just so you guys know, if a P.O. has probable cause (louder than stock car) he doesn't need a warrant to search your car or pop the hood. Also any P.O.'s on a motorccle is 99% of the time on a traffic detail, only looking for traffic violations not answering other calls.

Haha i was there for the daytime footage. I can't believe they showed that SLOW *** race with the white/black civics and the two stock *** trucks.
Doesn't really matter if a cop pop's the hood on our cars anyways
They are trained to spot illegal mods on imports mostly along with some generic stuff like n2o. As long as you have cats on your car you'll be good. Hell last time i had them pop my hood 2 CHP officers stared at my engine for a good 4-5mins and told me to get my wanna be SS, V-6 outta their faces before they tore it apart "looking" for nitrous. How dumb can you be there are obviously 4 tubes on each side 4+4=6?!

I've had my hood popped (bout 2 years back) and it was pretty comical. Let me start by saying California LEOs use a loophole in the vehicle code that states officers ALWAYS have the right to "inspect" a vehicle to be sure that it is operating safety and within law. Key word is safety inspection.....not SEARCH. Get it?
(long funny story short)
The first thing the cop pointed at was my oddesy battery. "Ooooooohhh, what do we have here?!?!?!" I LOLed and replied, "Ahhhh. my battery?" Then he said, "Oh, right. Well it looks like we have some headers on here!!!!" I had stock 6.0 manifolds flipped forward. I then explained to them how they are factory manifolds even complete with heat shields. They finally pointed their flashlight at my FPR. I was actually relived they correctly identified SOMETHING. Then one *** clown yelled from behind my car as he was laying in the prone position, "LOOKS LIKE HE REMOVED THE BAFFLE FROM HIS MUFFLER!!!!!!" My DP fed a borla XR-1 with no tip just before the axle. I then explained that he must have studied up tooooo good on ricer Honda mufflers and that my muffler never had one to begin with. They finally just wrote me a REF ticket which I easily got dropped in court after I "sold"

adjustable cam gears wtf? lol did u explain to him that its a ohv engine
i agree 100% 8 deaths and 44 injurys? i bet u they have more injuries at the race tracks then that and on top of that theres more street racers then track racers...it is indeed ridiculous..but i belive alot of these rules mostly are because of the stupid swerve through traffic racers that put many risks at stake.

Luke (camarojunky74) knows all about that. He got pulled over on a cruise (because they had reports of a silver car that was racing - there were more than 1 "silver" cars so they picked the guy in the back) and over 6 cops showed up and started pointing out "illegal" modifications on his bone stock car, they also found a "gun" hidden under the floormat on the passenger side and a great smelling air freshener.

seriously... wtf am I gonna do with my TA? I can't move back to CA with it apparently... I guess I'll be renewing my AZ registration for 2 years come June... but when I move to CA, and my insurance is notified that I now live in CA, I think my insurance has to get switched because of that? not sure how all that works...

Yeah you don't understand though. He just said the problem with that "loophole". According to CA law if you live here you have to register it here within X amount of weeks. If the same cop keeps seeing you driving around with Arizona plates for X amount of weeks he WILL pull you over every chance he gets. Then there's insurance too, but I think that's less of a problem than local PD.
