^^^ Yes they are.
Im 18 (havent gotten a ticket at this age yet :::knocks on wood::
but then again iv only been 18 for less then a month :cry: . Anyways
First time i got pulled over i was 16 coming back from babysitting my 3 nieces and 1 nephew at my brothers house about 2 citys over, roughly 40 minute drive with the route i take.
I was in my 1991 Automatic DB1, it was lowered with 5% tint on the 3 windows, full system, illegal CAI, and it was slammed (i mean SSSLLLAAAMMMEEEEDD) i got pulled over for a clear plastic license plate cover it was 11:20PM when they pulled me over, i know because i was a provisional (could not drive past midnight) so i was keeping a eye on the clock... the cop got my license, registration and insurance and went into his car for 40+ minutes... came back at about 12:03 and gave me a ticket for being out past curfew... i did not fight it since it was just a $10 ticket :roll:
2nd time I will admit the cop was in the right, At the time it was my new 5spd DB1, i was 17... i had one of my friends in his DA infront of me, we were going to carls jr at night... i had one of those stickers/number on the window since i was going through the legal stuff with my car (registration was due, smog was due, no pink slip etc...) and i have tinted windows so the cop could not see the number... so i got pulled over and the cop was nice even though he found out i didnt have insurance... he just gave me $10 fix it ticket... 12 hours later it was insured.
3rd time i admit fault, i was going to KFC was sooo hungry, and i was going down mission blvd which is a straightaway street through 4 city's so its long, speed limit on this section is 40... i was going 56, Officer on a bike gave me a speeding ticket, he asked if i wanted to see the radar gun, i just said "no thanks" since i did look at my speedo when he pulled me over, exactly 56mph
4th time/last time before i got a CAI, Last summer i was going down industrial at about 9PM... This was the first time i drove my car in a week btw... i get pulled over by 2 cops for "suspicous vehicle" the cop claims i was circleing the nearby neighborhood (he claimed 5 times)... BS!, he asked me to pop my hood, i did it with no problem... oh its stock, asked to search the interior and trunk... i agree'd since i dont smoke, drink, carry any weapons etc... but he put me in handcuffs and had me sit on the grill gaurd of the crown victoria while he searched.... nothing, looked under the car for a cat and was dissapointed to find nothing. it was 9pm it could not have been a case of mistaken identiity, how often do you see a all black G2 4dr, lowered, with 1 tinted tail lights, yellow fog lights, purple headlights, amber corner lights, tinted bumper lenses and a red neon interior light?... i have the only black G2 in my area that i have seen... no ticket issued.
