i have to say i live in a college town so people picking is quit the normal thing here so i dont get pulled over for that i get pulled over for something bogus while i am hunting for cans not like ripping open bags or taking from green bin type most are left for us to pick up were i live. they usually just pull me over every 5-6 weeks or sometimes more for general excuses just on the off chance i am drunk or worse i guess and now they know my car enough its more like a game for them to do so. whats funny is now that i have something actually wrong with my car which my muffler is broke and loud it has been like bug spray i guess but more to the point really. cops in general can do what they want to unless you have video or good money to sue i do not myself because i do not want it to get worse and get beat up or something next time more affraid since i have my mom with me and we have some fun family time until they pull us over anyway i can not say or do much cause they just always let me go. my mom has a pace maker and has very hard time breathing when she is worked up so i cant do much cause if they pull her to hard or worse beat her cause she will talk back if pushed i dont want her to die so my advice for you is do want they want pay tickets smile be nice and take it cause they are the law and make them as they go to suit there needs not all but alot do anyway there are nice cops out there so find them and get them on your side thats what i do and just go along with the rest cause it can always get worse
