Photoshoot & BCM vs State patrol pix

[Heat Seeker WS6]

Joe, Ryan, Bob & I lined our cars up for some pics before heading back to Milwaukee.
























Holy Crap! Alteeeeeeezas!









AND THEN.......



We're about 1/4 mile from our onramp to 90 and we're driving speed limit and NOT screwing around.......


State patrol got behind Joe & I and put his lights on. Him & I pulled over on a side street and the rest of our group pulled into a lot nearby to see what was going on.
Cop came to me and asked to see my side windows for tint & also if my exhaust was stock & what brand muffler I had. From there it was all downhill as he asked us to join the others in the lot they were sitting in.

With all our cars lined up, he went car to car asking if we had cats & other 'legal' stuff. Bob got the 3rd degree on his rear tires & I got my tinted 'metered'.

In the end about 45 minutes later we all got warnings for exhausts being too loud, I got window tint warning (Im too dark), Bob got Tire warning (lol @ drag radials), Joe & Ry got no-cat tickets I believe- the rest will chime in with more details. We did absolutely nothing to get pulled over and he was nit-picking at the cars looking for stuff.. OR waiting for us to flip out so he could go to town on us? Total BS in my opinion
Bob's car, being the newest and most 'stock' got the brunt of the cop's flack. BUT the cop did joke around with us & let us take pics of the ordeal.





















Our warnings & tix

Congrats.

[Breecher_7]

Thats ******* gay.......

Joking with you or not, that cop was either a asshole, or very bored.

[slickwilly]

Psh, weak.

And wtf, since when are drag radials a ticketable offence? I thought the whole idea behind them was to be as sticky as possible while still being legal.

[Reverend Cooper]

i bet both

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

Bummer

[Flicktitty]

nice pics.

but if those D/R's are DRAG RADIALS THE ARE LEGAL!

[michelle]

They still have to abide by the 2/32" rule. But that was one picky State Trooper, but expected in that area during that event.

[GTSLOW]

What a piece of ****.

[MoCkiN U]

so wait. you guys pull over and the others stop out of courtesy to you guys to stay together in the cruise home and the cop lumps all of you together just because they stopped too. WTF DUDE!!! Thats shit right there.

The whole story is crap but to go after the other guys who stopped away from you is just crap

[STANMAN]

First he told me they were not legal at all, then when I told him that they were DRAG RADIALS, not slicks, out came the tread depth checker. 1/32, legal is 2/32, so I didn't just get a warning, I got cited. $160, just like Joe and Ry for their lack of cats. The cop was "talking" nice and cool, but he was a grade "A" douche in my book. The cops were all salty because it rained Saturday night, so they couldn't get the big tickets going, so instead they nickeled and dimed eveyone as they tried to escape town. I mean I would BET that DR's are barely 2/32 when they get delivered, my DR's are only a year old, I don't do burnouts, ever, they are Nittos, which wear the best, I mean when he handed me the ticket I was like "REALLY"?????? Then he was asking "is the car supercharged?", to which I said "no", and he then asked "how much horsepower", and I told him "to much for the tires apperantly". By then I was PISSED and not in the mood for talking. It's shite like this that makes me not want to go next year. By the time we left (no more than 2 minutes after Captain Sausage ticketed all us, no lie), he already had a 4th gen Camaro pulled over. Douche.

You are exactly right you did nothing at all. Oh wait. You all broke the law. No cats is a huge deal, you are lucky you didn't get much worse for that. Everyone knows that tinted windows are illegal also. Why do people bit$h so much when they know their cars are illegal? You are lucky they didn't nail you for not having a front plate also. That is also illegal in WI. I must have missed the part where the cop was the a$$hole for doing his job???

GDIAF. I hope you get a ticket every time you go 1 mile over the speed limit sausage, lets see if you don't *****. I mean tire tread depth?? REALLY??? And John is the only person who DIDN'T get a ticket, so his illegal tint apperantly wasn't to illegal. And I didn't say he was being an a$$hole, he was polite and tried to be cool about it. I still think it was petty and he was being a douche. They have cops from as far away as Madison up there for this show, they all have to get paid somehow I guess, and if anyone tries to convince me ANY differently about us getting pulled over, they are in la-la land. I mean these are not "fix it" tickets, they are citations. Cop even told us "you don't have to fix anything, you just have to pay the fine". So yeah, he wasn't out to save the world from greenhouse gasses, he was just trying to make up for the lack of the high dollar burn out/racing tickets they couldn't issue Saturday night.

again, quoted for truth. that's their job dude.

[STANMAN]

Yep, and for the burnouts/drag racing you kind of take what's coming to you if you get caught, but this was just some BS. We were not even accelerating heavily, we weren't revving, we were just driving normally and this guy pulls John over, and motioned for Joe to also pull over. They pull over on a frontage road. Ry and I pull into a hotel parking lot to see what was up. We were out of our cars, our cars weren't running, and the cop just pulls them into the lot also and tickets us all. I mean I would BET that isn't legal. I will wait for Twigbert to chime in. To me it's not the money, I saved that much by not cruising Saturday night, lol, it's more the pettiness of it. I mean 99.9% of the cars up there would be more illegal than mine. When it's a huge show like this, you expect the cops to look away on some "major" stuff some of the time, and this whole situation was just petty beyond belief.

[MoCkiN U]

To ticket cars in a parking lot he didnt pull over is crap to me. There is a point to doing a job succesfully and nit picking the shit out of someone as it appears he is doing here.

[GRAMPS SS]

so the COOP didn't get a ticket this year....dammmmm....

sorry to hear about you guys....that is BS....just to pull ya over is profiling...you had a car that LOOKED fast and he pulled ya over....1980 i gota ticket at the street machine nationals in madison..no cat on the camaro...fine was more then what you got....

in the end...he was doing his job....not the right way...but still...doing his job....

[u_say_go]

bob, i totally agree with you, it's BS that he issued tickets for minor stuff and issuing tickets to you guys who were parked in the lot- i'll talk to my brother about this and see what he says; he's a Wisconsin state patrol trained Kenosha PD officer.
I really dont get the whole ticketing guys for bogus infractions. My old man has been rolling the t-bucket down hwy 100 from layton to greenfield on wednesday nights for the past 8 years and has never even been looked at by those jagrag cops. No cats, no mufflers, no bumpers, no fenders, no front plate, hell...no operating doors or windows! meanwhile, guys are getting tickets for window tint.
bummer that your weekend was fouled up by a ghey cop.
