They have to tell you what you did wrong before they arrest you or ticket you.
What did you do wrong?

WTF? What were you overweight on the "babe scale" or what? You were in a gas station -WTF Sounds like those cops need to stop watching "COPS TV" & get w/reality. (And some of them wonder why people take the law into their own hands...well while you & 4 other fellow officers were at the gas station interogating that 16 year old - the bank was robbed, the mayors' wife got raped & the dog catcher got shot by a postal worker & terrorists drove a pick up into the cafe - any questions? - FILM @ 11pm)

Cops that do that are the ones that give cops all over a a goddamn bad name If I was the chief there they would all be suspended without pay  Edit: My main gripe is the crowding him like that

You get a warning the first time you are caught underage with people in the car, thats the rule, one warning.. then license suspension for 6 months if you are caught again.
Chill.

I hear you on the cop magnet thing. The other night I had just turned onto a main road from a stop sign (yes, I made a full stop). A cop goes by me from the other direction, pulls a u-turn and follows me for a mile or so, then pulls another u-turn and leaves. I wasn't even at full speed yet as I had just turned onto the road, let alone speeding.
At least it doesn't sound like you're in any real trouble. It's frustrating, though.

Wait, so you got a warning but still have a court date? Just making sure I didn't read wrong---but if its a warning how could you lose your license man?

 You guys have to be kidding? They limit the amount of friends you can have with you? Are they afraid you're going to start a war or a crime spree? Correct me if I'm wrong, so it's "bad" if you have 3 friends with you in 1 car but it's ok when 4 of you get together in 4 cars?  What genius wrote that law?

What was their reasoning for pulling you over. If they only said they thought it was stolen, ask them in court to show where they heard there was a stolen 328i e36 silver bmw that matched your car. If not there was no probable ause for them to pull you over. Having people in your car is a secondary offense and only if they have something else on you, can they convict you of that as well.

Man I saw you driving the other day and I was like "Damn it looks like he stole that thing!" hahaha just kidding, but seriously that was ridiculous for the cop to get 3 more cops on you there and pointless. They must have had nothing better to do, oh well next time an innocent person is killed by a drunk driver I can think "Oh well at least I know they're keeping people like Chris's brother off the streets..."

it's so kids who just started driving don't get distracted by their friends while driving. they aren't as experienced as older drivers so the state limits them to the amount of distractions they can have.
missouri also limits the hours of the day that newbs can drive. 1am to 5am is a no go here.
also, if your state is like MO, and you actually did get a ticket on an intermediate license, you might not be able to get your full license until you are 21.
if you have any more questions, i work at the DMV, so shoot away

Well thats fucked up man. But u live and learn. Ive been pulled over by 8 police cruisers and forced from my car at gun point,forced to the ground,handcuffed, and searched. So i think u can deal with a little ticket for having people in the car.

bullshit, i was 16 once, i drove with kids in my car, you are more tempted to try and show off 9 times outta 10. And yes there may be exceptions, but you cannot make one law for certain people and another for others. It is an amazingly good law to have in place.

and by the way your car is NOT a cop magnet. We live in Alpharetta, seeing a bmw is the norm. You are doing something irresponsible or wrong in your car that is drawing attention to yourself.
I drive a loud as shit red convertible mustang with music that is even louder then the exhaust, if anyone is a magnet in Alpharetta....I am.
