Ticket Target?
Has anyone else been tailgated by police or issued a ticket because they thought you were speeding (for example, you're in a pack of cars and you get the ticket while no one else gets one, especially if your cruise control is set on the speed limit)?

Cop car was in front of us, and gets behind us JUST to give us a tint ticket...
Funny thing is, half the cars out here have illegal tints and never get stopped for them. Our other car has had tints for years and we've NEVER had a problem. Felt like he was just going after us because we had a new camaro...talk about lame... |

ive been tailgated a few times, no tickets due to that, also been stoped multiple times in gas stations and anytime my care is parked and im outside of it just to talk to me about the camaro, and most are driving a charger police car or talk about nice cars that they own.

Once. Got a speeding ticket for 88 on the interstate, which I find ridiculous as for one I can see my speed in my windshield via HUD with cruise on 74 and second there was a pack of 15 or so cars with me and a beige Altima flying by me when the trooper clocked "me".
Also got pulled over because a cop hadn't seen my color combination around town and he liked it. That kinda pissed me off, but I was relieved I didn't get a ticket... |

Our Camaro is a little on the loud side and we've had a few black and whites take notice. Haven't been pulled over yet. Just keep an eye on the speedometer and don't give them a reason. I had a yellow vette a few years back and a cop pulled me over for some bogus lane change "violation." He let me off with a warning. I'd rather him say he just wanted to see the car. Probably a Mustang guy

I haven't been tailed or pulled over in the Camaro yet, but I just recently got my headers and exhaust so I expect that to change lol.
Once in my '95 Camaro I was in the middle of a line of about 7-8 cars. We were all going a little over the speed limit, 70 in a 65. At a highway exchange the speed limit dropped to 60 and we all continued on at the same pace. An officer was trailing behind us and passed up 1, 2, 3, 4 cars and squeezed in behind me and pulled me over. Despite my pleas I got a ticket. I accepted it because I was going 10 over but I told him afterwards that it was pretty shitty that he decided to single me out of the middle of the pack of cars. Oh well, such is life with cars like these.
