the cop's partner also told me my exhaust was illegal, although the only mod i've done to that is magnaflows. I showed him the smog certificate, and he said

"well..if it's legal, why can I hear it?"

not drive it everyday, or drive like an old person.

I got popped for no front plate and tint (35%) by this guy a few months ago.
Now his sits just under the back side of a hill in my neighborhood yanking people 3-4mph over. 25mph limit. Took this today off my deck.

City will get revenue in my neighborhood, but wont plow it because of brick pavers at every intersection. BS!!! I'm so sick of the BS tickets. They would have a field day with your car out here.

In a previous pull-over, One officer had 'jokingly' mentioned before that 'they know about my car.'

Thanks. Soccer Mom City plopped in the middle of Tornado Alley. Should make this spring interesting.

Middle class minvan driving baby factories gives the po-po nothing to do. So they nail everyone for crap tickets. Funny thing, he pulled someone over about 20 mins after I took this pic. While he's standing there lecturing the guy for whatever he did. A modded GTO cracked off a 2nd gear pull right in front of him. The neighbor and I were laughing so hard the cop could hear us.

You could. You have to follow the laws in the state you are in. I think emissions are the one loop hole in this policy.

Also it should be noted we get a LOT of tourists in California. So cops are on the pawl for an out of stater breaking a traffic law. Like they will follow you, waiting for you to make a mistake so they can bust you.

neurocity, how much are those houses worth?

I think emissions is the one loop hole to this policy. So I think they would be able to get you an illegal window tint, after all your car is in their jurisdiction.

True, but most of the time cops dont want to deal with out of state people because of the hassle. So unless your doing something really stupid...they might look for someone easier. I drove around here in IL with my FL plates for a long time...longer than I should have. The week I got IL plates...bamm, window tint, front plate, loud exhaust. (This was on my old VR4 running a bit rich, so it would do a flamy backfire if I shifted in high RPMs)

Otherway around in California. Cops know its more of a hassle for you to fight the ticket since your gonna be gone in a while. Plus since your an out of stater your gonna know nothing about CA laws, so its just easier AND CHEAPER for the majority of people to pay the ticket rather then fighting it.

Plus did i mention how we get a lot of tourists here. So cops just like all locals automatically hate tourists.

I couldnt imagine being busted for 45% tint. I was pulled over the other day for expired tags (i spaced it) and they warned me for no front plate but never even mentioned my 20% tint. (35% is the limit in Oregon)

Haha they have no choice. I'm just waiting for the chance to pull a cop out of a ditch with my 4Runner.
