My question involves vehicle maintenance laws for the State of: CALIFORNIA
Interestingly enuff. I got pulled over for being profiled. Here goes:
The officer that pulled me over was on the opposite traffic of a major thoroughway in Elk Grove, CA (January 28th, clear day, about 10:30ish) heading to Salinas. I actually saw the moto-officer give me a once over on the other side traffic. He actually had to go about 1/8 mile to make a U-turn due to the fact that there is an island. I looked in my rear view a minute later and there are the red and blues..... Yes.. finally I've been waiting...
Anyways, I was neither speeding, because I don't speed on this particular road since I know it's a good trap. And I'm not in a hurry.
So he pulls me over because my car was too low, proceeds to measure to the 'headlight filament' (light source, according to the code). In reality, I think he gave me this ticket because of the fact that he didn't find anything wrong with me.
Given:
1994 honda accord, with stock rims
lowered approx 1.5 inches (unmodified eibach lowering springs)
Ha!!!! Can u say profiled. Given I am a Filipino, but I'm also in my mid 30s... Shame what I have to go through, just to drive 4 hours to do a job.. And a cop wastes my time with a 'headlight too low' ticket....
I understand that Elk Grove has diminished in the past few years, what with all the Asian related crimes and all that... But for me, I have no respect for this particular police officer. And being I'm a loud mouth and all, (not when I was getting pulled over), I will make a statement to all agencies, council persons, any one that can really bring about TRUE JUSTICE.
I guess the POLICE officer was just doing his job. And I guess part of that job is to profile for Asian people that have lowered Japanese cars that are going on or below the speed limit.
My question is, IS THIS A FIX IT TICKET??
He didn't mention a,b,c or anything else on the ticket....
Nor did he check I (infraction) or M(misdeamor).
I'm lost
