Sooo many cops on the road ticketing people

Are they trying to make up the budget deficit? The last month or so I've seen tons more po-po, chp, sheriff, etc on the streets/highway/freeway/etc and pulled over cars getting tickets.

Anyone in law enforcement shed some light?

I can tell you that a lot more people are driving right now. It's summer and people drive a lot more, so it looks like more people are getting pulled over. I don't worry about the cops when I drive because I'm not doing anything wrong when I drive, I drive smart to save gas and ware on my car. I save the fast driving for the track lol.

Drive smart and safe and you should be fine.

I still think the smog laws in cali are a ****ing joke! if they stick the sniffer up your pipe and you pass who cares what is going on under the hood? (as long as you dont have a stupid vta bov or a vta catch can) if you do you derserve the ticket!

APS 3", quiet and low key.

"Drive slow and you'll be fine" doesn't apply anymore.
