It's just the cops in our neighborhood that are notorious for pulling someone over for the most minor things, if you happen to catch them in a bad mood. I need to look for a Tow license plate holder just to be safe.

OP you may have someone in your community calling in complaints of speeding. Especially in a case where they are'nt normally there. I absolutely hate having to sit in one spot that "Joe Neighborly" called his city commisioner and said people are going to fast. Then you get there and people are going 5 over or 3 over the limit. And in general ( There's always the 10%) cops don't care what you drive unless you're hanging out with true rice bouncing off the limiter and attempting to drift through downtown.
Thanks for your perspective. I think one of my concerns is that some may consider the 2015/16 Nismo a bit "riced" up. I've bumped into quite a few people who gave compliments, and several have modded cars, and they still said things like, "Great work!", or "Nice Mods!", and "What car is that?". So it's quite evident that a limited number of people here are aware this is what a stock Nismo looks like.

So if that's any indication, I'm curious if officers here might get the idea mine was specifically "modded" for street competition.

Soooo I guess they'll just have to fire up the "Shocked" face when they stumble on me in a boosted 15' Nismo all riced out and such.

If you can take the cop's attention away, I'm all for it!
