cops here in Houston don't fuck withe the white man - they can't "profile" a bimmer, HAHA !!!!

JayKay335i · 04-17-2011, 11:10 PM

Cops in most places wont fuck with 20-60yr old white men.

I'd say 20 if its in a nice car and you are not acting like a fucktard. I used to get pulled over almost weekly in my last car. Not a single cop has bat an eye at me since I got the 335.

1cleanm6 · 04-18-2011, 12:29 AM

i always get wierd stares and bitter looks from cops. I hate it because usually 95% of time im doing speed limit or maybe 5mph over. I leave the fun for freeway onramps. I know very well not to push it with this car in the city, ill get tickets left and right.

This is why i drive my jeep mostly always now

, ah i can run over someones front lawn with a cop watching and hell give me props lol.

Stupid LA

I get pulled over constantly just because of my car and the fact that I'm on a college campus with a Torch Red Vette. I never go more than five over though, so I always get warnings. They are just being assholes to me. Like last month I got pulled over for 37 in a 35... I was like WTF?

LateBraking · 04-18-2011, 04:27 PM

What the fuck? 306% on the Toyota Camry Solara? No wonder I got so many tickets before the BMW.

Time to get an XJ sedan fellas.

BTM · 04-18-2011, 04:41 PM

Vaguely derived statistics don't say anything. Are these adjusted for the number of each of the cars registered? Are they going off what the cop wrote on the ticket (which they often screw up, at least in my case)? Why is H2 and H3 combined, yet CLK63AMG not combined with other CLKs? Same with Suburban and Tahoe. BTM hates everything. Does specifying Solara coupes exclude convertibles, when depending on your definition of coupe, can include convertibles?

HA! GA cops crack me up. I was stationed at Robins 03-05 and got pulled over (in a Firebird) on the off-ramp doing 65 in a 35. I told him I didn't realize the off-ramp had a speed limit nor was I aware that the speed limit on I-75 was 35. written warning.

I get pulled over all the time in this city because i have the only M Coupe in town and 1 of 5 (that i've seen) M's total. Had one cop ask me what the model was for ticket info. He just left it a BMW. No tickets though, just warnings.
