Yup, that's what all 3 of those Saturday's were because they were late at night like 1-3am. They aren't technically "profiling" you based on their definition of profiling (race/gender/religion) even though they absolutely are profiling you based on your vehicle. I was so pissed after the last time that after filing formal written complaints because it was happening so much in Colleyville, especially with the same officer, that I would sue them the next time it happened. Since early this year I haven't been followed or bothered by any Colleyville PD so I can only assume that after the 2nd complaint within a couple weeks and my justified threat that the word on the street was leave the dude in the RG evo alone.

msr, eagles canyon, hallett, those are roads for fast driving.
(and if you're out around 2am on any day, you're probably more likely to find trouble, or it find you) than at 8 pm or even midnight
plus, although "people" are getting smarter as time goes, unfortunately, this only applies to a small percentage of our population of morons. therefor, speed limit of 85 or people not being stupid a holes? not happening. ever

I try to be careful, I really do, but it's hard when you're going the speed of traffic with everyone else (which is 80 on Hwy 360 and 121). Now I have to be more careful because this car stands out so much.

oops lol...
i thought the discussion was still happening on it
doesn't 85 seem excessive for the majority of unaware, apathetic, slow moving texan drivers....
i wonder if the accidents will increase or decrease in that, keeping in mind the discussion of unaware drivers in slower moving cars around faster moving cars. would the higher speed mean worse accidents? or will unaware people be shocked enough that they are traveling at speed and pay attention(without driving slow). my guess is, itll be just as bad as anywhere else, like people who go 55mph on 161. but if people cant pay attention enough to read "70" on a highway, would they even notice the one that says "85?"
even people who don't know what the evo is exactly, know its subarus rival, with a fat, loud exhaust and lots of power. i would think an officer more likely pick it, than bob and debbies grey altima going 80 as well.

I just hope the cops here are better than the ones in Colorado. I got pulled over in my GG IX MR for "noise pollution" (with STOCK exhaust) and the cop asked me if my husband knew I was driving his car (I am single, it was my car). ><

They don't care too much about noise here, from what I've seen. They have far too many other "excuses" to use to pull us over.

In Colorado, loud exhaust or loud music seems like the default BS excuse to get pulled over. I went to court with documents showing my car was stock, and street legal, and the DA dropped the ticket. But I had to take time off of work to do that. I think most people would have just paid the fine, and that's what they're banking on.

Here is some interesting info as well use it how you see fit. You get a ticket and pay the fine 100% of the moeny goes to the City or County. You ask for defered; 100% of the money goes to the same places.
You ask for a JURY trial and 100% of the money goes to the state NOT the city if you lose. I generally take care of my own tickets unless they are in far off places that I dont want to go like Colleyville.
If the DA wont work with you for a fair defered ask for a jury trial and suddenly WOW they are all about giving you defered even when they didnt before.
