There are absolutely ZERO laws reguarding the use of nitrous on vehicles in the state of Florida. The only laws that even mention Nitrous are for controlled substances (medical grade) and for the transportation of large amounts. (55lbs+)

Just got of the phone with the New Hamshire RMV. There is definetly no laws regarding the use of nitrous on the street, and the ofcr said that there are no restrictions on it for vehicle inspection either. Since I don't believe him, I am looking for the complete list of rules for inspection. It can't be that easy.

Where in that load of crap did you prove me wrong? I agreed it is illegal to have it hooked up to the car, I may have stated incorrectly the actual law by definition. I specifically said it is ILLEGAL TO USE NITROUS in MD. Which is what the law defines it as if you have it hooked up.

My whole contention was you saying it is illegal to carry it in your vehicle if it is not hooked up which is horse ****. Thus your line "If the bottle is not hooked up and you don't have the sticker you get one ticket for not dsiplaying that you are carrying it." is WRONG. You do not have to have a placard UNLESS it is hooked up. You only have to have a placard if it is over X amount of pounds which I believe is 55lbs as long as it isnt hooked up.

I want a refund on my $200 shitty and wrong legal advise and on top of that I want your Aunt B to bake my *** a bean pie biatch!

AZ28DRIVER1

Did you not read what was written above? It not an issue if the system is hooked up or not. Is issue is if you car carrying it in your car. That has to be declared no what size the tank you have from a fire marshal stand point. You are carrying around in your car an accelerant. God forbid you get into a wreck or your car catches on fire that type of information needs to disclosed. Thus the need for the decals on the front and rear of the car. As I stated in the above example. You can have N20 in your car and not have it hooked up. That is fine but you must have the stickers. Don't tell me it can't be done because I watched a kid with my own eyes get a ticket from a cop as we were waiting to get into the track. That experience scared the Hell out of me so I decided to research the MD vehicle laws to see what else they might be able to nab people for. To my shock the cop was perfectly in the right to give him that ticket.

As for your pie....do you want whipped cream or ice cream with that?

During an "unfortunate incident" I once had the local PD toss my car. They said nada, zilch, zero about the big nitrous bottle staring them in the face.

"Definitions.- In this section, "power booster system" means any device installed in a motor vehicle which allows liquid nitrous oxide to combine with gasoline for the purpose of increasing engine power."

No where in that does it state I cant have it in the car. It states I can not have it INSTALLED in the car meaning a nitrous system installed in the car.

Just cause a cop writes a ticket for something doesnt mean the cop wasnt wrong that is why there are judges to decide the law.

Glad you had a sense of humor about the bean pie comment

What track did this happen at?

Nothing on the books for NC. Ive had 2 Charlotte/Mecklenburg Co. cops and 1 trooper look into it for me. By the way, all those cops have low-13's or faster cars (down to a high-10 sec TA). Kinda funny, riding with an off duty cop doing 90 in a 35 and knowing if you get pulled you will get off.

I just recently got a ticket in Maryland. When I went to court here's what they said...

The Officer needs to:

1) Demonstrate that the bottle has nitrous
2) Demonstrate that the system is hooked up
3) Inspect where the nitrous is actually hooked up to the motor

After all that they may have a case. Mine was thrown out because they just saw the bottle/line going to the bottle. They never checked to see if it was full so I said it was empty. I also told the judge that the solenoids were in texas for servicing and since the cop never inspected the engine, they threw out the case. You should be ok.

I have 2 polished 10lb bottles in my back window! When I get pulled over they alway ask if they are hooked up and I say "yes It isn't ilegal" they aways say "yeah but it is dangerous,and street racing is" this is where I say " I am busy give me a ticket or let me go" And they 95% of the time let me go!

In Michigan it is legal! I have been told that at least a dozen times!

I would think the officer would have to prove you are racing,using it. or have NOS in the bottle? To be able to say it is ilegal?

Man I dont think thats funny at all. 1069 is not chump change. Let us know how it turns out. I dont know how PA is but I bet you get it dropped.
