I'm guessing when you pay the fine the ticket goes away but your car becomes classified as a gross pollutant. Which is a big no no in CA so they can tow your car and send it to the yard.

 

i thought after you pay, you're clear???

when i paid my last ref ticket, santa clara county as well, they mentioned my record was clear of that ticket.

i was talking to my co worker who is a san jose resident all her life, and she too agrees that SJPD is really strict.

 

sometimes I just want to purchase a 510 datsun and swap in an SR20 with open downpipe and drive around town @30mph in 2nd and be loud and obnoxious all over the place!
must be nice to say to the guy....sorry but the violations your trying to pin on me don't apply buddy...

 

really they dont?

 

yeah, some of the old cars made back in the day, smog and stuff dont apply to them

 

anythign older then 1975 is carb exempt

 

smog exempt yes, noise exempt no. if your car is excessively loud they can still get you for that. but im doing a side exit on my 72' toyota so that should be fun if they ever pop me hahaha


moral of the story, SPEED! your gonna get caught anyways might as well go out in a blaze of glory JK

 

SMOG no, but sound yes...

you can still get sited for modified exaust in a smog exempt vehicle

 

that's because, as we, the citizens, allow the government to become what they become.

remember your HISTORY class in HS...

the government is BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.

but what happens when the people decide to become passive about their government?

situations like this happens. that's why i keep saying, the only way to stop this crap from happening is to get the court to issue an injuction against the LE agency doing this.

what is an injunction? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injunction

unfortunately, this involves lawyers...

 

DING DING DING!!!!!!

we have a winner...

 

Wow no more Wing stop for my car lol. After I am done with my build I would not pass ref or smog if I spent $2000 lol

 

wow sorry to hear about this guys.

i hope you all get around it somehow

 

They really are cracking down now.

Every Sunday theres meets at Quicklys at Milpitas Square, and usually cops roll through to see if anyone does anything stupid, and sometimes people do and get caught. But tonight, they were out full force, pulling over modded cars left and right. They were just pouring in, then making circles back to catch other cars.

Looks like car meets will all die out now.

 

this profiling really stinks.

I heard that there was harrasment at HIN in Pleasanton this past weekend. What about the Goodguys? Wonder how many of them were pulled over???

Let's face it guys, we all have choices on what mods we make to our cars. If ur gonna make mods, then expect to face the consequences.

But if we are truly being profiled, then we need to get legal advice. Any law students out there?

Nuff said.

 

From what i heard about the HIN problems was that a STi and a Supra were both hit with state ref tickets...(herad through a friend, not sure where he heard).... that spread through the show later at night as the cars were leaving the show. There were tons of cops out in the parking lot, but fortunately from what we saw... we rolled right out with no problems... I myself left with so steezy and a friend of mine in his loud *** m45 and caravaned home with no problems.. knocked on wood before we left
