This is why I hate CHP

I haven't gotten pulled over yet. One time when I was cruising with Pirooz, a cop got behind me, and then passed me and pulled over Pirooz. He told him he was going to get me for exhaust, but saw I was out of state. They probably wont bug you too much.

Just before X-mas I was coming out of a parking lot on Saratoga near 280. Then a CHP pulls up next to me at the light, and I can feel he is just looking for something to pull me over for. As soon as the light turns green he waits for me to go and gets behind me with his lights on. I pull over (in my S2000) and he tells me he thinks my exhaust is too loud and ask me to rev it. I do and it is obvious that it is NOT too loud so he can't give me a ticket for that. Starts walking around my car until he finds something to write me a ticket for, no front plate.
Fix-it for $10 or pay the fine of $124.....

I wonder does Domestic vehicle get this kinda of treatment. I mean for Mustang, Camero, truck, etc...those guy run straight pipe.
Well, CA is short on money. I'm sure the pressure is on for CHP to produce more tickets than local cops. I told my gf to drive 70 instead of 80 on freeway now.
Its funny, when there's an accident or a problem occur, there is "jurisdiction" to which department handle it. But when writing ticket, its all open for every department to enforce.

I do... I requested the dealer not to put it on, but when I called it was too late. At first I was pretty mad about it, and I was looking into bumper plugs.. but then now I'm used to it, and it's not so bad. Ultimately, I don't want to give the police any excuse to pull me over, so I think it's less hassle just to have it on and not have to worry about it. Also, I drive around LAX area sometimes, and the cops there are notorious for front license tickets.
