If you’re referring to car audio, then don’t be so sure. My friend has had 8 or so tickets for noise pollution from bumping his subs. You can have it, you just can’t always use it.
Your car audio is the same way. You can do whatever you want to it, but you can’t use it whatever way you want on a public street.
Just like they can’t have (use) certain mods (like Nitrous) in their cars, you can’t go around blasting your music wherever you want as mentioned above.
And if you think it’s bad here think twice. Other countries might not care what you have done to your car or how loud your music is, but you sure as hell wouldn’t be driving an Audi with a high end system either.
What really sucks, is that no one was racing, imagine being at kohls and getting surrounded by cops and handed 100’s to 1000’s in tickets for just sitting there? Not all kids that mod cars are street racers, some people actually only take it to the dragstrip, so that makes it look even worse that I’m sure no one was qouted as for saying that. This would never happen to any kind of domestic meet
a “domestic” meet will usually have a majority of older cars that have little to no restrictions, so you are right, it would never happen ;D
it has nothing to do with stereotyping. They are not picking on the “kids” with imports. It just doesn’t make sense to go after classic muscle
Which brings up a whole another issue.
Never said classic muscle up in that qoute. There are newer kinds of mustangs and camaro’s out in the world
Agreed
unless the domestic meet is all new domestic then it wouldn’t be worth the cop’s time. I’ve never seen a meet of domestics without at least half of the cars being 1980 and older… but at same time I don’t go to domestic meets, so I wtf do I know
I’m tired of saying “domestic”
im SQ, not SPL, its not about loud for me, its about calrity. plus with the amount of insulation im going to be doing, i wont have problems with noise pollution
How they hell can they write tickets for “assumed street racing”. I thought you had to be caught in the act. That’s unfair.
IMO-How are most modified cars (300-450HP) any different from production vehicles in that range? I hope they start ticketing Vipers, Corvettes, etc.
That logic is just…stupid.
Anything for fucking state money.
thats exactly what its about too… money… when it comes right down to it they dont care about the enviroment but seeing that they have these awsome laws and they know people break the laws like that so they decided to start spitting out tickets like their going out of style.
they can give me tickets all day long for street racing… i dont race… and unless they have video proof of me ripin down the highway my lawyer will have a field day with them.
are you kidding…it had everything to do with sterotyping
clearly, they say we dont need extra power and if we have it then we must be racing, by their logic we should only have enough hp to get up to speed limit of 65mph, so all cars should be street racing by their logic, sometimes cops are just fucking stupid and need to crawl in a hole and never come out
LOL Hey Russian guy, do you have ANY idea what communism IS?
I was there when it was around dude. also, my parents and grandparents do.
no it doesn’t! it’s about money. You think cops give two shits whether they are getting money from some 80 year old or 18 year old? NO. There are WAY more tickets that can be written for modern cars vs older cars. Cops really don’t go out of their way to pick on “us”, they pick on our cars. Newer cars are so regulated that pretty much anything you do is ticketable (making up words is fun). It’s common sense, stop all the whining.
i see your point
i think its partially profiling. they pick on us because were a lot more likely to have more than one thing illegal on the car. ie :fartcannon, tint, no front plate, other crap they can ticket for, so they grab us more than any other group of drivers on the road. overall i think its about revenue and our demographic is the most profitable. if old ppl were a ticket goldmine, theyd be after them all day long
