I don't know about that. I go to Florida every few months, and I have never been pulled over. I don't speed, there's nothing illegal on my car. I have been to Tampa several times. I was born on MacDill. I don't know anyone but my mom & sisters in that area. Maybe there's SOMETHING ticking cops off with your cars.
Then again, maybe my Aif Force stickers and license plate holder have something to do with me not getting pulled over. 
Well how's this then? When I first moved here in 1991 I was a 27 year old male, short hair, driving a bone-stock 1983 black mustang GT with new tires no loud exhaust or boomer stereo or any such BS. Twice, TWICE! I was pulled over and was told by the Sheriff's deputy (2 different ones) that "I pulled you over because I noticed your out of state plates". His exact words, not mine. Both times they walked the car, ran the plates and my papers and turned me loose. Hillsborough County FL has some of the worst drivers in the country (yes I've driven in a lot of other states) and the police have nothing better to do than run redlights themselves and this sort of nonesense?
