Got pulled over yesterday!
Yup, first time ever!
Was cruising 50mph on the freeway, highway patrol comes right up my a$$, flashed me so I pul over!
Cop walks up to my window, asks for my driving license, and then asks me to rev my engine! So I revved it.. he turns to me and says "that too loud"!
Gives me a ticket!
Damnit!

Here's the thing I'm so freak'n **** off about. Imports with aftermarket exhaust gets pull over all the time but a BUILT 600whp muscle car don't. In fact most cops would actually like it. I'm afraid I might get pull over for driving my GS400(bc I'm asian). My cousin got pulled over 2 miles b4 he get home driving is brand new Mercedes Benz. Cop did ask, "this car is too new & we didn't believe it was yours". That was a hell of a case.

Did the officer have a decibel meter on him to support that it was too loud? If not it maybe able to fight it off in court with no form of reference other than the officer was thinking it was too loud based on his ear.

a) probable cause to believe that a violation had occurred.
b) reasonable suspicion that a crime had been or is being committed.
"this car is too new & we didn't believe it was yours" wouldn't cut it. So, if I was your cousin, I'd file a personnel complaint against the officer.

The law is not black and white here, they obviously exempt vehicles that come from the factory this way, but punish those that have been modified aftermarket!
He was definitely being an A Hole for sure. There was no indication to how loud my car was, he only took a glimpse of a Lexus GS with big pipes and pulled me over to verify that it was indeed "louder" than normal!

Ridiculous...here in the states, I have NEVER seen a Harley Davidson motorcycle pulled over...and most of these are clear violations of noise limitations.
I know a dedicated rider that sold his bike because he was losing his hearing from the noise!
