Default got pulled over! carb# mean S*&#T?

hey guys,

im soo piss right now, i just got pulled over in west covina (by tab tuesday) for exhaust and front license plate. he told me to pop my hood, i told them that my supercharger and K&n filter has a carb number, and he said "carb number mean S#*T!, i can write you up for all that but i ran out of the other form"

wtf is that!!
and before i left he said "if i see your car like this again, i can impound your car, thats how we do it in west covina"

arrrgggggggg

gotta look for a stock exhaust now, damit

impound? w/ what? loud exhaust? unless ur running test-pipe. they can't just impound ur car. it has to be reasonable violation.

The cops dont care about CARB #'s, but judges do . If you bring the receipts and CARB paperork or CARB# number the ticket should be dissmissed. (Covina cops sound worse than HB or Newport cops... Isn't there any crime for them to prevent instead of #*@%ing with us!?!?!?!)

I a modified exhaust ticket while back and took the sales invoice for the exhaust and copy of the CARB paperwork (showed results of their decibel test) and the judge dissmissed the violation. I asked the judge what I can do to prevent this type of thing in the future and he said to put the stock exhaust back on the car

If you get a Ref ticket just pay the fine and leave it at that (meaning dont go to inspection). I have known quite a few people who have done it without any consequences.
