My first encounter with po-po
And it was about my "reverse" tail lights. He pulled me over and said that my reverse lights were always on, even as I was moving forward, but it was really just the small lights that have the light red lens instead of the super red lens.
Booooo. He let me go without a ticket [granted he was a University police officer], but that was just interesting to get pulled over for.
10:30pm in Sacramento
Officer: "So where are you coming from?"
Friend: "Uh... Safeway?"
Officer: "Oh. Have you been drinking?"
Me: ".... No...."
Oh po-po, you make me laugh.

If I'm reading this right your inner lenses are extremely faded. They're not supposed to be like that.... they're supposed to be the same color as the red outer lens.
Should replace 'em or spray them with some red lens paint.

See most people do not know the law and the police count on that to get what they want. They can pull you over for a faded tail light but they can not search your car. Thats why they ask you if they can search. most people say yes because they have nothing to hide or they are embaresed becaused they are pulled over and everyone is watching. I tell them NO, tell me what cause do you have to search for? Most of them turn stupid and let you go and the rest try and make up some fake law to get over. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND THE LAW.

Orly? I didn't know because I had seen it on other cars before. Odd, but okay. Would it be better/easier to 1) replace the lens 2) replace the bulb [so it's red] or 3) spray it

To think that you're the first person to read a law on the internet and you're 'teaching the officer a lesson' is a waste of your time.

Never answer LEO's questions. Where are you coming from does not get an answer other than what is the purpose of my detention. The only answer I'm am required to answer in my state is my legal name. FTP

This cop probably just had good intentions, most likely thought there was something wrong, on the other hand some cops are complete douche bags. I was driving a completely stock rx350 and the cop tried to give me a ticket for stock tints and stock hid headlights, the ones that came from the factory. Just because i was a young kid driving home at 3 am, mind you when he pulled me over, he had no reason, no swerving, speeding, eratic driving, or loud music, just the lights and windows
