ok thursday nov. 29, finished my install about 11 am. went to get a haircut. decided to put it thru its paces, playing various songs for fine tuning. some rap, jazz, metal, r&b. etc. cd player 35 of 62 using mp3 player, gains set properly.

who's round the corner? local pd. he starts following me. im thinkin hes gunna try to get me for speeding or tags, nope. he follows me for 2 miles and finally pulls me over for my "loud" stereo. he didnt like it when i told him it wasnt "loud" yet.

give him my license, insurance, reg is still taped to the window. he runs me through NCIC for warrants. comes back restricted license, L.E. confidentiality.

now he feels like a douche for pulling over a cop because he thought he got some kid cruisin around.

apparently i could be heard from >50ft. (27007 V.C.)

HAHA PWN3D

how is that being "pwn3d"?

dont see how trying to give a ticket to a cop for doing something against the law is being "pwn3d"...unless you like the idea of cops giving other cops breaks...

I think the point was that he wasnt doing anything wrong, just that the leo was being an ******* is all...

Ive gotten out of dumb shit before as well, for similar reasons (like running me through the police department where I work for warrants) when I was pulled over for one of my three tag lights being out lol..

he wasnt bragging, or using the "cop" out on the other cop, just saying he was being a traffic hound and got embarrassed..

other law enforcement personnel know better than most what is bullshit and what isnt.. if you write another officer a ticket for something stupid, you're just wasting paper, if he had been drunk and the guy let him go because of the le confidentiality, thatd be different

im guessing about 70 watts gain is 75% deck runs 4 volts.

theyre off axis so i can crank em a little more. if they were on axis i would have to cut the high end alot. right now eq on deck is flat except for -3 @ 5k and -6 @ 12.5

imaging is dead center but they are big enough to take over as my mid too. theyre passive from the amp high pass @1.5k and the 8's are low pass @1.5k

you can see how much more area versus a 1" dome.

also the domes are not hooked up. i just dont have anything to cover the holes

thats a vehicle code...he broke it. when i broke the same law i had to pay $150 once, and $400 bucks another time...

Why was your liscense restricted? The 'restrictions' include driving to get a haircut?

 

[mdillon 10+ year member]

certain professions allow your DMV info to be restricted for security reasons. any body's info is accessible throught the dmv. it makes sure people that may want to harm you or your family cannot access this info.

I wasnt saying what has happened to you in the past was fair, it was quite possibly a bullshit ticket in your case as well.. just saying dont hold it agaist this guy because he didnt get screwed over

IMO this vehicle code is bull.... stock stereos can be heard from over 50 feet away. it may not sound good but its possible.

99% of the time that particular vehicle code is used as an excuse to pull someone over. most of the time they are looking for more. the leo followed me for more than 2 miles before pulling me over. he couldnt find anything else to get me on.

the city i used to live in i know most of the officers, they, like the agency i work for WILL NOT cite this code.

they say its a safety thing. not to listen to a stereo loud so you can hear things around you(i.e. emergency vehicles).
