I got a warning before when i had my LT's, ORY, and borla open plate for having a defective exaust system. the cop wrote on the ticket TC 547.064 for the section of the law book it was in. he even showed it to me. it is pretty much up to the cop to determine if its too loud or not

I think some people may be misinterpreting why car enthusiasts get so upset about being ticketed for "breaking the law". We know what we are doing when we mod our cars, but take into consideration how small a percentage of the car driving public actually go to the extent of doing these mods, illegal or not. I would be willing to bet that just in Houston alone it is probably only a few percent if not less.
I mean really, is someone like GZ06 actually causing harm to the public by having a loud car or not having cats ? Do you think all the cars in Houston running without cats put out anything even close to what all the refineries in Pasadena do ?
These tickets against all of us "law breakers" are made because we are easy targets, just like shooting fish in a barrel. I think most all of us would feel better if tickets were given for truly dangerous violations, such as all of the cars and trucks I have almost rearended that have no brake lights or the people carrying junk on trailers that falls off in the middle of the road, or even the stupid cement and dump trucks that drop gravel on the road cracking our windshields and ruining the paint on the front of our vehicles.
I think more effort could be put into ticketing vehicles that are truly dangerous, not someone trying to make their car run better.

I talked to his Boss (Very nice guy) a few days ago, and he notifed me that their have been quite a few complaints on him, and he is pulling the video to watch his actions himself.
He said he would take care of it.
*For the record*
I was nice to this guy the first time, and it got me no where. I only give respect where respect is due. Not kissing anyones *** because they wear a badge and are apart of the L.A.W
Cheers

If you dont like the laws your legislature creates, complain to the lawmakers that you elect into office. (You=general public--not rayosequis specifically)

the one thing that really pisses me off about cops giving car/truck drivers tickets for loud vehicles, is that they will let bike riders (Harleys, etc.) go right on by with their exhaust that shakes pictures off the ******* wall when they go by, and won't do a damn thing.
of course, i'm not personally one to like my car to be really loud in the first place, but lots of people do like the loud exhaust, and they get hassled about it WAYYYY more than a bike rider ever will.....just seems a little hypocritical to me.....
