Do I smell a court case against the Virginia Beach Police Department or what? Please someone correct me if I am wrong... But that is just my .02 cents...

oh and by the way, we are looking into requesting that tint/exhaust/etc be put into a sub-grey area of the laws. it may be a shot in the dark but its worth a try. some of the officers view the exhaust laws unfair because some vehicles come stock that break the allowed decibel level. for instance harley's are ridiculously loud for being stock. just giving a heads up.

You can not become a cop untill the age of 21. You can be 20 and be eligible to apply. 20 and 1/2 at time of Academy admission. Academy is 24 weeks ( just about 6 months). So upon time of graduation, you would be 21.

But it also says that you are in the Military.

Same with illegal guns, soliciation, etc. There are many cases where the police possess or offer illegal things in order to catch those who are breaking the law.
