^^LOL 'no hats' due to profiling! Stupid cops are unbelievable.

well its not like the guy got off completely , he still received a ticket and some points. And yes it is true depending on your attitude and the excuse you have the cops can give you a break.

It happened to me twice already , one i beat a red light (more like a yellow) and i told the cop that my gas light was on (which was true) so i had to get to the gas station and that i was so sure i passed a yellow light , he told me to becarefull and only gave me a warning

second time was recently , same thing , but i told him it was because the roads were sliperry and i didn not want to skid , i got off that one too

It also depends on the car you have , they are more likely to give you the ticket if your car looks mod (racing style) , depends on the clothes you have , so many things

It's not fair but it's the true.

Also, it depends a lot on your record , if the cops sees that this is your first time speeding he would most likely give you a break , but it he sees you have many speeding tickets he would try to give you a hard time

so why should i follow the laws if they will be bent for other people?

I'm with you K. It's bull ****, he should get the same damn thing, as if it was one of us doing that.

yea, its true, although, i didn't know people took it this serious, i remember, one of my buddies quickly taking off his hat when a cop passed by in the opposite direction in regular traffic at only 7pm in the summer,i knew why but never knew that some people really took this seriously to a point where they take it off everytime, i still wear mine, my hairs messed up, which is the reason why i wear it so why take it off.hehe.

yea, i hate this damm profiling, i notice, if a cop is giving you a hard time just mention where you work, if its a good job, i just show my bank card and its all good.lol or my ID. twice i didn't even get checked for insurance,registration, just drivers license, if i was in peel ohh man, i'd get tickets left and right.

agree to all, but for some reason, i don't get any tickets even though i have three now on my record, maybe i got my name changed so it dosen't show, but it should its the same license, or i just have crazy luck in york region. When i was in peel region i always herd stories of people getting off the hook without tickets, always though it was amyth untill now, i hope my luck stays like this, if its because i live in a decent area now, im not moving from here.hehe

when i was in peel, it was like i attrated cops.lol and i had a normal car, but then again, almost everyone gets pulled over in Brampton and missisauga and scarb.

seniors also have need for speed

hcsnoopy 25-Feb-2008 09:10 AM

this law still hasn't defined what is street racing i think...it's too vague...so it's basically the OPP's discrection.

I have a doctor's apponitment this week and I'm going to go 100 the whole way. I'm almost 40, so do I fall into the category of a street racer or an old person?

Chigga 25-Feb-2008 04:31 PM

Thats life, we wont change it, who cares.
Life is always gonna be discriminating, all we can do is rant about it.

FPMotorsports 25-Feb-2008 10:30 PM

Krystyn no 1 in there rightful mind will rape you :) LOL.
But if you’re doing 81 in an 80 u will get PULLED over.
It's only cuz Ur "Uncle Bens" Del Slow attracts so much attention: P

But there’s really nothing we can do. I was given 54ish tickets in 1 yr.... why? In all honesty about 49 of those tickets I was doing nothing wrong. Simply this was the equation nice car + windows down + young driver = PULLED OVER.

Lately it's been different... cops aren’t pulling as much honda/acuras over now...as they are being told not to... I know this cuz I was told from various officers / members of the courts/city... but they will still pull u over the odd time for the hell of it... and God help u if u actually are at wrong.... They will do w.e it takes to give u the full penalty unless there lazy or what not.

If you really don’t want get pulled over follow these rules :

Don’t rice out your ride ( No huge spoilers, no under car lights, don’t put a million gauges on your side and a huge monster tach )
Don’t put a huge fart can exhaust mated to a stock exhaust piping setup
Don’t put some flashy stickers on or offensive stickers like " I know I know pull over "
Don’t put really dark tints
Don’t put ur system on full blast while driving around its called " unnecessary noise " and also some other ticket that u cannot hear sirens n ****.
Don’t drive stupid & follow the law!

And maybe u'll get pulled over 6 times a year... with 3 bull**** tickets cuz those 3 cops just want to meet there quotas.

EfOwnzU 26-Feb-2008 01:04 PM

lol ^ funny first my uncle ben del sol is not orange anymore and hasnt been for a year so i dunno how u get off of calling it uncle benz....jealousy is a mofo hun......and who are u to be talking about my cars lol? just wondering really who are u?

Chigga 26-Feb-2008 07:31 PM

it doesnt matter if you have stickers or gauges, thats BS.
you obey the road no problems.

you disobey then you got whats coming to you.

Andrew 26-Feb-2008 10:44 PM

Guys he had a doctors appointment...hes allowed to speed. :dance:

What rock have you been living under over the past several months? The regulations defining what constitutes street racing and stunting have made the rounds of the auto forums many times over. Ignorance really is no excuse given all the publicity to the revised laws.

i agree with this guy....they are blowing this whole street racing thing out of proportion.....and especially with the profiling of younger drivers. But I'm neutral to this senior, i got caught doing 52 over...but the guy dropped it to 15 and i later got it reduced to 10 over....just be respectful, polite and co-operate with the law...i got lucky cause i had a clean record...if i didn't, i would've been ****ed...i learned my lesson and slowed the **** down....theres really no reason to go 50 over other than your life being endangered e.g people trying to run you off the road or another emergency.

im also surprised that the police wanted airplanes to combat street racing...why not just build a track up north...theres lots of land and many places where it could be built away from communities and homeowners. i do not mind paying the city a fee to race on their track....saves me a trip to Cayuga or shannonville, id rather give them some of the gas money i would've spent to race on their track and save myself 200-300km of driving there and back.
