Back in the days of the 2LT RS, I had a few speeding tickets, nothing big, but I learned my lesson. The police used to stop me every once in a while, and just ask where I was going, or who's car it was. I was always polite, and had no problems going on my way after they were done checking my license. Last night, 11:00 PM, driving up the road to Mac's and Petro Canada, and I pass an intersection with a police car on the left side (going straight). As soon as I am through the intersection, he puts his lights on, and turns left on a red light, to pull me over. Keep in mind, I was doing 50kph in a 50 zone. He stopped me, asked who's car this is. I told him it was mine, and he snickered. Then he asked what I had to sell to get the car...

That is when it became too much for me, so I got slightly sarcastic, and said "machine parts, why?". At this point, he asked me where I was going, and I told him I was getting gas, and some chips and a drink and going home. He took my license and insurance/ownership, and went to his car (for 7 minutes). Came back, and asked me if I knew why he stopped me. I told him that I was doing the limit, and was unsure. He told me that my car is too loud, and that he could have given me a ticket. Then, asked me "how would you like that?"

I asked him how loud the car was, and he replied "loud enough", and asked what I had done to the car. I told him it was stock, 1 week old. and I also asked him how many decibels the car was, and he told me that it was too many.

I wasnt even being loud, and this is starting to happen more often. Is there something I can do? this is my only car, and I havent done anything to it to make it loud.

Sorry for long post, and I respect police officers a lot, but am sick of their discrimination towards young people with nice cars......
