ca ref tickets and general cop hasseling
Hi bay area folks:
I am curious to see whether there is a certain profile that corresponds to getting reamed from the man regarding exhaust, hood popping etc....
After doing a search on ca ref tickets and turning up tons o scary material I am hoping to put some sense to this.
So:
If you have been pulled over for a "baseless" charge (like too loud exhaust or whatever) or have received a ref ticket for same, could you post in this thread with your car (STI, Wrx Sedan or Wagon) and main reason and location?
Something like: "STI, pulled over for too loud exhsut, received modified exhaust ticket in San Jose"?
Let's see which group needs to be most paranoid (or not) when driving in the bay area....

That's one thing that worries me about my 05 exhaust, it's psuedo fart-canish and since I have everything changed except the axleback it sounds pretty burly. I have been by several cops, but I have to go into my cop mode driving shifting before 3k to keep it unnoticed. Grrr....

I got pulled over in my Civic because it "looked" modified. Cop then popped the hood. Sent to referree that didn't even bother testing for db and didn't even bother questioning about the intake. Had to pass the smog and then go to court.

i got pulled for having a loud exhaust even when i was shifting at under 3000 rpm in my white wagon. the funny thing was that the cop had one of those RFL chopper motorcycles. popped my hood, looked under my car and gave me a no catalatic converter ticket/ state ref ticket.
