No license plate is a lousy reason? lol....

But yes... I got hit at 55 in a 45. IMO 10 over is pretty weak, but the guy was nice as hell before he realized what I did for a living.

No cops here have bothered me for petty equipment violations.. I guess they could have tagged me for the headers at WOT and tint, but 10 over is a legit reason... just a bit weak.

yep... no front plate. wasn't speeding. Was paying attention to traffic around me and not tailgating. Was signaling to change lanes etc... Just normal driving, but the cop still decided that he wanted to give me a ticket instead of a warning. No tickets on my record besides that one either... Oh well, now I bought a hideaway plate so it's only 1/2 as bad looking.

Coming up to a junction of 2 highways a Bus on my right tries to pull into my lane with me right beside him. I look at pull into the merging highway on my left right infront of a Charger ! Grill lights of the charger start flashing and I pull over into the break down. Trooper comes over and gets all bent, " you cut right infront of me and I almost rear ended you ! Do you know how fast you were going ?" I replied " did you see the bus cut me off ?" Trooper responds " Better to get hit by a bus then plow into a trooper". I replyed "Not if I can get away with accelerating out of the way and not hit anyone." Trooper returns after a good 20 minutes in his car and throws my license and reg into my lap "Have a nice day I don't have time for this"
I am happy for no citation but I was kind of miffed at the whole situation !

Never been pulled over in my Camaro, but get plenty of tailgating, stares, and waves.

My other cars I have been pulled over a few times and gotten two tickets. One was for speeding. Was doing 115, but radar gun got me slowing down so tagged me at 93 in a 65. Went to court, got it thrown out 6 months later after community service and driving school.
The other ticket was for doing a California roll at 1230am. Was headed home from Perkins and no one is coming so I roll through the stop sign at about 5mph max. As soon as I see the cop I start to slow down and pull over before he pulls out all the way. It was a cop fresh out of the academy (pressed shirt, hat on, etc). He asks how did I know to pull over I said because I did a California roll and saw you turn on your lights. Asked me a few questions, takes my info, comes back a few minutes later, and gives me a ticket. I was so pissed. For all reasons to write a ticket, you write one for a California roll late at night.

Yes, 72 in a 55... the road was a 5 lane highway in Nebraska should have been 70...

And the state trooper didn't know what car I was driving. He asked for the year and I said 2010 (it was 2009 when I was pulled over) and he was like you sure it's 2009. So I had to explain to him it was brand new, etc. This guy must have lived under a rock

Pulled over for no front plate. Leo thought I was a pro hockey player because of my car. Gave me back my license, never checked my insurance or registration. Just wanted to check the camaro out and maybe get an autograph is my guess. I'm rocking a JacFab plate bracket now with my Blackhawks plate.

None yet. Amazingly havent even had one tail gate me yet. Though they do like to pull up next to me. And no problems with the MP's on post either. They all love the car though.

Yes! for passing in a school zone. It was impossible because the car next me had a car in front of him. I had a car in front of me too and we couldn't pass each anyway. Cop saw I was impatient and pulled me over. I went to court and it was dismissed for lack of substantial evidence that I passed. The cop was like 3 blocks down the street so his field of view was blocked and at the angle he was looking there was no way to tell who passed who if anyone passed to begin with. Bastard.
