Default The man getting down on you?

Anyone else get bothered by cops alot? Anybody get tickets for the slightest of things? Anyone else getting tired of being profiled because of what they drive and or their age? Well I do. Anyone else feel that way? Personally i almost always obey the speed limit and drive as carefully as i can at all times. I paid alot for my f-body and I dont wanna destroy it. I do drive it fast sometimes but never around other vehicles. It seems I always get pulled for the littlest of things and then harassed further because of my young appearence and what i'm driving. Anyone else have this problem?

PS: If you are the man feel free to chime in.

Nothing beats making one drive the speed limit behind you.

But I have been given a couple breaks when I should have gotten a ticket.

The popo don't hassle me at all. If they did, they'd actually be doing their job, and I can't argue with that. I hear a lot about them bugging kids, and if it is true, they're certainly validated in doing so. Think about it. When you were in highschool kids were always showing off their cars, and just being stupid. I don't know too many adults that try to do slaloms in the middle of the road or try to drift. Let's be honest, there was a decent chance that as a kid you were up to no good.

The one time I got pulled over I was sort of drag racing, and doing ~ 20 over when he got me. I was honest and polite and got off with a verbal. Other times I've driven by a cop with radar going 15mph or more over and they don't even pull me over. I am amazed (I'm 19, bright red Camaro).

Also, a large percentage of comments I get about th car are from cops, seems many of them are car guys too. I know I'd like to do some pursuits. As with any group of people there are some ******** who just like to abuse power, but in my experience kids complaining about the cops is 99% whining.
