Default damn you Los Angeles police department!

sooo i got pulled over today.... and i dont know how your state's laws are but in california:

Euro Plate - illegal
Window Tint (from the dealer!) - illegal
Lamin-X () tinted tails - illegal


i knew i was gonna eat it with the lamin-x tails, but a matter of when. as for the euro plate on, maybe it's because i have no front plate? but what gets me is the stock window tint on the car that i got from the dealer? wtf lol. oh well.


there goes my euro plate, tint and lamin-x tails. i guess i shouldn't have been driving in the carpool lane by myself in the heart of traffic to deserve all this[&:]

that must be a pain when you have borders and the law changes within them? something to adjust and make it a simple law to all??regardless of borders[:-]

I would never go there just for that reason alone. FL is much more relaxed and i am considering heading down that way soon enough. No emissions testing either

Oh, the yellow headlights were ok?

ya they were ok for some reason. oh well, im gonna go back to stock within the next week or 2. prolly keep the exhaust on. i have a new project for 08' and it's back to jdm. [&:]soo.. whoever wants a set of flik justices let me know!

as for the ticket, ****. i certainly hope its not $1,000. the cop estimated it to be around $300... but he said he was unsure. if it's $1,000... i'm gonna prolly kill myself [:@]

Can you fight it there and say you returned it to stock?

Say you bought it that way, and removed all the mods that you were ticketed for?

The judge will probably drop 1 or 2 of the tickets if you show photo proof that it's removed.

Usually carpool violations by themselves are $351 in Ca, not sure about that one though.

Damn Mark, that sucks...that carpool ticket is gonna be $$$, I've gotten one before years ago when it was $271, it's much higher now. As for the other charges, they're just fix-it tickets. For the front window tint, in the state of Ca. it's illegal to tint the front windows and windshield no matter what shade, except for the top 6" of the windshield(visor tint). You can just remove the tints and put a California front license platethen take your carto a local police dept and havethe fix-itsigned off
