The next thing he asked was if my car was modified and I said yes. He than asked if all my modifications were legal? I said I'm pretty sure they are all legal and he challenged if I was sure about that and asked if I had anything “special” under the hood. I said no not really. All I really have that I thought could be illegal was my Joe-Z intake and my Dragger II exhaust. The officer said that any modifications done to my car need to be reported to the DMV because it changes the value of the car. Luckily for me in the end we had a pleasant chat and he let me go with no ticket or anything.

But I just wanted to get some feedback about all this and to confirm that a Joe-Z intake and Dragger II exhaust isn't considered illegal, please feel free to comment, thanks.
Police often over extend their authority and try to violate your 4th amendment rights. As a general rule, I don't talk to them. I recommend everyone watch the video linked below.

Glad it worked out okay for you this time.

Police really use that line on you "If you have nothing to hide then it shouldn't be a problem" They are just trying to get you! Your nervous and don't have time to think about the situation and that's how they get you! There is no 2nd chance to re-tell the story after that.

Watch the youtube clip above and remember to use the tips below:

3 Most Important Lines to Use!
1. Officer am I free to go?
2. Officer I dont consent to any searches
3. Officer I have nothing to say until i speak with my lawyer

Another cop with nothing better to do to be added to layoff list in many (broke) jurisdictions.

And no the DMV thing is not true.
