Why popo keep popping my hood in socal?

I thought this was pretty funny.

Why do Officers always ask to pop my hood in SoCal? - Police Forums & Law Enforcement Forums @ Officer.com

DjSquall · 04-13-2010, 06:50 AM

WOW that guy is a complete and utter moron. This made my day. Thanks for the lulz.

fullmonty · 04-13-2010, 07:30 AM

the guys an idiot

Red370 · 04-13-2010, 08:11 AM

true, but I will say this, THANK GOD I DONT LIVE IN CALIFORNIA. Cops can just ask you to pop your hood at will? not allowed to modify your engine? WTF? fuuuuuck that man.

I will say the OP is not the best at arguing his point but I won't say he's wrong. It seems to me that everyone on the site just wants to bash him for being a "ricer" even though he owns a stock vehicle that also happens to be one of the best sports cars on the market.

Seems to be a bunch of Impala loving police officers wanting to bash on a guy with an import to me.

i wouldnt go so far as to call an Evo a "Sports" car per se, more of a "performance sedan"

CBRich · 04-13-2010, 08:46 AM

Call it what you will but it destroys "sports cars" on the track. The more I read the thread the more I understand the attitude of these cops. One cop tells him to keep his modified car on the track only after he has repeatedly stated it is stock. One assumes he is under 20 years old becuase he drives a "ricer." Another actually mocks his vehicle becuase it has a big wing.

Bottom Line: A very small percentage of officers do the job because they want to help citizens by upholding the law. Most are those who want a decent paying job requiring minimal post high school education. As such most are a**holes with a chip on their shoulder.

A ton of people are going to hate on me for saying that but it's what I believe to be true. Let the flaming begin.

Yeah, this guy isn't the best at arguing his position and that makes him look like sort of a tool -- but he does make a few good points.

I think I would be pissed if I was pulled over because my car looked a certain profile not because it had gaudy things hanging off it or it had things that were dangerous on it but simply because it was essentially an import. The picture of the dudes Evo makes it look really conservative as far as they go, too.

Part of the reason you drive a car like that is because you like the look, anyway. It is bold and stands out and a lot of people like that -- you shouldn't be punished for doing that, especially if your car is stock.

And you know this because you're a cop and deal with them all the time right?

Dont make stupid assumptions because you like to base a population on a statistic.

I'm surprised it took so long to hear this. I can only base my assumption on the group of cops I know (yes, I do know quite a few police officers including my own uncle and father) or have dealt with. I will never meet every cop in the world so I must base my knowledge on the ones I have. It's as simple as that.

Of course if you only based your knowledge on the officers on the board linked above the outlook would be even worse.

id say matters where you live. i hate tickets, only love my job to watch grown men cry when they get caught doing **** they shouldnt (beating wifes, burglary, robbery ect).

i though the same before as well of the %, but its hard to see from the public perception. it is not feasible to explain why everything is done what done, and can come off as rude.

yeah, i pulled you over for window tint. u think its crap bs and i should be reducing crime. do i respond the only reason i pulled you over reallllly is b/c there are 4 shaved heads in the car, in a gangster neighborhood? no, bc its not worth it.

my little rant.....

And I thank you for performing that aspect of your job. It's the police officers that have the attitude like those posted above that truly bother me.

Here's my favorite line from the post:

"I think they keeping pulling you over in hopes of meeting a girl. It is a girls car you know.
