In Los Angeles it's hit or miss. They usally pick on the rice burners and "Big Ball'n" type of vehicles, but in the Sunset Strip in Hollywood; they'll get you every time....

No, im from los angeles, or more specifically glendale, the cops here are F****, theyll pull u over for no reason just cuz ur a certain race driven a nice car, and when they realize they cnt giv u a ticket for anything, they make sum bull**** up in order to search ur car cuz they smell bud or sum stupid shet like tat and if that doesnt work, they still giv u ticket for sumtin stupid like tints, or front plate.

Amen Hovo, I hear you...I just moved from So Cal to MD and you are not kidding my friend I experienced the same freakin problem. I had a Camry and an M3 at the same time and I swear they would be on my like flies in the M and wouldnt give a crap about the camry and I tend to go speed limit most of the time. Also I would see a bimmer or Benz pulled over on I-5 on a DAILY BASIS, biased Aholes!! LAPD cops and Orange county cops are the worst in the world!

Maybe theres a better way to put on the front plate as opposed to mounting it on the front bumper. Some pple tie it up to the mesh... i dont know.. maybe someone else has better ideas.. i got 3 no front plate tickets this month, and i havnt had my front plate on for years... i think its the economy they want to milk the mercedes drivers.

OBEY THE LAW

I used to be like you when I was 18/19 years old and I had my red clk 430 in brooklyn with 5% tint all around including the WINDSHIELD. I loved the look and the fact that n one could see in but I got pulled over constantly and got tickets constantly and finally arrested for a suspended license due to unpaid tickets that I lost track of. In the long run its just better to OBEY THE LAW.

I bet the judge is disobeying the law as well. It's what they do when they're off duty that disturbs me, I have a few friends who are in law enforcement (Police and Sheriffs) and they all have blackout tint, no front plate, and running no cats. If they get pulled over, all they have to do is flash the badge and they're on their way. "Professional Courtesy" is what they call it, although it doesn't sound too professional to me.
