what pisses me off is i see a guy TODAY smoking crack next to me and then immediately and purposely drive through 2 red lights as i sat there and watched...THAT is the type of stuff a officer should be concerned about. i know they cant be everywhere, but maybe there would have been one there if he wasn't somewhere pulling a guy over for his tint or some other crap. i see stuff like that quite often too, and they drive off without an issue. meanwhile i am getting pulled over 2x for what a guy thinks is too loud. i just passed 2 parked PD and 1 motorcycle PD within half a mile of my place. they didn't even turn their heads. oh and the 2 parked cars are in my parking lot about 50 feet away sitting there...i must be such a danger and annoyance since they didn't even so much as walk over or look when i parked literally right in front of them.
Look, I know it sucks. But the bottom line is: the car's not legal. Stating that other people break the law too is not an effective standpoint for convincing me that it's OK for you to break laws you find convenient to break.

The equipment you need isn't possible with your car...well, honestly? That's tough shit. There's no "oh shucks that stinks" exemption. It doesn't matter at all, it's still a repsonsibility of yours to either comply, or face the consequences.

And BTW, there's aftermarket cats that are approved for cars. The headers...not following you there at all. Do you mean in CA, or in the USA?

...and if you saw a guy smoking crack while driving, and didn't call the cops...that pisses me off.
