so thats where all our tax money goes....

 

Same policy to you man. Always help a serviceman. My father was a Chief Petty Officer 72-76.
I was the last calss to graduate before 9-11.
Stay safe.

Where are you stationed?

 

If you argue with a cop, you will lose, no matter how "tough" you are.

 

oh yea and our DARE car is a new viper

 

I just got back from Bakersfield, and have spent a total of 4 weeks out there and man there didn't seem to be a whole lot of Camaros Firebird or Mustangs. Unless you count the v6 mustangs. But hell you can speed anywhere around there it seemed.

 

You guy's would not believe what we have runnin' around here....short story...lotsa drugs and illegal stuff in good ol' B.C. ....we have run down p/ups, intermmediate cars, luxury cars.[caddys,lincolns,a MERCEDES!,BMW!,vette] you name it...all Impounded from criminals....went by a dirty,sloppy, crappy[not rusted,we're not rusty here] 90-95 ford pickup, with a dirty biker looking cop giving some woman a ticket...oh ya--ALL our undercover cops look like hippie/bikers....it's gettin' pretty crazy. ....on a final note..we have a 02 Trans-am..white/marked hwy patrol in Delta--20 miles from Vancouver. they used to have a black Camaro.

 

You're confused, my friend. The law is the law whether civilians like it or not. I assure you if it was illegal in a certain state for unmarked cars to make traffic stops that no unmarked car would be making any traffic stops.

If you have any reasonable suspicion that a car attempting to pull you over isn't a police officer..do not hesitate to dial 911 (if you don't have a cell phone you're SOL) and ask if there is a unit trying to pull you over. For example..if a beat *** geo metro is trying to pull you over with a single flashing blue light..chances are it's not a police officer.

Anyway, considering your car could have been impounded/etc it sounds to me like that officer cut you a serious break and you should be very grateful.

 

alot of the cops around here that have the nice cars get them from drugs raids and suhc. we had a county sheriff that a 98+ vette for awhile until some kid got a wild hair up his *** and decided to torch it one night.

 

I saw a Plain Jane red contour with blinking corners write a citation yesterday. Had a uniformed city cop in it. Ya just never know.
