control if you must. Had I been going just a few miles an hour faster, reckless driving.
A side note: All you people in CA. Its kind of important to treat officers with kid gloves, especially at night. Most if not all nighttime CHP units are two officers because of the recent killings of officers, they are on edge. So I pulled out my keys, set them on the dash and told him what I was reaching for before I went for it. I could tell he really appreciated it. I'm sure he could tell I knew there was no way of getting out of the ticket. He chatted with me about borat for a little bit, atleast he didn't give me a speach.
P.S. I've been driving 80+ mph every day for the last 5 years, so if you ask me, its worth it. I think 5 years is a pretty good run.

but yea, our cars are police magnets. i was just keeping up with traffic and i was pulled over for speeding. maybe because i didn't see a single g through the whole state, or just a couple in my entire trip, but it makes me wonder if i was pulled over because the car stood out. i was pulled over again on that same day in minnesota when a truck had just passed me on the left. WTF. i guess u gotta put up with this for driving the g, huh?

in the past three months i've gotten a tint ticket, no front plate, stopped over for some god knows what reason (cause i don't know- he gave me a lecture about driving around at night,beats me what he was trying to babble out, probably needed someone to talk to or maybe though i was drinking), another time for parking in front of a friend's house for more than 10 minute while sitting in the car.

speeding in CA is usually cited as just that... speeding. it's only when the speeding puts lives imminently at risk (i.e. 75 in a residential) that speeding alone will get you a reckless vio.

fix it tickets are lame though...
So a few weeks ago, I'm taking my daughter to school, my 7 year old. Waiting in the drop off line in the car, cruising my whole 2MPH for 10 minutes of stop and go. A cruiser drives around and checks the situation out...they do this all the time to make sure parents are not letting kids cross the street on their own, etc.
So - my daughter gets out of the car and goes through the gate and bingo - there's the cops with his lights on, for me.
So he pulls me over and asks me if there is a lawfull reason for having my drivers and passengers windows tinted. Ummm...no, duh...so he starts writing the ticket...a BS one at that right in front of my daughter at school nonetheless.
Then as he writes it, his partner comes over and tells me his buddy just got a G and wanted to know about my drop, and tires, and what else because his friend wants to do some work to his car too. I just looked at him and told him if he wanted to find out about mods for these cars, he should refer to countless INTERNET threads and vendors, and the next time he wants to know about stuff like this, don't give me a ticket - just ask!
I've been pulled over by cops at least 1-2 times a months - not for BS tickets, but for info because they have a G and like what I've done. they don't use their lights or anything, they just pull next to me and say they just got an 03, or 06 or whatever...and want to see the car...so we pull over into a parking lot and chat for a 1/2 hour....those are cool guys though.
I hate the A$$'s that think they'll stumble across something by chance...just a waste of our tax dollars!!

lucky me
Well, I guess I'm the lucky one. I'm in SoCal and I've definately pulled up behind cops on the freeway doing 90+. Never gotten a ticket or pulled over (yet (knock on wood)) since being here. I did get an impeeding (sp) traffic ticket because I merged after the solid white line started. But cops usually just leave me alone.
+1 I agree completely! I hate it when people badmouth cops for doing their job. I know I will get a ticket someday, and I still speed. If you speed, live with the consequences.
