its an awesome mix of bullying, profiling, and ridiculous assumptions.


I'd like to see em treat domestic guys this way. Seriously, it may sound like a lame cry for the import, but how many mustangs/vettes/camaros etc do you see pulled over and harrassed this way? Even when they may have the same kind of modifications? very few in comparison.

It is alot easier (and safer) to harass citizens about technicalities than fight real crime.

Is this honestly what it is like in California?? That would honestly keep me from ever moving to the state, despite the fact that I have never modified a car I have owned.

It's about making money. . . nothing about the environment, nothing about public safety, nothing about friendly socialism, nothing about anything other than chasing after a group of people that often don't have the same abilities to defend themselves.

that is a great video to show what our tax money is spent on. But you have to pay to play, the only issue I have with this is that I have a friend that litterally drives a drag nova, tubbed, caged, one seat, full fuel cell etc and has been waved to and gotten the thumbs up from cops and never gotten a ticket.

I will. It is in fact about cash and nothing else. Where do you guys think states get all that income from? It has nothing to do with "rampant communism". I've had simialrly crappy experiences in "red states" and "blue states" alike.

When it comes to traffic laws, there is no politics, it's about Mr. Washington and his other green brothers, period.

The other thing I'd like to say though, is that a BIG reason cops are tough like that in CA is because the whole street racing thang originated there, with bunches of young punks doing stupid sh!t in Hondas or whatever they could get their hands on. Why do you think so many other states now have street racing legislation in the books or on the floor? CA set the "standard", and a pretty low one at that.

Simply put: stupid people make it worse for the rest of us.
