Colorado B.S. Thread

Ha ha ha ha ha, that made my morning.

 

I had 10% on my old GTI and the few times I got pulled over I remembered what a few cop friends told me to do.

Any time you get pulled over, especially at night, do the following.
Pull off the side of the road as far as possible to not make the cop stand in traffic; they appreciate not being at as much risk.
Roll both of your front windows, if not all 4, all the way down.
Turn on your interior lights
Shut the vehicle off
Keep your hands on the wheel

I never had a cop ask me to roll my window back up to check the tint and they were generally a lot more at ease knowing I had nothing to hide and no way of running away. FWIW it's generally led to a more pleasant interaction all around.

 

Nice morning for a walk with the dogs.

 

This. Typically respect for authority will get you respect as well. Has always worked for me except with one CSP. I think he was out to issue a ticket regardless.

 

Hey everyone, just posted a new thread, but wanted to invite you all out to a meetup at RedRocks in a couple of weeks. Would be nice to see a bunch of good looking Tacoma's out there.

That's a cool idea !

 

I was wondering about this cause i was illegal in ca but im REALLY illegal here in regards to darkness .... do you have to fix it or is that just the "tax"?

Anyhow, also was suprised to see snow this morning but yall know im a new resident so this is my first colorado snow .... for some reason theres hardly any in my front yard but the backyard got a bit

 

im down if im not working that day assuming im employed by then

 

Was at the dealership this morning and found a nail in my right front's sidewall. Leaking air pretty bad so I had to pony up and replace it. $$$

 

Some cops write F U tickets, some are just trying to enforce the codes. And if you installed the tint yourself, its between 500 and 1000 bucks

 

Its a surcharge, mostly goes to help pay for services for people who have been victims of crimes.

 

can i get away with the "i bought it like this" excuse or do cops in co not fall for that

 

No they don't really. Because the reasoning is that once you take possession of the car, its your responsibility to know what's legal and what's not.

 

aight .... and i know the out of state excuse prob wont work either since front tint is also illegal in ca

question #2 ... does the front plate need to be affixed to the bumper or is the window ok?

 

Sub'd.

Saw PS78's invite on http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/sports-hobbies-interests/233918-thinking-about-moving-colorado.html

 

Front bumper is required by the statute.
