Ticket for loud/muffler
Ticket for loud/muffler That's what the ticket says, loud/muffler. I was pulled the other day in front of the Air Force base gate. I over heard the FHP-man talking with another FHP that happened to roll on seen to check things out. He said "I bet it doesn't have cats either". Well I am out $68.50, but he let me off with a written warning for the real reason it went "loud". 
The cop was pretty cool and did not issue me a ticket for excessive speed.
BTW- long tubes, true duals, and sweat thunders with 7.5" Mecham Power Oval tips... yeah it's loud! AND NO CATS...
Any one else get hit for being "loud"?

I got pulled over by the great Broward County Sheriff's one night for making a right turn on red...ticket for that. Loud/Exhaust-Cutout was open (legit reason), tag light being out (still haven't replaced), No cats (blow me occifer), and failure to use a turn signal (f'ing *****). Came out to like $400 total, the red light being the most expensive. Had to pay an extra $50 for paying a day late too. 
Cop was not cool, because it was 2:30 in the morning, he also made me take a breathalizer, walk in a strait line while touching my nose, and say the alphabet backwards which I have memorized for good reason. But I was not drinking in the first place.
Seminole County Sheriff pulls me over about a month ago. Cut-out was off, I rolled through a stop sign on a backroad. Tells me he's gonna give me a ticket for the rolling stop, turn signal being stuck, tag light, illegal exhaust, and going 65 in a 35. Comes back and asks me what I got 2 wreckless driving tickets for and how bad my speeding ticket was. I explain to him and he tells me my night is gonna suck and ask me if I have ever been arrested before. About 5 minutes later he comes back laughing and gives me a warning
And then he told me where all the sheriff's are going to be posted up around my house so I can watch out!

The way the law is written, anything other than stock is illegal. Ive never heard of us domestics getting the tickets, but I read all the time about the imports getting them daily

I'm studying International Business right now and going for a minor in exercise science. I've had to take up spanish with this degree and possibly going to try and learn another language!
The salary can be decent depending on where you work. The insurance they provide is awesome but just dont plan on being rich. You can make some really good money going Federal tho.
I can say this about it, there is nothing I would change. I go to work everyday happy and looking to get into trouble

2am coming home with LT's, ORY, and open borla. some douche in a mazda riding my ***, so i punch it at 40, drops into 1st, spins 1st and second, then i let off. he gets next to me at the next light, he takes off so i take off again. do this about 3 times on that road.
Turn onto 434(the road to my house) hit 110 then back off, get on it under the I4 tunnel to make noise, then calm down on the last 1/2 mile to my house.
he follows me into my neighborhood, so i pull into a coul-de-sac(sp) so he wont know where i live. he stops after it, and a cop car pulls next to him.
first thing i think "**** he called the cops" so i drive around and pul lbehind them.
he gets out of his car and he's a COP. my heart damn near stopped, this is 2 weeks after my friend got arrested for racing a bike from a light, didnt even hit 60mph!
he comes up to my car, tells me he's on a fugitive run and has to go, says "by the way, nice car" then leaves.
uniform officer comes up to me, we talk for a few, tells me to get some slicks and keep it at the dragstrip, have a nice night.
<<<<luckiest ****** ever?

No cats, no mufflers, but I drive like decent citizen VERY often... I'll take ANY ticket in the world with a smile... I just wish some could be more polite. Some act like you fucked them over or something... Why did they become cops if they don't like writing a ticket?
One cop pulled my friend and I over in his new GTP a couple of years back, doing 120 on the freeway. The COOLEST ******* guy in the world. He greeted us, explained why he was issuing the ticket, and told us to be careful 'cause he knows what it was like to have fun with a new car. That guy was courteous and polite.

The guys tell me all the time how my car is so loud. But it's awesome And well, I have not been bothered by Cops ever with it. I do manage to drive by them nicely and not to accelerate so they can hear how nasty it can be.
Broward County Sheriffs deputy pulled me over 4 yrs ago on Sample for 'racing' and well..........I only went from a dig through 3rd when my car was bone stock. I got pulled over and he said first off I was too old to be doing this stuff, and asked why I left the light like I did. I told him messing around at the wrong place and wrong time. He told me he could have written me a $300 ticket and you told me to take that to the dragstrip. I was like I do and the track sucks, sit around to make 2 runs if you are lucky some nights. Needless to say he let me go. 
Sucks you got a ticket, good thing he didn't pop you for the no cats!

honestly i dont know of a state stat. right now that says any aftermarket exhaust is illegal, its really a municipal code, i know that a code up here is that your exhaust cant emit a overly large amount of fumes or smoke....agency policy also dictates alot of what goes on, i rarely hear of people getting pulled up here, im getting out of orientation now, no ones been making a big deal about that....and working as a cop is ok...as in pay its a job...alot of people see higher wages, like down south fl but u gotta look at the cost of living, im gonna be starting out at around 33k

Also, there is no such thing as 3 tickets and then u can get arrested....dont believe what people say...you will learn when you actually become a police officer/deputy and hit the road.
I sure wish there were a three ticket rule.. lol...your tag light is out, your taililght is out and u did not have a seat belt on..step out of the car and turn around lol....
Is this a retarted law.... YES and there are many more to go along with this one.
BTW: what agency hired you? I am an FTO and we just hired 9 more officers. I gotta train the new officers to make them ONE ! lol....best of luck to you.
