What have you been pulled over for in NYC?

So I got my catless downpipe from VRSF installed on my N55, and its loud enough to me. I was thinking of getting the muffler delete on top and heard it was a lot louder after. Not sure if I should do it because I already have dark tints. I feel like a loud car and tints is a quick pull over.

I have 20% tints all around with 35% windshield and a catless downpipe. Havent been pulled over for the year and couple months that I've had it.

What have you been pulled over for? And what did they ticket you for?

Speeding, speeding, & speeding. But only on the highways!
Other than that, dogs off leash....

I haven't heard of many people getting tickets for violating sound ordnance in NYC.

I stopped tinting my car because of the inspection bullshit now. There's ways around it but I'm lazy.

Primarily speeding.

My plate is on a tow hook plate holder and one day the screw got a bit loose. Didn't have the tool to tighten it so I took it off and put the plate on my windshield. Got a ticket for the one day I had it there 🙄

Never been pulled over in NYC, only a parking ticket which I gave the cop a piece of my mind and spent 3 years fighting it and won

NJ on the other hand I have 23 citations 21 of them I beat. Got three more right now all of which I'm confident I'll win as well.

Got pulled over for making a right on red because I didn't want to block the crosswalk. Lucked out when the cop saw the corner of a NYC PBA card that someone had given me when I used to be a bouncer lol.
I didn't even think to take it out but he asked to see it. When I showed it to him he asked me where I got it and then he told me to be more careful and watch the signs!

Stopped only one for supposedly not yielding to a pedestrian when turning right. The damn guy was looking the OTHER way and just did an about face and walked fast af into the crosswalk. Cop asked for paperwork and I gave him my license with an SBA card behind it. He gave me the stuff and just drove off.

If they were serious about reducing pedestrian deaths they would just make walkways that go over the road instead of the chaos of pedestrian not allowing vehical to turn and when someone can finally turn it already red.

My driving tactics are legal which is why I won so many cases. The cops feel like they can arbitrary apply the law because of the 90% of individual who coward to the states authority. I'm the 10% that makes sure to humble them once in awhile.

So if you are legal, why are you pulled so often?

Exactly. Always more to the story and people think they are in the right. Law enforcement doesn't just stop people for no reason. That means unnecessary paperwork for them that they don't want to write.

Well let use my most recent example
A major light within my town has a bias against people making a left onto a major highway meanwhile the side that it favoe going straight has little to no flowing traffic generally resulting in massive congestion on everyone waiting to make a left and frusting driver to run the red light. I on the other hand pass the light go to a portion that the double yellow line no longer exist, no sign saying u-turn or left turn are not permitted and am able to see beyond 500 ft front and back which according to the letter of the law is a legal u-turn. I perform the u-turn right in front of the officer which as stated is completely legal according to state law and the officer proceeds to still pull me over. Officer then cites half the law but not the 500ft portion to make it appear I did something unlawful and sucker me into pleading to a lesser charge because omg the ticket has point. No I'm not going to behave like a whip peasant and accept I did something wrong when my dash camera, the letter of the law, and basic measurement show I did everything legal. The reschedule for the case is next week so I'll inform you when I win and I hope you will be man enough to admit that officer are human and f up citing tickets something in their effort to be a tax collector for the state in stead of protecting life, property, and the peace for the citizens.

P.s. it doesn't harm me financially since I have a flexible schedule which I can perform 95% of my work remotely.

Pss. I'm Hispanic

Good for you, Norman!
I go to fight all my speeding tickets, with some success. When the taxman pulls the less safe vehicles, like SUVs & junkers with bald tires, before he pulls my well maintained car, then I will like them better.

Don't get me started when the officer break the law that they are suppose to enforce I've actually gone to police station and filed tickets on three cops already and won those cases as well once again thanks to my dash camera and knowing the law. I did that four years ago last time my local cops really piss me off.
