The cop may have been eyeing you 'cause you were a kid in a "decked out" car, but he didn't ticket you because of it. He gave you a ticket because you failed to signal. And I think the reason folks might be quick to jump on you is because you're looking for sympathy when you clearly have no leg to stand on. It'd be like someone stuffing their pockets with CD's from a record store and then crying about how the guy working there caught him stealing.
I love how people come in here and scream and cry about how they get profiled and picked on and given bogus tickets because they're young and "the cops are just jealous they have a nice car"... Take some friggin' responsibility for once, people. A half-second flick of the wrist could've avoided the whole incident.
