Okay, lets all hate on Tintdamax. Doods, whatever. I am still going to stand by my beliefs no matter what you people say. The only thing that will change my opinion are the police, and based on what I have seen, thats never going to happen. You think the police are always going to be there to help you? What if you arent white? That is the scary truth about the world. I hope that the police will give me a reason to change my mind.

just my opinion again....being that I am a black male, grew up in inner city DC, and dealt with racist cops majority of my tennage life.....I underatand you frustration 100% and being harrased or profiled is inexcusible and can easily spur the type of anger you feel!! but you gotta realize thats not ALL cops!! and when you generalize all cops as "bad", you're just as bad as them when they stop "us" every time cause "the car we are driving doesn't fit our descripition" or some BS like that....its just a cycle, you stereotype me, so I stereotype you and no one comes out the better! like I said before, I don't generalize and say all cops are bad cause I never know when I might need the help of a "good cop" whos gonna want to try his best to help me cause he/she knows that I respect the job that he does day in and day out and vice versa how he/she respects me for being a law abiding citizen!
but yes, when you are harrassed countless times it does tend to change your views about people...I just hope you don't see being stopped for red neons and dark tint as harrassment, its just the law plain and simple.....

Not a fun experience at all.

And to think, if your car had just been legal in the first place, none of that would have happened.
Don't complain if you get pulled for breaking the law, any law.
Apparently, you looked like a wanted criminal, as soon as they figured out you were clean, off you go...no harm, no foul.

I've lost respect for cops in my area because I live in an area where there is a sharp curve and there is an accident frequently. Last month a guy hit the railing and was ejected from his car. Police come and they spot him and walk away and check out his car instead. Nobody assisted him at all. If that was me I would sure love to have cops trying to help me instead of walking around.

LOL!!
To cop haters: Cops enforce laws that the ppl we voted for make. To cop lovers: Cops don't really save lives since they mostly react to crime not prevent it(90% of the time). The crime has already been commited. More cops don't equal less crime.
You broke the law with them crazy lights, true, he didn't have to give you a ticket but f' it he did.. There are plenty of ppl who get pulled over for absolutely nothing, me being one of them, and to that I say F' cops but I can't be mad because he caught me doing over 100mph in the middle of the night with noone else around. Yea he could let me go but F' it he didn't.

I was in my friends car at the time. It was a family mini-van with no mods. There were 4 of us in the car and the back windows were tinted. The cop later admitted that he couldnt see the two other guys in the back. Earlier there was a report of a roberry at McDonalds by 4 mexicans. They got away on foot. This cop decided that we fit the description of the robbers. We dont look like f*cking mexicans and he could only see 2 of the 4 of us. But I guess that was enough to stop us and point guns at our heads. You would think that after we were arrested that we would be let go. Not the case. They brought the manager of the McDonalds to ID us. FOr all 4 of us, it was a negative ID. You would think that would be enough to let us go, but no. We were taken to the station and interogated. My friends car was inpounded and stripped down to look for drugs. THey did not put back the dash and stuff that they took off. That plus they charged impound fees. They also did not find drugs. You people are right, i did do something wrong to warrant this. next time I wont look so much like a mexican. This is why i still say f*ck the police.
Cops died in the WTC, what the f*ck kind of argument is that? What is that trying to prove?

Police don't make money from writing tickets. that money goes to the town, county, and state. Police don't make laws. The local politicians you voted for(if you vote) make these laws.
P.S. RedMax, You cant get a ticket for not using you blinkers when no one is around. If you get a ticket, then someone was around

Well I gotta go with the COP on this one, RED and BLUE are reserved colors for COPS and LAW ENFORCEMENT, I mean there is no way you cant expect to get a ticket......
I mean you would have gotten a nice $500 ticket plus possible jail time if you had it stobing, like those people that have the neons with their music.

they're not all bad
haha that's a line from the Sopranos.
The way I look at it is how the cop treated you, not whether or not he gave you a ticket. If the cop was professional, he's doing he's job. If he's sticking you as if with a knife and twisting it, then he's a *****.
We can't all expect things to be like Philly. I saw an article in the paper saying there are many cars here unregistered and uninsured, moving about the city. When they get pulled over, they just say they lost their license and registration. Then the cop let's them on their way and writes a summons, only the name and address are bogus.
Enforcement says they are powerless because of the mayor. His philosophy is that if we took away the ability for these unregistered and uninsured vehicle owners to drive on public roads, they wouldn't be able to get to work. Is that messsed up or what? Some things here are very bizarre. I can't get over that in Philadelphia county they get a computerized reggie sticker to put in the back windshield because too many people are cutting stickers off of other people's license plates to avoid having to renew their own. When did New York go to computerized stickers, in 1985 or something? And PA is "piloting" it in 2000.

BTW...this is Off Topic.

Im going to agree with the person who said its the bad cops that give good cops a bad name....
Ive been racially profiled...A freaking officer gave me a ticket which should've gone to a Chevy Astro Van that was next to me (speeding) which also ran a redlight...meanwhile I was slowing down for the yellow and the dumbass pulls me over giving me a ticket which I should not have recieved....he didnt even let me speak...the minute he walked up to my window he said "your getting a ticket for this and that"
In court the officer suspicously let off all people who were white in one way or another saying he had lost the summons or even saying he didnt remember anything about the incident?!(independent recollection)...it was so obvious what he was doing you would've had to have been a vegatable not to realize it...so he met his Quota and let off who he wanted to let off..riiiight....and what do i have to show for it....4 points and an increased insurance premium??? for doing what??? being a minority
Nonetheless how do some of you expect us to appreciate what police do for the community when, to some extent, we need protection FROM the police??

There's enough flame in here for July 4th bbq.
Neon, strobes and LED lights are illegal on civilian vehicles, there are plenty of reasons to justify these legislations. Most if not all have been stated on this thread if you look pass all the spam.
Whiner will whine and haters will continue to hate.
This thread is slowing the org. Thank you, drive thru.

I'm locking this thread. It's run it's course.
And even though I may be too late to stop the flames and police-bashing, at least people got to vent a little.
