Angry Ticketed for STOCK WING!!!

So tonight i was pulled over by a stupid ******* cop so he can give me a ticket for no front license plate, and my STOCK WING! I told him it was stock and the car came with it new from the factory, he said, "tell it to the judge". He also saw that I had a 2 way in my center console when i went to pull out my registration and started interogating me about it saying that I use it for street racing, which is totally untrue. What a ****ing stupid dumb ****face pig. Has anyone else been ticketed for the stock wing on your Evo and what did you have to do to get out of it? I also was pulled over 10 minutes later for the same thing! I showed the cop my tickets and was let go. Gee , thanks *******!

You shouldn't be fined for that. Seems to me the cop was just bored and felt like utilizing his higher authority. It makes him feel good and allows him to sleep better at night. Don't worry about it.

Just put a front license plate on and show it to whoever you have to show it to. If the judge still pushes for the spoiler fine, very politely request the dealership or corporate office of Mitsubishi pays for it. After all, you'd never purchase a vehicle if you knew it had something illegal on it.

GL.

the only tie your wing can be sighted as illegal is if it is obstructing view out of the rear winshield...that is the at cops discretion...but if you have two side view mirrors(the things that stick out on your door) then any obstruction of the view out of the rear windshield is nulled because you are able to view blind spots witht he 2 side view mirros...

funny how people think they know everything...go read your handbook

THERE IT IS. Then ask him if he wants to go for a quick ride. Tell him it's oodles of fun.
