I’m guessing you haven’t been harassed by any cops lately for stupid reasons like “Noise Pollution” (exhaust), having tint on your car, or just because you drive an import car? That would probably change your opinion a bit.
Dont get me wrong, I’m not saying all cops are shitheads. I have a lot of respect for the police officers who risk their lives everyday, trying to catch murderers, drug dealers, etc. It’s just a lot of the ones that are in traffic patrol or w.e its called seem to have a one-sided mind that anyone who drives an import car, or anyone in general who is young and/or modifies their cars are street racers/drifters/people who run other people off the road/etc.
Having said that, that is why my car is virtually stock outside, and i haven’t got harassed in a while. I used to have a '97 accord with lip kit/slammed/rims (nothing drastic but you could tell it wasn’t stock) and i used to get harassed a lot.
I just think that cops should use more disgression (SP?) before they automatically assume you’re guilty just because of the way your car looks/sounds and your age.
Just my $.02
