light covers
 
I just got pulled over ten minutes ago for my tail light covers. The cop told me that the tails and fronts are illegal in this state. Which sounds like ******** cuz I see them all the time. he told me that since their is still sunlight out, he couldnt see them, so when i got home, i had my friend turn the light on and hit the brakes, and i saw them fine. I personally think its a load of ****, but W/e i didnt get a ticket.

No, tickets for covering up brake lights is not nazi, it's safety. If a driver can't see your brake lights bad things can happen.

it took a while to explain they came factory like that, lol, i didnt get a ticket but at that stop i was told to get out of the car and other bs. i miss cops.

NJSPEEDER 04-23-2009 04:56 PM

LOL

Why is it that every time someone gets pulled over for something they cry about police and laws? Do you really think that covering up safety lights is a good idea? Does making them less bright somehow make them just as effective as being uncovered?

Covered lights are illegal IN THE UNITED STATES!!!! It's not a Jersey thing, it is a federal highway law thing.

Seems like it would be a lot easier for some people to not get "hassled" if they just had a few simple facts

BonzoHansen 04-23-2009 04:57 PM

So it's not the Nazis, it's the Socialists! LOL

CamaroJoe1987 04-23-2009 05:10 PM

Sarcasm is lost on you, isn't it?
:lol:

CamaroJoe1987 04-23-2009 06:02 PM

i havent hated any of my boss's so far, their r things that we hadnt seen eye to eye on, but i never hated them. the cop was an ******* in the town, my uncle worked with the guy, the cheif wasnt an *******, the cop actually got into a bad motorcycle and ended up being paralysed from the waist down and killing himself

And if she got off you would be crying about how the police look out for their own.

Regardless of if you think your lights are clear or not, it's the law. Is that too complicated? Agree with it, don't agree with it, but don't act like the people enforcing the rules are the problem when you are the one not following them

I have no front plate, been puled over for it twice so far, got one ticket out of it. It's the rules, I think front plates look silly on our cars, but that doesn't change the rules. So I can not logically blame the police for enforcement.

Maybe someday you will get actually harassed by a cop, trust me, you will know real harassment when it happens to you. Getting pulled over for something that is actually a rule ain't even close.

Yeah, exactly! When I was "harrased" they drew their weapons on me. He was doing his job. Just like the person who wrote their bosses mother a ticket. Again, doing his job.
