You know I would give you a pass Tom, just because you are an Aggie. But longhair, hippie types like Thomas would have to have all their vehicles torn apart and searched.
Just kidding Thomas
Hehe you ain't lyin! I don't know what it was, but I got ran out of Irving. Lived there for a year and no lie, I got pulled over once a week. After a while if I even SAW a cop, I would just pull over, sure enough they would whip around and turn on the lights and give me the treatment. You will never see me in Irving now LOL... I got a ticket here and there for speeding or a sticker being out, but it became kinda of a joke after a while. Once there was an officer already in the process of pulling a guy over already... had his lights on and was pulling him over for speeding... well he decides that he liked me better and slows down and moves over to pull me over instead! He let a speeder go to give me a ticket for an inspection sticker. I've save the other stories for a campfire session
Might have been my car, but STILL... You're good people tho Mark, that was years and years ago

and honestly I really DID have long hair back then, played in a rock band and drove a hot rod, I fit the profile and profiling DOES happen and it is a GOOD thing because even though I wasn't a troublemaker or into drugs or anything, most of the people who were in my scene did. Profiling is there for a reason, so anyone that complains about it really is just not wanting to get caught at what they are doing wrong, but.....
Man wouldn't my old Monte look good pulling my teardrop! !!
Sorry for the thread-jack Tom!
