yeah street racing that's one thing, but ticketing for cars being lower than certain amount, tinted windows, etc.... those are just lame and stupid. and yes, laws are there, but enforcing it or not that's up to cops, and reason for them to do it after all is just for the money. and that's what i hate about

if you have sticker for your intake, show it to the cops and they will have to shut up. for the exhaust, unforunately, i do not think you get any exhaust when you buy them, it's just "said" to be 48 states legal or so. if the cop THINKS that your exhaust is loud, he can still send you to referee at will.

now if you pass the db test at the referee, then you will get a sticker as well to show the NEXT cop

You know we should take advantage of public information.

Every officer out there every undercover car out there should be exposed to the public. I Dont see it as being illegal. Next time they try to coerce regular citizens into comitting a crime, they would have a good idea who this people are. Itd be nice to see if the people in charge in this operation if there was a sites, places even bulletins spread out with stats printed on everyone responsible

Although this does not affect me directly yet, I see this as a big deal, I see certain liberties being at stake here, I have no issues if street racing is the target, I see issues when you start hampering with your right to own a car, and mod it. Theres gotta be a way to put a stop to it. To make it concetrate on illicit racing if need be, but to make them stop this profiling.

Perhaps sit ins? Demonstrations? Anything you guys can do? Or are you all helpless in a totalitarian state? Getting access to certain information and releasing it? Theres gotta be a way to defeat this. its wrong its dead wrong.

Remind me where did freedom go? This is down right scary.

I feel for you guys.

Happen a lot in San Jose and Milpitas now. Cops did a road blocked couple weeks ago at the run and i heard it going to happen again. So racers be careful to get your car impound or tickets. By the way i have few friends that are Milpitas cops they can sign off minor tickets like tint window, low, intake and stuff. I'm willing to help members out to help sign off but i'm not going to make any promise that i can do it all. I know how it feels when they make you take off your tint.

That's why I haven't been to the "illegals" in awhile. They started really crackin down in Oakland. CHP in my area really doesn't have anything to do. I got pulled over by the same cop THREE TIMES for tint, exhaust and my freakin cracked windshield. It's like...pull someone over that IS doing something illegal woman. I heard that in Sac they've been pulling over and <b>impounding</b> people for illegal mods for awhile now.
