Lightbulb Houston Astro star will get you pulled over.

I figured out why I kept getting stopped by the sheriffs and police. On my new car I had put a sticker on it that looks like the astros star. I got stopped pulling into the airport and the cop said "all this back here tell me what is this". I said it was just a sticker. he said "did you know a lot of people in gangs have that same sticker, you dont represent do you". I said no. He said "you know that shirt you have with that H for houston only gang members have those, they run a store in Pasadena" Then he ran my liscense and said "I know your affiliated with something" When I got inside the airport where the cop has this little podium thing at security when i got on that moving walk thing he looked and followed me all the way to the airplane. So im going to peel that sticker off before I get the car out of the parking garage and throw that black shirt away I think that attracts police attention.

Gotta love the classic Houston urban legends. That story is older than Sam Houston himself.

You seem to have a lot of problems with HPD. I suggest you get out of Houston ASAP.

Ahhh, another one. I'll try my best. Hobby Airport? South East Houston? Somewhere near Broadway Blvd.?

Dude, you did the right thing. Peel that stupid sticker off, start dressing better and you'll be just fine. Just gotta stop looking like you're "affiliated with something".

Btw, It's gonna be much worse in L.A , Chad. You might want to think about it.

So, next time, get a sticker that actually says Astros on it, and you'll be a great sports fan like the rest of us.

Go Astros!!

The Tango Blast gang, and all the TB wannabees, use the Astros logo. That's why your display of it caught the cops eyes. It's nothing personal.

Exactly......The Tango go as far as tattooing the star on their face, head, body, etc. Taking it a little further than a sticker...

You obviously have not been hanging around here that long. It is well known that the HPD, Mexicans and rogue weight droppers target the OP on a daily basis.

They sell those hats & jerseys in just about every mall in Texas for Christ sake!!! I have a Stro's hat myself with just the star logo on it & I'm White so I guess that makes me gang affliitated too?

I also have a gold chain necklace hanging from my neck.
