When he pulls me over he said that when I hit the brakes to slow for the Sun Pass lane that he could not see my tail lights due to the tint covering them.
I told him he was wrong and I would prove it to him. So I looked up Florida Statue 316.221(1). I read to him that all cars must emit a red light visible from 1k feet and that no covering may be applied that restricts the visibility from 1k feet. I asked if he wanted to walk by 1k feet and determine if that is the case or if he wants to stand in front of the judge and explain himself. I then asked how the unmarked fhp dodge chargers have BLACK tail lights. He pretty much told me I was a smart ass and that I was lucky to be getting off.
I explained to him that it is sad I know the law better than him and he is a LEO.
Goes to show how quick cops are to issue tickets and how lazy they are to learn the laws the are hired to enforce.

I am not a cop hater, but if there were ever a more useless excuse for human beings it would be FHP...
They are there FOR ONE reason, to collect revenue for the state. THATS IT.
Take that whole law enforcement shit and shove it up thier ass. You can't enforce shit that you routinely break urself.
Yesterday for some reason I saw 2 BSO officers one with a completely smashed front end and the other with a rear tire blown out...
I dont know why but i had NO compassion for them.
Asshole of me I know.

Wow these cops must be running out of shit to do. Tinted tail lights come on! Still doesn't beat getting pulled over for doing 65 in a 65 though but close Morgan.. close!
That's what I get for calling that cop a racist for pullin' over the black dude on University.

lmao i love reading all your stories on cops and tickets. heres mines,
im in my sisters camry (not my s2000) and im doing 80 in a 65 on the 836 as i pass planet dodge and carmax ect, and once i go towards the 137 ave exit i get to the top of the first hill and theres 6 FHP waiting and tell me to pull over. i pull over and as im looking for the registration and insurance the cop goes hey let me see those pictures (they were my sisters pics of clubbing ect that she had in her glove compartment) i guess the cop thought she was hot or something and hes like ok man call your sister and tell her she just saved you from a ticket. and the guy let me off. best cop ever!
