[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wolfie351: [QB] Having a tape recorder, video camera, etc is NOT going to prevent you being sent to a smog ref if a cop suspects you have illegal modifications. Even if you have ALL your CARB numbers in hand, a police officer can still send you to a referee. You'll say "but my car is 100% legal" Then the cop will say "then you'll have no problem passing" There is no hearing, there is no court date where you can plead your case. If you are given a citation, only then do you have recourse Having a loud exhuast (even if it's stock) is probable cause to make you pop your hood. It sucks, but it's true. San Mateo County is doing roadside checkpoints now for this very purpose. Do you think they are pulling over minivans? nope Is it random? nope They are targeting cars with aftermarket parts such as body kits, wheels or loud exhaust. Personally, I feel this is a rights violation, but as long as people are street racing, public opinion will NOT be on your side. Larry Elison, who is the freakin' richest man in the bay area, got busted for illegal modifications on his car. If his lawyers couldn't get him out of it... ps. 9 out of 10 smog techs will fail a BBK CAI. Wether it's legal or not, that's just how it is [/QB][/QUOTE]
