I think you guys are misunderstanding my statement here... It seems as if things are one extreme or the other on here, and that's just not the case. There is a grey area. I will NOT approach a car with an asshole attitude for something that at the end of the day is a traffic cite. I get the attitude when someone endangers someone else, or myself (That p!sses me off), or gets an attitude with me. I do NOT get paid enough to get hurt. I am actually very nice to the people I stop or deal with until they give me reason not to be. I do not take my job for granted, but I also do not take it too seriously either. I actually tend to joke with more people than not. The ones that cry are usually already crying before I even get up to the car because they got pulled over and are scared sh!tless.
Ginseng - I'm not sure about the laws where you live, but the rule of thumb for us here (and yes we can cite for anything less) is a car length per 10MPH. I'm not saying it's commonly used, and it generally will NOT be used as a stand alone charge, but we can do so. It's kind of a chickensh!t charge if you ask me.
ntreftz - Good luck in the academy, and you have extremely valid points.
Update on the UPS situation, Boycott in full effect, and as of right now, they have the package, and headlight "for inspection." We shall see. On a side note, I do want to add that Classy is keeping it classy through all of this. The guy has a hell of a business ethic, and is doing everything possible to make this right. If anyone was, is, or has considered getting retro's, I HIGHLY recommend him. Good prices, and he backs his sh!t.
