Ever since I started to do things to my car, I've noticed an increase in attention from many people, mostly cops though. But what can you do? To be honest, I'm definitely in the wrong, I like to drive fast, sue me. I received my first ticket in January, right after I got new headlights, for doing 79 in a 65. Second ticket was issued in April, shortly after I put a few stickers on my window, for doing 65 in a 40. For my birthday/graduation presents I got some coilovers, and I got my third ticket yesterday, just one day after I lowered my car, for doing 49 in a 30.
I lawyered up after the second one to keep from losing my license or having my insurance drop me, since the court wouldn't let me get it deferred. My lawyer thinks they can probably get this last one dismissed because the cop that pulled me over told me he clocked me at 40 coming around the curve, then put 49 on the ticket. I honestly thought the speed limit on that street was 35, so I was going 35 and let it coast down the last hill and around the curve on the street, and the cop was sitting right around the curve and lit me up. When he came to my window he asked the usual questions, do you know why I pulled you over?, Why were you going so fast?, then he asked me if I knew that the speed limit was 30, and I really didn't. He told me he clocked me at 40, went to his car, came back about ten minutes later and told me the ticket was for going 19 over the posted speed limit. I wasn't really thinking about it or I would've asked him to show me the radar.
While he was in his car he made a phone call to somebody, then on my way home, I took a different street (making sure to go the speed limit posted) and I passed a cop, who promptly pulled out behind me and followed me all the way home and parked down the street facing my house.
Does anybody else get profiled in a similar manner?
