Mass Sucks

[dave96dcm]

At least it is just a warning, but now I'm in the system as violating for a loud exhaust.

that sucks big time id move.kentucky i drive my big block truck around with a set of purple horines in the headers thats my exhaust and no one cares its great.

I used to live in Fitchburg many moons ago. And it is a crappy little town that is poor which used to be rich. The tax base is steadily going away. Tickets like yours are their lifeblood. I say make them put your exhaust on a sound meter. Let them work for the money.

[dave96dcm]

He didn't say anything about sound, he just said that it was modified, he said that anything besides stock is illegal, I said that it passed inspection, he said that didn't matter.

yeah i would fight it at least make your congresman hear your dislike with that stupid law.
here in connecticut they are pretty leinient but are starting to crack down on those loud ass Harley bikes.
Oh last show in pittsfield i too got pulled over and he gave me a warning .
(i got connecticut plates)

[andrewmp6]

if it passed inspection like that id try to fight it.they cant pull that dot crap the car was built before that.i had a cop give me a ticket for no seat belt in a 65 impala when my states law says 1980 and newer you have to wear one. i had to fight that ticket in court judge laughed at the cop but did want to see my car.

thats lets jut say BS. Define modified exaust. I would show up to court on this one. I got a speeding ticket for 66 in a 55 at 3:00am not traffic and cruise set a 59. I am going to fight it. In general most cops are pretty level headed. A Cop wasting you time on modified exhaust is stupid and a waste of time. The Courts, cities and counties are looking for $$$. My opinion has been I will pay the county or state an extra $350 a year just to leave me alone. This country is becoming a Police State and we all need to stand up to this kind of behavior. Sorry bout your situation. Actually that ticket borders harassment....

Blessings,

Except our congressmen are against us. They are the ones that are responsible, the police are just doing their job. Though some are less likely to let a minor violation slide.

The officer that stopped him is probably one of the few that'll actually give someone a hard time by doing what the city/town/state are asking them to do. I know a lot of guys in law enforcement and most are car guys and Harley riders, they wouldn't even bother unless the driver was doing something else that would warrant a stop.

Still, that really sucks Dave.

[dave96dcm]

Is it worth fighting a warning? I can just see the judge turning it into a fine with the luck that I have been having lately.

[COYBILT]

I would say fight it, I have had the same problems here in livermore,ca.

Cops are so bored sometimes
