"We're looking to make a heavy impact on revenue increases in this area," Sacramento Police Deputy Chief Steve Segura said during a press conference with local and state officials on Del Paso Road in North Natomas.
Later that day Police Deputy Chief Steve Segura and Sheriff Lou Blanas were reportedly seen at the local Harley Davidson store shopping for new bikes. Not only do they want a bike who's acceleration and loudness dwarf that of most modified cars, but they want to blend into the very biker crowd they've ignored since imports were first brought to the USDM.

I find this thread funny, not because of what they are doing but because I was pulled over on the way home from work.
I was accused of installing a rear spoiler that blocked view out the rear window and had my hood popped to see if there was anything illegal on the car. I was about to get a ticket until I produced the STI brochure in the glove box showing the wing as a factory item...
