lol that statement is so true. there was a cop that lived across the street from us he was a complete asshole always talked down to us and treated us with complete disrespect. the story starts with the lawn care guy he usually showed up cut the grass and was done and gone within 30 to 40 minutes . both me and my girlfriend noticed after seeing him show up and cut the grass he would pull up cut the grass then put away his equipment heather would be standing outside and he would walk back up to the door where she was standing he gave her a hug and grabbed her ass they then walked into the house. i don't know what they did but we sat there waiting for him to come back out he was in there for an hour she let him out and walked out to the truck with him and talked for a bit then she walked back in the house and he drove off. we then realized why this guy was in a bad mood all the time the next time we seen him he was rude and i said i know why your always in a bad mood not getting any huh? he got so pissed off at me and we got into a heated argument i then slipped and told him about the lawn care guy and his wife. was the best thing i ever did, he eventually confronted her i heard them arguing out in there back yard and the following week he got a small u haul truck i thought he was kicking her out but turns out the house was hers she kicked him out.no more asshole cop to worry about. and i bet you could guess who lives there now with her that lawn care guy.

@@AlphabetCo-lk9jo The Track mode is meant for the Track. The State tests it in normal mode. Do we mechanically or software limit cars to 60 mph because that's the speed limit? Of course not. Hyundai provides a disclaimer that the Track mode is not meant for street use. Volkswagen also provides a disclaimer that the Golf R's launch control is not intended for street use. The Mustang GT350 comes with a city sound mode in Europe. It's up to the individual not to be aware of local laws and not break them.

@@ryankwan1934 correct and what’s the legal remedy for a vehicle being operated in excess of a posted speed limit? Does the state then suspend the registration and send the driver to a state agency, to be ordered to pay to have their car limited to a certain speed? No. They fine the driver for violating an ordinance or law. Again, the policy was originally intended to police illegal car modifications… if CA has a huge problem with cars coming from the manufacturer and they want to completely restrict a feature from car, legislation and subsequent regulation of the manufacturing company is the correct avenue… the officer said “it is illegal for you to have track mode” “you’re going to pay to have it removed” not you violated the law, here is your summons.

I'm sure its some combination of personality, unhappy/depressed for some outside reason personal problems, jealously of other people seemingly having a good life with new car and or adrenaline junky who was looking for a chase etc. Like the video said, if cop wants to enforce the noise law fine. All he had to do was give him a ticket for excessive noise/disturbance. He knew it wasn't modified, one of the first things he asked was is it in track mode. Cop can feel like he didn't just let it go, and driver would have small fine and learn not to put it in noisy mode around people again. That would seem like the strict but reasonable way to go. He went with the; lets see how much I can ruin this guys day approach.

[@nrf2009]

What did being polite and cooperative do to help in this situation? This is why you don't talk to cops - period. you give them your name and birthday and the required registration/insurance and that's it. If the driver didn't admit he was in track mode, the cop would have had less options on what to fine him for. Admitting to being in track mode made his life a lot more difficult. If he hadn't admitted it most likely the cop could only have given him a ticket for being too loud. If he had to go back to the inspector for loud exhaust the inspector likely would have put it in normal mode and inspected it as usual in normal mode. Then the driver would have got a clean inspection report and the driver could have probably got the ticket thrown out with documentation showing it's under the db limit.

Two options come to mind. First, you can restrict the intake. Meaning, slow the air flow incoming. Like, cover half of the air cleaner in some way. On the dirty side. As not to allow something to get ingested into the engine. Then, see what that does to the noise level. Or find a replacement muffler or add a muffler to the exhaust. I'd try to do the intake first and check the noise level myself.

A lady from inside the building of the business also called stating that she thought he had a gun in his back pocket. Upon arriving, the police did a pat down search, and found there was no gun, radioed the other incoming officers that there was no threat and to lower their response level, and did not escalate the issue by drawing guns or worse shooting. The officer the said to the man recording and the business owner that recording on public grounds and anything in sight while on public grounds are perfectly legal.

I have only one piece of legal advice: "I don't answer questions". "Why is it backfiring?" "I don't answer questions" "Is it in track mode?" "I don't answer questions" People REALLY need to stop self-snitching. Snitched on himself for running in track mode, snitched on himself for "knowing" the violations, snitched on himself for admitting backfire, etc. "I don't answer questions" and he'll give you a ticket. He'll have to prove it was backfiring, he'll have to prove that it is illegal (which it isn't because it's stock), and so on. But since he admitted to that stuff, now cop doesn't have to prove it, driver has to prove the negative. Much harder to do. Whatever ticket the cop would have given him, take it to court and I guarantee it would be less than the $7,000 the cop states it would be. That being said, that's what you get for living in California. I used to have sympathy for them but it's all run out.

Be aware, while the officer was definitely not very nice, there is no law saying he has to. The officer was legally correct that the exhaust was too loud by California standards at least in track mode. so he would lose the case and it would cost him both his and the police officers lawyer fees which would exceed any gains.
