This Video is some bull shit! Tow truck taking a bodydropped Mazda!

If you don't want legal troubles or headaches, don't drive an illegal truck. Our trucks are all illegal and considered "non-operating" if they're bodydropped. If you want no hassle in this world, drive a camry, pay your bills, and follow the laws. It's an assumed risk when you have a bodydropped truck... dont bitch when the law comes knocking for you.

--------------------------------------------

All of our trucks are not illegal, maybe in Connecticut but not here in Florida. I don't know the laws in all 50 states but I have read the laws for several states and none that I've looked into make it illegal to have a bagged and body dropped truck, all the laws I've read just differ in how you can use the adjustable suspension and one state required the design be signed off on by a engineer but that was the strictest laws I have seen so far.

If other cars park on the side of that street like this guy, and this guy actually drives the truck occasionally then this is harassment. Anyone saying "if you weren't doing anything wrong you wouldn't get pulled" is bullshit. When I drove my bagged truck I got harassed at least once a week, sometimes it was because of a blown bulb but most of the time it was bs reasons, in the last 6 years since I last drove a bagged truck I've been pulled once for a tag that was expired for a few weeks, that's it. I even drove a truck with no turn signals for over a year without getting pulled because it was stock, on my other truck I'd get pulled within a day or two of a blown bulb.

My truck was full framed and was driven 22,000 miles in 15 months 3 inches off the ground everywhere. It was 100% legal and I was only pulled over twice. Both times for speeding...I was going 75 in a 65 at 1am and was given a warning by a Highway Patrolman and was going 78 in a 55 and was given a ticket for 65 in a 55 by a Austin PD. Ive never been hassled by anyone except the city...and that's because I work on trucks 24/7 in a neighborhood. But even then...I just cooperate and fix what they ask me too and I stay out of trouble. I'll admit there asshole cops out there...but if you play by the rules most the time they'll leave you be. I have heard that Roundrock PD are assholes though. So who knows.

i dont feel bad for the dude... sorry he was being stupid.. ive had my truck fucked up on a tow truck cause i couldnt help it.. he could of, sorry your town sucks but dont fuck your shit up if you can prevent it

-1 for guy with truck for not airing up before damages and preventing the tow after several warnings.

+1 for cop who is doing his job of giving multiple warnings before taking action.

+1 for same truck guy who recorded for the awesome entertainment.

"If you must hold yourself up to your friends as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example."

Hope all goes well with the truck.

If you can adjust your suspension more than 3" from the cab while driving, your truck is illegal... federally. end of story.

Wow, then 18 wheeler are illegal because they get more than 3" of travel and some can control their leveling systems manually

Ive been a mini-trucker for a long fricken time. I have experience with tool ass cops. The offense that got this guy towed was that this truck was parked in the street without moving for over 30 days. He was warned 3 times. It appears that will get you towed in Tx. Its all in the video. That's it. Doesn't matter what the truck was or wasn't equip with. Could've been a stock ride with nothing done to it. The fact that it is an eyesore to the cop, got the cop's attention. Plain and simple. Has nothing to do with it being an air-ride equip truck. Has nothing to do with it being laid out. And has nothing to do with it being custom. The fact that the cop does not like the owner and see's him as a nuisance has everything to do with it being a laid out mini truck. Cops not liking you isn't against the law, and wont get your truck towed. Parking your shitbox in the street for months and not moving it will. In most places this is called an abandoned vehicle. The impound yard would have charged as much or more than $300 a day to house your abandoned vehicle. Simply put, if you value something, don't leave it in the street. If the registration was current, all he had to do was move it. One side of the street to the other once in awhile. If it is movable, there is no excuse for not moving it. I'd like to hear why this guy left it there for so long without moving it. That seems to be the only part of the story that is not clear. I still think he may have been testing the patience of his neighbors and the police. Him filming the whole thing kinda shows that.
Nothing against this dude, or cops. Don't break the law. Even the little ones, and your "baby" will stay off the tow trucks. Its common sense to most people. If you think the local police department might have it in for you, and have multiple tickets from the same officers, you are at the mercy of the law. If they are ticketing you for ticket-able offenses, you are in the wrong. If they are ticketing you for bullshit that is not illegal, you can contact your local congressman's office, and they will direct you to the proper avenues to file complaints against officers. Filing a complaint against an officer is your right as an member of society, and as an American citizen.

so i guess people dont read anymore just look at pics and vids and talk shit cause they know how everything works...if you watched the vid you were at the same place i saw this

@the1996civic

Works fine, i drove it off the truck at the lot and drove it back home. They said it can be towed because its on the ground because it makes it inoperable. It originally got sticker on it for that plus registration, (it was out less than 2 weeks at that time) so I took care of that. I called the police the next day and left a message? and never got a call back. Going to hire a lawyer because this is BS!

@lowdowndually

got there he said the officer had no idea that it could drive, which is also BS because when it was tagged on 3/31/10 by the same officer I drove it up to the police station and showed him it drives fine, and that? time he apologized. This is why Round Rock police has such a bad name.

had nothing to do with being parked for so long ...had to do with his regs. he reneiwed and they still towed it
