This is exactly my problem with this video.

Agreed and he let the officer intimidate him into violating his rights. If he wants to play that game he should expect that he might be unconstitutionally arrested. He gave in...

Yes. Why did he pull you over it not to detain you? He also need probable cause that a crime has been committed to detain you. He can't just pull you over because he want's to check your license, unless he has suspicion that you don't have one (which would be committing a crime).

I've seen a lot of these videos and usually the people who are calm about it end up being told to pass through. He did not seem very confident in what he was doing and he let the cop get to him.

That's my issue with this. Dude, just go around the damn thing and move on. You didn't have to give up any rights or get yelled at to do so.

But what was he stopped for? What was the officer's probable cause that he had committed a crime in the first place? I think that's the whole point here.

Somewhat had number three happen to me. I was, interestingly enough, passing a DUI checkpoint on the other side of a divided road. There was a motorcycle cop waiting at the next light, off to the side on an area of grass. As the light changed, I was stopped and told that I had been going a little fast, but was not…

Pretty sure this is why my friend didn't make it in law enforcement. He's a smart guy with a good sense of wrong vs. right.

I believe this is how checkpoints are "legal" in California. From my experience, you can usually just turn off before them.

Years ago, I bought my Audi at one dealer and serviced it at another. The servicing dealer removed the first dealer's frames and replaced them with their own. "Company Policy".

I have a Zoom-Zoom one on my ///M (You missed one of the "/" by the way). /S

They now have the side window stickers too!

According to a sales guy at the local Infiniti dealer, they put a front plate on a customer's car when he had asked them not to. The resolution was to swap bumpers from another car.

We don't typically have badges here (California). Except if your Lexus of Glendale or Carmax. Frames have been around as long as I can remember though.

You aren't supposed to modify the vehicle, but you certainly can.

The nice thing is that in California we have the basic speed law. If you fight your ticket the officer has to prove that your speed was unsafe for the conditions.

I was driving with my friend one time and out of nowhere, I somehow repeated that whole clip from memory. Couldn't do it again if I tried. /coolstorybro

I helped my (now ex) girlfriend move a month ago, twice, and I couldn't tell you what state was on the side of our U-Haul either time. Now I feel like I missed out.

My neighbors had a non L, like you stated a S430. It always looked a little funny to me.

I'm guessing you haven't seen one of their commercials recently.
