IMO CA is the most ass backwards state in the US. However… if you’re dumb enough to live there you don’t get to bitch when you break their stupid laws and get busted for it. Same goes for people that live in NY and bitch about getting tint tickets. I guess what I was trying to get at…is it’s a Car ENTHUSIAST meet. it’s kinda slimey of the cops to show up and give everyone tickets. Granted they are allowed to do it,but don’t they have ANY thing better to do? It’s like going into a muscle car show and writting everyone there for front plate tickets (because you know none of them have one on) or going to a harley meet and writting everyone for illegal exhaust. I’m not trying to defend the legality issues…just the “morality” issue here if you will. I don’t understand the mod laws in CA as well… It only does ANY good if cali’s surrounding states follow the same laws. It’s not like there is an air barrier around cali that doesn’t allow air in and out of the state. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/california-tax-money-work-v-ricers/46214)._
