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

Uh yeh I agree about the law and cops being retarded in Cali..they'll give you a ticket or stop you for the littlest and randomest things..

My first ticket was for entering the left turn lane too early. I was 465 feet into the lane when you're supposedly only allowed to be 425 feet into that lane. Yeh I know..And since that was my first ticket ever, I just decided to pay it off and not even go to court..

My second one was for speeding and I got that ticket on a Friday, 3 days after my first one. I was going like 49 on a 35 but there was a car next to me going the same. Cops are just after the younger ones.

Then I got one that still hasn't been filed and nor do I think it'll be filed. I was actually racing but he wrote me down for unsafe lane changing. I could've gotten caught for a couple more things.. driving my friend's car, past curfew, having her {minor too} in the car, and speeding. He was nice enough to let me go. =]

Just yesterday I got one for passing a red light. The cop was such an *** because I said that I was just following the car in front of me and didn't realize it was red. He says "Well of course, you're not going to follow the car behind you. *smirk on his stupid face*"
I just looked at him like he was the most retarded thing I had ever seen and just looked away. I'm going to go to court for that one though..

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

When it comes it the police, I have two things to say, one: It doesn't matter what laws exist, they'll pull you over and write a ticket for whatever they want to. They do it hoping you don't research it and find out the truth. And two: For as long as people have hooked up cars, cops have been pulling them over, it's nothing new. I just follow the rules of the road and try to steer clear of trouble.

I know this is old just want to tell everyone. if you get pulled over and the cop tells you to pop your hood you DO NOT have to. That is illegal search of your property.

Not illegal to have a RHD car, but what's under the hood that'll come under scrutiny.
