Just got 4th ticket in two weeks, and none were for speeding. Last week IL state trooper pulled me over for (loud exhuast and no-seatbelt). Today the same officer just pulled me over agian at the same intersection this time for (loud-exhaust, tinted windows, and no front lisence plate). So stay out of DEKALB, IL or officer Torrez will get your ass.
they profile our cars, i hate it. its soooo stupid think about it, if i was going to comit a crime i would get the most boring car ever like a toyota camry or a small pickup, NOT a loud mustang. stupid stereotyping cops, and YES, MOST cops are stupid
oh i hear you guys, they get so jealous its not even funny. i have to drive properly when im in the stang cuz they try to get me anything. even something stupid like unsafe lane change or fallowing to close, and speeding well thats out of the question, they'll give me a 10 over even if going with the flow of traffic. im in canada so 10 over is the lowest fine

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.
OH NO THEY DIDNT! S197 BETTER STAY OUTA MY 5.0 SECTION!

umm...
I drive 'normally' when cops are around and if they aren't... I mean I don't floor it and do donuts around them, but I don't cut the throttle to quiet my exhaust or drive 10 under when they're behind me...

The cop get jealous? Ahaha. The cop who probably makes at least 50k a year, can afford his own mustang if he wants, gets jealous of your sweet 15 year old rustang so he decides to pull you over?
Please. You get pulled over because you're doing something wrong, not because the cop is jealous of your ride or a dick. And whoever said cops are stupid, I'm sure they've been through more school with better averages than you have.
And the reason he pulls you over for improperly changing lanes or following too closely is because it's illegal, dips***. They also both cause accidents.
I am by know means a cop hater because 95% of cops are in it for the right reasons. Unfortunately their are egotistical cops out their that think they are god whenever they have their badge on.This guy was unreal, I have never seen someone with such a bad case of small-mans syndrone. Tough-guy cops like this guy are the reason cops get a bad name and movies like SUPERTROOPERS made. When i asked him what his name was he told me and then leaned over and said "you don't intimidate me." I felt like he was provoking me, the whole time. Not to mention this guy and his partner ticketed me last week too(seatbelt)
He first pulled me over for tint, and then made a circle of my car and wrote a ticket for no front lisence plate. Then after he gave me my tickets and i fired up my car the prick wrote a warning for loud exhaust. he told me if it doesn't get fixed ill get ticketed next time. (Its not even that loud---bbk shorties, bbk h-pipe, and dumped flows)
Cops like him need to realize that they don't have do demand respect. People will respect you if you are respectfull to them.
My post wasn't directed at you, sorry. It was those two tards of posts numbers three and four.
Edit:
And yeah, there are some power trippin dickheads that like to call themselves public servants. Unfortunately, there's no way to get 'em out of uniform.

Since I live in IL I feel I can comment on this. Lets see tint = illegal in IL and they are ticketing for it a lot latley, no seat belt..also an IL state law, no front plate...also illegal in IL. I am pretty sure you are aware of this so my question is why do you run around with stuff on your car that is clearly illegal? If your going to have your car set up in a manner that is not 100% legal you have grounds to bitch when you get pulled over. I don't run a front plate on my car either but when/if I get pulled over for it I am not going to cry about because I KNOW it's my choice to not have the car 100% legal. Your a younger guy in a loud Mustang, of course the car is going to catch the cops attention. Either keep it legal or pay the price, but don't blame the cops.
