Cops like pulling over my car for some reason

[ThePresence]

My car

Driving home with a girl after a fine dinner (no alcohol consumed). I'm doing 45 in a 50 zone. I pass a cop, see him pull out behind me. Pulls me over. Asks for my license, registration and insurance card. I give him everything and ask if I was speeding. No answer. He looks at my registration and points out that it expired at the end of June. I had gotten the letter from the DMV but completely forgot about it. Yes, I am guilty of driving with an expired reg. He goes to his car and writes me a ticket for an expired registration and that's it. He had no way of knowing my reg. was expired before he pulled me over. I have no clue why he pulled me over.

Same thing happened to me 2 months ago. Guy pulled me over for no reason and gave me a bogus ticket for failure to merge which was untrue. I think they like pulling my car over.

I see that but the cop can't tell for sure.

He didn't say why he originally pulled you over? I'm pretty sure they need a reason to pull you over, and so his ticket for expired registration is invalid. But you'll get that dismissed when you renew your registration, so it doesn't really matter.

You drive the exact same car I plan on buying...

racial discrimination?

I still have to pay the $54 fine, but I have no problem paying it, I was guilty of that. I just don't know why he pulled me over.

You can't get the fine waived by showing your current registration?

I'm not black, he's not black, he couldn't know my ethnicity from a fleeting glance at night.

It might be because of that blurred out kit you have on the license plate..

Cause you're car is teh ugly



Maybe it's the way you guys react in your car when you see the cops that prompts them to suspect you? Straighten up all of a sudden, look forward, look a sneaky sneaky.

Don't know yet, but you don't want it. It's a 2000 with 135,000 miles. I put on about 200 miles every day.

Good lord, is 200 miles your daily work commute?

Why would he be able to? His registration WAS expired at the time the ticket was issued. Whether or not he gets it renewed now makes no difference. At the time he was pulled over he was not in full compliance with the law, hence the ticket.

Yep. I live in central Jersey and commute to Philly. Then I travel daily between all our buildings in that area.

Right, that's what I thought.

In most states, expired insurance, registration and inspection can all be dismissed for a $10 court fee when you show them your present valid documents.

Ah, but we live in New Jersey. You don't get away with NOTHING in New Jersey, unless you "know a guy that knows a guy".

Right, that's what I thought.

You can get it thrown out in court if you say there was no probable cause for pulling you over
