Sunnyvale PD?
Family just moved to the area, anything I should know about the Sunnyvale PD for when I visit? It's not like I speed or anything, but are they uber **** about mods? Any places they tend to hide and wait?

Lawl. Sunnyvale is just about the quietest town in the Bay.
But, in turn, you get a lot of cops with downtime enough to spot and ticket you for modifications to your vehicle.
As far as hiding goes - they frequent the schools in the area and love to patrol suburban neighborhoods and wait for unsuspecting motorists to barrel out.

I really don't speed, so its not like they are going to catch me going 50 through the neighborhood! I was just wondering about analness in regards to exhaust (I have a Cobb CBE and crucial DP)

Hahaha, nice! Hopefully I never run into that! It's cool to know that they actually go though the formalities rather than the officer's opinion.

You won't be saying its 'nice' when it takes them almost an hour to pull you over and either write a ticket or let you go.
Especially if you have to take a ****.

No, I'm sure I wouldn't like it when it happened, but for them to go through that much effort would be funny after the fact. A buddy of mine was stopped for 45 minutes with the CHP officers because the first two didn't know what the adjustable aftermarket BPV was. Well, they "knew" but wanted to "confirm" it with another officer (who we gather had an SRT-4).

That being said, I lived in Sunnyvale for about 6 years and got a few tickets, but they were all for things I was doing wrong at the time.
I found the police to be more than fair, and I have always had modded/loud/non compliant though clearly not dangerous cars.

Hmm.. Why not, as you so often suggest, simply don't break the law?

I have been in PA for about 4 years and i have to say in the last year they have gotten more strict than they were the 3 years previous. Oh and do you have front plate on your car? That seems to be another issue they use out here to pull you over to begin with.
