im so mad..
I was driving when a cop pulled up behind me. I slowed down like a mofo, and the cop just followed me a long time. Suddenly he turned on his damn flashers and pulled me over. FOR WHAT?! FOR HAVING A STUPID COVER on MY LICENSE PLATE! GR!!!

here, you can probably see it here. Its the little tinted thing on top of my license plate.

here
why do the cops go for all the people who dont do anything!? GRR

Maybe the cop can't read.

See, the way it works is ya get tickets for breaking the law. And having an unreadable plate is.. against the law. It happens.. take em off and it'll get rid of part of the whole rice effect too.

LOL

Actually, those covers are probably illegal.
My gf got stopped 2 weeks ago. The cop said she was speeding and she said if she was it was b/c she passed another car on the interstate and slowed down immediately.
The cop said OK and then gave her a ticket b/c her rear window was obstructed with stickers.
She has a clear sticker with the name of her college and another one with a line-drawing of a horse.
The lines from the defogger are more of an obstruction.
If she can get a ticket for that.....

<< You were a victim of riceial profiling. >>



The sad thing is that he could probably argue that and do alright.

If you're gonna cover the license plate,you might as well jsut take the damn thing off. at least the car looks better w/ no front plate.

Been there done that, couldn't find any loopholes. went to court, said i bought it at kmart, i'm a student and see them all the time, and it was an overcast day @ 8 am. The judge didn't even know what the coup was talking about, she suspended the ticket. Good luck

My cousin was riding with a friend, he got pulled over, handcuffed and was going to jail because he looked like a suspicious person(his mom pulled up behind the cop is the only reason he didn't go to jail). If you think what happened to you is bad go to a little town called bonneau. Those cops there smoke some good stuff.

Yea, they're legal, but they are so gay looking they should be outlawed.

my car actually barely has an rice. the spoiler is stock for the newer 3000gts and GTO's. The worst part was that my dad bought them at walmart and stuck them on by himself. You can see the license plate fine, its just a little cover for it.

also, I used to have a bra over the front end of the car, until i got a fix-it ticket cause I didn't have the damn license under the bra.

my car is a friggin cop magnet!!! :disgust:
