Let me spell this out...
Roxbury, I travel through it practically everyday on the way to my college.
Its Route-46 to Route-10 to get to my school, both of which run through roxbury. I do 65mph in a 50mph zone infront of the police station at the bottom of the hill. On the top of the hill to my school, I along with everyone else do atleast 65mph in a 50mph zone. I've done probably 90mph through there and I consistently do 70-80mph.
You think I've been pulled over once? No.
You think I have a carbon fiber hood and a big ass hood scoop on my car, along with a 3inch exhaust canister on the back of my WRX? If that doesn't make me more likely to get pulled over, I don't know what does.
Oh, yes I do. Its speeding around in an area you're not familiar with. I know where the police patrol, I know how many of them are on patrol. I know that the flow of traffic is usually atleast 60mph when stoplights aren't screwing up the flow. I know no police officer in his right mind is going to pull me over in the middle of traffic for going with the flow of traffic or slightly faster - he's not going to be able to pull out into the traffic and even if he could it would cause such a traffic jam that he wouldn't do so unless I was a flagrant asshole.
When I speed through the area tomorrow and don't get a ticket, I'll let you know. My friend goes through the area faster than me and hasn't been pulled over, about 14,000 people go through the area at those kinds of speeds daily and thats just for the college - add in commuters to local businesses and NYC and you probably easily have 30,000+ people flowing through there daily.
Its not the car, its you.
You have to believe that the officer is going to run your plate before he pulls you over, you have XXXXXXX strikes against you already. When he sees this, he's not going to cut you a break because he figures that you are an asshole and someone else has already cut you a break but you've already managed to fuck up XXXXXXXXXX times.

jersey sucks with cops. i seriously have been pulled over 35+ times. i only have 4 real tickets though. 2 no documents, 1 wreckless that got dropped, and 1 seatbelt (+ 10 parking tickets). ussually its because im driving a suspicious car at suspicious times. ussually i get pulled over, they see im not drunk and that i know far too many cops. most are cool and let me go, 3 were dicks. i never get bullshit tickets really because i know so many cops though and they know i will just get them dropped.
You drive a modded car through the city and downtown areas. You're going to get roughed up.
He drives an Audi through the 3rd richest county in the nation and you think anyone is going to bat an eyelash at him for driving a *RED* audi. Hahahaha. It wasn't the car or the color of the car he was driving, if anything, that would help him with his status. My girlfriend's dad gets pulled over on his way home from work constantly because he drives a '03 Mustang GT through a ritzy neighborhood in Mendham - with a BMW or Audi he'd fit right in.
