#KNIGHT RIDER KITT SCANNER BAR TV#

With my KI3T I think I'm going to be alot more subtle about any visible features - both to avoid police problems and to avoid possible theft.Ever watch knight rider movie? The car (KITT) have a very cool light bar in front and where most people like to have one of it. The security guard waved me on through with no trouble at all and said the car was 'cool' like Knight Rider. I also had a pipe under the front bumper made to look like the CO2 port or a rocket launcher. I had the rear view camera and a power center I'd made with lots of wires hanging out of it. When they wanted to look in my trunk I thought I was going to be there awhile. I was running late to pick up a friend shortly after 9-11 when airport security was supposed to be really high. I think my funniest incident was with security at an airport. When they didn't find any they asked about the dash and I told them it was like in Knight Rider, and they really got a kick out of the car. Once the car attracted attention at a rest stop and a few policeman wanted to check my glove compartment - apparently they were looking for drugs.

The policeman told me he thought as much and just not to run the tv while driving. I explained that it was a Knight Rider replica and that was my backup camera. When I got back there was a policeman waiting and he said someone from the restaurant had reported the car as a possible terrorist because of the tv in the dash and the backup camera I had that was visible in the back window. They were in adjoining parking lots so I just left the car in the restaurant parking lot.

Once I was pulled over while driving down the interstate because the policeman wondered what all the lights were on my dash, but he was fine with things when I explained the Knight Rider thing.ДЄnother time near Christmas I had lunch at a restaurant and then went shopping at the music store next door. I have had a few funny incidents with the police, though usually when I tell them that it's a Knight Rider replica they're good sports about things. Occasionally I've run it at night on deserted country roads just for fun, but that's it. I've usually played it safe by not running the scanner while driving. I've just got to get a new engine before I can put it back on the road. I'm actually relieved now that the car is an antique and I don't need to get inspections as long as I'm running antique tags. Usually before car inspections, I've just removed or covered anything I thought would be an issue and put it back on again after. I've actually had more problems with car inspectors than the police - either because of the scanner, the tinted taillights, or the non-stock dash. why not do the unthinkable and give them reason to pause next time they lay eyes on the greatest law enforcement vehicle ever conceived, even if it was fictitious?

So i pose this question- if a cop is going to do that to someone he really dosen't know, what is he capable fo doing to those he does? do you want him out on the streets? we are already a crazy bunch, we have spent fortunes on our cars. Then again one man can make a difference, and in my neck of the woods i fully intend to be that man. the home will also transmit to the undisclosed locale, too. i also intend to transmit these home and to another undisclosed location. i may be over the road right now, but there will come a day.ДЄnd when it does, i'll do the unimaginable my car will also be loaded with audio/video recording devices.

On the more serious side, we, as a group, are driving cop magnets regardless of scanners. There was one sheriffs deputy where i'm from that was always overstepping his bounds til he tried to make trouble with the red strip, so I started pointing to cars that were entirely red, and said 'why are you messing with me when those guys have entire cars that are red? looks like you got a busy day ahead of you!'ДЄctually happened, and i'lI simply left him with his mouth open. that way, if i ever would have a cop pull me over( smartass that i am ) id tell any cop/ judge that if they didn't shut up, i'd paint the entire car red, nevermind the red strip. As far as red lights go, i always made my scanner removeable, but i replaced it with a metal strip painted bright red.
