I haven't been pulled over since I've bought the woody wagon... and I've certainly deserved it more than once.

I went by a cop on 75 going at least 88. He watched me go by, then went back to his laser gun.

Most if it is speeding... I got no tint, stock steelies w/wire hubcaps. woo grain, and I'm not all ducked down in the seat.

Oh yeah... I'm white too.

Must be because I am white and everyonce in awhile, or more or less quite often I roll the windows down and crank up the tim mcraw. YEEEHAAAW

Oh and you got searched because you want to look gangsta, I didnt read the thread but from your first post, trying to state what BIG BOI ride you have, and now *****ing about it. WTF do you expect?

If you're offended that he asked to search your car, you probably dont have anything illegal.

And if you dont have anything illegal, just let them look. It will take an extra 10 minutes, and theres no confrontation, no pissed off cops, etc. He is a cop, and you are just some guy. He will win. just let him do the search and find nothing.

the only person's advice i would take...besides mine...is slick rick's. I believe he is an attorney. Other than that, if you constantly get pulled over for nothing, i would hire an attorney and file a grievance against the offending law enforcement agency

heres a tip.

don;t have anything that shouldnt be in the car. cops will FIND a reason as we see in videos every month on youtube.

im the ballsy ******* that says "sure"... because I know its clean and people that ride with me are clean. plus, after they search you on a late sat night a few times they usually stop busting your *** for shits n giggles.

Southern cops are extremely racist. I was riding around with my black friend, who is about as level headed and un-jigga as one can be, and we got pulled over while my friend was driving. The cop was slinging out all kinds of derogatory bullshit before he even got up to the window of the car. "Youu thank you can just drive all over town like you own da damn roads son?", "Youu gots any wepons in da car?"

When the cop got up to the car, he saw me, and my friend threw out the most annunciated and proper "How are you this afternoon Officer? What seems to be the problem?" The cop just kinda looked at us and said that our brake light was out. And off we went.

Close...para-legal/2L who works in a criminal defense attorneys office. I see this crap everyday...nobody should take any advice from any layman and expect it to work (besides someone giving common sense advice), except an attorney. Appreciate the compliment though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

That was legal advice. You just broke the law. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I know...don't tell the ethics board. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif The advice I gave is common sense...err so I hoped it was.
