Got a ticket today for speeding and then i was asked to pop the hood for the cop who promptly told me that i my intake was illegal and i'd have to meet with a smog ref about the intake the mods on my car. I have the weapon r intake which i presumed was perfectly legal (i'm in CA) however after going to my local shop and talking to the owner i found out that this bulls_hit isnt legal....kinda pissed cuz now i have to go and buy a stock intake and then take my car into DMV and get it inspected. So for future reference for everybody in Cali, don't buy the weapon r cuz it aint legal! So what intake can i get now that IS legal for use in CA?

the legal answer is. You do not need a search warrent. Just propable cause to search a vehicle. Probable cause it pretty much a very thin line. There are no exact definitions of probable causes. Just examples. Its all between the cop and the judge.,

Its all between the cop and the judge., [right][snapback]226596[/snapback][/right] Yes it is (between the cop and the judge) but it can't be that thin, because it has to stand up to a judge, and a lawyer on your side that this probable cause WOULD BE ENOUGH for a search warren if he were to call in and ask for one. When it comes down to it, if he wants to do a search and you say no, he then has to PROVE in court beyond a resonable doubt that he had probable cause to search your vehicle. he has to do that before he can prove you were speeding, etc. If someone searches your vehicle after you tell them no, get a lawyer; because you'll win (most likely.. unless there's mushrooms on the ground) Futhermore, you can't get a ticket, you can't get in trouble for refusing a search. There's nothing you need to prove to the judge. It's not like the cop can then write you a ticket for "refusing a search." If you do have nothing to hide, it's a win win situation. |
