I live in Tennessee...Bristol to be exact. Bristol is split between Tennessee and Virginia. The cops on the TN side are cool, but VA are pricks. There are certain things that illegal in VA that are not in TN. So I leave one day to go to subway, which happens to be on the VA side. I get pulled over for doing 43 in a 25 (which is fine, yes, I was speeding). I the procede to get ticketed for a radar detector on my dash that was NOT plugged up (illegal to have on in VA, not TN), no seat belt, my turn signal was working, but flashing too fast, and my window tint (which is factory tent on a jeep grand cherokee...TN doesnt care about tint, VA does...strangly enough, the cops car windows were darker than mine). That was 5 tickets in one. I appreciate the job cops do, and appreciate the danger they put themselves in to protect us, however I do believe that alot of them do not respect this power, and get off and doing anything they can to get people in trouble.
