But APC guarantees them 100% street legal. I had a friend get pulled over for altezza's and when the cop told him the reason they wasn't legal(no amber signal) he pointed out at a 00' mustang and said that mustang doesn't have amber turning signals, go write him a ticket. He got out of the ticket and no one else around here has gotten a ticket for them.

Yep
Blue lights are illegal in prolly every state in the country.. But I still wonder about these HID's that have a seemingly blueish tint.. Seems like a grey area or a loop is out there..

Re: Re: Yep
You figure most cops will see you from a distance then pull you over. I don't know..... The closest I had to blue lights were my clear Piaa 1400's.. They looked blue if you stood at a certain angle up close but were white at distances..

thing is .. if you walk up to them after they warm up.. they are white.. the blue tint is from a distance because of the Xenon gas

At this point i am irate,
So i agrue with him for a moment
When he handed me the tickets i told him "thanks will need toilet paper to wipe my *** with later"
So after i get the 5 tickets i go into the store and when i come back out the 2 squads are still next to my car talking. So i started reving my car to redline so they couldnt hear each other. I have intake so its prety loud
I then tell her i was warming my car up and to go and try to find more tickets to give because i dont thin its possilbe
We then agrue or a few minutes and i end up just snapping and telling her off.
. you must lack any common sense for revving on those cops. who do you think you are? you aren't the first riceboy with the "i'm right and youre wrong because the taiwanese-manufactured package says so" mentality he encountered. the minute he layed eyes on your car it reminded him of the same little adolescent argumentative ****** he encounted in the past. this cop is going to give the same treatment to the next riceboy he sees buzzing down the road with tinted headlight bulbs and a fartpipe exhaust. your contempt for cops disgust me. i can somewhat relate to you in the frustration because i've been pulled over long ago in highschool for "tinted front windows" (illegal in california) even though i had NO TINT WHATSOEVER ON THE CAR. however i did not react with disregard like you did. all the above quotes shine a bright beacon on your annoying elementary school mentality. grow up. i have no sympathy for you.

Just calling it like I see it. The one time I needed a cop it took 30 minutes for them to arrive. He was probably out writing tickets. Minimum requirement should be set for being a COP. College Educated & over 6 feet tall. Cops deserve what they get. They chose the profession for a reason. But 90% chose it for the wrong reason. They want the badge, gun and power because of the reasons I stated previously.

We would riot against the ****** many times a year. Throw their ***** tear gas back at them. Throw rocks.
Moral of the Story- COPS are Pussies!!!

But the fact is respect them for what they do, not how they do it.

They were hot though.
They do not deserve respect by default. They should have to earn it like anybody else. Badge/Gun generally = napolean complex

I was doing something wrong for him to do that? without lights on? Or me sitting a red light and a cop coms up to the light, turns his blues on and runs the light, then turns them off right after he drives through it? So he is just an officer of the law protecting and serving? NO he is a freaking pig plain and simple, cops who abuse there power, use their lights to get through traffic and redlights are pigs,, How do you respect that uniform?

Then the little pig got hip tossed. Told him when he is on his back looking up he's not winning. Then his partner kicked my *** with his stick. Got it thrown out because they cannot hit above the waist.

guys...I understand that respect for officers of the law is good practice....BUT....when you don't DO ANYTHING wrong, and they treat you like crap, that is just plain fu*ked up. He wasn't speeding, he didn't commit any moving violations...and the wrote him tickets for things like tints....which you have to shine a light through to test (they didn't do that), exhaust which has to be sound tested (they didn't do that either), and the supposed blue lights, which he has a box for that says they are DOT legal. They are not higher wattage than stock. The only real legit thing they got him for was not having a front license plate. The fact is these "officers of the law" harrassed him....and they are going to be in big trouble for it. These officers acted unprofessionally and disrespectfully toward Adam, and I think they are the ones who need to learn how to deal with people better.

Officer Discretion.
Were you there? Do you know that his boxes say DOT approved?
If they are anything other than halogen or Quartz Halogen (HID is it's own thing) 55/65 bulbs I doubt they are legal. In most cities it is illegal to have your fog lights on unless it is bad weather. It boils down to the cop used his "discretion" to ticket him for what ever the first offense was. Then his lack or respect (2 : an act of giving particular attention : CONSIDERATION) to the cop when he got approached. If he would've kept his mouth shut he more than likely would've gotten fix-it tickets. But his insistance to act picked on and frustrated only led him into more problems.

Took pics of my beating on my kidneys and lower back. Judge confiscates them and throws out the case.

If your lucky your lawyer might get your fines reduced, but if you think he/she will be able to get the charges dropped. I think your wasting your time. Judges tend to back the officers when it comes down to discretion, also when you decided to through a tantrum and rev your engine and so forth... You blew any chance you had at the I was an innocent guy just sitting in his car alibi. But I have to say in general you did fit the stigma that they place on modded cars... So thanks for reinforcing that to them. You made life so much easier for the rest of us

I bet he'll get off of almost everything because the officer did NOT follow the correct procedure to check for violations. He didn't CHECK the tint...he didn't CHECK the exhaust...that won't hold up in court worth $hit.

I don't think anyone is denying that the cops behavior was wrong, but you have to look at the point that it was escalted by the behavior of the driver.

They are not higher wattage than stock. The only real legit thing they got him for was not having a front license plate. The fact is these "officers of the law" harrassed him....and they are going to be in big trouble for it. These officers acted unprofessionally and disrespectfully toward Adam, and I think they are the ones who need to learn how to deal with people better.

if you believe that your rights were violated you should immediately file a complaint report. you do NOT have to file it directly to that shift's watchcommander. chances are he/she are in "good terms" with his/her subordinates and will be hesitant to help.
you can do it anonymously over the phone instead of in-person but doing so carries less weight. if a different watchcommander is less than helpful talk to another watchcommander on a different shift.
they will process and review your complaint. get a photocopy from them as your "receipt".
they may never contact you again...but that doesn't mean your effort was in vain. if a pattern arises from frequent reports then this bad cop will be sifted out.
if the police dept is less than helpful then go to a city councilmember or the city atty to complain. city attorneys sometimes hard to reach but councilmembers usually aren't. they have nothing better to do and most of the time are willing to help.
if the above doesn't yeild results then speak to the DA's office. this is your last resort. most counties have a small police watchdog program and will review your case to see if any laws or rights are violated. believe me DDAs/ADAs would love to get their hands on a rogue cop.
**** happens and encountering rogue cops once in a blue moon are unfortunately a part of life. but the way you guys respond and handle these situations tell me that it will be recurring problem for you (which is unfortunate). sounds like it will be a recurring problem for CHI99Limited.

You can't tell me that you know what the local noise ordinace is (if there even is one) in Darian, IL. The war has just started...it is by no means over.
