[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1251414, member: 561023"] Satan ~ do you ever listen to your stereo at levels that were a cop sitting next to you in traffic you'd most likely get a noise pollution ticket? I would suggest that there's not many of us here that have been driving for any length of time that haven't committed a violation or three knowingly. [I]OR....the other answer[/I]...because it's his ride and he wanted to? Depending on your location and how much you cause the local constabulary to take specific notice of you can make worlds of difference in what you can and can't get away with. I can't speak with any certainty about the cops in Oregon...never been pulled over there....but the cops where I live generally don't give folks too much static about 'mildly illegal' happenings. I've been pulled over a few times now for various infractions.....too dark tint, red bulbs on my license plate instead of white bulbs...fog lights being brighter than my headlights.....silly sh[I]i[/I]t like that. Not one ticket for it yet (*knock on wood*) They'll normally use it as a legitimate reason to pull you over if you're not doing anything else (speeding, drunk driving, etc). When they don't find anything out of place excepting someone being a little more into their car than the average citizen (and assuming that everything else is as it should be....current insurance, registration, driver's license, no smell of alchohol or drugs, blah blah blah) you'll more often than not simply be turned loose. Good manners when faced with a cop looking for a reason to write a citation or three can make all the difference in the world. It never ceases to amaze me how often politeness can diffuse even the most volatile of confrontations. [/QUOTE]
