You know, I've heard stories like this before and I would love to know what makes police officers think it's OK to pull someone over to ask a stupid question like this. Do they think people having nothing better to do?

I had a cop pull me over the other day. I had no idea what it was for. When he got to the window he said everything was fine he just wanted to know where I had gotten my sunroof installed and if I had any problems with it.

a. really speeding...
b. going to shortly... (or were prior to seeing the cop car)
Odds are pretty good with most mustangs that it is one or the other So, I don't see a need to get the undergarments too wadded up...

Seriously, in the state of TX (and many others) you are technically under arrest when you get pulled over for anything. How do you feel about being arrested so a cop can ask you where you got your car parts?

My point was that more often (a lot more), the person was actually speeding and the cop does not bother to tell them.
I am not saying that they should pull someone over randomly to ask about parts - that is indeed an abuse of power, but people that tell those anecdotes usually neglect to include the fact they were speeding...
I don't know about TX, but I in MA that there are about 4 cars in the state that aren't speeding at any given moment and the rest of us are jerking the wheel to get around them...
P.S. the last time I drove in TX (austin), there was plenty of speeding going on there too...

No problems with the sunroof what so ever, I love it. It cost $1200 installed with a lifetime no-leak warr. and two years on the parts.
AS far as the cop pulling me over, I have no idea if I was speeding, but I prob was, almost also are. I was rather thrilled he wanted to know about my car, he had a '06 as well. I look at it this way, if he does see me again and I am speeding he might not pull me over that time.

He is not in his town jurisdiction so he can't pull me over.
