Poll of the Day > I got pulled over today for expired inspection

(+) Yeah! (+)

I passed a cop legally in a narrow street with stop signs. He says he SAW the stickers.

This has never happened before. I've got half a year or so before. this time it's only from April to now, but damn.

Never thought i'd see the day

I got tagged for that once. I don't know if it is true everywhere but they are color coded here, which makes it a lot easier for them to spot even in passing.

Most cop vehicles run plates constantly so yours most likely flagged their system while driving.

I got stuck in front of a cop a few years ago on local roads for a while. I figured immediately that she was "hunting". She tailed me the whole time, clearly trying to find something to hammer me with, but I wouldn't give her even some bs like "1 mile over the speed limit".

Eventually she put her lights on and pulled me over anyway, and told me I apparently had my month and year stickers on backwards. Surprisingly after all that effort, she gave a warning instead of a ticket, but that was the best she could find fault with.

It was fucking nerve-wracking, though. Ever since then, if a cop ends up behind me and there aren't other lanes to shift to, I'll just turn down random streets to "lose" them and if they keep following, just turn into whatever business / parking lot / etc... I can find until they go the fuck away. I'm well aware from the "don't talk to the police" video that a cop can follow anybody for a while and find some obscure reason to pull them over, a veteran cop himself said so... Only way to escape it is to not let them follow you for a lengthy period of time.

I dont know about PA, but in VA inspection stickers are independent of the license plate.

Are yours color-coded the way ones are in my state? That actually makes it much easier to tell if someone is overdue at a glance from a distance.

Maybe you should just get your car inspected when you're supposed to?

You're taking "fuck the police!" way too literally

Had a cop follow me for a few miles after I left a bar. Unfortunately for them, straight-edge means I'm better than them and now they know it.

tbh, most states have too many damn inspections. It's just a moneymaker for the state.
