So I was out riding last night and seen a cop abruptly jump in my lane and pulled me over.
Ok I was driving with cruise on doing the speed limit ,so what.
The guy comes up to my window like he was pissed saying you can't have tv's in front of the driver.
And he's talking about my roof one.
So I say do you want me to shut it off.
he says gimmie lic/reg. Mind you my whole interiors glowing red and 3 tvs are blazzing.
he's flapping to get a rise out of me.
The wife chimes in and says what about this tv,what about that tv.
The guys getting irritated and its so funny.
I put my licence in his hand,now he says only if the monitors have gps its fine up front.
So I said,O it has everything dvd/nav and the screen in the roof is the "rear view camera"
He looked at me funny turn to walk back to his car(you know) to run info.
He made it half way back to his car turned around and gave me back my license.
And said be sure to have a good night sir..mam.
It was so funny.
I think he knew he was being a pecker head and thought I was probally taping him or something.
still joking with the wife about it today.

 

you can get a ticket for playing tv/dvd on an in dash screen. For my alpine I had to install a part to bypass the parking brake so i can watch dvd's while driving. If I have it on I just keep an eye out for cops pulling behind me then shut it off or close the screen. Easier to spot at night cause ppl can see it reflect off the glass. Havn't gotten pulled over for it yet in over 6 years but im carefull and dont have lights everywhere.

 

why is watching movies and driving a necessity?

 

#1 - Hes right about the TVs.
#2 - Next time you get pulled over tell the wife to shut the hell up.

 

O a ticket was going threw my mind at first.
I was telling her to shut up in my mind.
As soon as it was over it was funny.
And would've ruined the fun out of the situations if I bicthed her out.
I try to be layed back.

 

It's not it's just pimp'n.
My son watches thomas the train.
I watch more music vids.

Yup let the story be told .When my son is in my car
I'm sure to be roll'n some thomas s#$@

 

I dont really watch movies when driving. More for passengers or I turn it on when waiting in drive thru's etc.

 

I look at it between lights.
Not while driving.

 

I can honestly say that I have never watched anything on my radio other then the navi.

We have enough distractions while driving, why add another?

 

How can you wartch tv up front while driving! You cant do the in NYC youll get hit by a cab! lol

 

lol ok... if ur in bad TRAFFIC the I guess you could say it's a lifesaver, which does happen,.... unfortunately

as long as it doesn't cause an accident, can't really be pointing fingers

 

Regardless of why you got pulled over, I gotta say it's always a bit lol-ish when cops act like dickheads. I had a spotless driving record up until last year, and the cop that gave me my first speeding ticket said "You seem to have a clean record... but then again I didn't look at it"

I "seem" to have a clean record? but you didn't look at it? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Just obvious he was trying to be a hardass when he had nothing on me.... except the speeding, of course. lol.

 

Thats like when Fries says "You seem to be a chick, but I havent checked for a bulge".

 

Ive never been pulled over and in everyone of my cars (besides the new one) ive had a indash and ive had cops behind me, beside me and nothing has happened...Maybe you caused some attention to yourself?

Also its best to not give lip to a cop, be as nice as possible. Your wife should of prob stayed quiet.

In toronto is $500.00 if you get caught using a cell phone, just imagine a DVD player being on.

 

One of his tvs is in front of the rear view mirror.

 

^

WHAT? Surprised you didnt get a ticket for that one atleast.

But you dont need a rear view mirror...alot of work trucks dont have them

 

+1

 

In for pics of these TV's...and while your at it , post a pic of your wife

 

Probably because you're a douchebag and turn on 5 TV's driving around all the time attracting attention when max you need is 1 in-dash that could perform any function necessary.

 

Old pic.

I'm far from ashamed from my girl.But,pics ??????
Nah can't happen.

 

^

 

It depends on the state, but most of the time if the car was equipped with a mirror from the factory, it must have that mirror in place at all times.

 

Cooooool. :|


ANd next time lie with a picture of your g/f you wont look like you have a horse at home.


Whats with the red thing in the vent?

 

How do you take pics at night to see tv,led,neon light at night ?
I go take one from his veiw.

 

he justed wasted his own time

 

those tvs are overkill imo. you should remove your airbag and get a tv custom built in there too.

 

Put some TVs in the bumper so you can watch movies when you do oil changes!

 

with a camera.

 

^

He probably WTF'd at the double wing then spotted the TV's after.

 

oh shit .

 

well at least hes keeping the theme going the his interior matchs his exterior.

 

I don't blame the cop for pulling you over.

 

that moron cop was just scrambled to meet his monthly ticket writing quota.

 

how was he a moron in that situation?

 

TL_Captain has never seen that obomination of a car the OP "modified" with such quality parts.

 

He was a moron for not impounding that abomination of a CL.

 

The downhill slide begins....

 

Jesus. I probably would have stopped you too. That is excessive and a huge distraction.

 

oooo my turn... um... something clever... um.... uh......





how about just plain

 

just a little distracting... i'm suprised that he didn't want to write you a ticket.
especially given the way your wife was acting
and as far as the other people commenting on how distracting having a tv is, it can be... but with most people it won't be
i had a jvc video deck in my car with tons of music videos, after the first day i got used to it, and only glanced at it at times when it was fine to do so, stuck in traffic etc...
