legality of using a spotlight to shine cops? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

91CRXsiR · 03-19-2005, 04:59 AM

i hate it when the jerks flash me with thier damn spotlight it blinds me for a few seconds and usually they do it when im driving or worst taking a turn. Once I almost hit another car. Now i keep a million candle power flashlight in my car so if im in a bad mood and they happen to fuck w/ me i'll flash em right back. think this will land me in jail?

Fastback180 · 03-19-2005, 07:11 AM

fuck em, do it.

just don't go down like a bitch if they mess with you.

HyperTek · 03-19-2005, 10:59 AM

haha those flashlights rock!! my mom got one and that thing shines

**Phlip** · 03-19-2005, 11:04 AM

I don't think it is "technically" illegal, but I wouldn't suggest it

nismo2491 · 03-19-2005, 12:27 PM

there is probably a reason they are doing it, you are probably driving like an asshole or something. though I'm sure you'll say no they just do it for no reason whatsoever.
and I really would suggest against doing your plan, though it probably would be damn funny to watch you do it.

morpheus8486 · 03-19-2005, 01:15 PM

I say go for it. Just be sure to video tape it and post it on the boards so the rest of can get a good chuckle. That reminds me of this one video I saw a while back. Some kid decided to walk up to cop give him the finger, figuring he wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Well the kid ended up getting beat down with the nightstick. I don't know if it was fake or anything, but yeah, it probably wouldn't be in your best interest.

God, I remember that one, he is gettign the hell beat outta him while his homeboy tapes it... It starts with them both speaking on some "dude, this is gonna be so sweet" and he runs up and gives the cop the finger with BOTH hands, to IMMEDIATELY have the brakes beat off his ass, I WISH I had saved it

MakotoS13 · 03-19-2005, 02:11 PM

my family is in the HPD. you do that kinda stuff to a cop and i garuntee you they'll make your day way worse than you could have possibly imagined.

sw20>>s14 · 03-19-2005, 02:42 PM

best lube your arse and get ready for the night stick

m0rex · 03-19-2005, 04:50 PM

I hate cops here they put that spolight on you and it sucks especially the helicopter ones im scared of those when i hit up parking lots at night i usally see a helicopter going around the city at night so i guess when he sees headlights going sideways he puts the spotlight on me.

infinitexsound · 03-19-2005, 05:27 PM

i hate copes.. period havent met one that i liked.. i think theyre above the law like any politician..

mr_240sx · 03-19-2005, 05:57 PM

i would love to see you flash a cop with your flashlight!!! (even though its a bad idea to do it

)

MakotoS13 · 03-19-2005, 06:03 PM

it isn't their job to be liked. it is their job to protect your ungratefull arses even if it means spotlighting you every once in a while.

get OVER it and grow up.

**ThatGuy** · 03-19-2005, 06:21 PM

^I agree with you this time Makoto. Don't let that go to your head though.

RiversideS13 · 03-19-2005, 07:15 PM

I think they can either kill you or arrest you for shinning the light on them. Because they cannot see you and they would felt insercue, than they would take any action if they need too.

But i am guessing most likely cop will arrest you and get your cherry pop in jail for maybe like a week.

agreed 100%,

nocomedown · 03-19-2005, 11:17 PM

i say go ahead and do it, because we all know that when someone does something to us that we don't like, the best way to let them know is do the same exact thing back to them. welcome to 2nd grade.

SimpleSexy180 · 03-20-2005, 04:22 AM

i had a cop do this to me tonight. i was coming home (raining) and i took a turn to fast and lost some traction and started sliding. and the cop was sitting at a light ahead of me and he flashed the fuck out of me, but didnt do anything else after that. Its still annoying though...

its happened to me a couple of times. i mean sure if im doing something stupid then yea i understand but if im just driving and minding my own business then its annoying. it only happens though here in torrance, ca. where they flash the light at me for no reason. i was at a stoplight once behind another car and when i was crossing the intersection he flashed me. so i put my hand in front of me so i can see and when i looked ahead, the car in front of me had stopped. seeing this i braked and my car went towards the cop. he turned off the light and drove off. i get pulled over/followed by the cops a lot. ha! one time they pulled me over for just having a key in the ignition. now thats the lamest excuse i ever heard. i mean....how can they see my keys while following behind me ?

BoroBoroS13 · 03-20-2005, 10:09 AM

No one likes cops until you need them.

I would never try to piss off a cop... We all know they can bend the law a little cause they enforce it.

HyperTek · 03-20-2005, 11:15 AM

i can imagine, they trying to shoot you in protest "He was trying to attack us with a weapon of mass destruction".. Blu808 ish... hah

I'll double that.. but I want video footage of you going up to the cop, getting basically in his face, flicking him off and saying fuck the police and then you walking away and not getting arrested or the shit beat out of you.

btw what we are talking about is police harassment and is illegal

**Phlip** · 03-20-2005, 02:21 PM

^^^ I don't even like Kevin in the least little bit and I would add a hundred to see you do that shit
