pulled over for having an aftermarket exhaust, just an exhaust, no downpipe, upipe, engine mods, just the sound/noise, i got pulled over, then they saw my tint, i was too "low", and for having a rosary (yes i'm d typical filipino) hanging by my rear view mirror, saying it was obstructing my view, i've been driving since i was 13 (in the PI), and since i was 16 here in the states, and i've always had a rosary/cross dangling over my rear view and never really was a reason for my getting into an accident....
fixed the exhaust ticket with gettng a smog check, knew another officer to sign off the tint without having to take if off my windows, and got the ticket signed from an officer, while i placed my rosary in my pocket, and after signing it, put it back on the winshield,and yes, i got an even bigger cross from the church!!

1. SPEEDING - Countless times
almost always 20mph over
2. got a couple recently for not following the speed signs. forget the real term for it. seems like a new one that they are all doing.
3. STreet Racing. one time, but was dismissed
4. couple of reckless driving ones. ONe accident when i bumped someone from behind...was pissed about that. Its bad enough that im going to have to pay higher preimiums but now i got a stupid ticket as well. and then recently b/c i was doing well over 30mph on the highway and he decided to hit me with that.
5. Loud Music. driving down rich neighborhood or want to act like they rich and the cop pulled me over for my music.
6. tail lights in my old accord. i had put super whites in there and after a few warnings someone decided to give me a ticket for them.

soya....just reminded me of the only ticket I ever talked myself out of. Don't know how I forgot it.
If anyone knows santa cruz well at all....i get off the freeway all the time at granite road...the denny's and chevron and shell...on 17 just before it drops to the 50mph area...scotts valley.
Getting back on there is a really short entrance...I make the left at the light to hit the entrance and my buddy says he lets eat and denny's real quick...so I bust a u turn....well there is an off ramp right there too....very very illegal place to bust a uturn. Cop nails me.......
I am like...what did I get pulled over for..he's like...you just made very hazerdous and illegal u turn...I says.....ohhhh...I thought I was getting on the off ramp...saw that big red sign and it freaked me out.....
He takes my lisense...says hayward on it....says..where you from...I says hayward..he says..you just come over here for the day...I says yeah...he says....well...that is the onramp as well as the offramp there....do you know how to get home...I said..kinda...he says...well take 17 it turns into 880....etc...etc....
I says...oh thank you sir...won't happen again...I don't come here often.
As I get on the freeway my friend next to me is like...dude your from santa cruz I thought you knew wear you were going...I started laughing....and says...I do you dumb idiot....he was like...man that was the smoothest thing I have ever seen.
So sweet.....I mean if you have driven there....there is a light for crying out loud...with a turn lane.....why would there be a turn lane to the offramp? haaaaaa.
Anyone drive there.....you feel me....crazy isn't it...

Once when I was 17 driving home from Sea World (work) in my parent's 1988 Subaru DL
That was for speeding I don't even remember now exactly what it was, around 50 in a 35 I think. Cop was a dick to me for no reason (besides the fact that I was speeding), I got my ticket, went to traffic school, no harm no foul.
Once when I was puttering through San Ramon for expired tags.
I had paid registration, but I never got my tags in the mail. It had been 6 months, and I had already contacted the DMV for an appointment. I had my canceled check from the DMV in the car, as well as paperwork showing my appointment with the DMV later that week. Dude looked up my registration in the computer, said it was current, and sent me on my way.

I live in Fremont, go figure...
1) Pulled over in my Dad's '02 GT-S /w performance kit. Going 50 in a 45mph just off of Automall. The cop was like "Why are you pullin' on here?" Daytime automall people fly by at like 50mph+ between 880 and 680. Asked if I had an aftermarket exhaust, I told him it was stock, and he gives me some glare. Popped the hood, and guess what, he said it was stock (duhhhh). Let me go.
What's worse is that he took his nice time checkin' my registration. My dad drives by (i was right across from my house too) and pulls into our house. I drive up and he's sittin' there and says "Speedin' huh?" "Yea, I was only going 50 in a 45 zone, he let me off. Gave me a fix it ticket for license" I didn't know you had to get one of those things from the DMV for moving.
2) The backroads where Gruppe-S is around, between Automall and Stevenson. Cop hit me where the harly and all the car shops were around. Switched in a 2 way 2 lane that runs along 880. Going 50 in a 35mph zone. I recall once before where I was sittin' with PJ in his rex hittin' 90+. PJ told me they test their cars there all the time, guess I was unlucky with some stupid dick headed cop on a motocycle sittin' on the side of one of the turn ins. Fined somewhere near 200 bux.
Yes, Fremont is the worst place to be, even with STOCK CARS.

- CHP. Speeding between Vallejo and Fairfield 80 in a 55. No grace. 80 in a 55.
- CHP. Speeding between Vallejo and Fairfield 80 in a 65. No grace. 80 in a 65.
I learned my lesson. I got a job in San Francisco and hardly drive that way anymore
- SFPD. Running a red light at Judah and 9th. I mouthed off to the cop because I knew I didn't do it. Somehow, he doesn't show up and his affidavit/report, even though it has information that actually proves my case, I lose the case.
- SFPD. Speeding & Loud exhaust. Let me off on the speeding. Still got the ticket for the exhaust which was truly horrendous. I showed him the new parts in the back seat that were for the fix, still gave me the ticket. Over all, the nicest cop I've met so far. There was a clerical error and the court had no record I wrote the ticket off, even though I did everything properly. Warrant goes out for my arrest. I go before a judge, show receipts, records, etc and he believes me. Somehow I still paid $40
The ticked was $10. The warrant fine was $128. He actually haggled with me!? I shoulda just said "Well, I didn't do anything wrong to deserve the warrant... so how about just $10". Ah 20/20 hindsight.
The staticts are that people commit 2,000 moving violations between every ticket. I'm sure I've done more than that since my last ticket (mostly speeding on city streets). I'm ALWAYS scanning for cops. I've had a few close calls (coming around a corner and oops, there's a cop) but not tickets in a few years now *knock on wood*. I just try to be safe all the time... doesn't mean I always obey the vehicle code

onemanarmy-- that is hilarious. i actually grew up in scotts valley so i know exactly the onramp you're talking about. svpd are bored out of their minds so you probably gave them their most exciting story of the week by busting that u.
when i got pulled over in berkeley for making the illegal left i could literally see my apartment. it took everything i had to keep from busting up when he started talking about how in the big city they have to prohibit left turns at certain times cause it causes traffic. he also said, 'the sign is really small'. i was like 'yeeeeeah, that sign is small'.

iLoqin....I used to chill at Streetwize....cops always patrol that part of the road because of Streetwize and the harley shop....kids with performance cars and people on bikes...it's ticket central.......we always test drive the cars on 880 right there...just pop out at automall and go to stevenson then go back...same difference but less likely to get a ticket believe it or not.
I almost got snagged there a few times.
