Police Street Racing Training Video

This video was made by the San Diego PD to help cops in modified vehicle law enforcment.

Just watched it, all I can say is that civic driver got OWNED! :thebirds:
But those cops are really annoying, if it was my ride I'd be totally ИИИИed off right now.
Apparently its illegal to even have headers or a modified intake in california. How retarded is that.

Yeah, they have strong emissions laws. All that gear has to be engineered, thats why there are a lot of ricers in CA because of this. Visual mods are just alot easier.

[MAD]

I can just imagine a cop pulling over a v8 and commenting, while looking at the power steering pump, that is has an adjustable cam gear. ROFL!

[EF, What else?]

There seems to be alot of "This is illegal, that's illegal", but for a training video, they don't say a thing on what to look for or why they are illegal. :

[UNR8D]

hell next they will be telling me that i have to wipe my ИИИИ to the right hand side while scratching my scrotem rearwards or they will arrest me... hell.

[GRNKPR]

POWER TRIPPERS makes the pre emission cars a lot better to buyto save the

[hornet]

My 351 XY is the exact reason I havne't sold it yet

When my EL gets assraped by the cops, i'll pull that out

[joshf2]

at least with sex, you can only get raped in one place

looks like car modifiers are worse than sex offenders

[hornet]

Just watched the movie.. wow hahah.

Variable cam timing illegal, adjustable fuel pressure reg illegal. Aftermarket exhausts illegal.

[5speedeb]

lol why dont they make everything illegal

[zoomzoom]

from my nunderstanding they have pretty stricted pollution laws in the states especially cali. if he got pulledover for doing nothing that sucks

[Noddy]

The la police are as anal about car mods as the coppers here are about doing 7kph over the speed limit.

[GTP-814]

They cant be serious abouit emission laws, have you seen the crap that california churn out every day from their fule refineries. I lived their for a while & industry polution is far worse than a car being modified...give me a break

[MO]

And to think it was the state that was first for modded cars....oh how they have regressed.

[trick_xd]

Well lucky we all dont live there
1 of the first things we do is our exhaust and cam.

[HOON69]

lol thats a classic :

If I was living there, I'd buy a new fat V8 merc (if I could afford it) and slap a hundred street racing stickers on it.
Then when I get pulled up by the cops and they say this and that is illegal I'd just tell them its all stock standard you lose haha and drive off.

Actually one of my mates *almost* got done last year in his lancer evo 3, the cop who tried to book him claimed his rear wing was illegal cause it blocked rear view vison.
My mate took him to court and won because the wing was factory standard. :

I belive there rules are the same are the euro 3 emissions.

I saw a Brand new evo get defected about 2 years ago at the rocks, it had a facotry fitted pod filter and he got knocked off for it. Only owned the car 2 days..............

Thats a load of crap, he should've fought the claimed defect. Unless its an underhanded import.
If you can buy a brand new car right from a dealership here, there should be no reason why a cop could book you for a car you bought fair and square still under warranty.
If they can sell it, the copper should be issuing a ticked to Mitsubishi and not the car owner. out:

It was an RTA, EPA & police blitz on street racing. The poor guy was about 45 and had just bought it and was heading home from having dinner with his HOT HOT wifey.

The RTA guy showed him the rules stateing that an intake/pod filter must be boxed in, it was overlooked when the car got complianced. It had some thing to do with if the engine backfire's and the filter catches alight the box will contain it, WTF. WOuld you be driving any car if it was back firing that bad........

[GTS_300_Coupe]

Yeah well common sense isnt very common with these people running the world is it? :

I think it should be called uncommon sense.

no factory car would have an unboxed pod filter, if his lancer had a bod pilter without a box it has certainly been modified, and deserves to get pinged for it. ignorence is no excuse

is it just me or does that make no sense at all?

[klawsterfobik]

Makes sense to me Dave must be just you.

Anyhow, that vid does explain a lot about the "ricer" phenomenon, i wouldnt do those sort of modifications if i was going to get pulled over every second day and be forced to remove them. Body mods do seem a whole lot more sensible when living in a society such as that.

[MoreHPformyXR6]

If exhaust intake etc is illegal there. What about ere exhaust CAI headers & edit are they above board over here?

[pauljh74]

If the guy refuses to comply they should just smack him over the head with the nightstick and say "RESPECT MY AUTHORITAY!"

Alot of the coppers here wouldn't know what they're looking at. I heard of a case where the cop asked the guy to open the bonnet and couldn't differentiate between a 250 I6 motor and a V8 in an XB. The guy hadn't been doing anything wrong - wasn't even driving it when the cops showed up at a meet
