his name was myles. I know some officers as well, gonna contact them as soon as finals are over.


Basically I gotta go for an emissions test and a decibels test


thanks for the help too guys! Just a little worried cuz my car does sound louder for some reason now.

 

How do all the Harley riders out in CA cope with the laws? 99% of em are deafening when full throttle.

 

would suck in cali for exhaust... here in florida you can do whatever...**** i ve never had anyone ever come even look at any of my cars when i register them here in florida.... in tennesee we had a sniffer test, but there were way easy ways around it..

 

I think you shouldn't have agree to let him look under the hood. Because if he finds something you it automatically will be used against you. There is a whole article about saying NO to the cops: http://www.flexyourrights.org/street_stop_scenario

 

they have ways to get around it, read that somewhere.

 

Sounds familiar...is he a skinny motorcycle cop?

 

Yeah Cali is terrible for these things, but that's why you get a butterfly cut out! (they don't need to see the button)

 

The catch is they can detain you for reasonable suspicion. An exhaust is also reasonable suspicion for him to look under the hood. If you really push them for a search warrant, they will be pissed, but they can get it pretty quick now a days. If you have stuff under the hood then, they can go as far as impound your car while they are at it.

If you go down this route ... they can and will make it difficult. IMO, it's better to kiss azz and deal with your choice to mod.

 

I got stopped for going five miles per hour over today. He wrote me up for doing 30 in a 25. He also wrote me up for a ticket for have a "loud" exhaust. I said the california limit is 95db and my exhaust (INJEN) is under the limit. He said that may be, but I'm not writing you up for having an exhaust over the the legal limit, I'm writing you up for having an exhaust that makes a "loud or unusual noise". Anyway I've never had any luck getting out of speeding tickets, so I'm not going to even try to contest it. I'll just pay the fine do online traffic school and be done with it. As far as the exhaust though I asked him what I need to do and he said, "make it not as loud". Anyway, an hour later I stopped by the campus police office at Sac State and an officer there signed off the ticket and said he couldn't believe they would give me a ticket for that. I'm a little unhappy at the moment. Watch out for police in Woodland CA, who like to abuse their power.
Drive safe.

 

Same here in Texas, you don't even have to smog your car if you don't live in D/FW, Houston, Austin or SA.

I really don't know why anyone would want to live in Ca. Visit maybe, live there, never. Talk about a Nanny State.

 

yea he was.... you know him?

 

LOL...actually I ran into him today. Nice fellow...if you hadn't said "alright" to his "we could have it tested", I'm purty sure he would've given you a warning or a court date rather than sending to the ref. State refs can get expensive.

 

^ Lol

 

I've been cited so many time for exhaust noise had I kept the tickets I could
create a book. You were cited for noise, take your documentation with you
and have it written off....NBFD! You must have your front license plate on
other wise he would have got you for that too.... How did he miss
your window tint?

 

where do u get this hks exhaust certificate at?
