lol, way to wait til the last minute jesse.

 

Pay the fine?

 

I smell more parts for the junkyard vultures

 

Two Options:
Option 1 Return everything to stock and go to the ref
Pay Fine...

From the looks of it, you allready made your descision !

 

duh....


i think you pwned! yourself here.

 

i would sell my car if that happened to me.

 

Theres an option to just pay and not have to get your car checked?

 

well how do you do that.....got to the court house or what?

 

you never should have popped your hood. Cops can't force you to do that. Need Probable Cause to search you. He probably asked you to pop your hood, and you did. If it was CHP take it to court. CHP had their Consent searches REVOKED by the State Senate, they can ONLY search on Probable cause, NEVER on consent.

Edit: how this helps you...Fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine. Anything found by the officers after the illegal act is not allowable in court. So basically everything he found AFTER he popped your hood, in the laws mind, never really happened.

Thats the best advice I can give you other than return it to stock go to the ref, and then change it back again, lifes a bitch.

 

Move to central Oregon like me. Then when they ask you to pop the hood it's because they want to see how come your mods only allowed you to do 95MPH.lol

 

Anything on the outside of the car that is modified is pretty much enough probable cause to get underneath the hood.


Also, where did you hear that issue with the CHP? That's the first I have heard about it.

 

i say, JUNK IT!
then tell the CHP to, " LICK ***** !"

 

Same thing happened to me, i just payed the fine. It was like $300. You should have gotten some courtesy notice in the mail stating the fine, if not a local visit to the county clerk will do the same.

 

PM fumanchu as he got hook-ups for state refs.. he gets up and around in this type of bizz

 

I smell a BOOT..

 

I've got a buddy who works Santa Barbara station who was telling me about it. I had heard about it in the academy, but wasn't sure if it was true...it is. They have all kinds of extra paper to do for ANY type of search, so they make sure its worth their while.

 

I've been told by friends that are cops that if you refuse to pop your hood, you are automatically placed under arrest and your car is held for evidence..

Fu fu, is this true or does everyone operate "somewhat" different?

 

What I know is from what I was told in the academy. Unless we have probable cause, I.E. beyond a reasonable doubt that something is illegal UNDER the hood. Probably the easiest way to establish this is if you have no cat. Cat-back exhaust isn't PC, but if you've got a full racing system, then yeah, I could articulate that to PC, based on my "knowledge, training and experience". Fu Fu knows all about that line, lol.

 

Cut the Bullshit. Junk that FB already. I'm running low on parts.

 

Well...if your vehicle is too low and have a loud exhaust...you are most likely to get pulled over. The officer then would consider your vehicle to be unsafe, which would provide him probable cause.

You could ask MaxBoost about the infamous Officer Clark of Alhambra PD. Officer Clark is a retired mechanic and could spot a modified car a mile away.

 

Get an s2000.

 

baaaaaaaaa

 

just go to court and tell the judge your guilty, and they will give u a fine. After that you are free to go.

 

they talked about it on the subaru forums
you could tell the court that your motor blew up
