Good stuff to know!! The third video I have seen and thats how I denied the cops access to search my vehicle.
Watch the third video Wax Hands recommends, 4 minutes. Seems the cops at your neighborhood are going to hassle no matter what. Just be a d**k and deny them the search. They will try and scare you using whatever tactics they can. They will call back up, they will keep you waiting outside for several minutes. In my case, they took me outside my car, and then made me close my eyes and count to 20,while facing my car with the door open. The cops where sticking there head inside and flashing there lights all over the inside of my car. I kept my cool and didnt open my eyes. They still searched my car VISUALLY, which they saw nothing.
You could always fight a ticket in court, in your case it got drop, so you probably went to court, showed your tags and insurance...case closed. Yea your agent hooked u up, taker her to lunch as a thank you.
haha it was back when i frist got my car...here in alabama you have 20 days to get a tag....and you was spose to get inusrance the very frist day you buy a car unless you buy the car on the weekend. no i didnt go to court here you can have ticket like that drop before court
Well son-of-a-b***h. They need to change that now so that ignorant people like me dont get confused.there is an Ontario CaliforniaIm guessing thats where the OP is from
Your car CANNOT be towed, and then searched illegally. If your car is in their possession (impounded), they can search ANY part of your car without consent.
I envy you...boy i'm glad i live in indiana... no inspection, no emissions, you don't get pulled over for modding your car... my exhaust has no cats and no resonators and no problem

on the flip side, the winters are harsh, the nearest beach is lake michigan, there's no fresh seafood, and there isn't s**t to do around here
^^
truth.
all this talk of targeting modified cars in california is fascinating to me. i've never had a problem here for having modifications... i was hassled more in washington. not to mention, you can't leave the house without seeing heavily modified vehicles, so... the strict modification laws confuse me, because there are sooooo many people who do it here.
but i keep mine registered in washington, so... wootsauce.
truth.
lowering isn't an illegal mod unless you are driving around SUPER slammed. i don't remember what the height requirement is, but it's really low, iirc.

Yes i heard about this. Maybe i should look into this.
Your from Sacramento? Ive never been down there, but sounds like they are being more lenient. Yea, situations are all different throughout CA even thou they all follow the same rules and regulations. I guess it comes down to the city and how much of our tax money should go to waste pulling over these so called modified cars. LA sucks! its the hot spot. I prefer to live up north^^

Its my goal in life to move up there, not to modify cars but to live the life.
its only because they make millions of dollars a year in tickets and california is in so much debt they will do whatever it takes to get money. this is a list of illegal mods from the california highway patrol website http://www.chp.ca.gov/community/streetlegal.html
What I don't understand is... Why the hell does it make a difference if you have CARB legal parts or not.. It's not like they're that different from non-CARB legal parts other than the fact that DC paid for the CARB sticker (and I guess if you get a different cat). You're like the only state out of 50 that gives a s**t about it and a lot of the cities in CA are one of the most polluted states in the US.
I'm glad I don't live there. But I'm not glad I live in NY. One of the highest taxed states in the US. Woo!
