Good things can happen from bad? Probability of police actions

Yeah, law is redneck (western culture) bias. None of my friends with straight pipes on there camaro, GN, or Cobra gets hassled. Also, there is a group of guys that ride raised trucks (very high) with 6x6 steel bars for front bumpers that accually get praised from the police i know. It's pretty shitty.

i agree. most police dont have an appreciation for japanese imports/sport compacts since they didnt grow up with it. all they see are stupid kids driving stupidly in these cars. more of the next generation of police will have a greater appreciation, but we'll all be too old to care by then

20-25 years from now electric car drag racing will be the ish, and we'll be shaking out heads thinking WTF are these kids thinking?

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.

i wouldnt stress to much that you got a CITATION for a lack of proof of insurance rather than a MODIFIED exhaust ticket. Count your blessings chum. You got off easy to say the least what you would have to go through with the other ticket.

Exactly. Your unwitting dumdum move actually helped you out in the long run.
If a cop pulls you over there's a high likelihood that they're going to cite you for something, but if you're nice he/she may cut you some slack (or let you off entirely), especially if you give them an opportunity. I was pulled over once for going something like 15 over the limit, but the cop was cool and I tried to be respectful, so he gave me a fix-it ticket instead for an incorrect address on my license.

Well you can always drive under 3500 rpm or if you do ever get stopped and know that your exhaust is not over the illegal dB limit then pulled out your dB meter i think they are pretty expensive though.
