I wasn't in my Mustang, but when I was stationed in San Diego, I had a 90 Cougar XR7 w/ the sc'd 3.8. It was black with tint, wheels, exhaust, ect. My girlfriend (wife now) was down there for springbreak, so we were staying in a hotel. I pull up to the back exit to escape traffic through the neighborhood behind the hotel. I'm trying to turn left, and there is a police car coming in the same direction I am trying to go. He stops in the middle of the street, and waves me out in front of him. I'm thinking, "Wow, a nice cop for once." Then he flips the lights before I'm even totally out of the parking lot. I pull over, he comes to the window, and asks for the usual. I give it to him, and ask why I was pulled over. He tells me to wait a minute, and goes to his car. 10 minutes later he comes back to the car, and tells me that he was ticketing me for window tint, and for not having a front license plate, and that he was required to scrape the tint off the front windows. I told him that the car was registered in Oklahoma, it was not illegal to tint the front windows in Oklahoma, and that we don't have front license plates. He says "Well, I don't care where your from, in California you can't drive a car that doesn't have a front license plate." So I say, "Well, sir, I can get another license plate to throw on the front, but the numbers won't match since Oklahoma only prints 1 of each different number." He finally concedes to the fact that I don't need a front license plate, but still writes me a ticket for the tint. I told him that if he scraped my tint, his station would be billed for the replacement as soon as I went to court, so he didn't. I finally get to leave. A week later my mom calls me, "Do you know where your drivers license is?"
me "It should be in my wallet, why?"
mom "I just recieved it, your insurance, and your registration in the mail from a police officer in San Diego."
The Jackass messed with me so long, I didn't even realize he still had my stuff. I called the courthouse to find out about the ticket, and they had no information for that ticket number. He realized he was a moron, and didn't turn it in.
