Cops... Smh
Hey for some reason the Cops love to pull me over and fuck with me for no reason.. Like today i got pulled over for my truck being too low. The cop was like you cant lower the suspension more the 2in's. And a few weeks ago another cop had pulled me over for my tinted tail lights. Like really the cops are getting annoying.. The funny part is they both are WARNINGs but still
Anybody else ever have a problem with the cops?

Re: Cops... Smh
depending on where you live, there are laws pertaining to how low certain components (mainly head/tail lights) can be. and tinted tail lights are definitely illegal in CA and some other states because they're an obvious safety issue.
learn to live with it, and stop driving like you stole it. you can get away with a lot by driving normally.

Re: Cops... Smh
I do drive normal. I usually am fine, just the area i have to go by and they are always there.. My tail lights are not blacked out so they are still visible. And i see Honda and other little cars that are way lower then mines.. But i mean yeah just depends were you at because its only in that one area.

Re: Cops... Smh
If you're driving through an area known for drugs/gang/criminal activity your mods that aren't legal (even if they are minor) give the officers a legitimate reason to stop you and the ability to develop pc to detain you and search your car. Its probably the reason you've gotten only warnings so far.

Re: Cops... Smh
I was stoped at a red light once and a cop said "nice truck!" As I then rolled up my 10% tints, honked my train horns, and pulled away .... Its a lowered thing I guess.... Cops see you guys as "bad kids" because of your big rims and loud sound systems. And lifted trucks as "good ol boys".. Never meanin no harm lol.

Re: Cops... Smh
I dont get it. You could drop a ranger literaly on the frame and it would sit higher than most cars! And Im sure the headlights would be the same level if not higher. idiots...

Re: Cops... Smh
I get pulled over a lot but that's because of the way I drive. I'm just an impatient person though and hate following dumb people lol.. For you it's gotta be the lowered "gangsta" look.
