Dear all,
I am very frustrated as one of the police officer pulled me over today and wrote me a 75 dollar tick for having clear coners with regular OEM DOT approved light bulbs.
I was driving on the road in normal speed, then this stupid cop tries to cut into my link but I didn't let him in because there were no space. All of a sudden, I saw him turn on his lights and pulled me over.
At first, I was talk to him in a very well mannered form and ask him what was going on, but he responded in an ******* way.
I have been using these clear coner lenses for couple of years and no one told me that they were illegal. I ask him could this be a warning and I will replace the clear coner with the OEM yellow on but he saids no.
I think he is just trying to fill up his quatoers for this month or mad at me for no leading him in. I mean, I don't have to, do I ? He is not the king of the road.
I refuse to sign the ticket, and he turns into an ultra *****y ******* and told me if I don't sign it, my car will end up at the loacl police station and it will cost me 400 bucks to pick it up.
Then I got more mad, first of all, those bulbs that I could from Al's were DOT approved that means they shoul be legal on the road in the United States.
I told him he should put a down a statement that saids I had didn't know that they were illegal. He did, then I signed and throw his stupid pen back to him and drove off.
Everytime an officer pulls me over for speeding, I admits my fault and I pay the tickets, but this time I felt that I didn't do nothing wrong.
Why should I do ?
Very frustrated
Pete regards

There is simply, IMO, no more frustating situation than a "law abiding" citizen being given a ticket for no GOOD reason! You are not a bad person, but you sure feel like one when any police officer is done with you!

Are you endangering anyone, NO. So why is there a ticket? I feel fix it tickets should be abolished for any first time offender. For anyone who says the cop is just doing his job is not looking deep enough, some bunch of knuckle-heads all got together and wrote and passed these laws, that doesn't make it "right".

Just think about this, every time a traffic cop goes on duty he will write "x" amount of tickets, that "x" is someones ruined day! I am not trying to say every law is wrong here, just that some tickets such as non-hazardous are overkill, there should be no fine attached.

Rant finished! Just my $.02!

BTW cheyun, if you show up in court with the OEM lighting back in the car, there is a good chance the judge will throw out the fine. And next time let him in if a cop is signaling!
