Cops Strick Again. - You'll Like This One.

[SlowWhite]

I noticed on my way home that just about every 5 miles or so there was a State Trooper on the side of the highway.

Which was very weird. - they are definetly trying to earn a few extra bucks this month.

welcome to one of the many reasons i left that state. wow, can you guess how many times ive been pulled over down there in CA. oh yeah baby a big fat 0 times. well one reason is the 50 mph city streets, woo hoo.
sorry to hear about that brian, but all in all fight the ticket, why give the nazis more money to fund their cause.

Ya know what Barton, I got pulled over for the same shit. And I was at idle. He just saw my car was modified and pulled me. I argued like hell about it with him. Cuz he never actually heard my exhaust. He said to me that the muffler had to blend it with the engine or something like that. That were his exact words. Or something like that. WTF? Your a cop, trying to citate me, and you dont even know the law. Bite my bag!

Please shut the fuck up. You've hardly been down there a month. You most likely fit in with all the other dumbasses down there so they cops don't think of it being anything out of the ordinary.

dont it say right on the order of parts or in the apexi handbook if any that its state leagal? I thought it was..

[SlowWhite]

that whole "blend" thing was what he ment when he said "flow" with the rest of the car at first I didn't get it until I read the statue stating it must blend with the rest of the car noise.

Anyrate I'm going to take this one to court - I'm also going to print out exactly what the Apexi site says along with there website.


Hopefully at a quick glance which is all it would be it should read as if this muffler although big actually helps quiet the sound by 7db's.

I'm still going to tell the story as it happened. But like you said at least I'll be able to say I tried. And at least I'll get a chance to argue a point that alot of us I'm sure would like to be heard.

yes i do blend in. now you stfu, its always better to blend in dumbass, thats why i dont get pulled over.

All valid points. I think that sucks Brian. It's BS, and no good cop would waste his time on that...

UNLESS...

There is some pain in the ass neighbor who complains about a "street racer" who drives to work everyday at 100 mph, and pisses him or her off. SO then the Police have an obligation to the public to do something...

You were made an example. it sucks. You could fight it, if you're exhaust has the FED spec or DOT approved stamp, or you can prove that it is.

And what city/department stopped you?? City Ordinances are gay, as they change city to city, so in essence, you could get stopped for essentially the same thing 5 times in 5 different cities, and have 5 different violations. Gay.

Very Gay.


Sorry this all had to happen to you.

If I got unlucky and pulled over I will just make my car stricly drag, show, and aut cross race car. Everyone has 3-4" tip on imports and even the muscle cars have louder exhaust. I think you were randomly picked and I would fight it. Cops dont no anything about are generation and car technology. Aftermarket is billion dollar industry and are cars are far superior to theirs when modded. They walk a fine line of public opinion and cross it too often and they are underpayed. I respect and srongly against street racing, but your ticket is wrong. That situation is :bs:
