Believe it or not that's up to you.
I have been pulled over for "speeding" (i wasn't) with an off duty cop (my EX) in the car. the officer who pulled me over had an attitude and seemed like someone had crapped in his sandwich and he was about to crap in mine. He Gave me the riot act about how fast i was going and how its unsafe and so on (i let him say his piece even tho i knew he was full of crap) It was and still is funny how the officer changed his attitude once my EX identified herself. My license was handed back to me and we were told to have a nice night, NO ticket nothing.
Being pulled over in Milpitas for exhaust or any type of vehicle mod and being let go with out a ticket is damn near a miracle. Count your lucky stars go buy a lotto ticket and chock that one up as WINNING!!

Word. Should see the way they respond to my brother in law when he hands them his business card instead of his license. He's a LEO. He actually got nailed the other day. Didn't give him a ticket but he made a notation on his file so if he gets pulled over again and someone sees it he'll probably get a ticket. Probably more embarrassing for him than just getting the ticket.
I got pulled over in fremont one time and the officer was so mad and yelling at me so much he was spitting on me. The dude illegally merged in to me and I had to drive on the center divide to keep him from hitting me. He blamed it on me and I got a failure to merge or some ****. My first ticket ever. I should have fought it but my parents told me just to go to traffic school. I always thought the car that had a 2 car lead when the lanes started to merge had the right away. Guess it's o.k. to smash pass someone and force them off the road.
I got so pissed i nearly punched the dude in the face. I am very fortunate I had a girl with me who saw my veins popping and literally grabbed my forearm.
Was a different guy back then.

I got pulled over at that exact light. Got pulled over for running a red. Funny thing is, the officer (s) didn't tell me why they pulled me over until they had me out of the car for well over an hour, had searched my truck and threatened to arrest me several times.
I NEVER ran the light. I was sitting at the light. It turned green. I drove away. I later proved that it takes longer to get through that intersection than the yellow light lasts. So it is possible to leave on a green and have it read before you're totally out of the intersection. I won. No tickets.
Dude swore I was on meth. Had two cop cars. Dented my glove box. Left crap all over my car. Said I was nervous because I was shivering and moving so much. Was friggin COLD. It was after midnight in like February. Jackasses.

I've denied a cop, had to wait like 45mins for another officer to show up and then he made me pop my hood. I had a catback Borla Hush, which wasn't even loud. Once they opened my hood and saw nothing was illegal, they still wrote me a ticket for my muffler! If you've heard a Borla Hush, you know how quite it is.
Your best bet is to be as polite and courteous. The cop doesn't want to be there and if you're nice, respectful, and cooperate you have a much better chance of driving off without a ticket than you do by being a smart *** or stubborn.

Its like having carb legal mods and a book with all of your c.a.r.b. stickers and what the carb numbers are for. You still will get a ticket and have to go to court and waste time and money and in the end have it dismissed.. Ask me how i know....

ive had CHP pull me over 3 times(prior to my plates being blocked)
under my hood looks remotely stock. ive had all three ask me to start my car and rev it up. i explained im not obligated to cause undo stress to my car but he could gladly listen for me to pull away. normally by this point my DL has come back to my job and they tell me to have a nice day.

They'll search your car no matter what you do... You can disagree and not consent to the search but they will search your car if you like it or not.
The police are looking for probable cause and unless your car is 100% stock, you're parked and not in your car, then they will search your ish.
If it goes to court, it's your word against the officers and guess who always wins in the eyes of the judge? The police.
So in short, you're screwed no matter what. The only thing you can do is be smart like Manny was.

that's a guaranteed recipe for disaster if you respond with that...
they can/will just have your car towed to a lot for further inspection.
do you think they are going to just say, "ohh, okay, well you can go then" hahahah
you give them a hard time, they can and probably will make your life hell.

this.
The nicest cop will not accept that. A cop with ego might just go all out and ticket for anything and everything. If you lock your hood I cant see why he wouldnt tow it just to teach you a lesson. Is it right? ... doesnt matter. If you are told to pop the hood. POP IT.

Why do you think that is? BECAUSE no one stands up to their civil liberties anymore. Hell if I'm going to let a government employee (of which I am one) search my vehicle without a warrant or due cause. If they do I'm going to be a millionaire and retire after the lawsuit.
Pulled over, pull off as quickly and safe as you can.
Crack your windows,
turn car off, key on dash, hands on steering wheel.
Say Good afternoon, Why did you stop me today officer?
---- Do not fall for they questions designed to get you
If they ask you to step out. close the door and lock the car putting keys in your pockets. Ask them why they have detained you. And ask if you are under arest.
They can not search your car at that point. Only can stick their head in a down window, If they smell or see anything, But be locking your car and having the windows cracked, You take their key tools away from them. Talking to them is the other key tool they have. There are times to just close your mouths. Police man that just pulled you over is not your friend.
Ankles... Are they sore yet?
I have a friend whos brother is an officer. he was pulled over for his exhaust. The officer asked him to step out of the car but before stepping out to pop his hood. His brother told him not to and proceeded to ask the officer why he has to step out of the car and pop his hood. The officer puffed up his chest got on his soap box and went on about how he is an officer and has the right and how dare he question him and his authority. After the officer ran out of breath saying everything my friends brother pulled out his badge and said are you sure you know what your talking about? The officer handed my friend back his License, reg and insurance, said have a nice day and walked away. They both said the look on his face was priceless and they wish they would have gotten that recorded.
Correction. Your vehicle is technically private property, you are governed by private property laws until you remove yourself from your vehicle.
If you give them due cause they can search anything they want, but IF they ask to search you can refuse it based on the 4th.
Now if you're out tooling around with a stupid loud exhaust and you look like a road racer that is illegal 'looking' then they have due cause which removes your right to plead the 4th.
Also the castle doctrine says you can protect your private property, your vehicle is an extension of your private property as a private citizen you own it thus making it 'private property'.

no because (other mods in the engine bay) are not visible from eye view without the hood popped. They can ticket you for a modified exhaust but they cant tell if its catted or not without 1) going under the car, which theyre too lazy to, 2) you consent to opening your hood which you can deny if you like.
Only reason this is a valid claim is because they have to ASK you to open you hood. You have the choice to deny that. If its not in sight of the naked eye you're fine, unless they possibly state, it smells like fuel. Goes in line with you opening the window and it wreak of weed, gives them enough suspicion. Going back to search anything that's not in the scope of the original suspicion, THEY CANNOT. Just because your engine is modded doesn't mean they can assume you're a drug dealer and call for a full car search.. At that point call superiors and deal with them with a lawyer. LEO's do not have every right over you.
Oh and after some research this is no CVC for vehicle search, which can be at LEO discretion if I'm correct so you can deny nothing can force you.

There better be some big grounds for his to move forward on his point. Least if you are 100% legal. I always keep my cell phone dialed to my VM when being pulled over. Records the whole stop. Also a good lawyer can get dash cam video as well. As long as you keep your cool you are golden. If you tune Oscar Grant well you are on your own.
