Got pulled over for tint and cop checked the engine I got pulled over for window tint and and the cop popped the hood. ******** saw the K&N intake and said it was illegal. I showed him the CARB sticker but he said it was supposed to be on the intake. He then saw my L/T and said I need to go to smog referee. Looks like I am fucked for now. But I was also told the ref sticker doesn't mean **** since it doesn't go into the DMV anyway. I just need to pay the fine for tint and not to worry about the ref smog.

Not at all. I just sat their quietly while he checked my license and registration. He asked if I had any engine mods and I told him that I didn't put anything on. He asked me to pop the hood and then I knew it was down hill from there.

LTs, flowmaster 40s, and a MS3...next time you get pulled over, kill the engine before you pull over and coast to a stop. This has happened to me a lot for window tint and I guarantee my car is also louder..once i get pulled over for window tint i get hit with no front plate, it's basically an automatic. When I've been asked if I did any motor work or exhaust work, it was a "no" with a puzzled look on my face, followed by a "oh, well, I changed the mufflers in the back..?"

Parked in front of my friends house on the 7th of last month, noontime waiting for him to come out. I see the police coming up the street behind me and think nothing of it. As they approach they slow and give me a funny look. There was another car behind them so they couldnt really stop. As they get to the corner I see that they are lingering. I figure they were trying to see what I would do. But didnt pay it too much attention till i see the car coming down the block again behind me. Now I know they are gonna bother me. So they flash their lights and get out. I see the officers get out and switch position. Black female officer who was driving takes rear right quater panel, white male officer takes my window. I get the normal, do you know, why I pulled you over? I say no cuz I didnt. He says your registration is suspended. Im like no it isnt. He ask for reg., insur., and L's. Turns out reg. was suspended because I had forgotten to renew 6month premium. Idk how I forgot but I did. Turns out the letter from dmv was in the car unopened from the first of last month, six days previous. Anyway officer writes me a ticket and tells me go home. I was on the way to insurance anyway cuz Dvd/Tv had been stolen that night before. Now I was double pissed. Car broken into and I find out I dont have insurance when getting a ticket same day. But anyway I ask officer why he ran my plate he said just a HUNCH! Cant wait to go to court to tell judge this. He has No legal reason to run my plate. Sorry to thread jack
