mmm they try to pass that law here n nyc and ofcourse it didnt happen. alarm are not useless. but they did try to ban alarms that dont come with stock cars. basically another stupid law by stupid people. stock alarms are the useless ones or cheap aftermark.
if thieves know cars dont have alarm they will take apart every car n the middle of the day. ex: they stole my friends radio from his car, it had no alarm but was parked n front of his house and they were checking on him and watch him walkout
