Depends on the mood that I'm in. Sometimes I'll turn the bass up a little and make my most gangsta face and nod my head. Most of the time I just don't really care though.

I always roll down my windows or at least open the sunroof to let in some light.
I'm not sure if tint is a secondary offense or not.
After I get the windows taken care of I'll turn the music down if it's loud.

Taunt him into a drag race.
Actually back in the day I was at a light in my '93 Eclipse and a CHP in a '00 Camaro pulled up and I looked over and revved at him and threw a wink and he just nodded back and smiled.
Seriously tho',I just take notice it's a cop and just drive normal,no reason to be nervous.

Maybe when you don't have anything illegal in or on your vehicle. I think tint is like a $200 dollar ticket and you have to remove it. Noise violations can be expensive too.

I act the same way I do when I'm next to anyone else. I don't see any reason to put on a show because I'm next to a cop. Hell, I haven't even been pulled over for at least 10 years now.

Use my turn signals more often and longer stops at stop signs.

I'll tell you all the same thing I told my 17 year old daughter who got stopped yesterday for 43 in a 25. Drive as if there is a cop driving behind you all the time, or that there is one on the next corner waiting for you. Cops are not un-human evil creatures (well maybe a few), but just doing their job. Just don't do anything to call attention to yourself like speeding, jack-rabbit start, swerving, etc.... But if you do get stopped, be courteous and polite, ...., that will always make things come out better, maybe not get you out of a ticket, but may keep him/her from trying to find other reasons to check things out a little further.

43 in a 25? Most 25mph limits are in residential areas. She must be rushing for something. Anywayz, hope she didn't get a ticket.

From the looks of things, I bet she got that reduced.

If i was the cop, i'd give her a warning considering she's only 17.

Thankfully Colorado cops aren't traffic nazis as I had illegal tint
And full 3" turbo back exhaust which wasn't on the quiet side.
But I did get plenty of speeding tix but never was my mods or tint mentioned or even the fact that I had no front plate,simply wrote me a ticket and I was on my way but I did get plenty of speed violations over 8 years but now with the 4Runner I've only gotten 2 speeding tix over 6 years and my illegal tint on my 4Runner was never mentioned.

Well, I have to be honest - she got stopped about a mile from my house, I was returning home from taking the 14 year old to his school, and I get this text from her asking me to come get her out of a ticket - ???? So, I go past the house, and find her pulled over by a local law enforcment ageny that will remain nameless. I knew the officer and pulled up beside him. Asked him how fast was she going, and he said 43 in a 25, then asked if that was my daughter. I said yes, and he agreed to change the citation to a written warning, and would leave it up to me to administer due punishment. He had already given her the ticket, so I let her cry and worry all day long about it, before I told her that she was not going to have to fork over $200 for the ticket plus whatever increase in our insurance. So, any suggestions on additional punishement? I think it literally scared the **** out of her, she was really boohooing, mascara running down her face, etc...., I really felt sorry for her.
