geez Johnson ur a magnet! Sucks to hear about your fix it tickets. Surprised they didn't say anything about having after market wheels. Apparently, I heard any modifications to a vehicle is illegal. One thing I never understand, Factory tint is legal, or the ones that come on Benz. Blue tint all around, how did Benz manage to pass that?
How far is that area from Steven's Creek Lexus? EOS7 geez man I wouldnt want to worry about getting fix it tickets.
Its funny how some cops pull you over for tint, when their own personal cars have tint all around.

the blue tint on the fogs are illegal prolly because cops are "concerned" with people impersonating officers. any blue or red light on a vehicle is reserved for law enforcement only.
logically, no cop would be driving a lexus around and pulling people over, i mean, if i was driving my car and i see like a guy with blue lights comin up from behind, unless the blue is coming from the top or flashing, i am not pulling over for that person.
but yeah, blue tint even over red tails are illegal and they will say you are trying to impersonate a police officer

He seriously said this??? How did you not keep from busting up 
Probally the wrong place to start all the "why we pull you over stuff". I think we all know here in California that this state is way too over-regulated and too many tax payer dollars are spent on regulating things that should be considered irrelevant. I dont feel its my place to say how how most serious crimes are handled but a law biding citizen should have the right to mod his car (within reason) without being hassled. I just think the system sucks and these silly laws have gotten a little out of hand.

Thanks.
The law is the law. Vehicle code 26101VC says u cant have any modified equipment on lighting. regardless of color. I just didnt think this was such a big deal that cops would actually pull me over and give me a thorough check.
This thread is to notify everying in the area about the seriousness the sheriffs are getting in regards to modified vehicles.
Roll Down your windows, drive slow, be safe.
I will try that steam thing later except i dont have a steamer. I know the blad thign works but i only ddi thta on window tint no on fog light. i did check but i think the fog light is glass too

ticket
i got pulled over coming form sacramento raceway, officer said a piece of paper came out of my car when i had the windows open. I guess
once pulled over asked me to pop the hood. i was missing my carb sticker on my intake. took a picture of the motor,gave me a ticket and had to get the car smogged an inspected at a state smog center. after getting the car smogged,passing and going to court, i thought it was going to be 10 dollars or something next thing i know after paying 39.99 for the smogg and getting my car checked in and out by the state missing work the court tell me that the ticket is 201 for missing an emission devise? A .02 sticker is a emission devise. well sept 15 i go to trial, if i win no pay if i lose 405. Man im going to be pissed off at the system if i lose. im going to ask the officer to show his picture and im going to show current picture to show nothing was missing or changed but the .02 sticker on the intake.

It does not take much brain for the cops to spot heavily modified vehicles. It’s like a beautiful young woman walking with 20 old grandmas. How can you not to be noticed? If you modified your car illegally what do you expect from the cops?

I work in the same area, over off Mariani and De Anza... the Sheriff also sets up speed traps twice a week along de anza towards stevens creek, usually in the morning and mid afternoon.
Also, there will be a motorcycle sheriff on the corner of de anza and stevens creek (either at the gas station or at the panera) looking for rolling right turns on red and no seat belts at least once a week at lunch time.

Also sheriffs car at the School /Church parking lot on de anza right after the SC intersection.
