Chippie, Why don't you think the officer will admit his mistake? Even the other CHP guys did not know why he didn't recognize the E.0. sticker on my intake. He asked me to pop the hood at 6:00am in a Wednesday morning and had no idea what to look for. That's his fault. He took a picture of my engine bay, so there is hard evidence that my CARB sticker was there before he gave out the citation. All he needs is to rewrite/correct the ticket, then he will save me soooo much time and trouble. The problem is to locate this guy, I will go to CHP office this afternoon again.

Just plug in your EO#'s.
If the CARB EO# was on the intake at the time, you shouldn't have received a citation for it. Don't forget, you also need to have the paperwork with you in the car. It may still be worth the trip to the referee and have him make the final say so. If referee says everything is legit, the court may dismiss it. When we write a citation for that section, we only need ONE emissions modification. It could be something as simple as an open element PCV valve. One violation will send you the referee. Good luck getting the officer to amend the citation to tint only. Probably won't happen. You may have to go to the judge with it. Another bit of info, in order to cite that section and put the no sign off referee sticker, the officer has to have attended a POST certified 8 hour course on modified emissions devices. Remember we only need one modification to send to the referee. Pop off valves, adjustable waste gates, adjustable fuel regulators, etc. are all violations. I recently got a kid running about 700 hp out of a 97 Supra. He said it was all CARB legal. Uh, negative ghost rider. Carefull with the engine mods. Make sure whatever you put on has a CARB EO# SECURELY ATTACHED. Don't just assume it's legit.

Help?

Unlike cops here in Texas in my own experience, I've had quite a few come up to me and just talk about the car and their cars.

Officer error....I wouldn't live anywhere else!
I'd take the tint off your door windows when you go to the CHP office. That
way both issues can be signed off. Tint only takes 5 minutes per window to
remove, razor blade, spray bottle and towels and the job is completed. What
% tint do you have on your windows? That could be why you were stopped
in the first place, keep it 35% or lighter next time.

I wouldn't assume he just 'had a bad day.' What YOU did to YOUR car is illegal, the tint that is. Don't make the cop out to be the bad guy. If he was a ***** about it, well than that officer's personality. Not every cop is like that. Observe and document is what we do. We don't make the laws, we enforce them. Remember checks and balances from goverment class? Three branches of government? I've said it numerous times, if you don't like a law, write your congressman and get a petition going regarding whatever law you want changed. I wrote a ticket the other day for a guy having one of those smoked license plate covers on. He was pissed and called it a bullsh*t ticket. Well, when that guy runs a red light driving drunk and kills one of your love ones, then flees the scene, the red light camera won't be able to recognize the plate because of the cover over it. Or the countless times he's sped through the Fastrak lane and not been caught.
As far as the officer amending the citation, may or may not happen. In my opinion, I seriously doubt it. Plead not guilty to the modified emissions violation and take it to court. Show the judge that the EO# is clearly attached to the intake. Ask the officer if he saw the EO#. Ask him what an EO# is. If he doesn't testify to have taken a POST certified class for emissions, ask him if he has. It's a hefty fine. If your wrong, then there is no change from pleading guilty. Do your homework and read all of 27156 VC.

One way or another, seems like i have to take this to the court if I want to fight it. Spend hours of time, gas money, maybe some fee just to prove the officer didn't recongize the EO sticker. Seems like i am the one who had a bad day.
