YoushallgoFo don't go to cali bro

 

[Pro Stock John]

Yeah fuck that.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Fuck California and the left for making dumbass rules like this!

 

[Great White Drake]

Just an asshole cop. “Too bad, here’s your ticket” “gonna cost 4k” “now 7k” “sue the dealership for the money”

Some of these traffic laws are ridiculous and it takes someone even more ridiculous to enforce them.

 

[Stink Star]

I feel so safe on the road now knowing there’s officers like this to protect me

LoL at 103db being loud on a stock car. Its probably 103db at like 5ft in a concrete room.

The noise limits are just plain stupid.

I do not understand, if the dealer has documented the vehicle is stock, then why won’t the state retest the vehicle and/or accept the findings?

California lacks logic and common sense?

I knew this was going to a California fuckery situation before I read the article

Yeah, honestly I think this would get thrown out in court if the car is proven to be factory stock.

The fact that its even gone as far as a registration suspension is insane.

Sue the Police dept, Officer and State Registration on principle.

Low dollar amount and make it public / national

I don’t think this is comparable but my father got a ticket for loud boat exhaust with stock boat and exhaust. He fought it in court with documents and proof it’s all stock, they didn’t care because the sound test came back illegal and forced him to pay the fine (the cops did the test wrong but we had no proof).
The system is dumb in many ways.

 

[boostedguy05]

I thought they only had eco and sport (N) mode. No track mode. Fuck off cop!

 

[Blood on Blood]

Why did he even tell the Cop he was in Track mode?

Switch the car to Normal mode before the Cop gets out of his car

Man these super troopers movies are getting weird

per the article because the dealership made no changes, the state refuses to retest it

The dealership documented the car is stock, nothing to change.

Should the owner get the plugs and air filter changed? Maybe a tune up would appease the State

So in CA its now illegal to operate your factory stock car in its built in "track mode"? And you are required to go to the dealer and have them "remove" said track mode? How does any of that make any sense?? I mean for non-car people, it might sound plausible. But that's 100% horse shit.

They just take the car and give you a base Elantra back

It is not plausible to non-car people as anyone would question why a new, stock vehicle purchased in the state of California from a manufacturer is not legal to drive in California.

I’d file a law suit based on principle.

I’m curious if an attorney can go before a judge, provide dealership evidence the car is in original manufacturer condition, and demand the car be released .

Im 100% sure that will happen. The kid in the video didnt sound too bright, but man he needs help. He was railroaded by that psycho cop. Hopefully hes not walking around in his skinny jeans and man bun getting handled by minimum wage state workers, while they cost him thousands to get this completely stock car back on the road. I'd lose my shit here.

I hope the kid gets a rapist attorney and he absolutely decimates them in court.

Sounded to me like he knew the cop was an assclown and was just placating him, because he knew it was pointless to argue with that kinda stupidity. No point in exacerbating the situation. Just say thank you officer and take it to court.

 

[Pro Stock John]

Agreed he played it cool.

Any minute Dr. Jimbo is going to come in here and give his thoughts on the California Police
