State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

In the Last 2 Months I have been getting slammed by the state troopers.. Is anyone else having these issues??

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

Nope.

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

Me neither.

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

do you speed on the highways? that could be part of it. if you follow all the rules, and your tail lights aren't tinted or painted or altezzas, you probably won't be harassed. That being said, those cops have to pay for the gas in those cars somehow. How better to pay than to use your money!

Nope but I sure did get a nice in home visit from a cop yesterday about my exhaust.

Nope

Even with no front plate, Troopers never give my 1g a second glance. But I do usually drive the same speed as traffic.

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

I'll ask some of the troopers that come into my shop if they have it out for you... Some sort of personal vendetta.

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

How nice of you! :score010:

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

Ive seen some state troopers out and about!

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

MN cops/troopers are EVERYWHERE, I always see a bunch when I'm up to visit.

^They want that BBQSAUS!!

Maybe the OP is running BBQ SAUCE in his ride?!!

I see a ton of them, but i usually drive the speed limit. Not worth $100+ to get to where im going 5-10 seconds faster. I love it when people blaze past me, then sure enough i see them at the same light i was heading towards, Good job wasting the gas it took to accelerate past me.

Cops in general around here do not like me. I got pulled over on the highway for my window tint... Yeah, not even joking. It was the ONLY day I decided to use my air-conditoning.

Then 2 weeks later, in town, the SAME Highway Patrol get's me. He tried to get me for "exhabition driving". He gave me a warning because he had NO proof I did anything. He ALSO gave me another warning for the window tint; yet I was driving with my windows DOWN because of the tint. I even told him to his face, the only reason my windows were down was because of the tint.

Then there are the usual "accelerating too fastly" situations. Had it happen to me recently by a known cop around here, that likes to just pull people over for any reason at all. He thought I was trying to driving like an idiot yet I saw his car parked, with it's lights on, while he was outside of his car with a reflective vest on. Duhhh! Idiot.

In other words yes, I have. lol

Sounds like you need to take your tint off. Seems to be your problem, and maybe that sometimes you do drive like an idiot? Idk, just the way it seems. In all 6 of my dsm's, I've been pulled over twice. Once in my laser, cause I didn't flip my lights all the way on, and just had running lights on (wasn't even dark yet, was more of a check to see that I wasn't drunk). The other time was a joke pretty much, as the cop thought I was hauling ass, when in actuality, I was cruising, and my bov went off right by him. He u-turned, pulled me over, and nothing came of it.

In all honesty if cops are looking for you, you have done something to garner their attention.

..double post....

I put about 800 miles on the galant this year. I drove by at least a dozen cops with no issues. Granted I am not driving like an asshat, I have a front plate, and I have no window tint, but like most I drive with traffic and try to blend in.

I say if you are breaking the law while driving, do not be surprised when you get pulled over.

The only times i've been pulled over down here (living in burnsville for 5 years i think) is when I had my 95 eclipse, I didnt know it was illegal to pass in the HOV lane, trooper pulled me over,gave me a ticket. The same night i get pulled over by a burnsville pd for to dark of tint.

Now days, I stay out of Applevalley, And parts of burnsville. I usually drive mostly back roads to work in hastings, always see troopers set up down by rosemount. I get followed alot in the 05 eclipse. With my 91 talon,since its in the body work phase,they probably just laugh at the bondo work and look for better looking cars to mess with.

So no troubles as of lately, My ex on the other hand... shes been pulled over a few times this year,one trooper down in applevalley, for not wearing a seat belt.

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

so if you do something illegal you might get pulled over?
hmmm........

Re: State Trooper Troubles Anyone??
 

I never get pulled over in my maxima or talon. Talon Is really loud and the maxima is kinda loud,and had no front plate. But if you are doing something illegal dont be surprised.
