Default third brake light but no mirrors.

So I got pulled over last night, no top, no doors. cop says I pulled you over because you don't have a third brake light and your license plate light is burn out.

I said, plate light must have burnt out and yah I broke the spare tire carrier wich is where the third brake lights is.

Cop says, oh I though maybe it was part of the hard top(why didn't I think of that) and no big deal about the plate light just get it fixed and make up something for a third brake light.


never asked me for my drivers license/insurance/ownership.

and better yet never said anything about the lack of mirrors, or empty beer cans.

it all ended with have a good night, nice jeep by the way.

I bet he's got a Jeep at home and just wanted to check your Jeep out. Pretty cool cop IMO.

Same, my buddy is an Alabama State Trooper and said you're ok without side mirrors in Alabama.

Not for me. For some reason I'm paranoid when I use the mirrors, like I'm not seeing what's really in the mirrors. Prefer looking over the shoulder.

Man, your cops are soft...

Here in Quebec, he would have checked out the Jeep, then a friendly chat, and then, still hit you in the fface with a freakin racket style ticket.
