It doesn't matter that was still some of the funniest crap I've ever heard. The funny part about it is I actually talk to people like that many times a day at my job. I just laugh about it...

So cops are pulling you guys over, and searching your cars for speed equipment? Are you guys speeding, when they pull you over, or theyre just checking anything that looks like a performance car? What happens when you refuse to let them look at the car?

My guess is that CHP is probably gonna be more versed on whats legal and whats not on the car? Never stopped in the Camaro, always in an Impala, so never had these issues...

or me amd my best friend were at a meet when a bunch of ricers pulled up. it was ok for a while but then they started to do dumb ****(trying to do burnouts, driftin gin the parking lot). Instantly come in the cops, blocking off all the exits. Make everyone get in a single line and search every car for anythign illegal (substances, mods, etc.) Every single ricer got at least one ticket, on some they were even measuring for headlights being too low! Every domestic they pulled up they made the driver get out, make sure they were sober and told them to have a nice night.. not one domestic got its hood opened or a ticket


sorry for the long post

§ 2222. Add-on Parts and Modified Parts.
(a) As used in this section, the terms “advertise” and “advertisement” include, but are not limited to, any notice, announcement, information, publication, catalog, listing for sale, or other statement concerning a product or service communicated to the public for the purpose of furthering the sale of the product or service.

(b)(1) Except for publishers as provided in subsection 3, no person or company doing business solely in California or advertising only in California shall advertise any device, apparatus, or mechanism which alters or
modifies the original design or performance of any required motor vehicle pollution control device or system unless such part, apparatus, or mechanism has been exempted from Vehicle Code section 27156, and the limitations of the exemption, if any, are contained within the advertisement in type size to give reasonable notice of such limitations.

(2) Except for publishers as provided in subsection 3, no person or company doing business in interstate commerce shall advertise in California any device, apparatus, or mechanism which alters or modifies the original design or performance of any required motor vehicle pollution control device or system and not exempted from Vehicle Code section 27156 unless each advertisement contains a legally adequate disclaimer in type size adequate
to give reasonable notice of any limitation on the sale or use of the device, apparatus, or mechanism.

(3) No publisher, after receipt of notice from the state board or after otherwise being placed on notice that the advertised part is subject to and has not been exempted from the provisions of Vehicle Code section 27156, shall make or disseminate or cause to be made or disseminated before the public in this state any advertisement for add-on or modified parts subject to the provisions of this article, which have not been exempted from Vehicle Code section 27156, unless such advertisement clearly and accurately states the legal conditions, if any, on sale and use of the parts in California.

(4) The staff of the state board shall provide, upon request, model language which satisfies these requirements.

(c) No person shall advertise, offer for sale, or install a part as a motor vehicle pollution control device or as an approved or certified device, when in fact such part is not a motor vehicle pollution control device or is not approved or certified by the state board.

(d) No person shall advertise, offer for sale, sell, or install an add-on or modified part as a replacement part.

(e) The executive officer may exempt add-on and modified parts based on an evaluation conducted in accordance with the “Procedures for Exemption of Add-on and Modified Parts,” adopted by the state board on
November 4, 1977, as amended June 1, 1990.

(f) Each person engaged in the business of retail sale or installation of an add-on or modified part which has not been exempted from Vehicle Code section 27156 shall maintain records of such activity which indicate date of sale, purchaser name and address, vehicle model and work performed if applicable. Such records shall be open for reasonable inspection by the executive officer or his/her representative. All such records shall be maintained for four years from the date of sale or installation.

(2) The Executive Officer shall exempt used original equipment oxidation catalytic converters which comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency interim enforcement policy for used converters (published at 51

been exempted from the prohibitions of California Vehicle Code sections 27156 and 38391 pursuant to the procedures provided in this subsection.
