well heres my view. No madder what import you drive or any performance vehicle you own. And no matter how stock it is or modified it is These cars will be targeted for one simple reason. That is they stand out and have a stigma attached to them that all the people that drive these cars are hoons even if there doing nothing wrong at the time when they are seen and pulled over. Far as cops are concerned i hold them in high reguard for one reason i would hate to do there job and deal with people they think they are picking on them and everything else like deaths and car accos ect. But some do seem to dislike nice / performance cars and target them unfairly but there are alot they like them and are enthusists themselfs
Here are some things i have found that help alot and i mean alot
1. Address them as sir or mam to begin with works a treat
2. Be polite and most of all respectfull at all times.
3. Tell them straight up what mods are done if they are defecting you (only the ones that they can see) to shows you know about them and mention that you are getting them fixed which shows your not hiding anything and trying to do the right thing this lessons the defect or increases the time they allow you to get them cleared they can wave the fine also.
4. The most important one of all keep you car as close to legal as posible eg not rediculosely loud, low, big shiny chrome wheels things anything to make it stand out more than what it is. Stick to clean looking mods and you will be left alone more and one final thing you can not be deffected if your car is legal 100 % engineer it mine is not engineered at them monment but it will be and they can not defect you if they do you have a leg to stand on as far as loging a complant to they're supervisiers ect.
These things help but it wont stop them defecting you if you in a place where dick heads are doing stupid shit or if they have be directed to go out and clear out the usual cruising spots where trouble happens. Every time i have been defected have been in these areas every other time i have been let free without anything more than a warning and most of the time not even that.
