i seem to feel like the police have it out for me, because i have an import with rhd… this morning at 5:30, i got pulled over for speeding… the cop didnt even have his radar gun, he “estimated” my speed at 80 in a 50 zone… when in fact, i was acctually doing 65, , still speeding, but not enough for him to notice, considering that he was drving past me on the othe side of the road… the moral of the story, it seems that i am a target for the police, does any body else have this problem, cus 3 tickets in a month are getting a little bit sick
I hate when people complain about the police. They do their job, keeping idiots in check, they don’t discrimate against lhd cars, and if they did, I’m sure it’d be because a large majority of lhd driftkids are giving the cars a bad image.
Don’t give them a reason to pull you over, it’s that simple.
Werd. I have way more postive things to say about police than negative.
Werd. You mean RHD right?
ahhh evan u havent even felt the police breathing down ur back yet…when u get 3 stunting tickets in one month then thats the 5-0 out to get u…obviosuly i deserve the tickets but its all good! i get to many god damn photoradar though…i hate them damn picture takers
Yeah, everyone likes to hate on the police, but if someone is breaking into your house or threatening someone who you care about, who are you calling? It ain’t the fucking mob, so don’t even try that one.
As for “estimated” tickets, the police ARE allowed to hand them out but they are much easier to defend against in court. Hire one of those traffic attorneys and you’ll keep that stuff off your record.
correct!
If you get 3 stunting tickets in a month, here’s a thought. How about not stunting anymore? :?
i know if something wrong happens the first you go to is the police but i have been “abused” imore i guess you can say than helped so far. i mean i have been working on my car one time and i had a cop come up to me and ask for my license and i was like ok… is there something that i did wrong? and then he asked me if i was stealing things from this car… i was like uumm no this is my car. then he asked for proof and all this stuff and i am sitting in front of my house. i mean no need.
a few times i have been sitting in a parking lot with friends and i will be the only one asked questions and if i was selling drugs or something like that…
they havent done anything good for me yet thats why i have nothing but negative comments towards them but im sure i will need them something another… but ya thats some of my stories
There are good cops and bad cops…I have had many runnins with both.
I live on a street with both good cops and bad. I have gotten 2 stunting tickets from the bad cop and letters of recomendation from the good. I dont think that anyone here is willing to say that all cops are good or all cops are bad. The fact is that with power there comes corruption.

oops :oops:
yeah that’s what I meant lol
That’s the preventative shit we need more of, actually. If I’m installing a stereo in my car, it doesn’t look much different than someone stealing it. I bet if it was someone stealing your stereo or your rims, you’d be praising the police for asking the guy for proof of ownership.
Same goes for those routine pull-over’s everyone bitches about. 180’s and 240’s get stolen allll the time… I’m glad they pull them over randomly.
Don’t get all defensive… look at it objectively.

I havent noticed more police attention in all of my rhd vehicles and its been a year and a half already
im a resonable person, if im speeding or stunting, and i get a ticket, and i deserve it, i understand. when its 5:30 am, and im not awake eunough to speed, and acctaully doing the limit, and the cop car is going the other direction, then u turns, follows me, and gives me a ticket, theatens me with more tickets for asking questions, tells me my “RHD” is unsafe, and 'illegeal" and my blitz muffler is “oversized” and i need to get my car inspected, i think that is abuse.

ya buts its a little different when i have the car jacked up in my driveway and im in coveralls and i have a few friends over helping… im pretty sure if i was gonna steal something i wouldnt go to that extent ahah and i would be you know taking my time eating and drinking but ya i guess i get your point
Sounds like a dick head cop that doesn’t like imported vehicles to me. You just got unlucky man.
it dont bother me…was i complaining?
I’ve definitely noticed more police presence in Calgary lately. I haven’t been pulled over in years, and I was pulled over twice in the span of a week around a month ago. One for tint on the front windows, the other for no apparent reason, I was doing 10 under the limit. Both times were in Skyline’s, and both times other drivers near me were speeding or making illegal traffic maneuvers. On the second incident, I even recall seeing the cop make illegal maneuvers. We really need manditory driver training, speeding doesn’t cause accidents, bad drivers do.
Haha, you should complain about the officer’s comments. I was with a friend driving back in his Silvia from Edmonton and he got caught speeding by some small town’s police, Ponoka I think. A female officer asked, “When did you import that car?”. My friend says it was 2-3 months ago. She asks, “Don’t you know you were supposed to switch that over to LHD by now?”. They shouldn’t open their god damn mouths if they don’t know what they’re talking about.
^^^HAHAHA. Reminds me of the meet after DTP in Calgary we had and that cop pulled up and started asking Allen where his RHD sticker was. He was willing to swear on his moms lasagna that all rhd cars have to have stickers. But after sitting in his cruiser for like 5 min and using up all his life lines, he just fucked off.
