1, i got pulled over for the first time today. bitchin yea! the bummer was that it was for window tint, and i was only going about 1-2 mph over the limit. he tested the tint and it came out as 45% with a technical legal limit of 57. right on. i had a new life experience, without having to loose my lisense! (which would hav happened if i had gotten a ticket for speeding at all. or any ticket for that matter).

2nd order of business: new black dragon came in today! not much surprise here, but does anyone know where i can score a black dragon T-shirt?

 

Is that a trick question? If there is such a thing as BDA t-shirts, you would prolly get them from BDA.

 

primarily i am asking if anyone knows that they exist. i havn't seen one anywhere, but i thought there might be somewhere on the website or something that i hadn't found yet

 

I hate cops doing crap like that. I'm pretty sure there would be a noticeable difference when you're 12% below the limit. If there isn't a difference I think he should still just pull people over that have ridiculously tinted windows, if you're below the limit they shouldn't be deemed too dark by a cop.
I could understand if he pulled someone over for 80% or something like that.

 

yea i thought the same thing. you can see my face through them, so they are usually ok like that. but he was nice about it at least. my 2nd career choice is a state trooper too. mostly because i'm so sick of cops getting power hungry and turning into A-holes. i've had a few bad run-ins around here because of one of those kind. i just want to do it how i think it should be done. and that's probably what i will do when i can't pass engineering in college!

 

i have not heard of black dragon having t-shirts. would be cool. maybe call them and see.

 

at lewis we do have a good criminal justice program. i just dont know about that engineering thing. is 650 good on sat's??? i dont know those scores, i only know ACT's

 

for a single section it's pretty good. well above average. well VA state police don't care what you get your degree in, as long as you have one. so i doubt i'd be into crim justice

 

well, maybe for being just a deputy, if you want to be someone in the police though it would be different.

 

maybe. the cop i asked likes to use the example: "they don't care if you majored in basket weaving, they just want you to have a degree".

 

If you've never had a ticket before, why would you lose your license on your first offense?

 

He's a n00b to the legal system.

 

nah, it's not the noob issue, its that my insurance is already 750 or something 2x a year. so if i got a ticket at all, it goes up more, and i can't afford it. since you have to be on the insurance policy of some vehicle as long as you have your license, i would have to give mine up and sell the car to pay for everything

 

One ticket doesn't guarantee that your insurance will go up. It's excessive traffic violations / accidents that will make your payments increase.

 

my company pretty much said that it would go up if i got a ticket. i had an accident (my fault) in which i didn't even get a ticket, but insurance went up a lot anyway

 

did you report the accident to insurance? if so thats why.

 

yea i had to. i smashed in the front of some redneck batchis' truck. it broke her oil cooler and squirted everywhere lol. so insurance took care of that and is making me pay for it dearly
