California Highway Patrol Guinea Pig
so how many people has ever gotten pulled over for the sole reason of the law enforcement training a rookie? me myself i've gotten pulled over 3 times including today. i was driving along minding my own business when the C.H.P. decides to pull me over and nail me for everything. from tinted windows, ride height, intake , exhaust, u name it, i got nabbed for it. he was training a rook and decided i would be one of his lessons. after about 15 minutes, he decides to let me go with a "warning". damn cops, don't they have anything better to do. and they wonder y people hate them so much.

well, be glad that you got a warning instead of a training ticket. i haven't got pulled over so far, and I don't plan of getting pulled over anytime soon. That is why I plan to keep my ride as stock as it can be, or look stock that is.

ride height is measured by ur headlights. the middle section of ur headlights has to be at least 22 inches off the ground. most law enforcement carry with them measuring tape to measure ur ride if they decide to ticket u for that reason.

yea its your main lights like he said 22 inches off the ground...
Funny thing is I called pulled over when coming back from washington right as I passed into the cali border... The CHP guy told me that Rosseti the fremont cop is the one teaching the classes now through out all of cali. Rosseti is one of the biggest jerks of a cop you will ever meet. So look out people its only getting worse.

the ones that are easiest to hit for being "too low" are trucks that use blocks to lower the rear. I heard a story a while back ago about a chp officer that would pull over mini trucks and let the air out of the tires. If your car was touching the ground you got a ticket and two flat tires and if he was wrong you still got two flat tires.

So Rosetti is training other cops on what to look for with mods? I guess since he seems to know everything that people might do to their cars and has probably wracked up the most tickets of any cop in CA.
I thought the original point of all the attention on street racers was to stop accidents right? So you target the people who look like they might be trying to race because of the profile. And when you find someone who fits the profile, you nail em for everything they've changed on the car.
So what can we do? We have to change the profile! We need to have street racing rules that you can only race cars that look bone-stock on the outside. No more neons, no more giant coffee can exhaust tips (Sorry Gabe). No more missing front plates. No more limo-tinted front side windows. No more fancy wheels. No more crazy paint jobs. No more sponsorship stickers. Internal modifications only. NOTHING you can see from the outside. That'll stop the cops from bothering people who have externally modified cars right? Right? RIGHT!
Just remember, it's all about the $afety of the public.
