You know I have been pulled over in Cali for window tint, being too low, modified suspension....Hell one day i didn't even have my insurance card or my registration on me.

I haven't had any tickets for any of those violations either. Truth be told, BAGGED BELAIR can probably vouch for this. If you act like a dick, the cop is going to be a dick. I agree it's bullshit, if you got pulled over 3 times in a month for the same thing but it's your responsibility to pick up a Vehicle Code book learn the laws and see which ones you can squeeze by with.

I mean what is it about your truck or you as a person that is making you stick out. Dude, in Bakersfield there are ALOT of modified cars and trucks that have tons of illegal things done but if you are doing something to stick out from the crowd the cops are going to zero in on you.

I would say, from what you have said I don't think you have a harassment case. I think you should just drive a little slower, turn that stereo down just a little bit, drive just a little bit higher and try to blend in a little bit more. Good Luck bro.

I agree with devon go pick up a code book and learn what is legal and illegal. But your really going to have to go through it and learn.

I thought I beat the system with my dodge ram. My Led was visable from 500+ ft I had red reflective material at the rear of my vehicle and it also had blinker's. But I got a ticket from a cop who knew a little more then I did. In the state of arizona if the cop wants to be a jerk chances are he can nail 100% of the people with taillight modifications including euro tails. The law states that you have to have dps approve the taillight alterations anytime its changed from stock and this was the one thing I did not have. Of course I was a jerk to the cop from the get go so if I changed my approach chances are he would have left me be. But because I told him I did not have time for a lecture and would appreciate a ticket so I could be on my way he gave me one that I could not beat.

You should just accept the ticket, lecture, or what ever else the police wanna do. And if you can prove that your innocent then just do it legally in court. It's pretty shitty though knowing we pay taxes witch pay thier salery, then they're dicks to us... what a world

Dude that could blend in easy in California. It's not like it has wild graphics and sticks out like a sore thumb.

First of all, my tint IS legal. The reason i said no is because i knew what he wanted and knowing that my shit WAS legal, I was going to save mine and his time from the bullshit. the reason I even mentioned my tint is because I felt harassed because that is NOT what the fucker pulled me over for. All you people who want to just let them you, thats ok, but I personally have better things to do rather than have some pussy ass cop check my shit out. Give me the ticket for my led and be on your way. Simple as that.

DEVIN, you mentioned: "I would say, from what you have said I don't think you have a harassment case. I think you should just drive a little slower, turn that stereo down just a little bit, drive just a little bit higher and try to blend in a little bit more. Good Luck bro." Isn't that stereotyping? You think that had something to do with the officer pulling me over also? Actually, I was driving UNDER the speed limit, had my radio at a decent loudness and wasn't even drinking this time.

As far as the law goes, after the ticket last Sunday, I went to the Texas DPS site and read about the vehicle equipment laws for taillights, brake lights, and turnsignals. I just don't know when the officer draws the line for harassment for my window tint inspection

Case in point................that's probably why you got the ticket. I'm as nice as can be.....give me attitude and you get it back in written form.

Dude once your pulled over they can check anything they want with out it being harrassment.... Its not that we want to get fucked by the cops when we get pulled over its the simple fact that most of us are educated on what is legal and what is illegal some of the stuff we choose to do is illegal and when we get tickets for it we don't have to ask why.

Ken I feel for you bro, I have been in your situation with friends. I know exactly what you are going through. I am 22 yrs old and have dealt with BS harassment from cops. But unfortnately, even if you file a complaint it still will not change anything. Ken, dude ask anyone on here I am for defending peoples right but unfortnately, once the officer pulled you over for your taillights, you DID something (whether intentional or not) to make him want to check your windows.

To be honest, it's not the officers job to interpret the law, it's his job to enforce it. Arguing with a cop about getting a ticket gets you no where because that's what court is for.

Now, if you had magnetic trailer lights on the back of your truck and they stopped you for something while you were not breaking the law then you would have a case. Wait, then he is going to get you for altering the safety of the vehicle for having a rollpan. See where I am going with this. Good Luck with your fight! Let us know how it goes.
