i think it depends where you live.
socal has such a large population of japanese imports with illegal parts on the road, a cop can almost guarantee to find something thats not legit (remember cali has the strictest smog laws, yet is the largest market for smog-illegal parts from japan).
plus the street racing scene is so widespread across socal, that cops have developed a level of animosity toward modified japanese cars.
cops use a variety of reasons to pull people over and check up on them: tint, exhaust, tail light out, stuff hanging from rear view mirror (obstructs view they claim), etc.
