You'd think either you or the police would have done something rather than just pulling you over again and again.
In the UK you'd get a ticket then have your car impounded if you repeatedly ignored a simple compliance warning, and if they thought it was dangerous to other drivers, they'd probably seize it on the spot.
- neuroelectron 2y agoIt's just an excuse to pull you over. The only time I ever got a "fix-it ticket" when one I was already middle aged. They're just taking advantage of your naivety as a teenager to sniff around. Teenagers with disposable, conspicuous consumption are profiled. With no record of the reason for the stop, there's no reason to fix it. I did replace the lights, obviously but that didn't stop them from pulling over every time I went through that part of town.
