They might as well give you a ticket for driving a certain make or model of car in their county.
Bafoons!

I just showed my gf and she said "it looks like they got their info from fast and the furious"

They should be looking for old beat up scrapers on 73" wheels ghost ridin the whip.

They should do a better job targeting drunk drivers than pulling over imports. This is really getting out of control. Looks like its time to move to the borla hush.

This is obviously more important than putting an end to the 60+ killings in Oakland this year. Cars with low profile tires are way more dangerous than drive-bys with AKs.

Seriously guys, the only reason why this is happening is because of F&F. Be happy, because for the next month or so, a lot of idiots will be trying to replicate what they see, and with more enforcement means more idiots off the street.

Sleeper FTW!!! (I've never been hassled by cops due to modifications)

ok. let me touch on this subject.
they are mixing like 10 different things.
Just cause you like to make your car look and sound nice doesnt mean you are a street racer.

and the sideshows are associated with a different community than street racing. Sideshows are scrapers whipping nuts, and stomping out cars that come by.

i wonder how big of dicks cops feel like when they pull over a 16 year old asian male in a red japan made car for no reason.

Probably not too bad when they somehow stick you with a ticket and make you go to court
