Pulled over for Decal
I recently replaced the horse emblem on the side of the car with another that says wolf and later that day I got pulled over by a cop. He said that sinced I put a decal on a car that is not what it is supposed to be he said that it was illegal. Im pretty sure that is was full of crap but was wondering if any of you guys had a problem like that.

Edit: Did he give you a ticket? |
im pretty sure thats bullshit. Ive live in Houston so we have the same laws as Dallas. Ive never heard of anything like that. Hope he didn't give you a ticket.
|
Uh, never heard of that one...(putting wolf on the car, not the cop)
We've got a practical jokester cop in town here who wrote a fake ticket once to some high school student for having NOS written on his car. |

ROFL.
|
Yeah, the cop was the school cop and he mainly gave it out to school students to piss them off. Every now and then throwing in a regular everyday person just to mess with them a bit....fun dude. We used to do burnouts in the school parking lot with that guy.
|
Well the wolf part was due to the fact that I like wolves...(here comes the ridicule) but as for the ticket part, he let me off with a warning but said the next time will issue a $175 fine for falsefying property. Im not sure I spelled that right but oh well.
|
i want to see a picture of this wolf car.

Sounds like a good idea, but I will probably maybe keep it on for awhile and pass by like a police staion and have all the cops there look at it and see what happens.:D As for the picture of the wolf emblem I will try to upload the picture of my car but it kinda looks like that brand puma logo. You know the one that says puma and the outline of puma jumping over it. Kinda like that except it says wolf and has the outline of a wolf jumping over it.
|
Im into law and I cant speak for Texas.....but thats bullshit. Never heard of that before. He must be an asshole or dont know what hes doing....or both.
|
The only time I could see a decal being illegal is if it's offensive in some way, or it blocks the view from one of your windows. Other than that, I'd say the ticket he gave you is complete crap.
|
That is the dumbest shit I have ever heard.
|
Never heard that one before.....and unfortunately I have heard alot being pulled over for stupid shiz.

x2 on the bullshit part prolly just being an asshole
|
bullshit....
cop just needed to hand out tickets b4 the month ended |
I wonder if he would have said the same thing if you removed your badges completely. I also wonder if he hassles the ricers, too.
Although I do believe that misbadging a Mustang (A V6 as a GT or a Cobra, or a GT as a Cobra) should be a crime. :p |
you can put any emblem on your car... as long as it doesnt cause a public diturbance...
If the cop said "falsifying propery" there is no such law against that unless your talking about a copywright issue, to which that cop has no jurisdiction upon. Id be contacting his cheif and the mayor of your town for harassment. |

you NEED to raise the issue with the department. It's not ok for him to go making up laws as he goes along and it's not legal for him to pull you over just to be a total cocksucker. He detained you without an offense to investigate or cite you for. Take his fucking badge before he does something that really violates your rights.

Yeah, the cop's full of shit. |
Let's see a picture of your car. I want to see that decal. Maybe you deserved a ticket lol.
But anyway there is no way you are going to have to pay that if you really did get one. |

LOL.....I've never heard of something like this. Maybe he pulled you over for the " in his opinion you shouldn't have done that to a mustang law". You gotta fight it!
|
Falsifying property? I woulda just confused him by saying, "Oh, the car is a Wolf, manufactured by xxxx. I just put Mustang fenders, doors, and hood on it".
|
gay. go to the PD where you were pulled over and get his badge taken away. that is def. harassment. just because he is a dick doesnt mean he can pull you over becasue you have a wolf on your car....
that like saying you have a wolf tattoo on your shoulder and a cop arresting you because of it. |
+1 on what r3d said.
that is complete horseshit. he was just being a asshat and making up a reason to pull you over to see if you were high and drunk. falsifying property my ass. tell that fucker when the next car show is and tell him to bring his ticket book |
well i was going to school today and driving the same street i got pulled over cuz thats how i get to school and got pulled over by the same cop. he told me that since he was in a good mood, that he wouldnt write me a ticket for the decal but the next time it would be a $450 fine. so tommorrow i am gonna fix it once and for all. i took a picture of my car to show yall but my girlfriend downloaded a virus on the computer so it wont open any files. i swear, its been like the 12th time i had to fix it. :mad:

Oh ok. I understand now.
Yeah don't take it off just because the cop harrass's you and he will lose his badge if he keeps it up. Let him give you a ticket, don't be a dick to him or anything, just be nice, and then take him to court. Make him look like a fool of him self in front of the judge. I think you might even be able to get away with pressing charges for wasting your time and all the hassel. |
the cop is probably made cause a few days back he was talking about this kickass Mustang "Wolf" he saw. Then his cop buddies told him there was no Mustang "Wolf" and he said "Becha im right" then he lost the bet and lost 100 bucks, now he is pissed cause he looks like a moron.
i would have told him to go ahead and give me a ticket and we will let court figure it out. |
Do did you nail this cops daughter or something? This whole thing seems a bit off to me. I'm not really calling BS, but I'm just really hoping this cop isn't pulling you over for the hell of it. Are you sure there isn't more to this story?
Assuming you are being picked on by the popo you need to go down to the police station, and talk to whoever is in charge while remaing calm and respectful. I'm sure the cop probably didn't radio in he was pulling you over so there probably won't be a record of it so it probably will be a he said/he said thing. Like Jack said, if the cop pulls you over again demand he write you a ticket so you can work it out in court. |
That man must drive a Chevy!
Seriously, though, thats some BS. |
I dont remember nailing any cops daughter in the past:confused:. Like I said, I will work it out tommorrow and go to the pd.
|
Its funny you said that jack, because when I put the decal on and went to places, a lot of people would kinda crowd around and ask if this was like a prototype. I would start leaning towards the truth and then I would see a group of hot girls just waiting for an answer so I would just say "Its one of a kind" which is kinda true due to the fact I havent seen any other mustangs with a wolf emblem on the side.:D Im just really glad that there werent any real mustang experts at the scene.
