I'm out. Working overtime at the UMD / Michigan game in College Park. Yall enjoy your weekend. Unfortunately I will be working all weekend cause I also have the Skins game at Fed Ex on Sunday. Ugggg.

dude, you get to work 2 cool azz sport events... im jealous.

Dude, I got a question for ya, I got pulled over last night by montgomery county in silver spring for a clear (definitely NOT tinted) license plate cover, are they illegal in the state of maryland?

I know the tinted ones are illegal, but clear ones.. wtf?

No ticket.

probable cause to check out what a black guy was doing in that neighborhood most likely.

90% of traffic stops are for dumb non-legit reasons but just probable cause to find somethign actually illegal.

my friend says over 50% of his DUI stops come from something like a brake light, license plate cover, etc...

yeah.. I think you're right.. and I was with my lady, I had the top down, dude, we literally picked up chinese food take out, and I happened to be the guy stopped at the light and the officer pulled up right behind me.. I know he was running my tags.. which I have no problem with.. I was just shocked I had got pulled.

it's nothing out of the ordinary really. bored cop + black guy = pulled over. just be happy you arent named Rodney :stirthepot:

:bowrofl:

yeah, thank goodness for that... he was nice, and very professional.

surprisingly when some dbag rookie cop tried lying to get me for "running a red light" never said one word about my exhaust lol

i took him to court. not guilty. he's no longer a cop in my town. :tiphat:

Yeah this officer looked like he was in 20s, Im just glad i didnt get a ticket.

One. One cool sporting event and one event at FedEx Field.

Yes, it is illegal to use even a clear license plate cover in Maryland.

:icon17:

yea we have gay laws about ours too.

i got pilled over once when driving my grandfathers car after detailing it. it was because his dale earnhardt license plate holder just one that goes around the edges was too close to covering the registration sticker.

Here you go sir. Attachment 95732

There are alot of stupid laws but it helps with reasonable suspicion and probable cause to catch the bigger fish. If you ain't riding dirty there's nothing to worry about. Just be nice and say thank you. If the officer gives you a ticket and you aren't dirty than he's just an ***.
