The cop was profiling you because of your car which is a bunch of crap!

Your almost positive is absolutely wrong. If the nice officer asks to look under your hood and you open it, you've given consent. If you refuse, then if the officer has probable cause to believe that the law has been broken under your hood (priming your nitrous system that he noticed), then he does not need a warrant. Absent the above, yes, he needs a warrant.

Anything the officer sees without having to move anything (like your MJ stems) are in plain sight, and do not require a warrant.

If you take it to step three, I can guarantee you that they will find something worth hauling your **** off to the pokey...

I was pulled over once for matching the description of a suspect car which was bull cause i have the only evo in the town i was pulled over in and the cop told me that my taillight was also out, and i told him there was no way, so he said get out and check. So I do, and its not, but when i did i left the door open and he looks inside and pulls a twig off the floor that mustve gotten stuck in my track spikes and told me it looked like a marijuana stem, he then told me that that was suspicious enough to not require a warrant. I told him to screw off and that he already infringed my rights by putting his hand in my car. He let me go, but being the small town that it is, i called the police chief and let him know the whole story and the officer was put on payed leave for a couple days because there was no description of any black 4dr reported and that he had lied to me. It helps that i know the chief, but regardless it's important that you know your rights and what a cop is allowed to view on your car without a warrant, even if you have nothing to hide, you never know what one crooked cop could try to put on you, and dont be afraid to tell a cop to screw off, gently of course.

typically in CA, if a cop sees an open air element filter you are going to be getting a ticket.

Also keep in mind the fact that you purchased the car with the parts on it wont help you out any in the courtroom, especially if you have pictures from the original for sale ad. The pictures will only prove your knowledge of the after market parts being on the car before the purchase.

Also he tickets me for no front license plate which i was never given to by the dealership that I bought the car from. Also, the exhaust and intake were there from since when i bought the car.....

so my question is can I get the dealer to fix it or do i have to buy the stock exhaust/airbox then go get it inspected :P
I have a stock exhaust and intake in Tustin, you are welcome to drop by and used it to get your tickets written off =D

just pm me back if you like...

Nothing even to worry about man. All of it will get written off and thrown out.
I think certain state requires you to have a front plate. whether there's hole or not, you'll still have to drill it and put the plate on. that suck but it's the law
