I laugh at him and drive away before he can say anymore. So he turns around and starts following me going out of his way to do so(remember he did have his left turn signal on before) but there is a car in between us, I drive slow but the car behind me is even slower so he is weaving into the other lane to look ahead at me. Then we pass another officer who starts follow this guy. Now I am thinking WTF>??? Let me tell you this guy has always been a ***** to myself and anyone else that is young. He has pulled over plenty of my friends and towed their vehicles away for things such as no front plate, expired insurance card(it was expired by 2 days) just plain old stupid crap.
As for the front liscense plates, some states require them and some states don't(mine don't). Deal with it. And the insurance is required to keep your liscense. That is not stupid crap. Again deal with it.

Actually in some (if not most/all) states and countries (e.g. Germany) it is illegal to drive with you fog lights on UNLESS there is a reduction in visibility (rain, FOG, etc.). In the states they will usually ignore it unless, the lights are out of adjustment or have after market bulb in them (or if the cop is looking for a reason to pull you over).

He then drives thru the red light(no lights on or anything) shines his spotlight right in my face and tell me to turn off my "driving lights they are just as bright as high beams and are illegal." I tell him they are factory stock on the truck how could they possibly be illegal>??? He says "turn them off or I will give you a $78 ticket. I laugh at him and drive away before he can say anymore.

So me not wanting to get my truck towed away in case I didn't have something with I pulled into the local Wendy's parking lot(I don't think they can tow you from a private lot) and they keep driving by and I wave and smile at him. Why are some cops on such a power trip>??? Is he jealous of me. Maybe I should tell him I pay for my own ***** so go bother someone else. I mean I have no problems with law enforcement but come on. This guy has told one of my friends he is "gonna get me one day" because I drive on a dealer plate. I am part owner of our family business so I get that privledge. I can't report him or anything because he is one of the head "supervisors." Our Lights aren't really illegal are they>??? Just about every new car has fog lights and all of them drive with them on. WTF. Some may say this guy may be the one saving my butt one day, but to be honest with you I would rather die in a burning house then have this ***** save me. Sorry for the long rant I just am sick and tired of this ball buster. -Mat-

I have to say something here. For one, respect works both ways. The cop deserves no respect if he doesn't give it and vice versa. And two, the cop also should pick and chose their battles also. This cop had a power trip and showed no respect to begin with so why give him any in return. I am 36 and I don't back down to any officer if he is going to be an a$$ and I will be the same way when I am 56.

Cops can go get Fu*cked
Like RTKilla said, they don't like young succusful people with hot fast trucks. I think the cop thinks we are going to steal there wives
.
All the SOBS have done for me is harass me. I have tried the yes officer thing and the last time I did that the stupid fu*ck said "don' t patronize me" Fine I went ****hole eversince.
I had a cousin get mad at the Cops one time and like me is revengeful. This was my idea, He crawled under there prowler with a fresh new roll of chicken wire and tied the loose ends to the U-joints on the drive shaft. I guess he called in a bad accident on the highway and when the cop got in the prowler, took off, it wasn' t long after the drive shaft went west Fast.
Did he get caught? I' am told no but my brother who was just as drunk was there for it all said it was quite a show and it made the local paper.
