beware checkpoint on 3rd / 4th street & wilton in LA cars/ bikes towed
Just got a call from Paul Knucklez, apparently there is a checkpoint pulling over / towing cars & bikes in the LA area between 3rd / 4th Wilton. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up about this hotspot, I'm assuming its for modded cars he witnessed a few tow trucks towing cars away and more waiting...

It was I that made the call to Ben. A LOT LOT LOT of street bikes were getting towed.. Included in the "tow package" was a bmw, handfull of hondas and some trucks. MOSTLY street bikes though. I was amazed at how many tow trucks there were.. First time seeing a bike get towed too.. It's pretty sad, they swing around the tow trucks hook ****.. Hopefully none of the bikes got damaged.

thanks for the feedback guys and clarifying the situation more, with me i just dont want to take any chances
anything that isnt CARB legal w/o a carb sticker you can get busted for... if your intake doesnt have a CARB sticker you can get sent to the state ref for it. usually though cops and CHP look for the shiny can in the back that doesnt look stock
gluck guys and be safe
