Wait, so you live in California and you dont know how d!ck the cops are??????? And your driving around without a third brake light. Hell, I mean I feel for ya and everything, but I live in Jersey and I know to have your car in top complete working order if I were to ever drive in California. Sorry to hear, but, seems it was because of your own stupidity. Good luck, hope you get it back soon.

cops are just pricks everywhere i think. theres the occasional chill officers that you rarely see, but other than that i feel like there just out to get you.

o impounding your car for a brake light is just completely excessive, should have just flipped out on the dude. who the hell impounds a car for that reason. seriously

i live in california and i didn't know that they could do that. My friend doesn't have a third brake light and no cop has said anything about it. I think you should take this to court because even if they were to impound your car they really shouldn't impound it for a month unless you said something to the cop to get him pissed off

If it was impounded for JUST the third brake light was out then it sounds exessive, but I think there's more to the story , I don't think I know any police officers that would impound a car for something like that.

really? ive met a few cops that try there hardest to screw people over. They just look for any little reason to beat your ***.

Its like they get a thrill in abusing what little power they have and they try there best to intimidate you.

not all cops of course its just mainly the highway patrol where i live. The town cops where i live dont give a fkn.

Im not too sure about this, but im pretty sure that as long as you have 2 out of the 3 lights in working condition, you will be let off with a warning AT MOST.

I respectfully disagree. I was pulled over for a freshly blown headlight by all three city cops on duty, a highway patrol and the sheriff. for 1 hour i sat there with five cop cars, all with lights going, behind me. Most cops are d!ck cuz you drive a "little sports car" and they can't find anything wrong with it. or they are power tripping.

It sounds like you've gotten pulled over for this before, and cops have impounded you car for a day. Im sure this cop could see that when he ran your plate number. Maybe this cops figures, "Hey, this guys been warned about this before and doesn't care. Well...I'll make him care and maybe he'll fix his car."

True. But then i was an hour late picking up my girlfriend. And thus she was two hours late getting home. needless to say, her dad was pissed! But she ended up being a cheating whore, so it's all good. All in all though, it doesn't take an hour to write a fix it ticket. that was my main point. Just that some cops are d!ck jus cause. No real good reason. They just are.

That is true. They just think there on top of the law and think their shiit dont stink. I remember when my friend told a cop that pulled him over for a bullshiit reason. That he is lucky that he is in uniform because things would be different if he did not have that badge on him.. and i was like ooooo Fu*ck.. Cop could of busted his shiit all up for that...

Well are they requiring you to pay a storage fee? or a fee to get it released back to you?
