the reason cops do that is because they'll say u got careless because of speed which they cant do thats why we have speeding tickets

gotta love all of the philadelphia lawyers on this board. they're the ones making the most noise about being pulled over, yet when they are pulled over there is usually something wrong with the car or their paperwork.
cops pull people over. if a cop doesn't pull someone over, how is he going to know that their paperwork is in order and/or anything else he suspects that the driver may be guilty of? if you don't like getting pulled over by cops, then stay out of your car. because, as already stated, driving is a privilege. btw:
priv·i·lege noun
1. a special advantage or immunity or benefit not enjoyed by all
basically, the MVC determines who is eligible to be licensed, the cops and judges enforce and punish and the MVC can and will suspend the privilege to drive for certain infractions of the law, or for exceeding the maximum number of points allowed, both of which are reported by the courts.
this is the way things work. crying about it will not change it. but, if you follow the proper channels and write the right letters and garner the proper support, then you might be able to change the system. you think you are the only person in known history to be young and driving a hot car? cops love young kids in hot cars because they usually don't know the law and will typically not have their paperwork together and/or will have something wrong with the car like no front plate, windows tinted too dark, etc.
i did not post up previously because i don't have a problem with random checkpoints. hell, i don't care if a cop pulls me over because his ear itched. my paperwork is in order and there is typically nothing wrong with my car. if a bulb is out, then it just went out, because i check my bulbs before i leave and i have replacements in the glovebox. so they can pull me over whenever they want. with or without reason, i don't care.

Jim, nothing is ever wrong with my car, I have no points on my license, in fact I never had points.
You know what's funny? I've never been pulled over in PA, yet when I lived in NJ it seemed to be every few months(and never for anything more than ball busting). I used to get a kick out of it, fine, a young kid driving a flashy red trans am. I used to love seeing their pissed off faces when NOTHING was out of order. After I started getting older it became a pain in the ***. Leave me alone, I'm not doing anything wrong.
Sure, they have a right to pull me over, I have a right to ***** about it and call their superiors and rip them a new *******. If they were straight up honest with me some of the times I was pulled over I'd be cool with it. Just tell me that you're checking to see if I'm insured, just tell me you stereotyped me but don't insult my intelligence by making up some lame brain excuse. Respect goes both ways.

you're right, tony. but they can't tell you that they were stereotyping you, that's a big no-no in this state - they call it profiling. well, it works. if they use the typical profile of a young kid in a hot car and pull those guys over, chances are they'll be writing tickets. i think you and i are exceptions to the rule, as we have our shit together.
you find it an annoyance. i find it laughable. either way, they are just doing their job and i don't begrudge them for it.

Yeah I agree. Just quit your crying and get used to the fact that if you drive a car that looks fast and the cop is in a bad way you're gonna get hassled. As long as u got your stuff together it should'nt be a problem. It''s part of life man, just be happy if you were not doing anything incredibly stupid you won't get a ticket. If you got caught thats you're own stupidity. Hey, I had 27 points on my license...and I earned every single one by driving like a dumbass....and getting caught.
