"The operation is necessary not just for the obvious safety risks that street racing presents, but also because it is so closely tied to vehicle theft and high insurance rates."
ahh now I understand these guys are just doing us a favor, saving us a bunch of money on our car insurance by GIVING US MOTHERF@#%ING TICKETS.
"after-market parts that allow for faster acceleration and higher top speeds."
I guess they are forgetting the mods that allow me to brake in a lot less distance and suspension mods that allow me to stay on the road compared to your average family car.
We should go to San Mateo and drive 5mph under the speed limit, make sure to have video camera's and all that, a lawyer would be nice too.

.. oh, and profiling is not "illegal"... racial profiling is. If they "profile" a group based on equipment, there's nothing illegal about it.

why is this bull****? you just said it yourself...YOU THE TAXPAYER are paying for this. Apparently you don't mind uneducated police officers wasteing your money by pulling people over that "look" like streetracers for no damn reason other than they "look" like streetracers and sending them to the state ref and to court further wasteing your tax dollars on tickets many of which will get thrown out because the cars are stock.
I used to drive a civic and spent about 6 months not being able to drive my car anywhere after midnight without getting pulled over because it apparently looked like a streetracer car.
I think it's bull**** because I don't see them pulling over trucks with 18 inch lifts that are breaking many more laws than my car breaks or modified mustangs, camaros, gtos, chargers, etc. It is only import cars and import cars alone.
At the truly dangerous side shows it's usually 70's american cars and early 90's mustangs and late 90's camaros that are making the ruckus and runnign people over and shooting guns into the air. not fwd civic and awd wrxs.
That is why it's bull****. It is targeting one individual set of vehicles.

"But oftentimes a group of a dozen or so cars will meet at either the In-N-Out in Millbrae...."

A guy on my other forum which is for Ford owners got nabbed in Daly City I think. Of of his violations was having 3" tips welded onto his exhaust pipes, they deemed that illegally modifying the exhaust, even though the Flowmastes were the part that modded the exhaust 
I also saw on the news Fri night that they were pulling over Mustangs, and camaros as well, one guy got ticketed for 8mm Ford Racing spark plugs, I forget what the cop said, but yeah I won't be driving through those towns anytime soon in my car
