100% shameless and disgusting profiling by the officers.
FMVSS/CMVSS 108 states that if the DRL is too close to the direction indicator, the DRLs need to be disabled during indicating. Might as well pull over every single FCA or Hyundai or etc. etc. on the street and give them no DRL tickets.
Who am I kidding, wouldn't expect in a million years VPD Traffic Division would have ever heard of CMVSS since they aren't even aware of what the MVA consists of.
This kind of behaviour is the kind of shit that got the OPCC now investigating Constable Lee Buckingham for abuse of power. I guess Stringer wants in on some OPCC action too.

Abuse of power? Abuse of power. Smells like fucking garbage to me. VPD never ceases to continuously demonstrate their incompetence to the local community. It's embarrassing really.
