is that even legal for a cop to do? they have no right to search your car (or your engine bay) without probable cause or your consent. even if they find out that your vins dont match, you could have legally bought a motor from a junk yard and swapped it into your own car.

Don't try that attitude in CA... you will get your car impounded. Something as simple as an aftermarket muffler or lights is enough cause to force you to pop your hood...

Inspections, smog requirements and all that kind of stuff is different in each state. In CA, you can have all the busted up lights, non-working seatbelts and everything and still get your car registered. But if the seal on your gas cap leaks, boom - no registration... kindasad.gif
