Intake BS, illegality Options

[Blur]

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?

Well crap I was wrong, I looked it up and apparently the law does validate search incident to arrest, and in certain cases search incident to citation, the supreme court ruled on a case we're talking about right now saying:

"Once (the driver) was stopped for speeding and issued a citation, all the evidence necessary to prosecute that offense had been obtained. No further evidence of excessive speed was going to be found either on the person of the offender or in the passenger compartment of the car."

Although a cop if he finds you suspicious or whatever can follow you until you with intent to search and wait for you to make a traffic violation so he can get in a poke around. So esentially the cop can make your day real crappy
