This morning 8:00 am. Nice day, temp. already 63, going to work with my MKVI, listening favorite morning show...
Then Police siren next to my car. State Troper showing his hand and asking me "Pull over !!"
I was kinda surprised because I was driving under speed limit (because of the rush hour traffic)
Me : How can I help you officer?
State Troper : Camera is in recording..
Me: Ok!
ST: Licence and registration
Me: Here is my license, I just ordered new plate online, waiting for new plate and registration
ST: Ok. (Then he goes his car, then comes back)
ST: I couldnt read your plate.
Me: Why?
ST: You have dark cover on it (Which is partially true but not too dark, its perfectly visible)
Me: I am sorry, I will remove it
ST: Nice car. What year it is?
Me: 2011
ST: Your lights illegal!!!!
Me: Which one?
ST: Taillights (He is talking about dark cherry ones (Oem LED))
Me: Its not aftermarket, its OEM VW DOT Approved lights
ST: You have to get red ones!!
Me: Ok
ST: (Goes front of my car) Your bumper turn signal lights illegal also (talking about dark smoked ones)
Me: Sir, those are not turning signal lights, they are like city lights, most of the cars except europeans doesnt even come with those. Look at your car (I am showing his Police Car) you dont have those. Why dont you write yourself a ticket then...
ST: No, It has to be red!!!
Me: (Smiling sarcastic way) Sir, original ones was amber color...
ST: Amber is ok. (then he went back his car again)
ST: Look, I dont wanna right you 3 tickets cost between $300 to $400
Me: For what???
ST: Illegal taillights, bumper lights and licence plate cover. I will give you one $30 ticket
Me: If one violation is $30, how did you came up with $300-$400 then. 3 violation makes $90???
ST: You are not gonna get points, just pay $30
Me: Ok, thx
Just before he leaves,
ST: By the way, dark bumper lights looks cool.
Me: #$%@*&...
What would you guys do similar situation???????
