F-in' cops follow me to my house...

[mmdb]

I'm in the lame OC, s. cali and I drive passed a police car and he makes a u-turn, follows me into my neighborhood, and as I park my car he stares at me... stops. I open the garage ignoring him, park my car inside and he drives off. This was around 10:45pm. I only have a Greddy sp exhaust which is noticably loud, wheels, kit. Was probably eyeing me because of the whole import packaged coupe. Oh well. Guess he'll have to get me another day.

[Red Square]

some cop did that my friend too. where in OC did it happen?

[mmdb]

Fountain Valley. Another incident, I was followed a few miles in Anahiem but I wasn't pulled over *knock on wood*. I had my exhaust on for a few monthes now and no problems till this close call.

[Annoying Eric]

Why are you even gonna bitch about it. Are you allowed to have the exhuast on while living in cali... NO, so expect shit to happen. Maybe he was making sure that you werent gonna do something stupid and harm other people... I've been pulled over numerous times and i know why.. I DONT HAVE A STOCK CAR, and im sure plenty of people on here get pulled over and dont whine about it.

[TheSnail]

The police hate me with a passion. I had change in my pocket and they gave me 4 felony’s. I was in the back seat of a car and they gave me a DUI. I accelerated to the speed limit too fast and they revoked my license for 1.5years. I shiver when I see them. I would not worry if I was in your shoes. But if you have a record and they dont like you, they can and will fuck your shit up. Bend over for the law before its to late.

[redsuns3838]

wow annoying eric u really live up to ur name.

anyways its no biggie. im in fountain valley too. it happens to me all the time altho they never do shit so im pretty happy. actually the 5-0 round here is pretty cool. as long as u dont ride 4 deep in a car u wont usually run into trouble.
i got boxed in by 3 pigs and search lites shined in my car while i was driving. ive been tailed home who knows howmany times, altho i never stop outside MY house. and just last nite i got rolled for a blown tail lite but they let me go. as long as im not getting tickets im happy. ppl up in LA get tix for a lot of shit and hoodpopped all the time. when i was irvine i got harassed a lot more. now im in lil saigon and pigs have other shit to worry about Gangs n drugs mainly.

ride 4 deep and its sittin on the curb and having ur interior torn apart for YOO!!!

well he probably got annoyed because of driver profiling? just because he has a fixed up car. oh well.

[sideview_180sx]

or because he is trying to imply that NYC is the same as so cal, which those in cali know what we go thru.

[mistaanime]

lol..the cop wants to steal ur car....heh nah..he was probably listenin to your exhaust..and if it is too loud he'll pull you over for disturbance..

[*NismoS13*]

It sounds like it's really bad out there with modified cars and all. I would hate that. My advice would be to just keep doing your thing, and be respectful with the Officers if you ever get into any situations....hopefully they'll take that into account.

-Adam

[lucky7]

i agree.

+1 more for michigan. i guess i dont have it that bad. but that flakey cold white shit is on its way. boooo

[drift freaq]

ppl up in LA get tix for a lot of shit and hoodpopped all the time.

!
excuse me. I live in L.A. and that shit does not happen all the time in fact it does not happen at all. Now if your in the San Gabriel Valley or maybe your street racing out in the San Fernando Valley but L.A. the City itself is pretty much chill cops don't blink a eye unless your getting extremely blatant. In fact, I have had them pull along side me and basically tell me to slow down, I say ok and they drive off.

[ThatGuy]

How many threads will Zilvia have to endure of people whining about the cops in Cali? If you are being followed, or pulled over and there is NOTHING illegal about your car then file a complaint. But if you are rolling around with parts on your car that you know you aren't supposed to have, you have no reason to bitch. We all know California sucks, and if we forget, we can always Search for "Cops" on Zilvia and find more people complaining. If you're going to roll with illegal parts, then learn how to deal with Johnny Law. Whining on Zilvia won't solve a damn thing!

if u hate it that much, just assimilate to the white preppy crowd like in that show, the O.C. drive lifted jeep wranglers with a pink collared polo shirt, popped if you really wanna be gay, then cops will leave you alone.

[revat619]

fwiw, you can have an aftermarket exhaust on your car in cali. As long as its after the cat and meets noise restrictions. Trust me, i have the entire CA Vehicle Code downloaded as a pdf. If you know your rights and read the laws, they cant BS you. I went to the sheriffs station the last time i got an exhaust ticket and read him the laws myself as to why i could have the exhaust and he knew what was up. "Looks like you've been doing some reading." Dang right i have, and i'll never let those retards get me for something for no reason again. End of story.

[420sx]

wow. move to Texas. end of story. bye bye

See, the noise restriction part is worrysome. Don't they have the right to ticket you based on their own judgement of loud?

[KA24DESOneThree]

Yes, but then you can go to a ref and have them sign off if your exhaust passes.

[Var]

Maybe he was making sure that you werent gonna do something stupid and harm other people...


You and I both know that's complete bullshit. And besides he has the right to do whatever he wants in his car as long as he understands the consequences. I've had cops follow me before in my sr'ed s13 and now in my Vette cause the exhaust is loud, and I always make it a point to look at them in the eye..like wtf are you doing idiot? Sometimes I wave, sometimes i put on my hazards for a second.

This one time a cop was waiting in front of my house. I think i was suspected of selling drugs . He parked like 3 houses down from me and followed me as soon as i left the driveway. I pretended like i was driving towards the college right by my house and he turned the other way. So i slammed my brakes in the middle of the intersection and hit my hazards(after he started to make a left behind me and i know he saw it cause he hit his brakes and he was confused). I pulled my window down and waved at him and he shook his head. I could tell he was not happy.

[jOeHaCk98]

All you poor fuckers need to move to the east coast


Poor fuckers? We live on the west coast because we aren't poor. :)

Snow and the beach an hour away from eachother. Some of the hottest girls, West coast has it all :) Oh, great weather.

[TheSnail]

East coast doesn't have a homosexual city. :)

[redsuns3838]

sorry drift freaq i meant more on the eastern parts of LA. san gabriel, MP, rowland, etc. actual westwood/hollywood area i agree with u, its not bad at all. but east part has so many shops and ppl into tuning and giving tuning a bad rep that cops start thinking every kid with an exhaust is a drag racer etc etc.

overall i guess its true. dont drive like an ass and usually u wont have a problem. sumtimes the 5-0 has a shitty day tho and wants to be a dick and thats when its like 2 dicks and no bitch.

[supportTHEezln]

I leave in east LA county, right by Rowland, Hacienda, etc etc...my car is not very acceptable on the street, but I still don't get pulled over...know why? I DON'T DRIVE LIKE AN IDIOT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! Cops don't give a shit if you have an SR, a bodykit, etc etc, unless you drive like an idiot.

[ManoNegra]

East coast doesn't have a homosexual city. :)

But you have New Jersey and the first state to acknowledge gay marriages...

As said before: don't drive like an idiot and you'll be fine. Been followed to my house a couple of times, been tailed in the street and on the freeway, had flashlights pointed at me... whatever. Deal with it.

[TheSnail]

You have gay emissions, gay gun laws. And you host the gay capital of the world. I mean, homosexuals move there because they are accepted.

[KA24DESOneThree]

You have gay emissions, gay gun laws. And you host the gay capital of the world. I mean, homosexuals move there because they are accepted.

I would say they're more accepted in Brazil or Holland.

Stop making stereotypical statements, although I agree with you about the stupid emissions laws and absolutely crazy gun laws. I doubt we have a higher gay acceptance rate than most of the East Coast.

[jOeHaCk98]

Serious, the west coast is a lot larger than 1 city.

[Var]

Snail you've somewhat got a point. Homosexuals feel safe in SF, or in California in general. But that's because it's easier for people in CA to accept most things. Nothing really comes as a shock anymore. In reality your ability to accept things is the ability to ignore. I dont condone homosexuality, and I dont even really accept it, but I can ignore it just fine. And in reality, you dont even see ambiguously gay people unless you're in the Castro district.

[TheSnail]

^ I agree with you 100%.But when someone said something about EC I had to say something in return. Its not hatred of any sort its a dick measuring contest.:)

[sLiDewAys]

i got pulled over 4 months ago for modified exhaust. At the time i had the old pollished tip grey piping apexi n1 3 inch on ca18det coupe. HE mainly pulled me over beasue of the large stickers in the back of my car then told me he also has suspicion beasue i had modified exhaust then asked me if i race and have i modifed the engine. I told him that i wasnt shure becasue i bought the car like this and he stared at me with doubt, told me to pop the hood and step outside the car. so i call my mom and pops on the ohone and tell them to come down, just as i was holding a conbversation with my parents the cop yells a tme with this downright ugly attitide and proceeded to near pul me out my car then i hung up the phone. told me to step out the car and pop the hood. So i step ou thte car and proceed to ask him calmly, questions about m y right and modified vehicles becasue i have a printed out section on leal modifications. he compleelty blew me off and poped my hood himself w/o my permission. he demanded thati sit on the curb and wait for him ot finnish his inspection on my motor. I got up and asked him calmy" is it okay if i sit right next to you and watch you inspect my motor so i know at all times on inspection what is exactly under violation" and he gets extreemly angry by my request........ thats odd then tells me that i am obstructing an officers duties and puts me under arrest. well he never finished or documented my modifications. at the time i had

ca18det, greddy bov, ssauto manifold 02 dump downpipe and 3 inch exhasut with no cat:).. so i got away with a misdemenor and fine with community service but still no ref so im somewhat happy. but yea thats my story. i spent 7 hours in county holdin cell.

^Mainly because Californians in general think they are the only Members of Zilvia, and don't need to use the Regional section. Plus all they ever do is bitch about how bad they have things with smog and cops, but bash everyone who isn't in Cali. :cj:

This is not to say everyone from Cali. is bad. In fact I like alot of people from California. I just get tired of reading whining posts about how bad you have it, then read you bashing Joe Nobody from Ohio because he can't find parts locally.

or maybe phlip is right and you shouldn't say things like that.

[chlatboy]

Dont drive like an ass and your chances will be lower. Dont drive your modified car period and there will be no chance at all. Its true that most cops are dicks but its not like we can do anything. If you dont follow what they say, they will just get you for something else. And if they cant find somethin, they will make it up. In the end, you lose. So take the easy way, or the hard way.

[sLiDewAys]

so i suppose most of us 240 owners are ballers now. IC. how we went from majoritily low budget tuners to super honda money making nissan owners right? i suppsoe we can all jsut buy a secondary car/ truth is majority of 240 owners drive our moded cars daily to work and home. 2 years ago this was not a huge problem but today as we speak it has became more harassment than it is regulation of street racing. not to put honda on the map for creating this problem becasue i am shure we have all aided to how strict laws are today but they are one of the leaders. 2 years ago i could drive my car down the interstate with a fart can and CHP wouldnt say anything but just for the fact that street racing incorperates modified vehicles they are forced to crack down on anything related to import tuning. even those who roll with compleelty legal things such as the greddy street legal turbo kit for ka and the b18, k&n filters. just those things that have carb stickers you can get sent to REF for. I just so h appen have the compleete 05 clafiornia vehicle handbook in my car at all times when i get pulled over and everytime i whip oit out they leave me alone. i know my laws and reguation but that still doesnt mean my car is legal. just means the visual things they pull me over for i can get out of. but dont sit here and imply that we need to grive other things than what we tune beasue not all of us can afford another vehicle other than out own.

STFU. dont come out talkin, he was expressing the way he felt about people and i agree.. I believe that majority of the police in california are all power hungary. The fact that the state tells them its okay to harass and enforce the law 2X over what it should be is crap, The fact that Cops and the state spend majority of their time hunting down street racers in secluded areas and modified cars is a waste of time. So, yes in the past we have lost lives in street racing but we also lose lives over gang violence, domestic violence, vehicular accidents other than street racing, overhyped racism, rape, Not to mention our government sending thousand of troops over to....... and i wish not to go into detail about how i feel about this becasue we are sticking to this topic on police.

dont get me wrong, I back LAW ENFORCMENT 100% when it envolves saving lives protecting and serving the community. but harassin car tuners does not cover any of the above whatsoever.

I see a lot of people come on this thread and start acting hard, E-thuggin tellin ppl off. how about you back your word and if your able to meet then settle it. You want to tell me off then thats fine, but dont e-thugg and talk a bunch behind your computer screen. im close enough to sj to drive, u want some. lets meet otherwise keep your moth shut and enjoy expressing your feelings about california law enforcment.

so back on track, it was about a year ago before i swapped my ca18. had a huge n1 single canister 3 inch exhaust with dohc ka. passe dby police CHP whatever. NEVER anything for i'd say 7 or 8 months. my car was down for a while and id read on the forums about how badd thigns have gotten for imports in jsut a few weeks. Sac has been crackin down on majoritily imports. Profiling now are we? so all 240 drivers street race, so all honda drivers have illegal swaps? well.... some/ but out of those who have illegal parts equiped.. who have actually done illegal things.? i jsut feel that you need probibal cause to pull someone over... cops treat you like crap when they pull you over, so quick to assume and give attitude. why cant it just be" hello sir" and begin to explain why they pulled you over rather than being a downright asshole off the bat. thats just how i feel. ive been screwed over and profiled since i was old enough to ride the bus by myself. being a young colored male in the 20th century feels like the world still has not forgotten about racism.

because cops are poeple too. they have bad days. you know how much crap they take from the average driver? hell, if you had to say the same exact thing a million times a day and hear the same lame excuses over and over you'd get sick of it real fast too.

racism is real and it will never go away. everyone's a racist, its just that some are honest/Aholes about it.

anyhow, people hate cops when they aren't protecting THEM but the second you need something what are you sayin? fuggin two faced, that is. despite popular belief 98% of the time cops think they're protecting the public even though they pull you over for something like being too low or too loud. its a job and they have rules to follow too. if they just let everybody walk they'd lose their job, but none of you give a crap about that. you're the idiots that take up for a state that's bending you over and not even using the KY.

get a clue, you love the state that screws you and hate the cops that enforces the states laws...

[sLiDewAys]

i dont love this state. im from NY. I dont call for police when i have touble beasue they have proved to be unreliable in my past. dont speak as if u know me or what ive been through. if your house burned down due to domestic violence and drug runners stole your shit and the cops didnt do a damn thing about it. im shure you'd feel the same. ive lived in cali majority of my life but NY is where my heart lies. Cops do their jobs reguardles but to stick up for them saying its ok to take their anger out of civilians leave you clueless to how people should be treated. u can kis my arse if u disagree becasue i hold my own views which you cannot change. speak as you will about how you may think i hate law enforcment, they are great at being by the book but never on time to make a difference ij my point of view..

george bush does not care about black people" kanye west"

[MakotoS13]

i'll chalk your opinion under valid when you can form a complete sentence without raping the english language. i'm from a cop family, i know how it works. i know the crap they have to deal with and i know the crap that we take fixing up cars. the general rule outside of cali is "dont do stupid stuff and you won't be bothered". that doesn't apply to cali because their laws advocate the harrassment of the public. it is a GOVERNMENT problem not a COP problem.

im not making excuses for anyone, the fact is that cops have feelings, they get tired, and they have bad days just like you and me. holding them to some superman standard while expecting them to let you off on all sorts of crap at your convenience is both arrogant and retarded.

so you can eat it cause i don't kiss arse, sally.

LOL. yeah, cops and law enforcement make no difference at all... gimme a break. if there were no morons street racing and killing people and all this ridiculous shit that happened with cars and racing, there wouldnt be such a problem. back when my dad and his buddies would street race the cops wouldnt care, but now its a different thing, there's huge crowds and retarded people and people getting killed. whenever people get hurt/killed that tends to bring about profiling, whether it be racial or whatever. take it as you will, some cops suck, most are generally nice guys like any normal people, but they have a job to do and rules to follow. police can only be as nice as their boss and their bosses' boss allows them to be, which all are affected by the laws of that state.

as a general rule, if you don't do anything wrong/have anything wrong with your car, you'll be fine. if you're pollite when pulled over you will get in less trouble too. its common sense. its not like people in Cali dont know they're breaking the law when they swap motors or put an exhaust on a car, so why are you so mad about it? yeah it sucks, but you're breaking the law and you know it.

Kanye West is a fucking moron. police are a good thing and they do a lot more than you think mr. "i hate cops cuz they hate blacks".

what more probable cause does he need? that exhaust is illegal,which gives him the right to pull you over and ticket you, which is his JOB. some cops are dicks, but there isnt anything you can do, you just gotta deal with it.

[jOeHaCk98]

exhausts arent illegal if they are catbacks. Think of it this way, If that statement were true, then every muffler shop in california that does a custom catback would be breaking the law.

[chlatboy]

tickets are the best way to make money for teh government so why would they stop that. Arresting rapest or criminals wont get you money, but giving tickets to civilians will. So if you obey the law and dont do stupid shit you wouldnt have to worry about it.

[Jcb890]

exhausts arent illegal if they are catbacks. Think of it this way, If that statement were true, then every muffler shop in california that does a custom catback would be breaking the law.

you might want to check that out. it is technically CARB legal or w/e, but according to some states, any modification of exhaust to anything louder than stock is illegal.

[JaeTea]

There's alot of homophobic, whining bitches on this board..how ironic. :jerkit:

And ThatGuy's right, most of the people on Zilvia think CA is the only state in existance.

[TheSquidd]

What I learned today:

1. Gay people only live in San Francisco. Thus making the entire coastline gay.

2. Doing something illegal isn't probable cause to be pulled over by a police officer.

3. It's all Honda's fault for laws against modifications.

4. kanye west is retarded.

5. I just wasted my lunch break and I'll never get it back.

A. You're wrong. You modified your car, and you should know the consequences. You're a moron for not knowing that, it is exactly your type that has brought the law down on modification. It isn't Honda, it isn't THE MAN, it isn't cops, it's morons like you.

B. I can't believe you quoted Kanye West, did you see that video clip? That guy was practically shaking and crying as he blabbered that crap out. Obviously he had no confidence in what he said and to quote someone as moronic as that well... that just reflects upon you.

C. You don't like California, move out or do something to change it! Get the hell off my freeways, there's enough traffic as it is without you on it. Because if all you're going to do is whine and complain on a forum, you're not helping anyone. Write your senator or the govenator if you're really so adimant about this, because that is where the solution lies.

D. Do you know how many morons like you a police officer has to pull over in a day, giving him crap about how legal their exhaust is or completely disrespecting them? I bet most of those guys start their day upbeat and cordial, but by the 3rd or 4th idiot they talk to, they're ready to beat the crap out of anyone. And rightfully so.

E. The cop didn't pull you over, he simply followed you to your house, lucky you. Close call. I wish the police were so easy on me! I've never had a cop just follow me home, I get pulled over constantly, but I don't complain because I knew the consequences for modifying the car beforehand.

F. is for Flower.

Quit your crying. :cry:

i'll chalk your opinion under valid when you can form a complete sentence without raping the english language. i'm from a cop family, i know how it works. i know the crap they have to deal with and i know the crap that we take fixing up cars. the general rule outside of cali is "dont do stupid stuff and you won't be bothered". that doesn't apply to cali because their laws advocate the harrassment of the public. it is a GOVERNMENT problem not a COP problem.

im not making excuses for anyone, the fact is that cops have feelings, they get tired, and they have bad days just like you and me. holding them to some superman standard while expecting them to let you off on all sorts of crap at your convenience is both arrogant and retarded.

so you can eat it cause i don't kiss arse, sally.

so go sell your 240, get off zilvia and continue to keep the family tradition and become a cop. 100% of us zilvian 240 owners cars are illegal. so what are we supose to do? drive bone stock ass cars all day wil silly rally ride height? where is the fun in that? im here to live..not live by the book day to day.. thats lame...



jOeHaCk98 exhausts arent illegal if they are catbacks. Think of it this way, If that statement were true, then every muffler shop in california that does a custom catback would be breaking the law.


so i guess they do, becasue i and pl;enty o thers in cali have gotten them before.

what more probable cause does he need? that exhaust is illegal,which gives him the right to pull you over and ticket you, which is his JOB. some cops are dicks, but there isnt anything you can do, you just gotta deal with it.


i have dealt with it, thats why i now have an rsr exmag quiet little thing instead of an isntanely large fart can.:)

LOL. yeah, cops and law enforcement make no difference at all... gimme a break. if there were no morons street racing and killing people and all this ridiculous shit that happened with cars and racing, there wouldnt be such a problem. back when my dad and his buddies would street race the cops wouldnt care, but now its a different thing, there's huge crowds and retarded people and people getting killed. whenever people get hurt/killed that tends to bring about profiling, whether it be racial or whatever. take it as you will, some cops suck, most are generally nice guys like any normal people, but they have a job to do and rules to follow. police can only be as nice as their boss and their bosses' boss allows them to be, which all are affected by the laws of that state.

as a general rule, if you don't do anything wrong/have anything wrong with your car, you'll be fine. if you're pollite when pulled over you will get in less trouble too. its common sense. its not like people in Cali dont know they're breaking the law when they swap motors or put an exhaust on a car, so why are you so mad about it? yeah it sucks, but you're breaking the law and you know it.

Kanye West is a fucking moron. police are a good thing and they do a lot more than you think mr. "i hate cops cuz they hate blacks".

**lets stop talking about cali and puting it in every sentence like we are the only ones this is hapening to. I never said it was JUST cali but since this is where its hapening for me thats where i claim to have this problem.. and its not even CALIFORNIA, its just its major cities where they think its necisary to crack down on every import driven on the streets. you can voice your opinion as a majority as you wish, and i will express mine as a minority live i have. we live 2 compleetly different lives so lets not act like we know whats really going on. i wont pretend to act like i know what you do and how you go about doing it, so show me the same respect and dont assume that i am complaining about rules and regualtions because i am a colored male. i simply stated it becasue thats how i feel, not becasue that is WHAT IS REALLY going on. Ill change my views when i see changes in history but till then my view is simply here as ive stated.

You have gay emissions, gay gun laws. And you host the gay capital of the world. I mean, homosexuals move there because they are accepted.

There is a difference. Its different if i say "LA is a mecca of hommosexual migration"

or ifi just say "LA is full of fags". See??

Its not what you say its how you say it.

Uh, my car isn't illegal (although it's very lightly modded). Hell, in some states, swaps aren't even illegal. Plenty of us just don't have to worry about the police because we live in states where this stuff just isn't against the law. I'm not in the boonies or anything either, I'm right smack in DC Metro, Fairfax & Montgomery County. I don't even KNOW anyone who's ever gotten a citation for any physical part on their car, just actual moving violations.

I bet close to 100% are illegal in California, but not everyone lives in California.

I used to own a WRX that I drove around EVERY DAY with NO cats on in suburban Montgomery County. I got pulled over plenty of times for other stuff, and you can SMELL a de-catted EJ20T, and I never once had a cop even mention it. Nobody cares!

EDIT: I'm well aware that a de-catted WRX is illegal in all 50 states, but my point is that 'round here, they don't even look at it. You just take it back to stock for inspection/emissions and run what ya brung the rest of the time.

Poor fuckers? We live on the west coast because we aren't poor. :)

Snow and the beach an hour away from eachother. Some of the hottest girls, West coast has it all :) Oh, great weather.

DAMN SKIPPY! i know my location says annapolis, maryland, but thats just cause im here for college. dont forget, california has the most valuable real estate, the 5th largest economy in the world, produces upwards of 20% of americas food, has the most optimum weather conditions in america, and has a universally envied culture. not to mention the cars in california are RIDICULOUS. i was home for one week over spring break and i saw more clean sport compacts and exotic sports cars than i have in MONTHS of living on the east coast. -jack

[chlatboy]

+ 1 for Cali

and + 1 for stock cars!!!

I have got to agree man. I used to live in Marietta, Georgia for 2 years of high school and everything you said is true. For instance, Mercedes' and BMW's are wildly abundant in California, whereas in Georgia, if there was one that I would see, it would usually be a mid 1990's econo-class.

Meanwhile, I seriously think that your exhaust has nothing to do with it. I think it is the "import car" enthusiast's preconcieved complexion. To me man, everyone I meet in California who is into this car thing is anal-faced. Shit, it seems that everyone into this thing is anal.

Now, perhaps the loudest thing in the world that is allowed on the streets is the 996 GT2. My friend lives between Los Alamitos and San Juan Capistrano and he says he has never been pulled over even once for his exhaust. I am also actually pretty sure that the GT2 is way above 100 decibels. It REALLY farts its way along.
