Ya.... yet another cocky calgary cop

[88CRX]

First off dont anyone say some cops are cool.... cause i realize that. Just that i never seem to get the nice ones.

Just finished getting pulled over for having a modified exhaust. Its is not loud at all. And the silencer is installed. The "oulet" with the silencer is not much louder then stock.

Anyways, so first there is a car tailgating me from midnapore mall, over the new over pass and all the way up to a&b sound by the lrt. Now i dont know its a cop but i'm not fucking speeding up. He continues to tailgate, yes tailgate. My passenger even joked i should slame on my brakes (i really didnt). So then the blue and reds finally come on. Great. He comes up fuckin this fuckin that.... you exhaust is modified.... blah blah blah.... i act dumb and say i got it put on for free from a buddy cause mine was rusted through (sorta, kinda true) anyways... he goes on to explain he hands out $115 tickets from modified exhausts all the time (as he laughs it off) and then explains how if they go to court he never looses would you like a hero cookie.

So he let me off with a warning.

btw - my car is stock on the outside and i have been harassed about my headlights ( with "blue" bulbs and again with stock ones) my window tint (which is only on my passenger side and rear hatch) hmmm what else

cps

shitty deal man. I've been lucky with the ones that I've dealt with. It could have been alot worse for me.

[BigBearWest]

I got one of those, 115 bucks. it was a 4 in the afternoon right in front of wisewood

[ICEBERG]

At least you didn't get a ticket.

[redx2nv]

Is this "chiming in" to you?

Rice is crap these days, just try and make your car look as stock as possible. Get rid of the front tint, the bulbs, and put as close to looking oem exhaust on.

I was in the same boat you were, big exhaust, slammed, blue lights, tint, etc and i alwyas got harrased. Since then i removed all of that, but on a sensible aftermarket exhaust(quiet and tip is 2.5"), put stock bulbs back in. I have zero problems now with the law

[illeagle]

hmm i'don't think the cops will like me.. 2.5" cat-less exhaust, leading to a straight through dynomax "muffler", dumping out the side, under the right rear door (4 door sedan)

[Weapon_R]

What are you complaining about? You didn't even get a ticket!

[JordanLotoski]

tailgating you....dood, should slammed on the breaks........took him to court for following to close...hahahahaha....tailgating is agaist the law......regarless if hes a cop or not....that would have been awesome....

[Hakkola]

But what would happen if you slammed on the brakes for no reason???? Could always say an animal was on the road or a low flying bird, but I'm not one to lie... Just curious what would really happen if one was to actually slam on the breaks...

[JordanLotoski]

man, doesnt matter..i was told by a cop, that even if a person slams on there breaks for no reason, you should be far enogh back to stop without hitting the car....fuk next time that happens to me iam gonna.....

I've often wondered about this. I've had cops follow soooo close to me and have gotten really pissed off. I realize they might be checking your plates or other stuff on the car, but a couple occasions they have stayed on my ass for long periods. I was thinking what would happen if I slammed on the brakes and they smashed into me... whether I'd get in trouble because its a cop and not some average joe.

i got pulled over just yesterday for goin 83 in a 60 zone. also my registration was expired (my mom hid the new ones so ALL vehicles in my house were drivin with expiered registration until last nite when me and my dad changed em all) and the cop waved it off and said "ill give you a ticket for only 15 over, and check that insurance out with your dad tonight. no need getting your car towed over something small"

and ryan i have NO idea why they keep pullin you over, your exhaust is small !

yea that would be pretty cool ummm... if u dint drive a merc

[JordanLotoski]

well if i was driving my civic i would have..maybe not in the benz

[MM99lude]

I've been reading this thread and kinda lost. I didn't know/realize that modifying your exhaust was a crime. I am about to install a Tanabe Hyper Medallion cat-back on my lude... can i get pulled over and ticketed for that?

[JordanLotoski]

good exhaust.....i had a tanabe on my sir....never had a problem

[MM99lude]

Ya its a great exhaust! But I mean can a cop just be driving behind, see your exhaust, pull you over and write you a ticket for a modified exhaust... what law are you breaking exactly?

[googe]

there are 2 issues with modified exhaust
its illegal if
A) its too loud (i think 95 db?)
B) if the tip is wider than your stock tip
