> Last week I was in Pitcairn around 1am and got pulled over. Officer approached my car [the revived g20, half in primer, lowered on 16’s, stock exhaust]. As he approached he was very “by-the-book”, and so was I- both hands on the wheel dome lights and map lights on. Officer Hallaway [badge 1435] stated, “you know you can’t drive around with your neons on like that.” I replied, “Officer, I don’t have neons”, and he said “yes… you do.” I continued to argue that I do not have neons [just because I’m young and asian in a modified sport compact, doesnt mean my car is rice]. When he said I did in fact have neons and that they were yellow, I understood he mistake my fog lights as neons. When I said he must have mistaken my fog lights as neons, he gave me a dumb look and defended his act of pulling me over, “Well, you rolled through a stop sign.”

> He asked for my license and registration. I told him my license was in my wallet in my back pocket and my registration was in the glove box. I wanted to be polite and let him know exactly what I was doing. I have met a good amount of police officers and they have all told me, their biggest concern is their safety during a traffic stop. I gave him my documents and he went to his car. Another officer pulled up behind him, they talked awhile and about 10min later he returned with my copy of a citation for violating PA UC Statute sec. 3323 sub sec. B. [Duties at stop signs]. $108.00.

> Talk about some bull. I drive through this part of Pitcairn all the time, by Sugar Camp. There is 3 signs, and cops are always there, so I ALWAYS make a conscience effort to completely stop. I know with 100% certainty that I did, in fact, stop. Further more, at the distance he would have needed to be at to view my fog lights as neons, there is no way he could determine if I had come to a complete stop. Being straight behind me, he would have to have some superhuman depth perception. Now If he would have said I completely blew through it, then fine, but he said I rolled through, meaning I at least slowed down.

> Anyone have any tips to help me fight this. I plan on going out and taking pictures of the car from behind at different distances to prove my point. Im just pissed.

I don’t like your neon’s either, ricer faggot.
