I’m in Clearwater most don’t care, my bike is straight piped and they do not care, but I was driving my car with a small exhaust leak and got lit up 🤦🏾♂️
Cops are ASE certified mechanics now or certified Honda techs ? That’s what a lawyer would ask him on the stand , how do you know what is stock , are you a certified technician? 7:16
lol cop talking about the cold air intake like its making him 1000hp with terrible emissions while they let their vehicles run all day. what a joke car is probably making 180 hp at most
please don't be intentionally stupid just to argue a point. Most people watching this video can easily identify the aftermarket intake , just like any cop who wants to be good at his job can. By the way , such modifications are against federal law, it's just the many states choose not to enforce them and adding more costs to a state that already depends on the feds to pay for essential services is just not going to happen.
Law enforcement in CA must really have a hard on for tuner geeks. No other state is this bad, not even NY where emmissions laws are inching closer to Cali.
This is why I’m building a awd Honda crv I need to be lowkey as possible but stil have my fun lol these cops are lame asf there’s people out here selling dope that’s killing people but they worried about intakes and exhaust 🤦🏻♂️

@Dukes3677 well if your car is neglected, which Hondas like this are, you will see a gain in horsepower in the high-end only because the stock air filter was probably dirty lol
Funny, I sold a 2001 Integra GSR that was Burning oil to a Cop. The Cop told me that he did not care about the burning oil issue because he was going to Turbo Charge it!
not all cops are weirdos my step dad is a retired cop out of la county and loves cars he helped me swap out the exhaust on my civic and encouraged me to try and boost it 😂
Also the airbag thing, if the car not equipped with them you can swap out any steering wheel you want, but also i believe if the vehicle is salvaged title the airbags are no longer regulated? I know at dealerships, if a vehicle has an airbag recall but the vehicle has a salvaged title the recall does not apply. I’d do some research on that also and print EVERYTHING so next time they try to get you for something you have proof they’re wrong
Thought I saw the CARB sticker next to hood latch but I could of been AC spec sticker. Not sure about the steering wheel and other laws off top of head. But I seen CHP during Salvage Inspection pass them. Doubt it came from factory with airbags cant remember. -Get Vehicle Report from DMV ($2-5 bucks via DMV site) -Save a copy of the smog data from state -Title show salvaged? -Get replacement CARB sticker from intake manufacturer - KN makes it easy, take a picture of the system, they mail you a sticker fast. -Cite show a CVC for wheel violation? Edit vid discrip adding the CVCs REMEMBER people, you do NOT have to submit to the roadside smog check, if directed by CHP, you stop, tell CHP no thanks, and you can take off. Helps to not have PC for a stop/tow.
Misdemeanor for the steering wheel? I had no idea. CA sucks, I left and had to come back. I want to leave again. But he said he pulled you over for expired tags. If the registration is overdue be could have towed the car.
How is that tampering with a safety device? What if it blew? Then there’s no device because it did what it was supposed to. Whatever, he pulled him over to screw him over anyways
I once got a state ref ticket for having a blue vent tube from my valve cover to intake car was 100% legal when I went to the ref station the guys had a good laugh. I wasn’t happy had to take a day off work lost money and had to pay a ticket because the cop didn’t know what he was looking at
Yea brother that aftermarket steering wheel is doubling as an airbag delete, u should add replacement safety measures like a roll cage or sum with a proper bucket seat seat and proper harness if u wanna continue to stay safe!
This really makes my blood boil. I have been in this kind of situation before. Not this exact type but very close. Twice in California. I used to have a 1985 Toyota Corolla RWD, that was difficult to find OEM parts for in the mid 2000's. I could not for the life of me get the car to pass smog because no one could get the parts or have the knowledge to fix the carburetor correctly. No matter what I did, the car would pass and then fail smog for stupid reasons. It was an SOHC and my hopes were to change it over to one of the DOHC engines. This was before the Initial D craze. Cop's would pull me over and eventually, I had to let her get junked because CARB deemed her the smog system unrepairable. Another incident happened with my Mitsubishi Montero, but I sold it before it became a problem, as just finding a working engine took a few months, and parts were a pain to find. School police impounded it due to expired tags, as the truck's bumper needed to be replaced so it could pass the brake and light inspection, because the passenger side reverse light got smashed in due to a rear end collision which the insurance wrote the truck off. The Montero had everything working, but because one of the reverse light was smashed in. I needed to find a new bumper. While my Montero was in impound, I finally was able to find a rear bumper. The rear bumper costed me $400 but the impound fees cost me $3,500. As the Montero was impounded right when I got my paycheck and had to pay rent. Needless to say, this video kinda hits home. Many time, especially when one has an older vehicle, it is so difficult to find OEM parts, yet alone, there may be better Aftermarket parts available. However, because California requires OEM parts to pass smog and brake and light inspections. It forces so many people to junk perfectly good running vehicles, as adding modifications makes them a target. The whole tuner scene has basically disappeared in California because of the ridiculous laws that are on the books. Air intakes do not change emissions coming from the tailpipe. Yet California makes them illegal unless the cold air intake manufacturer pays the CARB tax to operate in the State. Smh...
I remember a guy near me was running slicks on his car and got stopped. The officer was nice and told them to take it home and just got a warning. the guy with the car would rev his engine when ever the cop drove by his house. He said the cop was messing with him since he still had the slicks on the back. So, every time he would rev the engine with really loud exhaust and mods on the engine. The cop stopped one day and made a comment about the slicks and the guy said in my driveway nothing you can do. The next time the guy took his car out he changed the tires but got pulled over by the same cop that would drive by for illegal exhaust and modded Engine. He got reffed also cost him 8k to change things back.
Probably gonna get burned for this..but in my experience, if you buy a vehicle that is Federal Emissions only, then California can't do shit. I bought a 74 C10 in North Carolina, but first sold in West Virginia. Had a federal emissions decal. Brought it over to California. When I went to register it, they asked me for a smog certificate. Told the lady the truck is from 74 and doesn't need smog. Plus it's Federal. So yeah. She was pissed, but I was in the right. Theres always a loophole for these things.
@@chrispaulson2934 I had a 75 Merc Grand Marquis with the 400 V8. 49 State Fed emissions. 2 bbl carb. Cali emissions for the same vehicle upgraded it to a 4 bbl carb.
without a CAT and full exhaust this car burns cleaner than most new cars. and plus some EG depending on year did not come with airbag in the steering wheel
Man I think I got it bad in upstate NY. You can't even modify a steering wheel in CA, that's insane. Even in NY, you can drive w/ an airbag light no problem, it'll pass. I'm guessing you can only modify cosmetics and wheel/suspension stuff. Even things like noise pipe deletes which only gives you better airflow and remove cabin turbo noise has a Cali warning on the sale page. I don't understand why people live there or aren't grouping up and handling this locally. Car guys need to start working together before we can't modify anything anymore.
If you get a chance ask "So when car manufactures state "airbag may save lives" does that mean it doesn't and it's not legal from the start?" Or the recalls that many manufacturer have because airbags kill and injure people?
Because there are a lot of job opportunities, very good companies, high salaries, lots of top talent to network with, good weather year round. Getting pulled over because you're driving a car in shambles isn't a concern for 99% of people.
@@2WheelsGood.01 it's not that alone, it's that I never hear of anything other than absurd laws, ridiculously high cost of living/ housing, out of control homelessness, earthquakes, nutjobs, I hear nothing but bad things about there.
Honestly the biggest give away to a modified car is the exhaust....it doesn't need to be obnoxiously loud dudes just want to be.....your exhaust just needs to sound good and most important be free flowing for the power. The noise will not increase your HP
this is pretty rare, i've lived here 30 years and only got an exhaust ticket once. it's kind of a rule of thumb here to always save your stock parts in case you get state reffed. we obviously put the parts back on once they sign the ticket. very low chance youll be pulled over again by the same cop
in cali the polce can ask you to pop your hood and if you refuse to pop your hood then they jsut call a towtuck to take the car away then this has been going on all the way back in the 1990s. i had some firends this had happen back in the 1990s.
had my 94 civic straight piped with headers. At the end of the day It was registered and insured so i've never had an issue. Crazy how this dude bullying you over an intake.
2024 youngstas need realize exhaust , tint on windows especially aftermarket intake is asking for attention and state ref. Speaking from OG long in the game since the early 90s. I got the same treatment from all these WHITE COPS but got away with all the time because mine was clean no tint, no intake, no exhaust, yes hollowed cat , and cams which they couldn't see ofcourse , slammed as fuck tucked half the tire in EG milano red si stock exhaust but they just wanted to admire it hoping to see headers and intake but i rigged cold air under stock box. Youngstas today just never learn. Keep it clean and simpe before rolling street especially with updated tags 😅. Making import negligent but its acuallty rookie owners riding hot 😢. Still got car til this day riding oem plus yes i am California barred to avoid all the nonsense!!!!
Bro shut up, if u wanna live under the WHITE boot that bad jus say tht. u been programmed to think u have to hide nd bend ur knees bc ItS tHe LaW while their are places who’d will let u do car mods, and in fact incurage u to do so. if it’s been that bad since the 90s I don’t get y u keep voting the same and think things will be different. when it’s only getting worse for us 2024 YoUnGStAs. all u can do is try to ego others bc ur shit takes.
it sucks bro and i know civics are getting harder to come by but in cali if you ride around in anything that looks like a project car the cops are going to pull you over. It basically has to be cherry to not get messed with
Man, my knowledge. You don't have to pop your hood to have a warrant to search that. It's appropriately locked. Well, maybe not your hood, but most hoods are locked from the inside of the car and they can't search your vehicle without a warrant. Unless they're towing it
Glad I don't have a Honda anymore. Cops love to pull them over. I got pulled over 3 times in less than a month and my car was completely stock except for coil overs
over here in Texas (I'm in El Paso), my tag expired last year in November & got pulled over for my expired sticker & told the cop a lie & somehow she bought it & I got lucky with a warning lol
@FASTFPSGAMER main reason why I can't pass my car legally is cause my CEL my downstream o2 sensor isn't connected cause I got bigger exhaust piping & the dude that passed my car under the table is responding anymore for some reason lol
People out here in Colorado drive around on temp tags that expired in 2019. We simply don’t care about the state of your vehicle out here (well, Denver does but the west slope doesn’t).
You were supposed to press him about him pulling you over for expired tags and then be on your way. You do not have to pop the hood without a warrant. I will say that the modified exhaust is definitely a ticketing offense out here in California. Better to run stock muffler with cutouts.
If you didnt catch on, cop HATES his car, the nice guy act was just to get the guy to comply and screw him with more stuff. I notice a big differrence from driving in my camaro and challenger to my subaru, the JDM stuff makes cops seethe.
Yes this sucks and is everyones nightmare, but you have to admit that rolling with expired tags with a car that looks and sounds like that is just asking for it 😬
Yeah bro you have to get every STOCK STICKER THAT COMES ON THAT. CAR FROM THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. Now whatever car it is Honda / Acura/ or who evv by ernthe manufacturer is you can go to their parts department and order a majority of the stickers your GOING TO NEED! Then go buy another 50 state legal cold air intake and glue the carb sticker to the cold air tube . Once you’re done with the ref hopefully you don’t have to have a visual inspection done by dmv. If so I KNOW A GOOD PLACE THAT WILL OVERLOOK EVERYTHING AND GIVE YOU YOUR NEW TAGS AND LICENSE PLATES RIGHT THEN AND THERE. You’ll have to MANDATORILY TIP YOUR AGENT THAT HELPS OUT
You don't have to open the hood just because he ask you. It's a fifth amendment issue, unless he demands that you open the hood. If he asks you, if you would be willing to open the hood say no. Because he will always find something that is illegal (even though he doesn't know anything about cars) it's intimidation and harassment tactics.
Not correct. You have to open the hood. VC 2800. All the officer need is some reasonable suspicion that there is modifications under the hood. Then the officers allowed to do a vehicle inspection. Then a lawful order would be for you to pop your hood if you refuse to pop your hood then you are refusing a lawful order, you'd be arrested because that would be a misdemeanor.
@@mrbeverlyhills834 That's a myth. Yes you do. If the vehicle is being driven in the State of California you have to abide by California law. There are very few exemptions for out of state vehicles in CA, but emissions is taken extremely seriously by this State. It's also a federally imposed law back in 1967. Once again, if an officer tells you to pop the hood, that is a legal order. Failing to comply with that order is an arrestable offence. VC 2800.
@@GuardianAtheist Nope sorry but you are wrong. Talked at length with multiple lawyers about it. They can arrest me all the want ill just get out in 10 minutes and get my car back in 30 minutes and be right back out on the road..then file lawsuits
Expired tags, sounds rough, and it seemed like you didn't slow down when passing the traffic stop so you basically caught his attention.. plus you made the rookie mistake of answering questions.. just stop answering questions because all that does is give them more reason to search..
Wait....the kid was pulled for a exhaust attention and no front bumper. On a traffic stop, what the fuck a patdown has to do on a traffic stop. He violated the kid constitutional rights and freedom.
You did it to yourself driving around with expired tags and a loud exhaust lol. Also didnt help that you didnt know your rights or laws which allowed the officer easily walk all over and bone you.

Cali is too beautiful of a state to be like this man.
He was being nice when he said it sticks out like a sore thumb. He was trying to say your car looks like shit that’s why I pulled you over 😂
Exactly. The more a car looks like a bucket the more likely you are to get popped
Dang really protecting the community with this one glad the world is safer knowing a honda with an exhaust is off the streets smh
Traffic unit this is their job lol
@@brianritzpatrick4737maybe they should have their division repurposed
cali has laws for everything except the stuff that actually matters
drive a car older than 1975 and you don't get hassled
funny thing is, most of these EG civics did not come standard with an airbag, it was an optional upgrade if I recall correctly... That steering wheel is no better than the factory one haha!
Yeah I have owned 15 EG half of them did not come equipped with an airbag.
I've learned here in socal. Have the car look decent and not a obnoxious exhaust and you can get away with almost anything.
Exactly 💯
it’s great living in Iowa the cops don’t care about mods unless they are totally absurd, no state inspection and low traffic
@@kevinfuentes314came in to visit cali from phx az at the border was told that’s not legal I told ‘em if it’s registered here in cali lol I took off they tried to give a ticket after I left the state line he gave the ticket with wrong info never paid it lol hood exit 1.8 Cruze never on my record however made the Cruze non emission compliant never got a ticket literally had my laptop hooked up and everything exp tags said I needed to smog I attend a auto school they saw last yrs books and let me go
What i learned about Cali is don't go there because that place is full of dictatorship, delusional people, and degenerate stains.
I'm glad I live in Florida. They don't care. They only care if your exhaust too loud or too low.
nah where i am in miami they dont give a fuc k i got no resonator and a few guys ik dont got mufflers and we all have never got pulled over for anything and are cars are loud asf floridas awesome the cops cool too they barley pull you over for speeding unless you going over 100
I’m in Clearwater most don’t care, my bike is straight piped and they do not care, but I was driving my car with a small exhaust leak and got lit up 🤦🏾♂️
@afroman5531 bikes? Lol... cops don't care about motorcycles in general and I live in cali with a modded zx10r
Na them police on the bikes care about everything got a ticket for exhaust and my tints even tho you can see right through them
miami here bimmer is absolitely slammed to the fucking floor and open headers and they dont give a fuck
Cops are ASE certified mechanics now or certified Honda techs ? That’s what a lawyer would ask him on the stand , how do you know what is stock , are you a certified technician? 7:16
They don’t know that’s why they state ref it where they know what’s stock and not
@@chaseo4557Then the cops should just state ref it and say not a thing beyond.
lol cop talking about the cold air intake like its making him 1000hp with terrible emissions while they let their vehicles run all day. what a joke car is probably making 180 hp at most
please don't be intentionally stupid just to argue a point. Most people watching this video can easily identify the aftermarket intake , just like any cop who wants to be good at his job can. By the way , such modifications are against federal law, it's just the many states choose not to enforce them and adding more costs to a state that already depends on the feds to pay for essential services is just not going to happen.
@@dr.ryanbland6973more like 80hp
Solution to all these problems, leave cali
I have a better solution, stop voting democrat
Laptop chilln on the floor 😂✅ you're done
Law enforcement in CA must really have a hard on for tuner geeks. No other state is this bad, not even NY where emmissions laws are inching closer to Cali.
This is why I’m building a awd Honda crv I need to be lowkey as possible but stil have my fun lol
these cops are lame asf there’s people out here selling dope that’s killing people but they worried about intakes and exhaust 🤦🏻♂️
@usa56 we really should man !! Cali is lame
You go to Texas you got guys with the twin turbo set up’s as daily drivers
Hard to extort money from dopefiends and actual scumbags lol, they don't have any. They see a modified car and know you've got disposable income to pay tickets
State reffing a civic with a stock single cam is wild smh.
The government has too much power. This goes way beyond protect and serve.
This is why I moved from thst state 18 years ago.. you all voted for it now you get to deal with it have fun!
Cop saw the laptop and knew exactly what was going on.
The irony is those Mods probably made the car slower.
Cold intake on a n/a does nothing
@@Hairybarryywrong.
@Dukes3677 well if your car is neglected, which Hondas like this are, you will see a gain in horsepower in the high-end only because the stock air filter was probably dirty lol
So true. 💯
Funny, I sold a 2001 Integra GSR that was Burning oil to a Cop. The Cop told me that he did not care about the burning oil issue because he was going to Turbo Charge it!
not all cops are weirdos my step dad is a retired cop out of la county and loves cars he helped me swap out the exhaust on my civic and encouraged me to try and boost it 😂
Also the airbag thing, if the car not equipped with them you can swap out any steering wheel you want, but also i believe if the vehicle is salvaged title the airbags are no longer regulated? I know at dealerships, if a vehicle has an airbag recall but the vehicle has a salvaged title the recall does not apply. I’d do some research on that also and print EVERYTHING so next time they try to get you for something you have proof they’re wrong
There's no airbag law. The manufacturer can't make a car without an airbag but if you want to remove yours, you can.
The biggest Hollywood lie from the Fast and Furious franchise was not sending a Pontiac to the space, but saying Cali is the place for car guys.
Those magazines that cop has is illegal to have in California 💀🤡🤡
Hypocrisy at its finest. That's why I left. 🤷
Thought I saw the CARB sticker next to hood latch but I could of been AC spec sticker. Not sure about the steering wheel and other laws off top of head. But I seen CHP during Salvage Inspection pass them. Doubt it came from factory with airbags cant remember.
-Get Vehicle Report from DMV ($2-5 bucks via DMV site)
-Save a copy of the smog data from state
-Title show salvaged?
-Get replacement CARB sticker from intake manufacturer - KN makes it easy, take a picture of the system, they mail you a sticker fast.
-Cite show a CVC for wheel violation? Edit vid discrip adding the CVCs
REMEMBER people, you do NOT have to submit to the roadside smog check, if directed by CHP, you stop, tell CHP no thanks, and you can take off. Helps to not have PC for a stop/tow.
Misdemeanor for the steering wheel? I had no idea. CA sucks, I left and had to come back. I want to leave again. But he said he pulled you over for expired tags. If the registration is overdue be could have towed the car.
Yup that and functioning lights are the ones that always are working on my cars
How is that tampering with a safety device? What if it blew? Then there’s no device because it did what it was supposed to. Whatever, he pulled him over to screw him over anyways
New law in California came in play. If tags are expired, you have 2 months to get them, and cops can't pull you over if your tags just expired.
I once got a state ref ticket for having a blue vent tube from my valve cover to intake car was 100% legal when I went to the ref station the guys had a good laugh. I wasn’t happy had to take a day off work lost money and had to pay a ticket because the cop didn’t know what he was looking at
The day I get a state ref is the day I get put in the dirt or life in prison
fucking road pirates are the worst
You sound dumb asf for this comment
Dude finally saw what was under the hood of the Honda that looked like the one that beat his V8 😂
Yea brother that aftermarket steering wheel is doubling as an airbag delete, u should add replacement safety measures like a roll cage or sum with a proper bucket seat seat and proper harness if u wanna continue to stay safe!
This really makes my blood boil. I have been in this kind of situation before. Not this exact type but very close. Twice in California. I used to have a 1985 Toyota Corolla RWD, that was difficult to find OEM parts for in the mid 2000's. I could not for the life of me get the car to pass smog because no one could get the parts or have the knowledge to fix the carburetor correctly. No matter what I did, the car would pass and then fail smog for stupid reasons. It was an SOHC and my hopes were to change it over to one of the DOHC engines. This was before the Initial D craze. Cop's would pull me over and eventually, I had to let her get junked because CARB deemed her the smog system unrepairable.
Another incident happened with my Mitsubishi Montero, but I sold it before it became a problem, as just finding a working engine took a few months, and parts were a pain to find. School police impounded it due to expired tags, as the truck's bumper needed to be replaced so it could pass the brake and light inspection, because the passenger side reverse light got smashed in due to a rear end collision which the insurance wrote the truck off. The Montero had everything working, but because one of the reverse light was smashed in. I needed to find a new bumper.
While my Montero was in impound, I finally was able to find a rear bumper. The rear bumper costed me $400 but the impound fees cost me $3,500. As the Montero was impounded right when I got my paycheck and had to pay rent.
Needless to say, this video kinda hits home. Many time, especially when one has an older vehicle, it is so difficult to find OEM parts, yet alone, there may be better Aftermarket parts available. However, because California requires OEM parts to pass smog and brake and light inspections. It forces so many people to junk perfectly good running vehicles, as adding modifications makes them a target.
The whole tuner scene has basically disappeared in California because of the ridiculous laws that are on the books. Air intakes do not change emissions coming from the tailpipe. Yet California makes them illegal unless the cold air intake manufacturer pays the CARB tax to operate in the State. Smh...
Yeah, it's corruption.
It's all about the money.
I remember a guy near me was running slicks on his car and got stopped. The officer was nice and told them to take it home and just got a warning. the guy with the car would rev his engine when ever the cop drove by his house. He said the cop was messing with him since he still had the slicks on the back. So, every time he would rev the engine with really loud exhaust and mods on the engine. The cop stopped one day and made a comment about the slicks and the guy said in my driveway nothing you can do. The next time the guy took his car out he changed the tires but got pulled over by the same cop that would drive by for illegal exhaust and modded Engine. He got reffed also cost him 8k to change things back.
Good old Kommiefornia, the worst state for hotrodders, even though the hobby started there.
just buy pre smog cars... even in cali they cant do shit.... straight headers and a big old turbo, no state ref then
@@tom4208
You actually have to go back to mid-1960s cars for that. Catalytic Converters started showing up in 1968 on a few makes.
Probably gonna get burned for this..but in my experience, if you buy a vehicle that is Federal Emissions only, then California can't do shit. I bought a 74 C10 in North Carolina, but first sold in West Virginia. Had a federal emissions decal. Brought it over to California. When I went to register it, they asked me for a smog certificate. Told the lady the truck is from 74 and doesn't need smog. Plus it's Federal. So yeah. She was pissed, but I was in the right. Theres always a loophole for these things.
@@chrispaulson2934
I had a 75 Merc Grand Marquis with the 400 V8. 49 State Fed emissions. 2 bbl carb.
Cali emissions for the same vehicle upgraded it to a 4 bbl carb.
@@jsh6952 so in CA you could get the 4bbl? Or did you upgrade it to the 4bbl? And it was ok in CA?
without a CAT and full exhaust this car burns cleaner than most new cars. and plus some EG depending on year did not come with airbag in the steering wheel
Man I think I got it bad in upstate NY. You can't even modify a steering wheel in CA, that's insane. Even in NY, you can drive w/ an airbag light no problem, it'll pass. I'm guessing you can only modify cosmetics and wheel/suspension stuff. Even things like noise pipe deletes which only gives you better airflow and remove cabin turbo noise has a Cali warning on the sale page. I don't understand why people live there or aren't grouping up and handling this locally. Car guys need to start working together before we can't modify anything anymore.
If you get a chance ask "So when car manufactures state "airbag may save lives" does that mean it doesn't and it's not legal from the start?" Or the recalls that many manufacturer have because airbags kill and injure people?
The infamous Takata airbags were used in all these 90s Honda's too
Being that old...does that car even have oem parts available for that stuff? The airbox is discontinued as is several other items.
Yeah good luck finding a stock air box for an early 90s Honda everyone and their mother threw those things away and installed an aftermarket one.
I saw a guy design and 3D print his own OEM looking airbox that was compatible with his custom turbo setup to pass inspection in Australia.
This is ridiculous, idk why anyone would want to live in a place like that.
Because there are a lot of job opportunities, very good companies, high salaries, lots of top talent to network with, good weather year round. Getting pulled over because you're driving a car in shambles isn't a concern for 99% of people.
@@2WheelsGood.01 it's not that alone, it's that I never hear of anything other than absurd laws, ridiculously high cost of living/ housing, out of control homelessness, earthquakes, nutjobs, I hear nothing but bad things about there.
Honestly the biggest give away to a modified car is the exhaust....it doesn't need to be obnoxiously loud dudes just want to be.....your exhaust just needs to sound good and most important be free flowing for the power. The noise will not increase your HP
this is pretty rare, i've lived here 30 years and only got an exhaust ticket once. it's kind of a rule of thumb here to always save your stock parts in case you get state reffed. we obviously put the parts back on once they sign the ticket. very low chance youll be pulled over again by the same cop
Glad I live in Michigan, here you can buy a beat to hell car for $200 scrap value and drive all you want as long as lights are working properly.
This cop should come to Philly he’ll have a field day stopping cars 24-7🎉😂
Shit that's your fault. What the hell are you driving with expired tags for
in cali the polce can ask you to pop your hood and if you refuse to pop your hood then they jsut call a towtuck to take the car away then this has been going on all the way back in the 1990s. i had some firends this had happen back in the 1990s.
2008 I was driving my eg hatch to north Georgia from southwest FL to do an engine swap.Long story short I met the coolest Georgia trooper ever.
Real American heroes right there..
You had expired tags and when you played dumb , he was already two steps ahead of you

Thats what happens when you put a overly loud exaust on your car in California and Dont pay your tags
To boot, he bagged on your ride at the end.. 😂😂😂
had my 94 civic straight piped with headers. At the end of the day It was registered and insured so i've never had an issue. Crazy how this dude bullying you over an intake.
2024 youngstas need realize exhaust , tint on windows especially aftermarket intake is asking for attention and state ref. Speaking from OG long in the game since the early 90s. I got the same treatment from all these WHITE COPS but got away with all the time because mine was clean no tint, no intake, no exhaust, yes hollowed cat , and cams which they couldn't see ofcourse , slammed as fuck tucked half the tire in EG milano red si stock exhaust but they just wanted to admire it hoping to see headers and intake but i rigged cold air under stock box. Youngstas today just never learn. Keep it clean and simpe before rolling street especially with updated tags 😅. Making import negligent but its acuallty rookie owners riding hot 😢. Still got car til this day riding oem plus yes i am California barred to avoid all the nonsense!!!!
Bro shut up, if u wanna live under the WHITE boot that bad jus say tht. u been programmed to think u have to hide nd bend ur knees bc ItS tHe LaW while their are places who’d will let u do car mods, and in fact incurage u to do so. if it’s been that bad since the 90s I don’t get y u keep voting the same and think things will be different. when it’s only getting worse for us 2024 YoUnGStAs. all u can do is try to ego others bc ur shit takes.
He wanted to check your paperwork😅
it sucks bro and i know civics are getting harder to come by but in cali if you ride around in anything that looks like a project car the cops are going to pull you over. It basically has to be cherry to not get messed with
Man, my knowledge. You don't have to pop your hood to have a warrant to search that. It's appropriately locked. Well, maybe not your hood, but most hoods are locked from the inside of the car and they can't search your vehicle without a warrant. Unless they're towing it
Glad I don't have a Honda anymore. Cops love to pull them over. I got pulled over 3 times in less than a month and my car was completely stock except for coil overs
Why do they love to pull them over?
bro your lucky in my state if you get caught with expired tabs yo shit gonna get towed and impounded!! no exceptions.
over here in Texas (I'm in El Paso), my tag expired last year in November & got pulled over for my expired sticker & told the cop a lie & somehow she bought it & I got lucky with a warning lol
@@Jeremy_Hill_2020 you're the exception 🤣
@FASTFPSGAMER main reason why I can't pass my car legally is cause my CEL
my downstream o2 sensor isn't connected cause I got bigger exhaust piping & the dude that passed my car under the table is responding anymore for some reason lol
extreamly lucky. try that shit in dallas LMFAO!!!@@Jeremy_Hill_2020
People out here in Colorado drive around on temp tags that expired in 2019. We simply don’t care about the state of your vehicle out here (well, Denver does but the west slope doesn’t).
So glad to be a Texan 🤙🏼
California needs to leave the chat. Really thankful to live in a part of the country that's still mostly free.
You were supposed to press him about him pulling you over for expired tags and then be on your way. You do not have to pop the hood without a warrant. I will say that the modified exhaust is definitely a ticketing offense out here in California. Better to run stock muffler with cutouts.
If you didnt catch on, cop HATES his car, the nice guy act was just to get the guy to comply and screw him with more stuff. I notice a big differrence from driving in my camaro and challenger to my subaru, the JDM stuff makes cops seethe.
State ref dam good look finding oem parts
Yes this sucks and is everyones nightmare, but you have to admit that rolling with expired tags with a car that looks and sounds like that is just asking for it 😬
That music should be a crime.
For sure
Yeah bro you have to get every STOCK STICKER THAT COMES ON THAT. CAR FROM THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. Now whatever car it is Honda / Acura/ or who evv by ernthe manufacturer is you can go to their parts department and order a majority of the stickers your GOING TO NEED! Then go buy another 50 state legal cold air intake and glue the carb sticker to the cold air tube . Once you’re done with the ref hopefully you don’t have to have a visual inspection done by dmv. If so I KNOW A GOOD PLACE THAT WILL OVERLOOK EVERYTHING AND GIVE YOU YOUR NEW TAGS AND LICENSE PLATES RIGHT THEN AND THERE. You’ll have to MANDATORILY TIP YOUR AGENT THAT HELPS OUT
While this is going on people on the freeway going 100+ MPH everywhere in California. CHP DO IMPORTANT SHIT that saves lives pleaseeeeeeeeeee
You don't have to open the hood just because he ask you. It's a fifth amendment issue, unless he demands that you open the hood. If he asks you, if you would be willing to open the hood say no. Because he will always find something that is illegal (even though he doesn't know anything about cars) it's intimidation and harassment tactics.
Ik but honestly it would’ve made the situation way worse, the car would’ve just been target afterwards around town
Not correct. You have to open the hood. VC 2800. All the officer need is some reasonable suspicion that there is modifications under the hood. Then the officers allowed to do a vehicle inspection. Then a lawful order would be for you to pop your hood if you refuse to pop your hood then you are refusing a lawful order, you'd be arrested because that would be a misdemeanor.
@@GuardianAtheistNot if its an out of state vehicle and resident you dont.
@@mrbeverlyhills834 That's a myth. Yes you do. If the vehicle is being driven in the State of California you have to abide by California law. There are very few exemptions for out of state vehicles in CA, but emissions is taken extremely seriously by this State. It's also a federally imposed law back in 1967.
Once again, if an officer tells you to pop the hood, that is a legal order. Failing to comply with that order is an arrestable offence. VC 2800.
@@GuardianAtheist Nope sorry but you are wrong. Talked at length with multiple lawyers about it. They can arrest me all the want ill just get out in 10 minutes and get my car back in 30 minutes and be right back out on the road..then file lawsuits
basically said get this shitbox off the road
Expired tags, sounds rough, and it seemed like you didn't slow down when passing the traffic stop so you basically caught his attention.. plus you made the rookie mistake of answering questions.. just stop answering questions because all that does is give them more reason to search..
“This thing does not sound healthy” .. I’m going to jail 😂
Wait....the kid was pulled for a exhaust attention and no front bumper. On a traffic stop, what the fuck a patdown has to do on a traffic stop. He violated the kid constitutional rights and freedom.
Ha, thats funny!!! dontcha know?!?! Commiefornia don't care about constitutional rights or freedoms, thanks for the laugh!
You did it to yourself driving around with expired tags and a loud exhaust lol. Also didnt help that you didnt know your rights or laws which allowed the officer easily walk all over and bone you. Stand your ground next time instead of being scared and timid, im surprised he gave you a state ref but yet didnt impound your car.
