So I'm turning off of Bear Creek in Orinda to go towards the freeway today and I get pulled over by OPD. I was going a decent speed and I see the cops bust a U-turn and come after me. I knew it was over haha!
So I'm pulled over and cop asks me why he thinks I pulled him over, I told him it was 'cause of my flashy loud car. He gets irritated and says it's 'cause I was speeding. He then asks me how fast I think I was going. I just play dumb for a while and say I don't know. He gets more irritated so I told him it's somewhere at or below the speed limit. He kept grilling me so I said I was going safely with the rules of the road and flow of traffic. He tells me that he got me on radar going 47 in a 30. Then asks me again how fast I was going. I told him I must have been going around 30. He asks for license, regristration, and proof of insurance. Doh! Didn't have proof of insurance 'cause I was waiting for it in the mail.
He comes back quite a bit later with a nice ticket. He tells me he's gonna be nice and not give me a speeding ticket. Instead he gives me a fix-it ticket for my tint, no front plate, and no proof of insurance. I told him I bought the car like this and he says to take it back to the dealer because it shouldn't have this dark of tint and has to have the plate.
Doh! I gotta drill my bumper and get my tint taken off! He told me the dealer should do this shit for free since I bought the car like this. You guys know any way around the tint? I don't wanna leave the car anywhere.
Oh well how many speeding tickets is that that I've gotten out of since my last one? Hella.
