    Mine has been illuminated for years, dealer can't clear it, they just said that everything checks out. I just went through the emissions check and no one said anything and the truck passed with flying colors.

    Is there a single documented case of this? Since this thread has pretty much run it's course, it's now fair game to go off topic.

    Honey Badger, I feel your frustration. Not to put words in your mouth, but I have been in your shoes and what upset me the most was how seemingly arbitrary the whole thing was. If I broke the law (changing lanes without signaling) then write me a ticket for that. If not, or if the officer wasn't sure, well then apologize for the mistake and let me go on about my day. Yes, I get the system is all about generating money, but maybe it's time for us to collectively ask for a new system.

    Only if you loot, commit arson and cry racism will you get noticed. Law abiding people dont, so don't hold your breath.

    This is not the first time I've ever been pulled over... but it is the first time i've been pulled over without a legitimate reason. I'm sure it won't be the last time... I will be pissed though if I get pulled over for the cracked windshield again. We are about to drive to Michigan and don't have time to replace it before then.
