officer gave me a break

as i made a right on a big intersection, the car behind me pulls up right behind me and put's their siren on, at that point i knew what was going to happen, so i pulled over and the officer steps out wit his hands on his pistol which made me even more nervous. i rolled my window down and he tells me my passenger headlight is out and i tell him no way so i asked him can i step out and take a look and we both were looking at my headlight which was working fine. he was like i thought it was out when i passed u, then he ask are they stock, i tell him yes and he ask why are there so many lights, so i told him that it was the highbeam and foglights. so he was like ok your lights are really blue are those stock too, and i told him they are oem xenon headlamps and thats just how it looks. so he goes ok just let me run your license and if everything is ok ill let u go, he takes my license and gets in his patrol car for literally about 8 secs he comes back out and tells me my license is good, then he asked is that exhaust stock with a smile on his face so i told him no and he tells me that's illegal but ill cut u a break and told me to have a good night. he sure looked like a ******** but he was actually really nice. my gf told me he think the officer just wanted to check out my car, so i just wanted to share my very first experience of a cop letting me go because usually they never do. has this ever happened to any of ya?

oh yea do any of you guys know usually whats the ETA for a cop to check someone's license?

You sure he wasn't checking out your gf (if she was in the car) jk

Yeah I guess because you were probably nice about it and explained everything to him calmly.

I bet your gf headlights were straight JDM that's why the pig had to check it out.

Your foglights aren't on at the same time as your high beams unless you wired them differently are they?

Depends how the system is running, to check if you have a valid DL, well he knew before he pulled you over. To check if you had warrants, probably about 1-2 minutes depending again on the system... on a bad day 3-5 minutes absolutly tops for both.

Trying CUTTING OFF a cop while SPEEDING and he letting you go. Even though it looks like I was being a jerk, it was completely unintentional. The cop wasn't nice but mighty forgiving and understanding. I consider myself the luckiest sonofa***** that day. Frankly I learned a bigger lesson than if he'd just written me a ticket. Play hard but play it safe -- a lesson for all of us with fast sports cars. Thumbs up for the cop in Cartersville, Ga.

Dang Thomas bet you were sweating when he pulled you over! You must have done some smooth talking to get out of that!
