Unfair targeting

[accordme93]

Due to a recent rash of street racing crashes a police department in a town not too far away from me is pulling over potential street racers. What was funny is that every single car they pulled over in the news segment was a Honda. Every single one! I really think that is BS. They also said that lowering a car was illegal which I think is BS too. I think you're allowed to go down to a certain height.

I know this topic has been discussed many a time, but it just pisses me off. Apparently domestic cars don't street race and it's ok for a fucking dumb ass Harley to have exhausts that blows your ear drums out.

Reminds me of the last NorCal meet we had when 2 cops and a tow truck showed up. They started poking fun at our cars.

Always though it was BS that lowering was illegal yet these rednecks can jack their trucks up over your car and nothing is said. Thats dangerous.

in cali i believe that the car frame or body cannot be lower than the lowest part of the rim or something like that

['93accordse]

in va its supposed to be 14" from the bumper support to the ground. when i got pulled the cop measured from the BOTTOM OF MY KIT. lol, i showed up to court and the judge said, your car is 5" from the ground, i said, theres no way i could drive if it was. judge threw it out. cops are morons.

I think in cali its 22" from the ground to the center of the headlight??? Something like that but that blows. Well damn people racing on residential areas and crap thats what you get. What part of cali is this at?

Well, thats the cost of driving cheap, fast, 4cyl, gas-sipping, reliable cars, or what we all know as Hondas. I guess domestics needed to do something to make themselves feel better about being bulky, unreliable, displacement-crazy, gas guzzlers. American cars simply cannot sompete in the market outside the US. Even in the US itself theyre being outsold by imports.

I guess it's one of those one rotten apple spoils the whole barrell deals. We all know there are a lot of punk teenagers in Civics that cause some of this. It still blows me away how import tuners get pulled over for loud exhausts and cops seem to look the other way when it comes to loud motorcycles.

this happened to me a few weeks ago, i was driving and you can't even hear my exhuast, i get pulled over, and there is a loud motorcycle in next to me

[N9netwoAccord]

its something we all have to deal with... learn to deal with it and suck it up....

i'm 17... i get it all the time... i'm used to it

Im so glad I ditched the fart can. The muffler I got now just looks like a very large tipped oem muffler..and its so much more mellow.

Case and point for yeamans post;
I was driving down the road next to this fart canned 3g Prelude and a cop pulls out cuz he undoubtedly heard my exhaust leak (as loud as a harley, no joke) and decided to git 'im sum ricer. Tailed the Prelude instead of me

[rebels]

I think the whole 'height' thing is uncalled for because if you look at a newer Corvette, look how close to the ground their front bumper & bumper lip is. It's no more than 4-5" off the ground.

Some cops just have nothing better to do, especially in towns where nothing big happens. Cops don't worry about things like that here because there are always robberies in Tampa and south St. Pete, lol.

it's because most cops ride bikes and love harley's. later.

You really can't be that thick, unless you're 15 year old.
