i for one feel that the unsafe violation was bull ****, its clearly obvious the tires are in fact dot approved, which means they meet all the standards any other tire meets to be "street legal" and as for the tire being unsafe, how do you figure? .

According to the code sections on tires, the tires are legal. Yet he is saying that there is another code section that allows him to override the section directly relating to tires and deem them unsafe? What is the purpose of having the code section laying out the elements required for tires to be deemed roadworthy if it can just be ignored at the officer's discretion?
While I do see the grey area in the "unsafe vehicle" section, I do not believe an officer can deem a particular car part as unsafe if the tire meets all requirements listed in the code that DIRECTLY adresses the issue.

And if I remember correctly this was before cops were as informed as they are now in terms of illegal mods, correct?
So if he had problems identifying why he's ticketing the tires, you could imagine what would have happened if he popped the hood? Probably would have have thought EGR was a turbo.

cop: "well i got better things to do" OP: "well obviously not you pulled me over for tires"

I said no offense lol, He obviously took care of business and throughly owned the deputy. Ninetres I still believe that the officer was right in giving you the ticket but the ticket was not right and you proved that! See you at famaso sometime soon!

can u please clarify this statement? Since when does the officer have to "make up the right language" in order for a code section to apply?

The section for unsafe vehicle is very broad and is cited based on an officers training and experience, every dept interprets it differently, in this instance he was cited he had an unsafe vehicle because of bald tires and the thread depth which isnt going to fly in court because the thread is fine, its the fact that they are racing tires that makes them unsafe. It doesnt have to spell it out you just have to narrate on the ticket your reasons for the unsafe vehicle code being cited.

So it doesnt have to say that racing tires are unsafe anywhere, it doesnt even matter if the tires are approved for highway use AND within the guidelines specified in the tire code section, all you have to do is "narrate" a reason why you think their unsafe? And your reason can even go completely against what the code section specifically created for tires says? That's bs.
