I took my front plate off Saturday morning, put it back on Saturday afternoon

ive had the same sort of luck A1C...

on three seperate occassions while in military uniform and with military ID the cops let me off with a less severe punishment or none at all...

one time i was in the car with 3 other buddies driving all the way from Ft. Bragg NC all the way up to Indianapolis, IN (we are all from there). As we were passing Indiana University we got pulled over doing about 85 in a 65. The cop took all of our ID's because he suspected drinking. When we all handed him our military ID's he was like OH, IM SORRY. He still ran us and found out that the guy driving's license had been suspended. Normally that would mean a harsh punishment or a trip down to the station. But all he did was make me drive instead and let us all go without second thoughts at all.

I'd have to say being in the military has really paid off for me in terms of speeding tickets!!

The cops in VA Beach/Norfolf suck, they LOOK for sailors/marines to bust. The other day around 6:00 AM on I-264 West, I seen maybe 12 people pulled over from exits 20 to 13.

It obviously wasn't state police those guys will ticket any and everybody... Being a military brat, and now a copper, I myself almost always give military a "free pass." Those guys will always have my respect...especially in these times

I can see it being that much (if they wanted to be dicks) since you guys have 2 cats on your car (you'll get fined per cat).

It's pretty easy to tell if they chose to get down and look under the car, or the smell itself (for instance, my Evo STINKS since I removed the cat, and produces ominous clouds of pollution from the muffler as soon as I hit 1psi).

Tony (yes, extremely ludicrous)

but most cops aren't smart enough for that right ? lol I would hope not..

I have a few friends who're running without cats, my friend with the vortech Z, another one with a vette,

but damn with my luck I'll probably get nailed with it
