Got Ticket For Mods!

[khead717]

WTF?
a cop followed my friend's prelude to his house and then pulled him over and then gave him a ticket for the cold air intake, the exhaust, and the altezza lights!

aren't cops suppose to follow people who sell drugs or super gangsta whatever?

my friend and i are so f*ing pissed....just wanna share my feelings.

I know exactly what you mean I got pulled over 2 weeks ago on a Saturday night. I was getting ready to go cruzzin in Cleveland, our hot spot around here and less than a block before the exit I saw blue lights behind me and I thought it might have been for speeding but I was going the speed limit since the exit was coming up so I was expecting a him to try and give me a speeding ticket and I was going to rip it up and tell him to shove it. It turned out he pulled me over for my euros and the ticket I got for them was $141. I am going to take a pic of the IS300 tails and take it to court on april 15th and tell the judge how can the be illegal if these cars come with them form the factory. If anyone wants to give me ideas on what to say or take to court please tell cause I dont want to pay it.

If a pig ever gives me a stupid ticket like that im gonna go crazy like 2pac and go gasta style!:badass: :aug2: :rocket: :eshooter:

they arent illegal, but you have to see what the law says. some states don't allow modified tails, etc, but check it out...

go to www.sema.org, they should be able to get you the info that states what is not ticketable on your vehicle... intakes/exh, are not and the lights, if they are from a good company, should have a dot (dept of transportation) number on them, which means they are approved/legal. some have a sea number also, more evidence that the cops are profilin.

A ticket for the cold air intake? What law was he violating with a CAI??? Did the cop make him open the hood or something? If so, then someone needs some supervisor smackdown.

i would ticket someone if they had clear taillights and a fart cannon exhaust

*Thinks you should be taken to jail for Altezza lights... If your not driving an Altezza*



(Sorry Kris, I just had to :P)

The clear tail lights are flat out annoying, but I don't understand ticketing for all the other stuff.

[khead717]

yeah, sh*t. the first thing the cop did is to ask him to open his hood. I think that cop's probably done this kinda crap for a lot of times....

man, i dunno, i am scared to put stuff on my car now....i don't wanna get tickets man.

You get anal jerks in every job....too bad you found one who happens to be a cop!If your buddy was just mindin' his own biz,and not driving like Krusty,it sounds like he hit a plod with an attitude problem.

As for the serious biz of catching crims....Iwouldn't cross the street for the average cop's wage,there's no incentive in the job to do any more that stop traffic.

unless your cold air intake is hidin some illegal shit or can shoot out grenades, then i don't see how you could get pulled over by a cop for one....probably has some secret fear of imports because he got burnt by them or something....either that or he's on crack.....i'd still put a cold air intake in my car....and just to piss him off throw some NOS into the mix or get a carbon fiber hood or some Sparco bucket seats or something....i'd like to see the look on his face then

[jaxle]

but u can get ticketed for nos

[HogieGT-R]

not if mr. piggy doesn't see it...they have setups where you can't find them like the red mazda rx-7 with the veilside body kit that was featured in F&F and they have ones where you can have a quick shot of it if u have a little nos bottle under the dash or something, plus there's always the trunk. if i learned anything in 10th grade history, always put shit like beer and in this case nos, in the trunk cuz the cops can't search your trunk without probable cause....as for the red buttons and the momo fighter steering wheel however...you gotta be pretty tricky with that

One guy I heard about up here got pulled over for some BS reason, and the cop noticed a bottle where the back seats normally would be. He told the guy to open his hood, and the cop looked under his hood at all of the hoses and all of the NOS accessories. He then proceeded to his car, came back with a few tools, and ripped up all of the hoses, and ripped out all of the aftermarket parts and stuff under his hood, and then gave him a ticket for having the NOS.
Sometimes cops can be straight a$$holes. This isn't the first I've heard about cops doing this either. : :zx11pisse: I swear it pisses me off to hear about crap like this.
The guy couldn't fight it in court either because it was his word against 2 officer's words. His shit was messed up, and he had to pay all of the fines.
The law is freaking crooked.

[khead717]

yeah, i know what you mean man.

my friend is afraid putting more mod on his car now.....he doesn't want to get tickets again.
