Seafoam vs. the Police Seafoamed my car for the first time Sunday afternoon (2001 TA, 63,000 miles).

Didn't get any smoke until I actually started driving it. As I turned onto the main drag to drive around and burn the stuff out of the engine, I was the victim of unfortunate timing- there was a cop not far ahead of me, and he seemed to be looking in his rear-view mirror- at my foul-smelling gray smoke plume, I imagine. Yikes! Quickly turned off, made a slow drive around the block (smoking nicely) and then turned back onto the road.
A few blocks later- I came across the same cop, who had been stuck at a very long left-turn light- and there was nowhere for me to turn off again. So I cringed, crossed my fingers and smoked by him, and he decided to pull me over. He was nice about it, and let me go (not even any "warning" about anything). (I think it helped me I had brought the empty Seafoam can and Chaco-Taco's writeup with me as supporting evidence, for just this possibility of law enforcement interest.)
But next time I Seafoam something, I'm doing it well after nightfall!
