I grew up in Alameda and go back all the time and can attest that they are jerks.
Only reason I never get in trouble there is because my best friend's dad is a cop there, they know my car well. I've never been pulled over in Alameda/Oakland.

modified smog- turbo timer
loud exhaust - baffle removed
and
8-5.3aml Speed
apperently the speeding was brought down to a municipal violation and not a moving violation so it doesn't get reported to the DMV or my insurance.
Oh they also said that they wanted me to open my hood cause I had a fancy intake on the hood and they didn't want to break it.
They has me there for about 30 to 40 minutes.

i hate the cops in the bay area period, both times i was there with my rex i got pulled over twice in one weekend and my hood popped! luckly they let me go with a warning both times! at that time i had a catback and cold air(which is CARB exempt) but still the california police system is trying every way to get money! gay! glad im in Nevada now where they dont care what your DB level is as long as your not speeding, oh and you can pass catless here as long as you dont have the check engine light on! loving it here...lol

I love the cops in SF. Ive had a few stop and ask me about my car to learn more... I got pulled over once for making a wrong turn down a one-way and they pulled me over reminded me about my seatbelt and told me to drive safer next time.
The SF cops all seem like they want to help you, rather than harrass you...

Coming back from alameda thru the tunnel and they said I was speeding then they said from what they seen they had reason to belive my car was highly modified and they inspected my car in the end they got me for my exhaust and said the turbo timer was illegal in the state of california. Weak.

What were they going to do, ask you to register it in CA on the spot so they can ticket you? Morons.

yeah i work in the Harbor Bay Parkway business buildings in Alameda and there is always a cop just posted right across the Raiders headquaters! i didn't know about it when i first started working there and got a ticket! they really don't have any thing better to do! and by the way SF cops do seem to be more laid back on Suby's

I know in some areas... like new jersey, you can't leave your car parked and idling for smog reasons but it's not a "modified" smog deal.
hmmmm.
they sending you to a ref or letting you do a write off correction?
