I would've been like, I don't give a **** what you estimated, it's what the radar say's that counts!

and plus, their not even specific on the laws. how many percent tint on rear?
a car cant be too low... how about those trucks being too dam high?
my dad has a 4runner with a huge ass steel grill on the front of his suv thats probably weighs 20lbs... if he were to have an head on collision with 2dr coupe, that grill would go straight thru the drivers face.
"Illegal lights, whether or not they are operating. It is illegal just to have them on the vehicle (24003 VC). " <-- wtf are they talkin about?

"Illegal decorative lights (24003 VC). All flashing decorative lights are illegal (25250 VC). " hazard lights look cool...

theirs so much to say... california is going to far with the driving rules/laws.

their probably gonna ban spinners now for "distraction to driver on road for having amazing wheels".


oh yea, i seen fools who drive and open their doors for fun, is that breaking the law? if yes, which one.

thanks.

Since they're strict on gun laws...next thing u know people will be killing eachother with stick and stones! LOL!

Even tho I dont live in cali... I think that cops pull some people over just for the heck of it. so they can give all of us hard times. I have been pulled over once for missing a front license and i got a warning. and a couple of times for passing the curfew before, and still got warnings. I dunno man, they're just there looking for people who drives fixed up cars.

After reading all this... i don't know if i want to move there anymore.... i would have to change everything on my car... and i'm all ready to check out the racing scene out there in LA... any suggestions?

so, according to them any tint in the front 3 windows is illegal?
it said that it is only legal BEHIND the drivers head.

also, it didnt say anyhting about neons, only that flassing lights are always illegal.

A cop telling the truth?

I dont know about the 12+ mph to avoid pictures from the red light camera but at 40mph your moving 58ft/sec and at 52mph your moving 76ft/sec. given an intersection is what 80-100 ft, your moving 46% faster than your susposto. I have no clue what speed the camera shutter speed is but if it is set at anything over 500th of a sec then chances are your plates will come up clear. I think the cop has been lying.

has it ever dawned on you that you may need to re-evaluate your driving habits or the legality of your car? ill give you the benefit of the doubt and say maybe 1 or 2 of them were just dicks, but 32.....

Re: ****California Laws for Import mods and street racing***

yea i think 32 is a bit to many.
in the south like the country.
cops don't stop you for anything really.
unless its really dull like no major events occurin in the news it seems like.
idk when everythings all peaceful and all they pull u over but like if theres like a war or somethin big they just let you pass by nd keep on racin or w/e
ha i had a cop go about 85 90 passed me takin his kid to school.
i was goin about 75 80 nd thats in a 45.
so yea cops here are sorta lenyant or however u spell that
