Could it be because he had some "light bars" as well as antennas installed on the vehicle? That'll get ya stopped.

There is no way I am going to join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GovtVShams/ this Yahoo list just to read the article then have to unsubscribe from that list! I'd like to read the entire article. Why don't you email it to me directly? Indeed, it is sad that we hams must be subjected to this kind of thoughtless ruling. With all that Amateur Radio Operators do for the community especially in times of disasters you would "think" that local law enforcement would appreciate the **HELP** we provide. Apparently North Carolina [ perhaps just a few lawmakers and politicians] don't feel that way. In the nineteen years I have lived here in the Tucson community I have been pulled over twice. Once by a Sheriff's deputy and the other time, by a Tucson Police officer and you know why they pulled me over. Because of the many antennas on my vehicle and, they even admitted, "out of curiosity!". Far as I know we have no laws on the books regarding "police look alike" private vehicles with multiple antennas installed. I have 8 antennas [and 8 radios to go with them] on my Ford F-150 and still get the "looks" but...only from the public! I often laugh when I am on the freeway [doing the 75mph speed limit] going to work why no one ever try's to pass me, even the truckers...chuckle-chuckle!

He is now *charged* with driving a car that resembles a law enforcement vehicle. Apparently that is a law in NC. Details here: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GovtVShams/> This will be my only post on the subject. Please direct any discussion there. This could be you if you have many antennas on your car (as many of us do) and drive through NC in anything close to the same model car LE uses (Caprice, Crown Vic, Intrepid, Impalla, Etc, or even any of the clones such as Park Ave or anything based on the same frame).
