Default got pulled over lastnight in the ws6

I was leaving the 249 meet last night and as soon as I pulled out of the parking lot changed lanes to u turn and here comes the cop. when I pull over he asked to turn the car off and all the other stuff license insurance that stuff. When he comes back he tells me to get out of the car and don’t shut the door, and thin he tells me to sit on the curb. Well when I go to sit down he starts looking through my car I go to stand up and he tells me to sit are he’s going to put the hand cuffs on. Thin he starts in on the nitrous bottle in the car and says you need a permit, I thin argued with him. After 2 hours later and threaten to tow my car he gives me a ticket for no license plate on the front and a tike for my exhaust, it was dumped so he said it has to be out the bumper. Thin when I am going to leave he said if never would have pulled out of that parking lot he never would have messed with me, I hate ******* cops. I wasn’t to sure about the exhaust but I didn’t want to argue about that because I don’t have cats and I heard that’s a pretty big fine.

technically, he is allowed to look inside and underneath, but he cannot open anything. Since fbodies have no trunk, anything in view is fair game, it sucks.

What is he going to fight? He got a ticket for front liscense plate and his exhaust. For the front plate just get a front plate and take a picture of it usually they will dismiss it. As far as the exhaust goes im not sure on the law about that prolly gonna have to ask a lawyer to be sure.

Wrong! Texas law states that a peace officer must have probable cause to warrant a search of the vehicle. No front license plate and illegal exhaust does not warrant a search of the vehicle, which is in clear violation of the Rules and Procedures of the Harris County Sheriff's Dept and the Texas Law.

However, my reasoning for the officer warranting a search of the vehicle is because he either saw your nitrous bottle from the rear window or he saw the nitrous bottle after approaching you. Which evokes the "In clear & plain view" rule.

Should just turn out to be a simple "Fix It" ticket.

Should just turn out to be a simple "Fix It" ticket. A muffler isn't considered an emissions device which falls under city/local jurisdicition. Hell, SRT-4s used to come from the factory with no mufflers. Altering or removing the cats is considered a serious offense since the cats are a federally regulated emissions control device. Since offense is so minor, the Feds aren't going to pursue the matter in court. However, the state will slap you with a fat fine. City/local officers will not pay any attention to weather a vehicle has cats or not. If so, the incident is a rareity and it most likely falls under the city ordinance. State Troopers will ticket you in a heartbeat though for no cats.
There isn't a city law regulating emission control devices. There is a state law though.

Notice i did not say "search".. i said look inside. He made the mistake of leaving the door open. If the window is down or the door is open, the officer can see in your car. If its in plain view, it's fair game. I've been down this road before lol.

Everywhere in Texas, it's a state law, not county.
