got pulled over last night
so i got pulled over last night around 2am. reason i got pulled over for was "he suspects that i have illegal modifications". so the officer asked if he can see my drivers license and what i had under the hood. i told him an intake "comptech w/ carb sticker" so he asked me to pop my hood. he was like.."so whats at the end of this thing?" i told him "a filter...." but i wasnt being a smart ass or anything. so he was snoopin around in my engine bay..ask me a few quetions on some other stuff and didnt even noticed my headers. he told me..well..i got some good news and bad news..the good news is..im suppose to tow your car for modified intake, but im not. bad news is..you'll have to go to a state ref. for further inspection and have them sign you off. so he gave me my ticket and and said im good to go. wrote me down for modified intake (which is f**kin carb'd) 
and not my exhaust which is totally noticable. WTF!! so now ill have to take off my header, testpipe and exhaust. what a f**kin hassle.

Reading this really got me angry.
Why should we get ticketed for an intake? Its a pipe that sucks up air as opposed to a box that sucks up air. What's the big deal?
I understand that they are trying to crack down on street racing but this is not the correct approach. The few irresponsible idiots out there are ruining it for those of us who are enjoying our vehicles legally and responsibly.
This is getting out of hand. We are losing our rights to personalize and enjoy our vehicles. We live in a supposed democracy, a government BY the people FOR the people. Did you ask for legislation against having aftermarket parts? I sure as hell did not.
I think it's important to stay informed and that we rule our government and not the other way around (yes, I'm well aware of the irony of that statement!).
Please take a moment to show your support and join the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA). They provide valuable information that we can all use to help put an end to this type of legal harrassment.
