Dave, I guess it's time to remove my SCS logo. Doesn't feel like it's coming back anytime soon.

Gee, Can't imagine that. Other than the dark color of your Mach, and oh yeah..maybe just a few of your posts on the Shakers site, LOL.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Here's an interesting question... IMachU, or others, may recall I was pulled over for running a stop light... I was let off for that but she basically went over my car for various "illegal" mods, tint, no front plate, and of course the infamous "headlight covers" which are actually just stock headlights... So my question is, what if she didn't find anything at all to make out a ticket for? Would I have simply been given a warning, or would I have got the red light ticket? With how anxious she was to check under the hood and pointing out my tint and no plate, I really wonder what the out come would have been...

Re: Ask A Police Officer
I'm confused. Did she give you any ticket at all? Or did she just give you grief for the "mods"?

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Yeah I got a ticket for no front plate, tint on the front windows, and headlight covers instead of getting the ticket for the red light. So it's kind of like being cut a break, though the tint carries a fine apparently. It just made me wonder if me or someone else would have just got a ticket for running a redlight if she couldn't make an alternate ticket out, if you get what I mean...

Re: Ask A Police Officer
It seems like she's had the same training I have - illegal (O/R) modifications to the vehicle. I can't tell you what she would or would not have done, but it looks like she was looking for an illegal intake, O/R headers, etc. In my class we had some gear heads (like me). We know the difference between a Honduh with a fart pipe and a Mustang with mid length tube headers, catted H and cat-back. Some of the officers who are less "mechanically inclined" are bound to be a bit more liberal with the laws. Not that they are wrong, mind you. It's just that I know that if I'm looking under the hood of a Mach, all the stuff is gonna be CARB compliant so I won't waste my time unless I really wanna see his motor!

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Thanks. So basically a traffic stop like this is more or less at the discretion of the officer, on exactly what they do as far as ticket/warning/giving a lesser violation?

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Yes, you are right. Most of the time your attitide plays a big part in what the outcome of the cite is. If I tell you I stopped you for X violation and you start to argue, I'll simply give you a pass to get out of work for a day and argue with the judge. I don't argue in the street. If you say, "Man, I screwed up! Sorry!" I will probably let ya off with a warning since you know you did something silly in front of a police officer.
Bottom line - as long as we have legal standing to stop you, what the outcome of the stop will be can be officer discretion.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
We did wheelies on private property in Ca. once & the officers just watched...really inspected the bikes for ANY infractions when pulled onto the street though! One told me nice show. I don't know if the laws have changed any in the last 30 years! LOL...

Re: Ask A Police Officer
As long as you are not endangering others while doing burnouts, it is private property and you can get away with it (in CA, anyways). The drag strips are on private property, right?
You're OK......but post a pic or a vid of the nice ones!!

Re: Ask A Police Officer
I was ticketed for tint by the CHP, then pulled over by local PD and he said he has no way to check that CHP wrote me one so he wrote me another.
