Can't say what pipes are setting them off elsewhere but here in the Bay area it's Thunder Headers , seems the " I gotta be Cool but got a small pecker " crew love those pipes and 100+ " motors and all they really do is ride around in town rapping the hell out of them just to play dig me . Best part is they have those 500wt stereo's cranked up so loud so they can hear over the pipes it's pissing off all local gang bangers because it's drowning out their too loud stereo's . I've ran and been around straight pipes on shovels for yrs so noise isn't new but it's gotten to the point around here I wish they would start busting ***** on a lot more of them

Just my 2 cents, that's an example of too much tax payer money spent on cops not doing what they should be doing, and that is safety control. No, there writing tickets to keep their job. Maybe too many cops?

Like it or not your elected representatives passed the law based on input from your fellow citizens - if you're crew is bigger and louder than theirs (voices in the halls of the state legislature, not pipes on the streets) then you can change the laws too. Get involved, or live with it

I guess your argument would be valid providing that at exact time and location, there was a reckless driver, drunk driver, etc. and the officer decided that he would just give a ticket for pipes. Do you see my point? It's kind of like people saying ... the COP was giving me a ticket for making an illegal turn when there was a murder occuring a block away. This senario could also be seen as a non effective use of resources. I guess the bottom line is that "best use of resources" is relitive to the situation at hand.
Please don't take this as me arguing with you but only a different point of view in a friendly way. No offence intended !

any of you guys that complain about "small violations" ever go fishing? Thats all this is - drop a hook in the water (patrol), see what you catch (violation), and once you pull it in maybe its a keeper (felony). If not (misd/infraction), toss it back and keep fishing.

I`m thinking they caught all the illegals and not much crime with all the gangs in prison in CA so they are looking something else to do.
