so, i'm driving from san marcos to college station to watch the Texas A&M vs. t.u. football game, and i get pulled over. i wasn't speeding, so i think to myself, "what does this guy want?"



so, he first tells me he pulls me over for no front plate, and i'm not surprised about that one. he then says i have no current inspection, which i dont have because the gay auto shop didn't like my PS --> manual rack conversion. then the cop said my rear license plate frame was illegal because it covered up the word "Texas" on the plate, and that's a fine of $200.



i got two warnings for the plate violations, and a $135 ticket for the expired inspection. all for not speeding. i dont need a front plate anyway, they are dumb. when i drive by, people see the rear of my car, not the front. if i am stopped so someone can see my front plate, they could just as well walk around my car and see my rear plate. there isn't even a good mounting spot on the front.

The same **** happent me, but not as bad. NO front plate, registration stickers and back frame covers new jersey. Let me off with a warning and just get me a 1 ticket for the frame in the back.

Best story ever...



I got pulled over racing an n/a Supra to 135~ mph in my n/a RX-7(I won btw)



No state inspection

No current registration

No front license plate

No city sticker

No insurance

Radar detector(VA is a no radar state)

Speeding in a 55 zone



I got a ticket for the radar detector and paid my $40 fine....that's it.
