Cops out here are nuts - all they care about is pulling over cars.
Someone's house could be getting robbed but the cops are more interested in pulling that ride over with the Bad Brains sticker on it.....
Never seen a car get siezed for flying a sign - but I have seen a car get taken because it's plate was run [the car happened to be parked in a shopping center lot] because it happened to be next to where the police were doing something else.
I have no idea why the cops decided to run it's plate, but they did - and the next thing I knew, a flatbed truck took it away.
Saw that while doing a boot drive a number of years ago.
Poor bastard probably had no insurance or something...............
I was a volunteer fireman for 12 years.
That allowed me to have a police scanner in my ride.
I heard and seen all kinds of bad stuff.
Believe me, the cops out here do what they want.
If they decide for whatever reason they want to run your plate, that's what they are going to do.
If they decide they don't like you then your getting searched.
I think the girl was concerned about her not so legal ride being taken because it was not legal, and she did not want any attention drawn her way.
I can't blame her for that.
