Don't worry I've already got about 8 tickets with the xb. Most of the time the cop will pull me over and look up and down my car to find anything he could give me a ticket for.

i had a cop pull me over and use that high beam. i was like 10 inches from the curb trying to line up close and it made me blind and i scraped my month old rims. In about 2 weeks when my new rims come ill throw the old ones up cheap. Theyre just some nice loking cheap ones but fit stock tires so its cool

Guys.. first off... he didn't MAKE you get out of the car... sounds like you allowed him to search... he most likely put you in the back seat of his car because he was by himself.. the spotlight is used to light up the car during the night time and for tactical purposes (the cop doesn't know who you are)...

I wasn't there though so who knows if any of it was justified.. just throwing out my .02

well you have witnesses, and also, im not familiar with the
xB, but are the parking lights the same as the tC where
they are "courtesy lights"?

Plus you were going down the road, I didn't see anywhere
you said you pulled out of the steak and shake and you were in the process of turning your lights on

so i must question also, why were you going down the road with your parking lights on?

For a college student, you sure have problems with little
things like punctuation. I can see how you would forget your
lights.

The cop was technically correct in giving you a ticket, but
he didn't have to. He could have just said "turn your lights
on son, and be careful".

Must have been quota time for the troopers.
Sorry to hear about the ticket though, that is a bummer.

Here's a little tip: If you get pulled over for whatever reason, be VERY respectful. DO NOT have an attitude like "why you hassling me, man?" I'm not saying you were. For all I know, you were very respectful. I'm using this as a general statement. A lot of police officers get really tired of dealing with smart-mouthed punk kids who want to act all tuff to impress their friends in the car. Often times, if you are nice and respectful, you may get off on a warning. It's usually up to the officer's discretion to write you up, or give you a warning. I've been pulled over 5 times in my life. I've gotten one ticket (several years ago).

Here I am on the left, in the Michael's Muffler t-shirt and Oakley prescription glasses. I'm 5'7" and 205 lbs.

So you know if I stop anyone in Oakland, you know who you are dealing with.

o and by the way to the person that made the comment about how your lights werent on my lights were on, cause when he pulled me over my friend said i just turn my car off and when i did i was like well i better turn the light out to, and you know what when i turned the light button to the off postion the wall to the building in front of me went dark, and thats when he shined his dam spot light on me, and when i checked the ticket the sob cop wrote down probably cause no head lights... he just wanted to pull me over cause i had 4 young guys in my car and it was 1am and he was fishing for something but i was doing nothing wrong so he had to make an excuse

It has nothing to do with "grammer." It's the fact that your posts are one really long run-on sentence. Take the time and read what you wrote. If it doesn't sound like you can take a breath somewhere in there, then try breaking it up with punctuation, like periods.

Yeah, your "grammer" sucks, but that wasn't the point. If you use the word "and" more than a couple of times in a sentence you need some periods. Your first "sentence" in your last post was *104* words without a break, and the only break you had in the entire post (143 words) was ellipses.

There's a reason I don't come to this forum all that often. It has a lot to do with the fact that people have so little respect for each other that they expect others to have to translate the gobbledy____ that they spew out in text. When asked to translate they get all whiney and complain that "this isn't english class." Well, it makes you look illiterate and lazy.
