So I got pulled over today...

[cserrano86]

Alright so I was driving down Valley blvd here in the City of Industry at about 6:45 today. Passing 6th St I noticed a sheriff making a right turn at the same time I passed. So sure enough he gets behind me and right away he pulls me over. Meh, I wasn't worried. I have no engine mods, I'm at legal height, non-tinted windows, and I even have the stock exhaust. So he comes up and asks me if I knew I had a headlight out, interesting...
So for a minor fix-it ticket he asks me for My License, registration, insurance and he goes back to his car and has me waiting there for 15+ mins. So he finally comes back with the ticket for me to sign and I tell him "before I sign this, can you please double check that my headlight is actually out?". So he asks me to get out and check for myself. So we go up there and just like I thought, my headlight was just fine...see for yourself...

So we're looking at it and he tells me, "hmm, well it was off when i saw it.". I told him, "yeah I'm having some minor electrical problems and my headlight will flicker from time to time.". So he stands there confused for a bit and tells me, "well just get that fixed, sign here please." So I stood there like, WTF? are you serious?... I signed the damn thing and headed straight for the sheriff station to complain. So they called him in, I waited 10 mins and he comes in all angry. We argued for a bit. And his argument was, "you told me yourself that you had wiring problems, just get that fixed." I said, "wait, first you told me it was my left headlight, then you told me it was my right???". His awesome comeback, "what? I have a bad memory, GET OVER IT!"...
Fucking asshole...

Thats sooo lame. I got pulled over by that SAME sheriff station, more than likely a different cop. He was PISSED when he came to my window. I got let off though only because I think he got a way more important call he had to deal with.

[FRpilot]

why did you say you have electrical problems and it flickers? that means you do have a headlight problem and it was ok for him to tell you to get that fixed.

being nice sometimes doesn't work.

Sounds like he was trying to meet a ticket number. I know of cases where people were pulled over for DUI. Got tested, legally passed, yet still ticketed. If they meet their requirement or pass it, it equals more money for the dept.

it's fucked up.

that's fucked up.

for DUI? that's is seriously fucked up. i dont know about there, but in CA, DUI is a major offense. penalties were recently changed to be more strict. (stay in jail for the night, i think lose license for a year and/or huge $1000+ fine, and those points/dui record will make your premium go sky high)

Not saying its not a major offense. That was just a example. Cops have a quota. If I dont get that... funding could be cut (JUST my idea)

[240love]

did they atleast rip the ticket?

[jmd8590]

thats bs

i got a 75 in a 45 and my ticket was $1,119.00

lame

[imnotmatt1189]

You deserved it. Well, maybe not that big of a fine, but too bad. Next time, don't speed.

wtf?!!! i got 70 in a 40 and my ticket was $422.60! just paid it today too. why was your ticket so expensive?! damn!

[twotoes]

after he said he had a bad memory did they toss the ticket?

[kensreliableb18b]

all you had to do was get the ticket signed off......

why bitch to the station? what a waste of time. ur fault for saying u had a electrical problem.

u got pulled over. get over it.

[cserrano86]

They didn't rip up the ticket. I'm gonna go get it signed off. The reason I told him it had some electrical problems is because it does do that, but never has it gone completely out. I thought after we'd discovered the headlight was working fine I was expecting him to rip up the ticket. But meh, Only reason I went to the sheriff station was to give that fucking asshole cop a hard time. I have time to kill at night, but I cant afford to take time off work to go to the CHP station.

[HyperTek]

taht sucks man, but you shouldnt have said you where having problems.. He will just stick to his story and say you even said it. But i know its tough because you where just being honest that you where aware of it and didnt think it was a problem.

I probably woulda did that too "Im sorry officer, i knew it does it sometimes but i wasnt aware".. and id be pissed too, but id have to suck it up because i didnt take care of it..

Yeah exactly, I'm not really that pissed off about the ticket. I'm just a little upset because he was being a dick about the whole thing even though I was being cool and honest with him. It's only a fix-it ticket after all.
I've been pulled over for tinted windows at night. I even told that officer I had been drinking hours earlier. He was totally cool about it and just told me to get my windows fixed but didnt write a ticket. Meh...I guess it's my fault for being honest.

[vvtisupra]

he shoulda just gave you a ticket for having non DOT approved headlights and we'd be done with it.

[s13tilldeath*]

damn that sucks but dude why the hell would you say you have a electrical problem? but anyways i hate pigs. and some of yall need to stop pretending you dont speed.

Just put the stock one back on and show them it's stock then change it again..


I aint never heard of bs like that, cali is too strict i remember i got pulled over in cali for a cf hood and loud exhaust

He told me too fix it, i said notice my NY plates it's no problem in my state so what now...


He said to fix it and show up in court, i told him to go fuck himself and he made me wait in the car for the Sgt to come and the Sgt was like go about your business young man i'm sorry to have wasted your time..

Yeah, I agree. It looks like you're running 8000k or 10000k bulbs man.

And saying "electrical problem" doesn't help.


Electrical problem = You have electical problems and it is possible that it effected the headlights and they were OFF at one time or another.

It is unfortunate that you got caught.

BUt, you having a faulty and non DOT approved HID kit or bulb that went out, isn't the Officers fault. In all fairness, that is not police abuse, or an outlandish ticket. I don't like cops, but if it's not prejudice or injustice, then I don't think that it is a legitimate complaint.

In addition it's a $25-30 fix it ticket.

FURTHERMORE!! YOUR CORNERS ARE FREAKING WHITE OR BLUE! THAT'S ILLEGAL TOO...
Be satisfied with just a minor infraction, dude.

NEVER admit anything is wrong with your car. You could have avoided this incident.

[1five10]

Did you get it signed off while you were at the station? Tell him you fixed it and be on your way.

Never incriminate yourself man. Telling him you had an electrical problem is enough cause for him to have your car impounded for having an unsafe vehicle.

Every cop I've ever met says the most important part of getting a ticket is the attitude test. If you fail that you're getting a ticket for everything.

From your story and just the way you posted it, I'm gonna guess you failed that test.
Front plate and loud exhaust are legit. If your state requires front plates, have them. Loud exhausts are annoying as shit too. I don't know anything about the aftermarket bov though.
I love when people get pulled over for things they're supposed to have/know then get pissed.

He should have given you a ticket for bad grammar and spelling as well. He did his job. You have no front plate, which is
against the law, and you have an aftermarket exhaust which probably doesn't have a CARB #, if it does, just get it signed off.
Technically, you were speeding.
