anyone notice a significant increase in people getting state ref tickets? Always here the rumor about agencies starting to crack down on modified imports but never took it too serioiusly. Recently 3 of my friends got pulled over and given state ref tickets. All 3 times they were pulled over for non moving violations. These happened in or around SF Bay area. Anyone else notice this or have info on this?

 

That's what happens when you let tree hugging hippies run the state government!!

 

fawkin hippies!! i thought i was gonna get pulled over at a stoplight the otherday...still dont know if the cop was staring at my wheels or my ride height

 

i guess they made it mandatory for all police agencies to watch the training video with the older guy in the civic gettin pulled over. got me worried cause none of my vehicles have smog equipment.

 

Nah, that's what happens when the Democrats get in power in the state senate. Taxes go up and rights go down

Abolish the party system.

 

Yeah, you do have a very good point Mark.

 

 

Fremont police got me for exhuast. I have a Apexi GT spec. Then a week later getting onto the freeway from tennyson going south CHP gave me a ticket for the same thing. So I put the silencer in and so far so good.

 

I'm scared to drive anywhere with my TII now. The Sheriffs in Cupertino are hot, they seem to be everywhere!! Just being lowered and having 17's makes them take a look. One sheriff sat behind me for about a minute in the lane next to me just looking and listening to my exhaust. He pulled off and did nothing but I was sweating, lol. Fortunately I had my muffler shop put on stock looking Magnaflows just in case that happened. Got lucky I guess!! Still kind of worried though.

 

i asked my teacher about all this and he got pulled over...Cops can pull over anyone they want right now until the end of june, there passing this "Click it or ticket" thing right now. If its your first offense all you get is a 210$ ticket but if you had a seat belt offense with in the 2years you will get 1 point against your record, also there breaking down on street racing for about 2months now for Tokyo Drift, man w/e you do garage all your cars this weekend that look "raceabul" there will be so many stupid kids drifting everywhere.

I sence a Plot to Dystroy the Jedi

 

lol, anyone got that one clip of the chp traning vid?
that thing was hilarious

 

I know of 3 people personally that got pulled over (for normal driving) that got state ref. The funny thing is, 2 of those people had cars that looked almost stock less the exhaust and lowering.

This is complete bullshit, after spending thousands of dollars on my car, I can't even go cruise it anymore without worrying about some brainwashed *****-dick cop giving me state ref.

Does anyone know if this is a temporary phenomenon coinciding with Fast and Furiuos 3 and summer or what the whole story is?

 

seems like their dedicating alot of resources to curb street racing. Whats lame is not everyone that fixes up their car is a street racer. I admit in guilty of it once in awhile but i dont think its fair for the people that are juss minding their own business

 

good thing I dont live in the south bay and my FC is a garage queen lol

apparently it is.... watch out guys

 

we can all give a big thanks to the fast and furious series for all this bullshit. today is opening day for tokyo drift, i recommend anyone to not drive their modded car out tonite.

 

we should boycott FATF

 

I have been.

 

I on a boycott too. **** sucks big time. My TII is going to be parked for a while now!!

 

no wonder i saw so many 5.0 on the freeway today, pulling hella people over.
what should i do now with my fc with the rb exhaust....

 

woo lucky i got to use my my's car and go out 2day instead, at the movies i saw some cops, lots of mod cars coming in and at the parking garage ( didn't go see FF3 just had a dinner around there so yah)

yes boycott FATF :smiley_12

 

unfortunetely the boycott will do nothing because the boycotters represent maybe .001% of the fast and the furious movie watching population.

 

Do you guys think this will blow over? I wanna drive my car again...

 

Good thing my s2000 is 100% legal under the California Vehicle Code. Not to mention I am a cop.
