PSI you have a PM

 

I am pretty sure SEMA stalled that bill before is passed. I would contact the SEMA Action network.

 

how much are the fines for these tickets? are exhaust and wing just fix it tickets? I haven't been pulled over just yet but I have a feeling I will be..just a matter of time.

Pls update us on how you went about paying/fighting these tickets.Thanks!!

 

Hmm, minor tickets. . . "get lost tickets" were you somewhere that cops have had to deal with problems from poeple congregating? Do you or someone you're close to have a history in any of those towns?

I drive through them regularly, I am loud and I haven't been stopped there.

As far as the laws go, it's not like they're private. If you willingly and knowingly give someone a reason to pull you over no matter how minor or pointless you may think it is, you've done your part to assist them in pulling you over and hassling you over stupid ****.

Also, FWIW here's a bit on the exhaust law:
347.39 Mufflers. (1) No person shall operate on a highway
any motor vehicle subject to registration unless such motor
vehicle is equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation
and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise
or annoying smoke. This subsection also applies to motor
bicycles.
(2) No muffler or exhaust system on any vehicle mentioned in
sub. (1) shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass or similar device
nor shall there be installed in the exhaust system of any such
vehicle any device to ignite exhaust gases so as to produce flame
within or without the exhaust system. No person shall modify the
exhaust system of any such motor vehicle in a manner which will
amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor of such vehicle
above that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the
vehicle, and such original muffler shall comply with all the
requirements of this section.
(3) In this section, “muffler” means a device consisting of a
series of chambers of baffle plates or other mechanical design for
receiving exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine and
which is effective in reducing noise.

 

Yea, us Chicagoland Cobra guys never get tickets for crap like that.

 

I know the laws....I know i can get everyone of them dropped. I'm just asking about the harassment. I've gotten numerous tickets in the past...alot of BS ones like these....

I'm just asking if alot of people have the some sort of trouble or if i am just "lucky"

 

I can't say that I have many problems, and I live in a town close to as bad as naperville when it comes to the officers not having anything to do.

You seem to be "lucky"

 

cops seem to leave me alone. But then again i dont drive like a douchebag

 

or i should say they dont like cars with big spoilers..
i've never got pulled over driving my evo tho... lucky

 

They pull people over in aurora?

:P

 

i used to drive truck out there, and saw nothing but rice in aurora! cops should have a special team dedicated to just that

 

If I owned an Evo and got pulled over for "Obstruction of Vision" because of the factory wing, I'd certainly lose it.

 

I haven't really gotten ANY attention from the police with my Evo *knocks on wood*

I noticed I drive this car a lot slower than my previous car: 2000 Ford Contour SE supercharged.

With that being said I got A LOT of tickets with the Contour. Seemed to stick out more than my Evo....but like I said I drove the Contour a lot harder, faster, etc.

Good rule of thumb is: don't drive all crazy, cops probably won't bother you.

There are exceptions though.

 

i never get hasselled for my wing and i live in schaumburg. your cop was just being a d*ck. i got pulled over in hoffman...all i got was a "speeding" ticket which was bs, but no comment about my tints, wing, or lack of front plate. do you have the hole drilled in up front for the bracket. i told my dealer not to do that when the car came in. i think in the end the cops are trying to fill quota and being d*cks.

 

naw....that bby ur talking about is one of my guys aunt's....i got the silver with cf hood...i stay mostly on the east side of town...from the stuff i saw on ur space...ur from the west or the south side...anyway u going to the drift show tomorow at soldier field? im going...let me know we can meet up somewhere im going with a few buddies get ur buddies and we can head up there
