DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Just dont drive through Lewisville with them. I got pulled over twice by the same cop in two diff vehicles for lighting violations. Ended up in arguments and a phone call to his supervisor both times.

 

Similar to this one:

Sure, if you don’t want to get pulled over.. but I dare a cop to write a ticket for any lights I’m running on or off. No chance that ticket holds up in court.

I mean what’s to stop them from pulling you over for raptor lights?

 

Shits getting out of hand lol

 

at least it's clear

 

True

 

the SAE fogs, from what I've read, are supposed to ensure they have a beam pattern specified for fog lights or whatever other SAE spec they are tested against, ie: they have a cut off that prevents them from blinding drivers or whatnot. I've currently got a set of the Morimoto fogs in the truck, but considering swapping them out for the KC G4 ambers. On the other hand, I'm currently re-wiring my 55w PIAA halogens behind the grill to handle a 100w bulb...

 

The law?

Raptor lights wouldn't be probable cause to initiate a traffic stop as long as they meet the standard of identification lights (no more than 3/non-glare). Illegal equipment (i.e. improper colored lights, uncovered light bars) might be enough to initiate a stop without another moving violation.

 

I was rolling through my town late one night last week. It was sooooper foggy, so I was running my Amber ditch lights the see if it would help any. Btw, at that height they make it worse. Anyway, I passed a patrol car and they kept going, which surprised me. I guess they either didn't care or figured I was just trying to see better and decided to leave me alone. I wasn't speeding or giving any other reason to stop me, so I guess as with a lot of things, it depends on the mood and personality of the officer in that moment.

 

Or just knowledge of “the law”

 

The blunt of the object is, they can pull you over and ticket you for pretty much whatever they want. And whether or not it holds up in court is up to the mood the judge is in that day and how blatantly you want to argue. I almost got arrested in court for defending myself against something that was physically impossible. I lost.

 

You expect the officer pulling you over to have a clear and functional understanding of "the law"? Im glad you still have faith in people.

 

Ah ha! There is a thing about the reasonable expectation of the law. Is someone causing a problem?

 

Got my pops all fixed up last night with his new decked system might have to get one of these for my truck.

 

They’re very nice. I really like mine, too.

 

Im pro law enforcement, half of my family and friends are LEO's.....but ive been pulled over for some REALLY dumb stuff. Lol.

 

@ttatum spotted in Keller. Red taco you waived at. Fam and I headed to IHOP. Love your rig man!

 

Does anyone have a portable air compressor I can borrow for the week of Thanksgiving?

 

Yes I have a small Dewalt, electric

 

Will it fit behind the back seat?
