Nice... So I'm sitting at a red light bumping some Otep, light turns green, I move a foot and sirens go off, lights and everything. From a SUV cop.
"Whats the hurry? Going a little fast!"
"How can I be going fast at a red light?"
"You passed me like I was nothing cuz I'm a slow SUV"
So we start talking he says my music was too loud and that it sounds like I have a "Performance Car". So he has me pop the hood.
"O, modified intake huh?"
I guess it doesn't matter if it's CARB approved or not, it's still not CA legal...somehow.
"What exhaust are you running? You know thats illegal too."
"None, it's my intake."
"So you took out your cat? No intake sounds like that."
So he somehow gets under and finds the cat and I show him the pre cat while explaining why I don't want a $3000 ticket.
"Pop the hatch...O so this is where the noise comes from...All this and all I heard was rattling?"
"Sorry, I got it for my enjoyment, not the car next to me. Wanna sit inside and hear it."
"No, thats ok...No NOS huh?"
"No, bottles are for babies."
"Theres a clever response...Sit back in the car and roll up your windows...Yeah, thats illegal too, you need to take that tint off. Let me check the engine one more time, stay there."
So he checks it and goes back to his SUV. For like 15 minutes I'm sitting there about to die knowing hes going to come back saying that I get to walk home, and the cars too illegal for me to drive until everything is fixed. So he comes back, tells me to get out, put the hood back down and meet him on the passenger side. So I do. Turns out, he wasn't a dick at all(Or he ran out of room on the ticket). He got me for front tinted windows(sign off), cracked windshield(sign off), and accidentally having last years insurance card(go to court, prove I had it on this date). So much he could have gotten me for that would have cost money and involve traffic school. Insurance, the right card is already in there, tint, a little windex and it's gone, windshield, next week and I'm done with this whole ticket. I got lucky somehow...
