Cop looked at my hks sc today...
Unfortunately that's just how things are here in SoCal...I wish it could change...but that's just a wish...I can't say how many customers have called me up just to tell me stories of how they got pulled over and harassed. Luckily most of us have legal engines...I know a lot of 240 owners that get sent to the referee left and right...then you're really in trouble!

Why can a stock harley-davidson put out twice the noise level of a car and not get a ticket?
And we have it the worst Z-boy...
That San Diego "Drag-Net" program informs all the officers of the typical mods, engine swaps etc...
Even officers from LA and OC come down to San Diego to take these courses so we can bet cops down here know a thing or two.
You're lucky you ran into one that was pretty cool I guess.

I will cooperate and be truthful but I won't let a random pull over turn into a full search of my car when they have no probable cause to do so.

Too bad theres' NO WARRENT for vehicle searches. Youd be waiting a long time. They don't need a warrent for a mobile vehicle. As long as they have suspicion that you car is modified, you have to comply. They do need probable cause tho. So, don't let people confuse you, you don't need a warrant. There is no warrant available for cars.
