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 -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

they can search your car at any time during a stop if they feel the need to.
its called "probable cause" which really means if they want to they can, and no they don't have to put you into custody because of it. My car has always been stripped with basically front seats and a dash so I encouraged them to search

My car has always been stripped with basically front seats and a dash so I encouraged them to search funny story about car search, my firends and i went to denny's at about 1 am on saturday and we got pulled over for cuting a cop off which wasnt true at all. anyway, if a cop asks if he can search your car u CAN say no adn that means they cant search your car. thats what most citiezens dont know. u can say know to teh cops search request. unless you are hgih or drunk they can. or of course a warrant. other than that tell em to piss off...in a ncie way haha --------------------  QUOTE ‹Superaison› i'm a computer inclined guy.. ‹Superaison› or girl. idk what gender I am anymore. ‹SeverX13› *facepalm* QUOTE suprakid: o sh!t suprakid: i wanna get an obama chia pet SeverX13: hahahahaha |
