wat u all think ?? :go:

Fool, You should have left them on and asked him to take you to court

I dont have nothing against Coppers in General, However this kind of copper who makes the rules up to suit himself and think there god simply boil my P*ss.....

true but its always nice to be nice!!! id of just turned them off and said I didnt realise till he got round the corner coz otherwise he would have got ur bad ass for somethin else!

this country stinks the coppers r all **** holes 2 b honest u try findin a decent 1!!!!! they pic on us youngsters because they no we dont no the rules of wats legal and wats not and no that we all cant b bothered arguin with a so called copper cuz we think they will just do us 4 sumthing else so we r all just nice and polite i think its time to bring all the uk modders 2gether thru cruise sites and every1 gos on the biggest cruise 2 number 10 downing street and protests now that would b the best protest any1 did c!!!!!!

He could only get ya bad ass for something else if there was something else to do you for. If your car is legal then he is goosed, a top tip also is carry a video camera, you are allowed to video the police just as they are allowed to video you. That stands as evidence in a court of law.

Hi, :go:

says it all really, 1 minute there illegal all together and he wanted them ripped off and then they were just illegal if they were switched on. sounds to me like not even the police kno. Thus meaning there has been no law about it. So these stupid power freaked coppers need to watch bb and get a reality check.

Hiya

I think you shouldnt type in text speak Tazz, to hard to understand, had to read it really slow

Yeah i was thinking that myself when Aggy mentioned being pulled.

Agree with evo babe about the text talk, real difficult to translate.

Most police dont have a clue, i have inlaws that are poilice officers that dont even know what NOS is, they wouldnt know that rear lights have to have reflectors and would probs be baffled at neons.

Just got unlucky i suppose.

you should have asked him to call a traffic cop out as they are the law on the roads.

then if he said turn them of or go to court you could then say see you in court.

there is no section or code for neon lights in teh police book as of yet.

make sure your neons are not on show and that the glow is only visible. if they can see the light tubes like on yours then you do have a problem.

but hey not all coppers are bad there are some thatt are on your side you might not know it.

:go:

I got pulled about my neons and i said iv been told it is only illegal if the tube is showing, to this he replied 'well if the sun is behind a cloud can you see the light??' i was like hmmmmm shut up... but i didnt argue coz he could have done me for my tires why do they even bother pulling people over for things like this, they need to be out doing something that actual helps people like catching real criminals!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got pulled for doing 40 in a 30 and others where going much fater than me, put he skipped over that and asked about my neon, i said it was wired direct to my lights,said i can pull it out, just said to leave and do in the morning, still not done it and not been pulled since.

print off the law bit on neons from a goverment sight and then hand them it and they will soon shut up make sure everything else is 100% legal!

Thats the whole point, There isnt any law in the U.K. specifically for Neon Lights, There has not been a court case tried and tested in the United Kingdom to proove they are illegal or otherwise

The answer to this question is "No" You cannot see the sun, all you can see is the "Emmision" of the sun and NOT the sun itself [/b]

true true, am going to print that bit off about the neons too, the police office said the same to my fella,

the police have there own rules and own mind when it comes to this kind of things.

o thats another thing, the police said to us that the red neons looked like brake lights, thats y we cant have them, so wot do blue, yellow, green,. pink neons look like
??????????????????????????????

I have now been pulled twice scooby in the last week, if there really is no law why are they doing this, im now driving around without my neons on because im sick of gettin stopped and explaing the neon tube aint visible poo...

they have stipulated to me each time,, the legalities of lights are....

"The only lights coming off your car should be white at the front and red at the rear...."

ive been pulled loads of times but the funny thing is they never actually do anything to u apart from make u produce your documents which makes u think they can't do u 4 it

Okay, lets attempt to keep this as simple as possible

Yes i agree with Scooby, They can not do nothing for just the emmissions ( SO HIDE THE TUBES, AN YOUR OK ). Stand your ground as there is no law on a coloured lamp underneath your car. if there was you would fail your M.O.T , Always note there collar number aswell for harssment & false prosectution.

see ye laterz

have you said that b4 scobby to the police?

if so, wot did they say or do????

xkx

Okay, i treat people with the respect they deserve, no more, no less......

If a copper stops me and is pleasant and polite with me i would possibly reason with him/her and end up having a laugh with him/her....

However if a copper stops me and thinks that they are "God" in discuise, Well, Thats different all together. Yes i would stand my ground 100% without doubt, he could even take me to the station and attempt to place me in custody, it really wouldnt bother me at all. Its a matter of princable. I am not proud to admit that i have been put in custody several times for arguing the point with a police officer who thought they were god and even got involved in a fight with a police officer many many moons ago simply to proove my point. Dont get me the wrong way, i wouldnt do that nowaday's as i have matured slightly.

In answer to your question, Yes i would say that to a copper without doubt if they were funny with me.......

Thanks guys, since i got my neons fitted last week ive been told by various people that theyre illegal. Although about 4 times ive been out cruisin round and passed a copper. Yet each time they kinda look as if they aint sure whether they should pull me or not.

Up to now i aint been pulled, but all of the above is some very helpful info incase i do, nice one.

i dont blame you scobby, all coppers these days think they are 'god' they need to know where they stand lol.

i agree wiv u 100%, cant wait till the copper pulls my fella for his neons then i can say my point. thanx scobby for the advice

xkx

Be carefull hun, thats like saying All Cruisers are stupid

Not all coppers think they are "God" just the majority of them......

You never know when your next to nowadays though

thanx for all your replys AND I SORRY FOR USEING TEXT TYPE hope you all for give me hahahah
