i officially got cited for "no tailpipes" and i argued with the cop for 20 minutes about it and he says it has to be behind your tires and mine are right in the middle of the tire with turndowns...... i kinda think he had it out for me already considering it was a fat black guy, so i think he would have gotten me for anything he could but he says he will write them again and again if i dont change it so underaxle extensions, here we come

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I've had lots of cops around here ride behind me with no problems. I'm sure they weren't too happy with all the noise I have put out, but I've never been pulled over (long-tubes, off-road X, and Bullets dumped before axle). That's bogus. Thanks for the heads up though!

Law says it has to "exit the passenger section of the vehicle." So, trucks can go to the rear axle and cars can not. The other cops just didn't care.

Judging by the officer's description in the 1st paragraph I'd say that "officer tinpipes" doesn't like that Stars & Bars bandana hanging around your rear view mirrow.

That cop needs to be thought of seriously right now. I'd stay clear away from that pile 'a bacon. ~Joshua

Ok , I gotta ask here: What in the hell does the color of his skin or how much he weighs have to do with anydamnthing? You caught the attention of a cop and he wrote you a ticket. They do that , that's why they're cops..... And arguing with one isn't going to help you , it just pisses 'em off . Considering you've been pulled over 6 times for the same thing and finally got cited ,I'd say that's why the cop doesn't like you too much.

I got a PM from another member about this thread . Leave race out of it.
