i know this is not about my S but i think it can apply to all of us.

in CA
what do you tell him if he keeps asking you whats under the hood?
than what do you say if he ask you to pop the hood?

can someone educate me what the law is and what i can say

story removed since you guys dont wanna answer the question and give me shit bout something i dont have on anymore

 

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why someone would want to put a tinted cover over their license plate. Is this to keep the sun out of its eyes? Are you really worried about it fading?

Especially in Cali, you're asking for trouble.

Anyway, glad you didn't get a ticket. Too bad he was a bit of a jerkoff, but hey, it's Cali.

 

oh i use to work for a dealership as a tech and i got all kinds of free stuff from use cars. the cover happen to be on of them and lot of blacked out cars put those covers on. looks alot cleaner and around my area. i seen every other car have some type of cover clear or smoked. the clear ones turn yellow and you cant even read the plate anymore

 

WHy are you interested in hiding your license plate? Because others are doing it? Seriously, you are asking to be harassed.

 

Um, ok?

 

i am not hiding it. it just a beater car and i throw random stuff on it. i dont have it on anymore and it was on for like 3 years before i got pulled for it just so he can have a reason to pop my hood

anyways my main question was about

in CA
what do you tell him if he keeps asking you whats under the hood?
than what do you say if he ask you to pop the hood?

guess i edit and remove my story. but what about my question?

 

I guess you can tell the officer theres a engine under the hood. As far as opening the hood, you can refuse to open your hood if you have nothing to hide, till the officer request a search warrent he can't really force you to pop your hood, also thats if you have nothing to hide and haven't broken any major laws. I have two family member in law inforcement but i'm on the east side, don't know how they do it on your side.

 

well what do you got under the hood?

 

this is when i was in my accord. i got pulled for having a tint plate cover but the main reason was to see what was under the hood. (nothing illegal, all carb legal) i didnt even get a ticket. he seem more interested in what was under the hood. i didnt even put on the my current tags. (was in the glove box)

mods: aem sr intake, dc sport header, msd wires, aem pulleys, dc strut bar, red ground wires, and most of the parts are in red

 

ya ... would just pop the hood and show him you have nothing to hide
