It amazes me that in California you can walk into a store, steal anything as long as it's under $1000 & the cops won't investigate or arrest, but a loud exhaust gives them license to harass or fine people doing nothing harmful. If I lived there, I couldn't leave that state fast enough.
They know if ur stealing you probably wouldn't have that much extra cash on hand, however an enthusiast probably has a little extra. Its all about money like always.
@@Jambiswagoh please a cop can get away with murder and get a paid vacation all without understanding the law. Do you honestly believe that if they don’t do their job they’ll face repercussions. The only jobs I can think of where you don’t have to know anything about the law while dealing with it while being incompetent and lazy is being a cop or a politician.
So... serious question for car enthusiasts living in California: Why would you build your car if any cop can pull you over at any time and ticket the crap out of you for your mods?
its kinda BS here in CA cause I ALWAYS see a tuner cars pulled over but I hear challengers, Vettes, and other muscle car with straight pipe exhaust and i NEVERRRRRR see cops pull them over or hear my friends saying they got state ref. i honestly think they just like pulling over tuner cars over muscle cars
The laws here are fucking stupid and the worst part is that they keep adding new laws that make previously modified cars illegal. They recently passed a law that makes custom tunes illegal unless modified by a CARB certified tuning shop which would mean the car can't be modified in certain ways such as: removal of any emissions system which could even apply to a modified air intake unless CARB certified, one of the big modifications done to EJ engines is removing the butterfly valves on the intake stacks for cold start because they do nothing but hurt air flow into the engine, they don't even really help with cold start, but removing those is considered illegal emissions modification. Even replacing ths stock catalytic with an aftermarket catalytic is illegal now, it used to be legal as long as it didn't throw a code and there was a cat under there but now it has to be a CARB certified cat. I've had a few sheriffs and CHP try to state ref me but everything on my Subaru is CARB certified and I keep all the OE numbers and paper work in my glove box. They tried to state ref me for the exhaust being too loud but the law states as long as we have a set of mufflers and are under the required sound level at 3K RPM we're good, the CHP that tried to state ref my exhaust had zero idea how to perform the test and told me I needed to redline it while he held the meter at the tailpipe and I told him that's BS, that even a Prius would fail that way, lmao, I told him the correct procedure and he couldn't even be assed to perform it and just let me go "with a warning", lmao. A warning for what? Absolutely nothing but I can imagine he probably put a note on my file for modified exhaust. One of my other cars is a 2006 LR3 Land Rover with the 4.4L V8, when I went to get the smog done he almost failed me because I had to replace the intake boot with a piece of universal rubber intake boot from AutoZone because they don't make that boot anymore. It's getting absolutely ridiculous and we need to start fighting back because it's going to start trickling down into other states as well.
You know what’s funny we got take overs and stuff going on and the police don’t do anything for hours but they pull me over down the block for having tint on my windows
California used to be the epicenter of car culture. The custom car scene, lowrider scene, and the tuner scene. Now it seems if you change spark plugs to something that's not from the dealer they will try to give you a ticket. Sad how far this state is falling.
Damn. Here in NC we don’t even have emissions testing anymore. As long as our cars aren’t dangerous or obnoxiously loud, we don’t get messed with at all. Cops have better things to do around here
I wanna run an experiment. First I'm gonna need some good lawyers 😂 I wanna go steal $999 worth of items and walk away not run but walk away like it's nothing. Of course some people might try to stop me. They say anymore then they'll investigate, so how many times can I do this before they try to arrest me. They can't arrest me because I'm not stealing $1000. Point is Cali is a joke
of course... the person with a super car has money for the state to extort. the person stealing from the store is usually broke anyway, all they can do is send them to jail where the state has to pay for care.
What is really stunning here is the fact that it is a Sheriff trying to be a State Ref which is 100% illegal and not in his jurisdiction in any fashion. ONLY STATE POLICE ie Highway Patrol etc can ref your vehicle on the side of the road IN ANY STATE! As an ex CHP officer this makes me cringe. You should literally fight this for harassment.
Riverside County has the STREET team, which they usually call in a CHP officer when they’re going to state ref you, or what they will do is, they’ll have your vehicle towed and impounded, and then have it state reffed
@@jasone1881 hate to break it to ya but unless it is a CHP officer even attempting to talk about emissions it will NOT hold up in court. THE ONLY AGENCY ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WHATSOEVER WITH ROADWORTHY VEHICLES IN CA REGARDING EMISSIONS IS CHP...END OF STORY.
@@jasone1881 the other thing I find hilarious is folks are thinking that being reffed is a procedure on the side of the road or whatever. You have NEVER been State Reffed unless you had made an appointment to the CARB State Referee's Office to have your vehicle evaluated. Being "reffed" is not a course of action it is being seen by one particular officer for the state of CA.
True, there is a big ass, but, in Michigan, the only time cars can get a ref is when they are new, pre-owned, or used from a dealer. Anything after that, you dont have to do any of that shit; we dont have inspection or emmison. If we did, 99.5% of all the cars in Michigan would be junked, but with the winters with salt and snow, even 5-year-old cars have rust; some of them already have rot. I have seen it when I was driving down the expressway. There was an Ford F150. I think in front of me, his entire box flowed off because it was so rotted out. He stopped him, and his friend picked up the box, ratcheted it back on, and drove off.
I had a cop in Cali pull me for speeding in my out of state registered car while visiting family and asked me to pop the hood and I told him I'm not the one to try that with and said no.
They have zero right to search your car without a warrant and no probable cause. If they want to write it let them write it and wait for the warrant. You did the right thing.
I had a similar situation happen to me a few years ago... I was visiting family and went out for a drive, stopped to check the oil and Santa Cruz sheriff tried to state ref me. My car, at the time, was registered and titled in KY and I shut the hood right in front of the deputy and told him to get a fucking warrant. Otherwise, go fuck off!!!
I grew up in Sacramento CA before all this crap started. Now , carb BS and California hatred towards modified cars is bs, when there’s plenty of crime, homelessness and drug use that needs to be taken care of
Dude really asked who bought your headers. You know he wanted to look him and his car up so he could pull the poor dude over or try to get him pulled over.
It is truly ridiculous with all the issues they have in California with the homelessness, drug problems, gang problems and theft epidemic they care more about if you have made any changes to your car did any of the actual crimes that are committed……. I was out there about 10 years helping a friend move from there and they were hassling me about the exhaust on my truck but they couldn’t really do anything due to the fact it was out of state registered and perfectly legal in the state that I was from
The ticket he gave you is invalid. A police officer cannot issue a citation for modified exhaust just because it looks modded. He has to prove it is, and test if it is above 95db. If he cannot prove its above 95db legally he cannot write you a ticket.
She is correct to a certain extent depending on the db level He can prove if is less than db95 he would not get a ticket all he has to do is prove that db level is not above the 95db level and bring that to court and he is good
The real question is why you would live in a Fascist state where they can arrest you for altering your own property and literally just leaving your home to get some food or go to work.
Trust me alot of people are using the little money they have left after how cali has become and are moving away. Alot of them sell their homes and use the left over money to settle in somewhere else
Born here it’s a little tough to move out when ur whole family lives here u act like it’s simple plus gl saving up money to move when ur paying hella expensive rent
A clear example of policing for profit. Why go stop shoplifting, muggings or other serious crimes when you can pull over and ticket a well-off guy and steal his money!?!
That deputy was so desperate to show you who was in charge. He wasn't going to stop nit picking till he found something to get you on. With all the trouble and crimes that go on in that county, he's looking for car mods. 🤨
Meanwhile someone is being robbed of their possessions and the pigs are out worried about modified cars, thays why i say never depend on the police, they are against the people.
Same thing happened to me in Temecula, got state reffed with carb legal sticker on my intake, and for a muffler delete on my Z. Around here they got nothing better to do but state ref you for some stupid shi. Literally chillin driving home from work lol
happened to a friend of mine with his mk4 r32. cop followed him home with the reason that there have been complaints for "racing" and that his car fit the "description"
I feel sorry for you guys with all of the crime that happens out in California they actually have police that go around chasing after guys car parts wow
I’ve been state reffed before all I can tell you is fully cooperate with them but do not consent to searches and do not open your hood if they pulled you over for modified exhaust either way they’re gonna state ref with you refusing to open your hood or let them search your vehicle is not against the law. We have rights and they need to respect that they will eventually try to threaten you once you don’t give them access to searching your vehicle or open your hood they’ll tell you that they’re going to place you under arrest but in reality there is no solid legal reason to arrest you for refusing
Seems everyone forgets California has a new law that fines you a flat fee until the third time where it escalates to $1,500 just for having any exhaust that’s not stock. 😂
If a stock muffler is damaged, and the original is discontinued from the manufacturer, then an aftermarket replacement is the only option. That explanation got a young cop to stop mentioning "modified exhaust" to me once...plus I had license, current reg and insurance, and wasn't speeding or drinking. He got bored and just gave me "warnings"...
STOP with the "need probable cause for a search" crap, all you TH-cam attorneys. It is not a 4A search, it is a compliance inspection, and only applies to the mechanical areas covered by whatever emissions laws apply. Getting into your trunk or passenger compartment are not the same as popping the hood where these inspection laws apply. I'm not completely familiar with California emissions laws, but California vehicle registrations probably have some level of implied consent. It's just like some states have implied consent regarding your license, where you can be compelled to provide a sample of your breath (or even blood). If you refuse, expect your license to be suspended and possibly criminal charges if you fight with police to resist the seizure of your breath or blood. You can absolutely refuse to pop the hood in this scenario, but expect your registration to be revoked on the spot and your car towed, and maybe even an obstruction charge. There is no Constitutional right to operate a motor vehicle on a public roadway. I'm betting you'd put your tongue to leather for a few minutes to keep your car as well. The true solution to this level of harassment and highway robbery is to stop voting for the people who make these laws (hint: they feel the same way about guns). In the meantime, there are 49 other states that don't do this.
Man that absolutely sucks! I know you say it’s not a big deal to swap on the stock exhaust but in all honestly this is not right. It’s a power overreach. I miss weather and food in California but I certainly don’t miss the fear of popping the hood.
Cops aren't trained refs. So this cop is a fool for trying to ref a vehicle not knowing what is legal or not legal on vehicle. Embarrassing to say illegal when it's totally stock. Idiot lying cop should be FIRED! And charged for harassment!
It’s really not that bad in CA I drove my modified Sti in CA for two years never was hassled about it. The catback I had was 91 db and I kept a decibel meter in my glove box in case anyone wanted to check. I had a carb sticker for my intake, turbo inlet, aos, and after market bpv, I also printed out a correspondence I had with the state ref saying that my after market tmic was legal and didn’t require a carb sticker. Car had a good amount of cosmetic mods on coils and some after market wheels. The cops never hassled me in SoCal.
Recently visited cali for a week in my stage 2+ sti. Loud af with dark tinted windows and didn’t get pulled over once. I was surprised. Guess it just matters where you go
@@flappymeatcakes well I mean if you had out of state plates and are visiting/ passing through they can’t cite you for things that are legal in your home state. I was recently there for the holidays with my 22 explorer st, tint all around, 3in turbo back exhaust Loud AF , and no front plate. They left us alone.
@@flappymeatcakesive seen videos where CA cops are ignorant to that fact and still state reffed and threatened to tow cars that were out of state i just wish those cops would because that paycheck from the lawsuit would be massive
@@flappymeatcakes it really just depends, I was pulled over going to a meet with 5% tint on my windows, a muffler, delete, non-car legal intake, and the only ticket I got was a failure to abide by traffic signs because I crossed a double white line to park at the meet, another time I got pulled over to 93 in a 45, that car had a muffler, delete non-carb legal colder intake, and a tune. Was let go with a warning. It all depends on the officer that pulls you over. First one was straight team for RSO so I’m surprised I didn’t state reffed. The second was a city police officer, dude was really cool. I was completely honest with him that I was just testing out the vehicle with my buddy and he let me go.
As someone who lost someone while riding, to a semi, that driver should have to explain to the riders family why he was on the wrong side of the road and why their family member never made it home
Another reason to why not to live in CA. Plus, they do this because it brings money to the state which pays their salary. Just like their rules of not arresting people for stealing. Doesn't bring in money, so its not worth it to them to do anything.
Screw california car rule and regulations what's the whole point of having a project car if you can't put high performance parts on your vehicle I'm glad I live in Arizona
THERE'S A DAM C.A.R.B. sticker. Wow these guys are LITTERLY WAISTING your time. They LEGALLY can't ticket you if there's a CARB sticker... THAT JUDGE IS GOING TO BE PISSED at him for waisting the COURTS TIME.
An air filter is NOT an emissions sytem nor is affiliated with the emissions system... Cops are only permitted to state ref emission altering devices when inspecting a vehicle. Emissins also include sound. But, the officer must prove your vehicle is above the sound level with a DB reader... I believe it's 95 DB at 3,000 RPM in Calif. Them pulling you over for sound proves their lack of... Education and should diswarrant their ability to inspect any vehicle for emissions... If your Mass air flow sensor is stock, you can replace your intake hoses/pipes. The material of pipes/hoses does not warrent an emission failure in any state or reality.
What’s the vehicle code he wrote for the exhaust? Was it VC 27151? No decibel tests were done? I would just contest this Maybe with a demurrer. I’d State that a governing body within the state (CARB) allows the modifications to exhaust and intake systems, the enforcement should be fair and consistent. This brings up a concern with the fourteenth amendment mostly and secondary a fourth amendment concern that there was no RAS for the stop since its been established modifications to exhaust and intake systems are allowed by the state and this was the officers sole reason for the stop.
The hell with the border fence, just fence in Cali call it a day, and keep it moving. Its amazing living in Florida, we don't have to worry about this nonsense, stores aint getting ransacked, great weather yet no homeless encampments. LOL, I wonder what the main difference is lol ??
i got state ref'd and the cop didnt care i had a carb sticker for the intake. he claimed "so you have a carb sticker, but the filter is not enclosed, it doesnt matter if its carb legal if its not enclosed" he spent a whole 9 seconds to look under the hood. i posted a video up about it. currently waiting on the outcome from a traffic lawyer to have it dismissed and im consulting with a civil rights attorney as well since everything about the stop infringed upon my rights. basically, he didnt have a legitimate reason to stop me to begin with other than profiling me for visible visual modifications which are completely legal.
a freaking cat-back gets you written up?! that whole state needs to slide off the coast with the idiots that has made that state the mockery it is now.
I’m removing my twins and going single. Probably going to register my car in another state. I keep seeing a lot of people getting state reffed. It’s getting ridiculous
I am a mod freak. Yet. I refuse to do that to my own personal vehicles. Because I know law enforcement doesn't have the IQ themselves to do it and all they do is go around stealing everyone's moded vehicles so they can have one. I refuse to give away free anything to law enforcement.
California is getting insane on cars. If I was in Cali, all my trucks and cars would get state ref'd. Glad I'm in Utah now. Easier here to have stuff you want. Good luck with your adventures
What was the fix it ticket for. Cat back exhaust is completely legal in California. It has nothing to do with emissions, and as long as it’s under decibel level you’re all good.
this is RSO aka riverside street racing task force they're known to pull anyone over for and popping hoods even if you are driving normally. They will profile you just because you drive a car known in the car scene.
My standards are so low I'm almost just happy one of the two cops actually put in the tiny bit of effort to use the pdf reader's search function like an adult before going to write a ticket. Ego tripping nonsense with no regard for how dumb, nit picky tickets can have a substantial impact on someone, let alone freaking the poor kid out because the cop can't use common sense (really expect zero approved lexus intakes, yet they had toyota intakes on there?!). My state is starting to go the cali route for emissions and that worries me
Wow, you guys in Cali need to stand up for your rights when you get pulled over for BS it is a clear violation of your 5th and 14th Amendment rights. And he pulled you over with no reasonable or articulable suspicion that you have, will, or committed a crime !!!
Homeless in the street Doing drugs in the street Taking a dump in the street Cops: Nothing to see here Nice car with aftermarket parts Cops: oh, revenue stop
Last time I drove through California they tried this crap on me. “Gonna refer me to the state ref, but my truck is tagged in Texas where I live. I said ok, and never paid it any more attention.
That is a case of profiling, based on the style of car you’re driving and your age. I would also recommend you not speaking as much or volunteering as much information as you did, because officer is just going to use it to right a bigger ticket.
Bro that same cop wrote me a fix it ticket for having a clear license plate cover while I was IN UNIFORM. Rside county EMT. Then he tried to give me problems about my tint. Glad he didn’t look under my hood! 😂 such a waste of our tax money
I wouldn’t put up with this garbage that is why so many people are moving out of California it sucks then they end up voting the same way and make it worse everywhere else
You dont need to fix the exhaust if its just an axle back, take the car to carb/ bar they actually know how cars works and arent uneducated cops working on commission. They should dismiss that ticket
Crazy how it’s so different around Cali. In Oakland they don’t give two shits what you have as long as you’re not shooting a gun while doing the donut 😂😂😂
California is the only state to have border inspection that is supposedly to prevent pest invasion. But if you buy any fruit or vegetables you'd know it's just to keep out competition. Cross the border into Oregon or Nevada, and prices are cheaper for fruits and vegetables. Also, the insane laws for any modifications for cars. I'd stay away from that state.
It amazes me that in California you can walk into a store, steal anything as long as it's under $1000 & the cops won't investigate or arrest, but a loud exhaust gives them license to harass or fine people doing nothing harmful. If I lived there, I couldn't leave that state fast enough.

@@925Eric Sure, if you're a Trumptard.
The ticket he gave you is invalid. A police officer cannot issue a citation for modified exhaust just because it looks modded. He has to prove it is, and test if it is above 95db. If he cannot prove its above 95db legally he cannot write you a ticket.
He admited it was
Wrong. Cvc 27150 just states excessively loud.
She is correct to a certain extent depending on the db level
He can prove if is less than db95 he would not get a ticket all he has to do is prove that db level is not above the 95db level and bring that to court and he is good
Can’t imagine living in a state where cops pull you over for this silly crap.
The real question is why you would live in a Fascist state where they can arrest you for altering your own property and literally just leaving your home to get some food or go to work.
Trust me alot of people are using the little money they have left after how cali has become and are moving away. Alot of them sell their homes and use the left over money to settle in somewhere else
bro some of us don't have a choice lmao
Born here it’s a little tough to move out when ur whole family lives here u act like it’s simple plus gl saving up money to move when ur paying hella expensive rent
A clear example of policing for profit.
Why go stop shoplifting, muggings or other serious crimes when you can pull over and ticket a well-off guy and steal his money!?!
That deputy was so desperate to show you who was in charge. He wasn't going to stop nit picking till he found something to get you on. With all the trouble and crimes that go on in that county, he's looking for car mods. 🤨
Meanwhile someone is being robbed of their possessions and the pigs are out worried about modified cars, thays why i say never depend on the police, they are against the people.
Most useless cops ever. They couldn't pay me to live in Cali with all that anti-car enthusiast bs.
Same thing happened to me in Temecula, got state reffed with carb legal sticker on my intake, and for a muffler delete on my Z. Around here they got nothing better to do but state ref you for some stupid shi. Literally chillin driving home from work lol
it’s crazy man 😂
happened to a friend of mine with his mk4 r32. cop followed him home with the reason that there have been complaints for "racing" and that his car fit the "description"
I mean a muffler delete would do it. Even if it’s not over 95db you have to have a working muffler on the car unfortunately.
@@lucian7182 i have a muffler and resonator still
@@noahjz_ I was responding to the guy who made the comment about getting written up for his muffler delete.
I feel sorry for you guys with all of the crime that happens out in California they actually have police that go around chasing after guys car parts wow
9:28 HE WAS SO HAPPY he didn’t even take 1/2 a second.
Man, it sucks to be a car guy in California.
I’ve been state reffed before all I can tell you is fully cooperate with them but do not consent to searches and do not open your hood if they pulled you over for modified exhaust either way they’re gonna state ref with you refusing to open your hood or let them search your vehicle is not against the law. We have rights and they need to respect that they will eventually try to threaten you once you don’t give them access to searching your vehicle or open your hood they’ll tell you that they’re going to place you under arrest but in reality there is no solid legal reason to arrest you for refusing
Seems everyone forgets California has a new law that fines you a flat fee until the third time where it escalates to $1,500 just for having any exhaust that’s not stock. 😂
If a stock muffler is damaged, and the original is discontinued from the manufacturer, then an aftermarket replacement is the only option. That explanation got a young cop to stop mentioning "modified exhaust" to me once...plus I had license, current reg and insurance, and wasn't speeding or drinking. He got bored and just gave me "warnings"...
??? The only restrictions on exhaust are a 95dba limit according to a non-public SAE standard.
the bootlicking was craaazy. an exhaust ticket does not justify a search. defend your rights brotha
STOP with the "need probable cause for a search" crap, all you TH-cam attorneys. It is not a 4A search, it is a compliance inspection, and only applies to the mechanical areas covered by whatever emissions laws apply. Getting into your trunk or passenger compartment are not the same as popping the hood where these inspection laws apply. I'm not completely familiar with California emissions laws, but California vehicle registrations probably have some level of implied consent. It's just like some states have implied consent regarding your license, where you can be compelled to provide a sample of your breath (or even blood). If you refuse, expect your license to be suspended and possibly criminal charges if you fight with police to resist the seizure of your breath or blood. You can absolutely refuse to pop the hood in this scenario, but expect your registration to be revoked on the spot and your car towed, and maybe even an obstruction charge. There is no Constitutional right to operate a motor vehicle on a public roadway. I'm betting you'd put your tongue to leather for a few minutes to keep your car as well. The true solution to this level of harassment and highway robbery is to stop voting for the people who make these laws (hint: they feel the same way about guns). In the meantime, there are 49 other states that don't do this.
Man that absolutely sucks! I know you say it’s not a big deal to swap on the stock exhaust but in all honestly this is not right. It’s a power overreach. I miss weather and food in California but I certainly don’t miss the fear of popping the hood.
One of the many, many, many reasons to not live there...
I remember Xavier Wulf in a 240sx at car meets in CT a few years ago
When did cops become certified auto technicians
Honestly its out of control. We need to petition the state about this or do some kind of a lawsuit against them
I couldn't stand to live in a city with noise pollution laws. I'll stick to my mountains any day.
Yo have u tested the exhaust for how much decibals it produces? 95 n below should be legal for cali exhaust sound law.
yeah im confised why he got a ticket at all if his car isnt that loud and he onyl has a catback
Someone could be robbing that store right next to you and they couldn't care any less, because modified cars are worse than actual crime.
Got nothing better to do 😂crazyyy
As described, this was an illegal stop and an unconstitutional interaction.
Cops aren't trained refs. So this cop is a fool for trying to ref a vehicle not knowing what is legal or not legal on vehicle. Embarrassing to say illegal when it's totally stock. Idiot lying cop should be FIRED! And charged for harassment!
I couldnt live in a state like that. Absolutely insane
What a WASTE OF TIME AND A LAW! They just HAD to do something. P A T H E T I C! This is why people dislike Police! YET ANOTHER REASON!
It’s really not that bad in CA I drove my modified Sti in CA for two years never was hassled about it. The catback I had was 91 db and I kept a decibel meter in my glove box in case anyone wanted to check. I had a carb sticker for my intake, turbo inlet, aos, and after market bpv, I also printed out a correspondence I had with the state ref saying that my after market tmic was legal and didn’t require a carb sticker. Car had a good amount of cosmetic mods on coils and some after market wheels. The cops never hassled me in SoCal.
Recently visited cali for a week in my stage 2+ sti. Loud af with dark tinted windows and didn’t get pulled over once. I was surprised. Guess it just matters where you go
@@flappymeatcakes well I mean if you had out of state plates and are visiting/ passing through they can’t cite you for things that are legal in your home state. I was recently there for the holidays with my 22 explorer st, tint all around, 3in turbo back exhaust Loud AF , and no front plate. They left us alone.
@@lucian7182 Hmm makes sense 🤔 good to know for future reference
@@flappymeatcakesive seen videos where CA cops are ignorant to that fact and still state reffed and threatened to tow cars that were out of state i just wish those cops would because that paycheck from the lawsuit would be massive
@@flappymeatcakes it really just depends, I was pulled over going to a meet with 5% tint on my windows, a muffler, delete, non-car legal intake, and the only ticket I got was a failure to abide by traffic signs because I crossed a double white line to park at the meet, another time I got pulled over to 93 in a 45, that car had a muffler, delete non-carb legal colder intake, and a tune. Was let go with a warning. It all depends on the officer that pulls you over.
First one was straight team for RSO so I’m surprised I didn’t state reffed. The second was a city police officer, dude was really cool. I was completely honest with him that I was just testing out the vehicle with my buddy and he let me go.
good way on handling that young man... never know some of these mentally ill cops.. smh
goodluck with the coming up mods!
As someone who lost someone while riding, to a semi, that driver should have to explain to the riders family why he was on the wrong side of the road and why their family member never made it home
Another reason to why not to live in CA. Plus, they do this because it brings money to the state which pays their salary. Just like their rules of not arresting people for stealing. Doesn't bring in money, so its not worth it to them to do anything.
Screw california car rule and regulations what's the whole point of having a project car if you can't put high performance parts on your vehicle I'm glad I live in Arizona
THERE'S A DAM C.A.R.B. sticker. Wow these guys are LITTERLY WAISTING your time. They LEGALLY can't ticket you if there's a CARB sticker... THAT JUDGE IS GOING TO BE PISSED at him for waisting the COURTS TIME.
An air filter is NOT an emissions sytem nor is affiliated with the emissions system... Cops are only permitted to state ref emission altering devices when inspecting a vehicle. Emissins also include sound. But, the officer must prove your vehicle is above the sound level with a DB reader... I believe it's 95 DB at 3,000 RPM in Calif. Them pulling you over for sound proves their lack of... Education and should diswarrant their ability to inspect any vehicle for emissions... If your Mass air flow sensor is stock, you can replace your intake hoses/pipes. The material of pipes/hoses does not warrent an emission failure in any state or reality.
What’s the vehicle code he wrote for the exhaust? Was it VC 27151? No decibel tests were done?
I would just contest this
Maybe with a demurrer.
I’d State that a governing body within the state (CARB) allows the modifications to exhaust and intake systems, the enforcement should be fair and consistent. This brings up a concern with the fourteenth amendment mostly and secondary a fourth amendment concern that there was no RAS for the stop since its been established modifications to exhaust and intake systems are allowed by the state and this was the officers sole reason for the stop.
The hell with the border fence, just fence in Cali call it a day, and keep it moving. Its amazing living in Florida, we don't have to worry about this nonsense, stores aint getting ransacked, great weather yet no homeless encampments. LOL, I wonder what the main difference is lol ??
i got state ref'd and the cop didnt care i had a carb sticker for the intake. he claimed "so you have a carb sticker, but the filter is not enclosed, it doesnt matter if its carb legal if its not enclosed" he spent a whole 9 seconds to look under the hood. i posted a video up about it. currently waiting on the outcome from a traffic lawyer to have it dismissed and im consulting with a civil rights attorney as well since everything about the stop infringed upon my rights. basically, he didnt have a legitimate reason to stop me to begin with other than profiling me for visible visual modifications which are completely legal.
Saying “Thank you” is crazy
a freaking cat-back gets you written up?! that whole state needs to slide off the coast with the idiots that has made that state the mockery it is now.
Same problem here in Germany, driving a modified car seems more illegal than punching someone in the hospital
Just tell them your a Migrant.
I’m removing my twins and going single. Probably going to register my car in another state. I keep seeing a lot of people getting state reffed. It’s getting ridiculous
You can still get state refed if it's stock. The car gets sent back to the manufacturer to either be made legal or you get monetary compensation.
One of the highest state tax but completely useless governments officials 😂
California.
The sad cries of a once great car modding state.
I am a mod freak. Yet. I refuse to do that to my own personal vehicles. Because I know law enforcement doesn't have the IQ themselves to do it and all they do is go around stealing everyone's moded vehicles so they can have one. I refuse to give away free anything to law enforcement.
I’m sure they went the extra mile to make sure they left you with something just for their egos sake
commifornia ... were its ok to modified your gender , not your car
California is getting insane on cars. If I was in Cali, all my trucks and cars would get state ref'd. Glad I'm in Utah now. Easier here to have stuff you want. Good luck with your adventures
I always lived in California and never been stopped for having no muffler.
Currently 2023 Ram 5.7 with no muffler. Nice and Loud.
They won't do anything about $900 theft or homelessness or gangs because those things are actually hard or dangerous to solve
Rso team is thirsty.. they are un educated when it comes to knowing emissions .
What was the fix it ticket for. Cat back exhaust is completely legal in California. It has nothing to do with emissions, and as long as it’s under decibel level you’re all good.
this is RSO aka riverside street racing task force they're known to pull anyone over for and popping hoods even if you are driving normally. They will profile you just because you drive a car known in the car scene.
Yup that’s called PC
My standards are so low I'm almost just happy one of the two cops actually put in the tiny bit of effort to use the pdf reader's search function like an adult before going to write a ticket. Ego tripping nonsense with no regard for how dumb, nit picky tickets can have a substantial impact on someone, let alone freaking the poor kid out because the cop can't use common sense (really expect zero approved lexus intakes, yet they had toyota intakes on there?!). My state is starting to go the cali route for emissions and that worries me
That's ridiculous man that they would give a ticket just because it's not on the list.
When all of you start to realize that this game is taxation by misrepresentation.
This car owner is so poorly educated on dealing with police. NEVER TALK TO COPS.
Wow, you guys in Cali need to stand up for your rights when you get pulled over for BS it is a clear violation of your 5th and 14th Amendment rights. And he pulled you over with no reasonable or articulable suspicion that you have, will, or committed a crime !!!
They find it easier to harass car hobbyists instead of dealing with the drug and theft epidemic 😂
Everyone can use drugs, but not everyone can use a fast car
Homeless in the street
Doing drugs in the street
Taking a dump in the street
Cops: Nothing to see here
Nice car with aftermarket parts
Cops: oh, revenue stop
“Who bought em?”🤣
why do people modify their cars knowing damn well California has strict emission laws.
Last time I drove through California they tried this crap on me. “Gonna refer me to the state ref, but my truck is tagged in Texas where I live. I said ok, and never paid it any more attention.
In SC there’s no such thing as EmMiSiONs. That’s why everyone drive classic cars out here
That is a case of profiling, based on the style of car you’re driving and your age. I would also recommend you not speaking as much or volunteering as much information as you did, because officer is just going to use it to right a bigger ticket.
Just to be clear. He pulled you over because the is300 looks modded when it's stock. And it's awesome.
You can legally modify your exhaust as long as you dont modify your emissions a.k.a cat.
Imagine getting a ticket for an exhaust in the same state where homeless burn trash on sidewalks.
Bro that same cop wrote me a fix it ticket for having a clear license plate cover while I was IN UNIFORM. Rside county EMT. Then he tried to give me problems about my tint. Glad he didn’t look under my hood! 😂 such a waste of our tax money
he wanted to know who bought those headers so bad loll
I wouldn’t put up with this garbage that is why so many people are moving out of California it sucks then they end up voting the same way and make it worse everywhere else
Id probably get so annoyed that i would move
You dont need to fix the exhaust if its just an axle back, take the car to carb/ bar they actually know how cars works and arent uneducated cops working on commission. They should dismiss that ticket
This is what they are worried about in California……explains a lot
I have no respect for cops who try this hard to enforce such goofy laws.
Lol the cops just saying their gay without saying it😂 the bad gay not just regular gay 😂😂😂
fyi stop telling your life to the cop they are not your friends. You can possible be in incriminating yourself
he asked me where i was going smh i just cut that part out
This is how it works in whole of Europe.
Crazy how it’s so different around Cali. In Oakland they don’t give two shits what you have as long as you’re not shooting a gun while doing the donut 😂😂😂
all for an intake is so dumb like they rlly got nothing better to do
California is the only state to have border inspection that is supposedly to prevent pest invasion. But if you buy any fruit or vegetables you'd know it's just to keep out competition. Cross the border into Oregon or Nevada, and prices are cheaper for fruits and vegetables. Also, the insane laws for any modifications for cars. I'd stay away from that state.
