one day after i get a ticket for doing 51 in a 35 on a deserted road, i decide to take my celi for a weekly spin, and meet up with some friends. as we are leaving, an officer pulls behind me and flashes me. asks for the usual info and says that he's writing me up for obstruction of view. I ask where and he says the vinyl on my back window and the items hanging from my rear view.... he gives me the ticket and says remove it, and then sits there and waits for me to take the animal down, so im like do you want me to take the vinyl off too?
Im confused, i can understand my stuffed animal from my rear view, and MAYBE the sticker on my back window... but he never said anything about my tint? i better count my blessings then i guess. north carolina north carolina... *sigh* -------------------- |

I checked on it, you guys were right, i talked to a lawyer that i went to college with, and he said the cop was harrassing me and "technically" couldnt force me to take it down, however it might be a good idea to take it off because it attracts alot of that sort of attention, regrettfully i took it off earlier because thats not the first time ive run into that cop and he drops by our hang out spot FREQUENTLY. he is also the same cop that went checking peoples tire tread depth and wouldnt let my friend leave because his tires were going bald (in addition to getting a ticket) i just dont want any more trouble from him.
maybe i can get a skinnier one tweak? maybe 13inch long 3inch wide? ill buy. -------------------- |

The guy is obviously an asshole. No respect for douches like that. The problem is the system promotes people like him to thrive... its absurd. what goes around comes around.... |
