what do cops look for?

They were looking for "Probable Cause", which would mean that if you had been drinking it would have been that line cross they'll say you did, or fumbling with the radio may actually be you fumbling with your gun, or any other number of instant excuses they can come up with!!

I used to have an old 1970 Dodge pickup, and can't tell you how many times I got pulled over for the "license plate light" being out, or in this case non-existant. I finally couldn't take it anymore and told one cop that the old steel bumper didn't have one, wasn't going to be getting one, and to write me for the ticket so I could finally fight this in court. I think word got out because I was never pulled over for it again!!

"Probable Cause"...thats my theory!! Geof
