WTF is going on with Los Angeles law enforcement.
I feel you on this one -- was dropping my girl off at LAX a couple of Saturdays ago and got pulled over by an LAPD cycle cop. You know the type, 5 ft nothing and full of attitude.... He tells me the speed limit is 25 and that he paced me doing 55!! Is it even possible to do 55 around LAX???? I look at him and go "you paced me doing 55???
" I guess he got from my expression that I knew I could beat it in court if he pressed it, so he let me go.... d1ck....

must be Los Angeles only.
Last night, I was doing a leisurely 88 through Rowland/Industry/Diamond Bar around 10pm and a motor cop pulls up along side me on the 60 eastbound. he waves at me and then sppeds off. Cool!. I couldnt tell if he was CHP, but he must've been on his way home from work.

Its this simple... like it or not...
CHP are employed to write tickets. Their promotions and raises are based on performance like everyone else. Their performance has to do with the number of tickets they write.
So... on the highway, prepare to potentially be flagged for anything deemed illegal: Tint, no license plate, mods, you name it.
It sucks, and I don't agree with it for the record.

Twice so far, LAPD has pulled me over for not having a front license plate. TWICE! They gave me citations each time. Do you know how many times you'll see a car drive by while you're getting a ticket and see another car without a front license plate
I got the Stillen detachable chingadera but I refuse to put it on. I guess vanity comes with a price.

Hey guys I use to be like each and every one of you. Back when I drove my accord coupe, tinted windows, no plates, no real mods besides intake, I got pulled over so the stupiest things. I mean they let me go for things like tint and no plate. I've gotten tickets for speeding when cars in front me were going faster. Cops even barged into my backyard when I was throwing a house party and it was only 11:30pm. Made comments like the ones each and every one of you are making.
Lemme ask...what's the general age of all of us? Well I'm guessing a good majority of us especially in LA are under 25. Next question...at what age should your car insurance start to come down in price? 25 yrs old. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to explain that typically 25 yrs old is when we don't care about showing off anymore. We don't speed as much, we don't mod our engines, basically we follow the rules the road better.
If I saw a 19 yr old driving in a G35 coupe, I'll be damn if there aint any mods not up to specs with DOT regulations. Guys, cops will pull you over...there are more than 43,000...yes 43,000 codes in the California Vechicle Code they can use against you. They will follow you for miles before pulling you over.
I have a whole new level of respect for law enforcement. Seeing what they go through just becoming a cop and knowing what goes through their mind when on patrol. They trust NOBODY!! If pulling you over and citing you for a stupid thing like front tints means the difference between the next officer's ability to see a weapon in a vehicle...shoot I'll gladly pull every single one of you because at the end of the day, I just want to make it home.
You want cops to stop harassing you? Then stop modding your vehicles that don't meet DOT standards. Plain and simple

Nice, except I'm a mid 30's white guy. I pay appx $1400 a year for insurance @20,000 miles per year and full coverage(IMO, very inexpensive). And oh yeah, you ever want to see the highest concentration of front window tints in the world....walk through LAPD police HQ employee parking lot downtown. Just exit through the back of the Korean BBQ place on 1st street in J-town instead of the front.
