Q probably directed towards the OP, but I was also stopped because the cop would not see my shoulders.

I was drivign through Chino Hills, nice place. We ride there during the day so the wife and I for relaxation went for a drive through the hills inthe cool evening air. A cop sitting at an intersection saw me drive by, no signal lights and I had no stop, his street T'd into the one I was on so I was clear sailing. I'm a tall dude, 6'1 and my window frame rather low compared to my shoulders. SO he startes me in the eye as I drive by. Next thing I know he's pulling me over.

Know why I stopped you? Uhh no!

Cause I couldn't see into your truck.

That's funny cause I clearly saw you in the eyes as you sat at the corner watching me.

Well, I couldn't see your shoulders through the window

uhh but you were on the other side of my truck

well it was dark in your truck

uuh yeah, windows are tinted legally and I was not driving with the dome light on

well I couldn't see you at shoulder height so I had the right to stop you if I see something supsicious

so what was it?

I couldn' see the driver

but you were on the other side so I would think it would be hard to see from that side anyways.

well where are you going?

The wife and I are taking a leisure cruise in the cool air

Are you sure you aren't coming from the bar?

What bar? I don't drink at all!

Oh, well lots of peopel drive through here after hitting the bar.

Uhh, I wouldn't be leaving the bar at 10 pm with my wife dressed in her snoopy pajamas?

OK, have a nice evening sir!
