Nitrous Laws (NY State)
Nitrous Laws (NY State) As a retarded, er.. retired Deputy I looked up the legality of Nitrous in NY.
Other than the following, and a obscure law limiting Nitrous to two bottles (no size noted, and the average cop would not know Administrative law) there are really NO laws against nitrous in a car.
I'll highlight the appropriate passage:
§ 10-163. Speed contests and races.
a. Except as provided in the vehicle and traffic law, no person shall
engage in or participate in any race, exhibition or contest of speed, or
aid or abet in such race, exhibition or contest of speed, on any
highway, street, alley, sidewalk, or any public or private parking lot
or area. Under this subdivision, "engage in" and "participate" shall
mean actions or circumstances that reasonably indicate that a race,
exhibition or contest of speed has occurred or is imminent, including,
but not limited to, the presence of a canister appearing to hold nitrous
oxide attached to a vehicle; an explicit invitation to race; a starting
or ending point marked in some way; the wagering on the race's outcome;
the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner where the operator, in
competition, accelerates at a high rate of speed; the raising of a
vehicle vertically; the spinning of the vehicle rapidly in a circle.
b. No person shall participate as a spectator in any event or
gathering held for the purpose of a race, exhibition or contest of speed
not authorized pursuant to the vehicle and traffic law. Under this
subdivision, "participate" shall mean acts at the scene of a race,
exhibition or contest of speed that reasonably appear to support such
race, such as wagering on the outcome of the race or actively
encouraging the participants to the race, exhibition or contest of
speed.
c. A violation of subdivision a shall constitute a misdemeanor and be
punishable by imprisonment of not more than six months or a fine of not
more than six hundred dollars, or both such fine and imprisonment. A
second violation of subdivision a of this section committed within ten
years of a violation of subdivision a of this section shall be
punishable upon conviction by imprisonment of not more than one year or
a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or both such fine and
imprisonment. A violation of subdivision b shall constitute a violation
punishable by imprisonment of up to fifteen days or a fine of not more
than two hundred fifty dollars, or both such fine and imprisonment.

Not trying to Hi-Jack but I was wondering if the OP since he was a Deputy would perhaps know where to start looking if I wanted to know the legality of having nitrous in texas? I know that you prolly wouldn't know the laws but maybe you know where I can look and know for sure instead of asking a officer who more then likely doesnt know 100% himself.
