ahh no prob, its better then no answer, anyway what would happen in court most likely? Judge order it removed? Like I have DARK as$ tint, no problems yet and I live in FL but if one ever DOES arrise I wana know what to expect... So I can get it signed off or go to court, any idea what would happen to me in court? I rather pay a small fine if its under $150 then have to retint my car, hehe...

 

Don't really know what would happen, as I haven't taken that route before. I have simply had tickets signed off. However, from what I know about the court system, I can tell you that you would probably be ordered by the judge to remove the offending equipment and slap you with a fine. Then, of course, if you don't remove it, you'll face contempt charges. BTW, I'm in CA, so I'm not sure what FL's procedures are.

 

How do they check to see if you have removed it?

 

AHHHH !!!!! question....... why did you let that cop see under the hood of your car in the first place?!?!?!?!.......

 

I was at a Honda Tech yesterday, and a guy with a Civic with a turbo had gotten his turbo legalized and he even had the Bar sticker right on the chasis.:thumbup: It took him several attempts to pass.

 

There is probably a document that is signed off by some type of authority that can be presented to the court. However, all of this court stuff can be avoided by simply having the ticket signed off. Judges tend to get pissed off when they realize that games are being played and the court's time is wasted.

 

A buddy of mine had the same story to tell. He said he got his turbo CA EXEMPT with a big ass sticker. Said he brought it to a referee in Sacramento to get it exempted. This place apparently is where all imported cars get exempted for CA. Did this civic guy just get it done at B.A.R. ?

 

where'd you hear that? i've had my V1 for a almost a year now, and its NEVER picked up a laser signal coming from a cop. red neon signs and LED tail lights CAN set the laser warning off, but usually only if you get close enough.

Ka and K band radar are still the most widely used, by far. CHP uses only Ka band radar right now, and most local PD uses K band. i get K band signals on a daily basis. whenever i drive to or from college i get four or five Ka signals. never any laser

 

I didn't really look at the sticker up close but from what I heard they guy talking about. He said he got the BAR exempt sticker but after trying 4-5 times.

 

in all honesty, go talk to a public defender, or an lawyer. it sounds to me like they don't know what they are talking about at all. Fight this thing all the way for sure, this harrasment must stop.

by the way, for future reference for all, never pop your hood or trunk for a cop when they ask (if they are harrassing you), it actually is against the law for them to do so without certain cause or a warrant. wanting you to pop the hood when you are lowered with an exhaust visable is no justifiable cause for them to check under your hood, in the trunk, in the glove box, etc....
They have no legal standing to do so. It's actually unconstitutional, unless you actually submit, and proceed to pop your hood or trunk. If you resist, the officer will have to call in to the PD, and have a warrant issued for that type of search, UNLESS, there are drugs in the car, you are driving drunk (sometimes this doesn't even constitute a legal reason), etc......
THere is a whole gambit of constitutional laws regarding these issues. Do some legal research, talk to lawyers, and find out the truth! You don't HAVE to do everything the officer says.

the downfall, if the officer actually goes through the hassle of getting a warrant, they will nail you for every single thing that you have done that they can write you up for, and most likely, if you are really illegal, your car will be impounded or confescated.

But i urge everyone to go out and read the laws, do the research, and by all means fight the dirty cops with knowledge!!!
