they should have told you why it was getting towed that would make a difference

 

dang that sucks

CA seems pretty gay to me.

cops around here probably dont even kno wat a sr20det is.

 

thats why i'm the only one who drives my car.my siblings have their own cars. sorry for your loss.

 

I cant wait till I see your car at the auction! If I get it, I will sell it back to you.

 

That sucks ass and it is also one of the reasons that I am not doing an SR swap.

 

yea..i don't know what's gonna happen next. ugh. i hate cali. i moved here like 6 months ago. i used to live in florida and you can pretty do whatever with your car. blahhhh.

 

California needs to hurry up and fall off into the ocean. You have less rights as a citizen in California then any other state in the country.

 

As much as the police suck they had to have a reason on impounding that bitch... They arent full fledged Nazis just half .. Your "bro" was he driving dumb?

 

nah..he was goin speed limit..his ticket didn't even have speeding in it.

 

so what does it say on his ticket ? was your brother doing any thing else against the law ?

 

modified emissions
no insurance

 

dude what a dick bag.

thats why your car got impounded. b.c of the no insurance the cop can not legally let a uninsured driver drive a vehicle on the road!! sort of like if you get pulled over and you get a DUI there not going to give you a ticket and then let you drive off, they impund your car.


IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR SR!!!! it had to do with your ignorant ass letting someone with no insurance drive your car. come to think of it you probably dont have insurance either do you

 

no insurance... duh, maybe that's why the car was taken from you.

I hate this type of thread more than any other. YOU chose to put an illegal motor in your car. YOU chose to otherwise modify your car in a way that is illegal in the state you live in. YOU let your brother drive your car when you damn well knew he had no insurance. so your brother get pulled over because he was driving your illegaly modified car without insurance. Dont call the cop gay because he was doing his job. Yeah sure, it sucks you guys have so many restrictions. But to hate the cop for catching your brother when he shouldnt have been behind the wheel is retarded. And ever think maybe he's got his boss up his ass telling him there are too many illegaly modified cars around and he wants something done with them? He's doing his job... grow up...

 

thats bull it all depends on the cop and how you talk to them. last month i got pulled over for street racing, 65mph on a 35mph street. yeah im stupid and i will never do it again. anyways i have a modified exhaust and sr as well as no insurance, the thing is if the cop isnt an complete asshole and if ur respectfull the way i was he will give u a break. i said yes sir every time i talk to him or responded, well in the end he told asked me if i wanted to keep my license and car, and said we never had the conversation, gave me a ticket for no insurance and modified exhaust. even though u might not like them they r the law and u have to respect that

 

If you are in Cali, that would NEVER happen. Otherwise, you are EXTREMELY lucky. There's no way in hell that a cop in Cali would EVER let an uninsured driver drive off in a car. The cop would lose his job.

 

ok granted there is no insurance BUT why would they pull him over if he's goin speed limit? and driving safe. are they psychic and can tell that he has no insurance?! i mean comon...

 

Its all pretty stupid. The police officer had no right to pull you over without cause. They are supposed to, by law, tell you why if asked. But this is California. So technicaly in court, you could get your car back and have no tickets at all. Because he had no reason to pull you over. Kinda like, If you confess to something after being arested but before you are read your Miranda rights. But when I have done things like this before, The lawyer is usually more hassle than its worth.
Thats the problems with being young in California and being into motorsports. Its not like Steve McQueens days of raceing on Mulholland Drive.

I got pulled over twice last month. Burbank and Arcadia. Both times I didnt have insurance and in Arcadia, I didnt even have registration info. I talked my way out both times. But I am experienced at it and am also a 30 year old professional.

Cant catch me riding dirty!!!LOL

 

Probable cause is a world that is thrown around. He could pretty much say anything as a reason. But to be honest I don't really feel sympathetic for you. You let him drive and knew he had no insurance and you modified you car illegally. We're all young once and make mistakes even though I'm not that old either. I've been there done that thing before. So man up and take whatever consequences for your actions. Learn from it and move on and stop bitchin.

 

Cops in Cali aren't all that bad. I live in SD where the import scene is pretty big. The biggest reason people get pulled over is because of stupid shit. Mainly disobeying traffic laws. If you speed, run red lights, drive bad, street race etc. Sooner or later YOU WILL BITE THE BULLET. I have had an SR20 in my ride for over a 1 year (daily driven). I have never had any problems with cops. I do have a perfect driving record and my car isnt super flashly so it doesn't draw attention.

You can do a motor swap to your car and not worry about getting caught. You just have be smart about it.

There is a thread in board that says everything you can do to minimise being caught.

 

got sr? car go bye bye

 

2007 new law. all cars being driven on the road must have insurance. all insurance companies are to send all of thier insured vehicles to the dmv. dmv transmitts to police station. police scans license plate. there goes all your hard work and money. thats california new 2007 law.

 

thats exactly what i was about to say, Rabit.. They can run your tags, and find out if insurance is valid or not.. They can do that in VA, as well.

 

They may have pulled him over just because of profiling... but... look what happened. If you are gonna fuck around with a car annd do illegal stuff, don't bitch when you get caught.

 

+++10x100

 

^^ dats i s well damn true......dats why i am joining the scca....so this wont happen to me...

 

well i'm sellin that shiet now so yuh..

 

CAli isnt that bad. u just dont know how to get around. respect and easiness of job for the cop is the way to get out of a ticket. i got out of tickets 5/6 times. driving with no insurance is just dumb

 

paying 4 insurance is dumb...lol..yeah ive been driving 4 about 2yrs without insurance...

 

thats dumbest shit ive ever heard. well not really but pretty damn close

 

^^^^
I'm sorry but that is REALLY stupid of you to say.
I hope you are joking...
