It depends on who you get pulled over by.

If you get pulled over by a cop, you could get in big trouble as in paying a fine and also high insurance rates and a suspension on the license.

If you get pulled over by a hooker, you could get a disease.

Your car gets impounded and you get charged with a misdemeanor criminal offense (possible jail and/or a fine).
