cops hate me.

Cops really do hate me.
I have a 1994 F-150 Ext. Cab. Green

First time I got pulled over, was for no front licence plate.
But what happened was I went to the parking lot at work, and noticed my licence plate in the front had fallen off. I was driving home, less than 2 miles,and was going to put it on there. He pulled me over for not having it on. Got a fix it ticket and $15 fine.

6 Months Later..
The same cop pulls me over saying my windows are too tinted. What the hell! I bought this truck a year ago from my uncle who bought the truck brand new, and neither him or I touched the tint. ITS THE FACTORY TINT! Got a fix it ticket, took it to the judge, and after looking at it, they voided the ticket.

Today..
The SAME cop pulls me over again.
My licence plates are "Illegable". WTF?!?!? They are the same plates from when it was new!! Nothing wrong with them for being 13 years old!! Its a fix it ticket.. I dont know what to do!

when will the madness end?!?

When I lived in Northern Wisconsin, we had a local state trooper that was like that. He had a problem with just about everybody. I was one of them. I got home from high school one day to find him parked behind my car waiting to write me a ticket for not having a license light on my homemade bumper that I just installed. That was just one incident. The car wasn't even being driven and the fact that I wasn't done meant nothing to him. One day he had someone pulled over on the side of the highway for whatever reason. An 18 wheeler went passed him and out of courtesy moved over to the left so as not to knock him off his feet. Well, the officer jumped in his car and chased the rig down and gave him a ticket for crossing the double yellow. That trucker sent a letter in to the local paper and they published it. Word got around about the incident and a lot of trucks started riding the white line when passing a trooper pulled over hoping it was the same guy. They ended up transferring the guy out of the area and putting another story in the paper about it because they didn't want anybody to get hit. It sounds like you might have one of those bad apples. Or maybe you did something to pi$$ the guy off the first time you got pulled and he hasn't forgotten you. Either way, you're not going to be able to do much about it unless he does something that you could prove is harassment. Good luck!!

Man that sucks. I've had my license for almost 4 years now and I have NEVER once been pulled over. My brother, on the other hand, has been pulled over countless times but never gotten a ticket. I guess I'm just super lucky.

Dang! How often do they issue new plates? Fl. only has a rear plate, but a new plate is issued every 5yrs. Just corner stickers in between.
