Well I almost made it 2 years with the Fit..... after 40,000 miles I got popped speeding yesterday on Alicia Pkwy North heading towards the 5 fwy. I was in the middle lane and I saw Mr. motor officer hiding out at Cousteau St., (I should have known, they like to hide there) but it was too late. I pulled over to Target- my son and his 2 friends couldn't believe that I was getting pulled over. They all said my speedo said 50 when they looked at it. Cop claimed he got me at 62 in a 45. I said funny my detector didn't go off and he said it was laser, besides detectors are illegal. I said not unless someone recently changed the law, they are not. He replied that Laser Detectors are illegal....I said nothing even though I know better (any Detectors legal-laser jammers illegal) Other than that, I was really nice, had all my papers in order. I was hoping he wouldn't write up my no front plate (he didn't). I should have made a scene about having only 85 hp and four people going uphill, or about confusing me with the other SSM Fit right in front of me before the fwy, but I just sucked it up....guess it's traffic school time again. Oh yeah, it was my 14 year old that reminded me that it was the end of the month....... I hate tickets!

I would but he only wrote me for the headlights only......I already got the ticket sign off...so time to send my $10 check......

What kinda drugs did you take to make you see that? 
Hahaha.. my car got stared at by a cop once again while being parked at 7-11. As I was leaving the store building, he just stopped about 3 car lengths behind the car in front of him, which was near my parked car. Seem like he wanted to give me a speeding ticket? LOL

Violation: no front license plate / intake
Etc/Comments: well i was in arizona and i get a call in the middle of the day from my dad but that is normal, and he tells me he gets pulled over in my fit for having no license plate and then the cop circles the car and then notices my little bobble head on the hook of the car and tells my dad that street racers have that to tell each other "they want to race"...WTF?!? its a decoration on a car not a notification for racers. but then after seeing that he tells my dad to pop the hood and he sees my K&N typhoon intake and asks if its legal and then takes a picture of it and now my dad has to wait till they see if it is or not. WACK! im glad they didnt give my dad a ticket for my exhaust and suspension
Update: still waiting on the results...

that totally sucks! cops are full of crap, and your dad shouldn't have popped the hood. they can't require you to do that without a search permit.

You need to look up the Arizona Traffic Laws to make sure. They're different from the ones in California. There's a lot of cops out there who try to take advantage of people who are not certain of the law. Some cops would probably go as far as actually lying to the people.
I know for a fact in California, you can't have an object sticking out xx inches from the window, etc. I don't remember what the number is, but I know it's there somewhere in the vehicle code. I dunno about the bobblehead though.

Get a "I Support COPS" sticker
There are several Police Organizations that will send you a windshield Decal(after a minimum $10 donation) that you can put on your car that will get you out of these types of tickets. Unless your speeding like a bat outta hell. They will usually let you go. I've had one on everyone of my cars for the past 8 years and have not gotten a ticket yet.....Yes they have actually driven behind me and left me alone believe it or not....
