I'm going to fight the ticket in court......since I have a clean driving history and no prior tickets except for having blue bulbs in my old car...come to think about it..... I got pulled over in Waikiki for that.....
I always steer clear of entering waikiki.

I wonder if you making all of those turns trying to avoid him lead him to pull you over? That kinda makes you look like you are trying to hide something (not defending the cop here) but if that was me I would think that you were up to something?

one thing i must say- since i have been in law enforcement for 5 years....
we all know what it takes to NOT receive tickets... so when one enters or lives in waikiki with a car that is not legal(at least according to the local laws) why is it such a big deal? sure some of these tags for violations may seem excessive. . .
but come on you guys know what you're getting into once you enter that concrete tourist paradise we call waikiki-

when i go waikiki i try to stay away from kuhio... that where most of the "action" takes place anyway.

i work in (hotel) waikiki, my co worker has been followed by a cop till the hotel parking lot. and got ticket for not having a recon on his acura. even the co'worker hotel security (also a cop) is trying to help him. but nothing happen, this guys are crazy. i wonder if they give ticket on their fellow police (off duty) hehehehe

my friend that's a cop told me that if your car isn't totally illegaled out....i.e. you have recon, proper lighting, not a 2 feet wing, not too loud etc.....they'll let you pass through kalakaua the first time....but if you bust a U in kuhio to circle around again....they'll bust you...first time's a freebie...of course if it's hunt then it's a different story....

^^ yeah didn't mean to just generalize one street. but because of the residential areas on kuhio it just seems like theres more of the "hidden" action - kalakaua is like the boardwalk of waikiki. kuhio just seems to have been a haven of all kinds of funky stuff. going on ride-a-longs in a blue and white proved that to me.
