We have a great deal many turnpikes in the great state of Oklahoma, speed limit is 75, not so bad, I got stopped one morning on my way home for 79 in a 75, yes I was speeding, but I was being passed by other cars! I get a 150.00 ticket. I know it had to be for my car.
you could have argued that man its 4 mph. all you have to do is say your new gears in your car threw your mph off by 3 mph and you didnt know it so to you it looked like the right speed

That's no excuse, really... it should have been corrected at the time of modification... they'll still ticket you because either way about it you were above the speed limit.
I'm surprised that the officers around here don't target me. I FLEW past one once and he did nothing... this was like 70-80 in a 50... he was in the right lane about to go onto a highway onramp in traffic, and my lane was empty... he had no lightbar and I had just noticed the state trooper logo on the side of the car as I went by and got the worst feeling... no more criminal speeding for me, ever. Yesterday, I was cruising with Fastlane034 here on the forums, we were doing maybe 40-41 in a 35, traffic was catching up with us. Four lanes in our direction, with space behind us, a trooper pulls up to the intersection in front of us on the right side... I downshifted to shed a couple MPH, so I ended maybe 39 in the 35 as I went past him... he didn't even seem interested, we were the biggest target in the world... 18 yr old driving a black 04 stang, followed by an even younger guy in a black 06 stang... I'm really surprised he didn't turn to follow us just to look for some stupid reason to pull at least one of us over. Thankfully, the officers around here don't seem too interested in me, that or I've been lucky. I've seen a lot of ricers pulled over, though

Not a good excuse anyway... I mean think about the argument. You are going to tell the cop that you got new gears in and its off by 3 MPH? Well hell, you just told him that you knew it was off and you even told him how much it was off! So if you know that its off by 3 MPH and it says you are going 50, then you know you are going 53 by your own admission!
Not saying that you should get a ticket for osmething that small... but using that argument is just plain bad, LoL

Also consider that when u do stupid sheet there are regular citizens that will call the cops & complain about you. Its difficult for the cops to do any thing because any body could be driving your car & have to prove it was you driving. So they wil eventually get to know you & your car. If they get complaints about your car they can hassel you by keeping a close eye on you & pulling you over for the smallest infraction.
You wil always get the "eye" when you drive a fast looking car.

The cops follow because there's plenty of morons out there who make it easy for them to fill their quotas. It's because of those morons that the rest of us have to get harassed from time to time.
There's a way to combat it, though.
Keep a pad of paper and a pencil with you at all times. Every time a cop gets on yer ass and just ghosts you around, copy down his plate number and the unit number. Then, pull out her cell phone, and report him/her. Unless they got some reason to be following you (ie yer wanted for something) they aren't supposed to be doing that and can get in trouble for it. It's considered harassment and provocation.
Once when I was renting a vert, some dickhead cop ghosted my bumper for nearly 30 miles, waiting for me to break speed so he could nail me. And we're not talking just cruising back a few lengths, he was right on my flip'n bumper, pushing. Fed up, I pulled out my cell phone and started looking back to read the numbers on his car, making sure he saw me doing it. Within seconds he backed off, then took off. Too late, though. I had the plate.
Cops should be enforcing the law, not harrassing people.
If you ask me, they should be ghosting the damn ricers. I see far more plastic-geared rice-humpers streaking down the highways around here than anything else! Gonna get someone killed...

Happends to me constantly, they've nitpicked the shi#$ out of my car, gave me a ticket for no front plate, for loud exhaust, and one for no seatbelt. I've been pulled over 10 times in the last month. And am followed almost everytime i drive my car. It's flippin annoying, lol they're gunna cause me to crash cuz i keep my eyes glued to my speedo when they follow me. I know that i should have a front plate, my exhaust is annoying but theres is louder around here, and i should wear my seatbelt, but damn there is better things to be done then to harrase me....doesnt it just bug the **** out of you when your pulled over on the side of the road for something stupid and u see like ten others breaking the law in a worse way
