Why does everyone assume that when ever someone posts a comment meaning 'I got pulled over by the cops for X, though in the end didn't get fined for it', they are automatically complaining?
All I see in OP's post is he got pulled over, the cops themselves didn't see the rationale in giving them a fine for it 'and mayhaps let them off with a warning', now the OP would like an understanding as to why they are illegal?
Sheldon, this has been covered before, may the search be with you young padawan
