i have the wings west front for my crx, so i had it in the grill, you can see it easily, i even told the cop its only there til it gets painted monday, he said "aight one minute i'll be back" 25 minutes later he come back with a ticket and measuring tape looks at everything on the car for another ticket, if my girl friend wasn't in the car i was going to loose it on this guy


taking this to court for sure

Durham cops are ******. I've had many run ins with them. They have nothing better to do and no real crimes to investigate so they have to justify their exsitence.

Man your telling me ....Ive had it with DURHAM COPS. They follow me home, to the store, to my friends house EVERYWHERE I GO IM FOLLOWED.
They must think IM A CONVICTED STREET RACING MURDERER ONLY LOOKING FOR BLOOD AND RACING CRIMES.

Dont drive your HONDA through DURHAM. You'll come out with 10 tickets and followed by undercover for 20 miles untill you do SOMETHING WRONG!!! Then they pull you over.

Im willing to bet money that DURHAM COPS are worse than york.
You know, actually, they are!

Even Metro Cops make fun of the "cowboys"

This summer has been pathetic. I lost all respect cause they've been ignorent ******** to me.

In the probe Im a ordinary joe. Del Sol IM ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHH:fustrated

Durham is east of the city, not west.

I don't understand why everyone has such a bad time with durham cops. I've been driving around Whitby with my EG for almost 3 years and not one ticket. As long as I drive legal they have no excuse to pull me over.

That's because there is NO height requirement in the HTA. Fight that and you should win no problem.

Actually there is.

You see in the hta it says tht
the licenceplate has ot be in the farthest point on the vehicle which means as far OUT as possible from the car.
And it has to be CLEARLY VISIBLE.
so the cop could take that as a ticket just by saying he couldnt see it.
