Your hood for no reason (Or even in California)? I was hearing about things like this happening. Today I got pulled over because my license plate was falling off due to a screw missing, so I put it on my dashboard. I got pulled over for a fix it ticket (not a problem) and the cop asked me if I had any engine modifications. I told him "No", and he took my word for it (and believe me, I have no modifications other than that aluminum hood, not even an exhaust). I was curious why he didn't make me pop it anyways. Was it because had I said yes, he would be allowed to then check it?


I wear hearing that in Santa Barbara, because of illegal displays of "exhibition of speed" (Hah! I didn't say the R word), that any car for whatever reason, they just pull over and say "Pop your hood" and then cars get impounded. I am not saying it is okay to do the "exhibition of speed thing", but some of us cannot afford a Mercedes McLaren, and just want that luxury, ya know?


Anyways, what are your thoughts or facts?


Thanks

from what ive heard they can due to the high restrictions on mods and stuff like that when i was visting my cousin in Pomona we where pulled over in his 240 and they made us pop his hood and cause hes a speed freak, he put a sr20 with big turbos on it which from the cop was illegal mod and wasnt considered street leagal so was towed. but cali is weird on there road safety laws. i was pulled over for whereing a hat and sandals got a dang ticket for it too i was like wtf this is gay
