first time pulled over in my evo.....

ok i was heading home from helping a friend put on his downpipe on his sti.

im about 3 miles from home doint the speed limit. (rardar detector was going off so i made sure i was doing the speed limit. cop is coming from the other directions. he flips a ***** and pulls me over. ( i was doing 55 in 5th gear )i was like WTF. he comes up an asks me if i knew why he pulled me over. i said i have no idea.

he said cause you havea a modified exhasut and was loud as hell. i didnt know it was modified i thought you had no muffler. . then he said you know its illegal in the state of NY to modify your exhaust period. i was like ok. he said i know you alot of tuner cars like to modify there exhaust. asked for my license and registration. and asked have you ever been arrested i was like no. He said you sure about that? im like yeah im sure.

anyways he comes back to my car after about 5 mins of running my license and registration and says well im in the holiday mood. i wont give you a ticket cause i know you wont change your exhaust anyway. he said marry christmas and ill see you next time.

this cop must of been extremly bored.he was about my age and pretty nice but still didnt think he had any reason to pull me over. makes me think that he seen my age and relized i wasnt some punk and then decided to let me go with no ticket. in a way i feel profiled cause i know my exhaust was no louder then some peoples i mean i was doing 55 in 5th gear normal cruise so it wasnt that loud. i just feel his justification for pulling me over was wrong.

oh and merry xmas everyone.

I wouldnt complain, you got lucky if you ask me.

As for profiling, it happens. Plain and simple. There is nothing you can do about it.

The cops in upstate NY...way north of the NYC line can be real jerks


I got pulled over too once in my Integra back then...

I told the cop I'm from NYC and the cops there dont bother me.
He said ok.....just keep it quiet, and let me go
