I don't get tickets (unless its a Trooper- they'd give their mother a ticket)

When I was younger- I got pulled over in my new car. Bought it in Georgia. At the time- Georgia did not issue temp tags. They put a paper tag with the dealers name on it. Well that didn't go over to well in Florida. They thought the car was stolen and conducted a Felony stop (guns drawn) on me and my wife. Had fun explaining that.

Sounds like what will happen to you when you drive a hot Benz in the Philippines nowadays. Kidnapping and car jacking is the name of the game! Wheeee...... Wild, Wild East!

Ah yes, I had the felony stop done too, no guns drawn but it was annoying. Had the CA dealer tags outside of CA.
