Either that or they were:
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?

 

True just about everywhere - pretty well defined by the supreme court...

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...

 

Well? any problems with it? How much was it if you don't mind me asking.

And in response to another email above... Here in Colorado an officer can sight you for speeding and other traffic violations regardless of what juristiction he/she is in.

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.

My hubby already got a speeding ticket with our 05 Mustang. Didn't tell me until the day he had to go to court after work to pay the fine! [:@]

 

Hmmm...cops never seem to cut my any slack. Fortunately, I've been keeping things cool since I got the GT.

One cop did ask me how much I payed for the car though.

 

Oh, OK I see what you're saying. Usually they throw in the mandatory "Don't forget to slow it down" parting shot as they're walking off too [8D]



LOL! Amen to that! I usually drive the speed limit or maybe 2 or 3 over, but sometimes I speed up just out of fear of getting rearended by the speeding masses! The daily drive is pure insanity sometimes. You'd think people's lives hinged on getting to work 2 or 3 minutes earlier.

 

You should know that in the United States, all police are given their charters by the state constitution in which they reside. This includes city, county, and state troopers. Any cop from any principality has jurisdiction anywhere in their home state. If the cop from the next town over didn't pull you over, it was only because he didn't want to, not because he was out of his jurisdiction.
