PULLED OVER IN MY MODIFIED CAR (Misdemeanor)

[@seang577]

Having a modded car in California would be such a headache man... What a joke

[@vicnguyen]

already getting sick of it hahah

[@clyyz]

facts lmao, im in MA so thankful don’t gotta worry for shit like this, cops don’t got nun other than to rack up on those quotes for the month they have to hit

[@max7143]

They are heavily cracking down on modified cars in the Bay Area right now. I see them pulled over everyday. They are tired of the side shows.

[@jaggsta]

plate it in another state simple.

[@Letsgrababeer]

They should be worried about the drugs people are doing in public instead of a stupid thing as a steering wheel

[@InvaderFinTech]

Stop asking cops questions like they are there to help you. Ask a lawyer instead. They can actually help you. For the love of god learn your rights you got a misdemeanor ticket for the steering wheel because you were answering blatant fishing questions. Don’t incriminate yourself. Don’t say anything just give em your info let them write you for whatever they pulled you over for and fight it in court. Your job isn’t to “make it easy” for them.

[@vicnguyen]

appreciate the info!! i feel like the harder i made it for them, they harder they would’ve made it for me as well

[@rtroeun]

Moral of the story of what InvaderTech is sayin. “Don’t be a dumbass”!

[@jojojeep1]

Those cops are such an idiot old steering wheel. Don’t come off it’s still against the law. Meanwhile, I can imagine whats sitting in the garage and when they get pulled over they show that badge and they drive home, so another words it’s good for them, but not for you.

[@mateosmiscellaneous]

Yeah he made many rookie mistakes

[@emazonreviews6269]

NEVER EVER give ANY more info than required Be polite but firm You have rights ! “Anything you say CAN and WILL be used against YOU” Not “Anything you say will help you “

[@itsDarrell]

Why people still live in California is beyond me.

[@Sarcastic_Asmodeus]

Meanwhile, some kids out there doing street takeovers on stolen cars. Nice.

[@vicnguyen]

exactly.

[@Stannely1]

Bru...😮

[@Alorajones19]

This video just made me realize how lenient the laws are in Florida for modified cars. It really is GTA irl out here.

[@H1GHD3FF]

It starts with 1 state and eventually all others will follows suit

[@calamityking1532]

So basically don't live in Cali with a modded car. Got it :)

[@Motorsportsgeek]

Don't live in Cali period.

[@dankeen6199]

It's not illegal to have QD steering wheel. It's illegal if the modification removes the factory airbag(if the car came with one).

[@devinthecool8391]

did the cop say "deadass" about the steering wheel?? LOL

[@ILikeGayFurries]

Gotta ask

[@vicnguyen]

😂

[@prodzinia]

pretty sure he said “gotta ask”

[@anytow]

Tell the Judge that the wheel is your anti- theft device

[@conspiracy8119]

We should blame the “street takeover” who gives the car scene a bad image. Cops are everywhere giving out tickets for anything small stupid reasons.

[@vicnguyen]

they ruining it for us fr

[@3-65.0]

I'd say moreso has to do with simple racketeering...more money in their pockets, promotions, and etc...go anywhere in va where's there's not a car scene at all, and cops are handing out fix it tickets left and right, even for headlights being too dim or bright,..

[@gnawfam]

Nah cops have been doing modified exhaust tickets aka reasonable cause to pull over pop hood since Paul Walker was alive. Driver needs to learn not to answer so many questions fucking incriminating himself I was upset lol.

[@3-65.0]

@@gnawfam it was even worse before the takeover days, just no documentation...back in 03, people were getting pulled for just having huge spoilers in VA and NC...it's more laid back here now tho

[@AIB_wrx]

I’ve had experience with getting pulled over for a steering wheel before. I just told them I bought it like that and they left me alone. They asked me similar questions as you tho. Now that you got a misdemeanor, you should really just put it back to stock asap.

[@vicnguyen]

definitely putting it back to stock

[@Tommy88833]

Know the law. California doesn’t allow aftermarket parts that affect safety systems like airbags. Unless the car didn’t come with those safety features.

[@oem_spec]

Misdemeanor for a steering wheel is wild 🤦‍♂️

[@vicnguyen]

fr bro 😭

[@lindseyarnold5074]

Steering wheel, that’s bullshit !

[@SSJDanny]

Bro wanted to cry 😂 Welcome to the club

[@vicnguyen]

😂 get me out of this club

[@emazonreviews6269]

Lucky he didn’t right you for the lotion in your car “Anti pornography law, get out the vehicle and drop your trousers !”😂😂😂

[@desertghost5273]

That's why I love georgia, I legit have a straight pipe catless mustang and been pulled a few times for small stuff and not one mention of noise , tint or any bs

[@disorderly888]

what a joke of a state

[@Victor-vq9ks]

They pick and choose who they pull over legit 😭😭

[@vicnguyen]

fr bro 😭

[@gary1134]

Welcome to CA.Pretty much 1of 4 worst U.S. states that pulls over modified cars.I’ve been pulled over at least 4X when I use to drive my modified ‘95 Acura integra. No front plate is usually one reason to pull u over to check out your car.Don’t believe that cop about a misdemeanor over an after market steering wheel,he’s totally lying.He’s just trying to scare u.I’d say take off your exhaust,pay the ticket,& then put it back on.Leave your front plate on, for sure he won’t bother u again.Take care,bro!!👍

[@eyesears113]

In California attaching a non-airbag steering wheel is allowed if the car did not come with airbags from factory. That applies to exhausts as well (as long as the sound doesn’t exceed 95 dB). Which means, GET A CLASSIC CAR, BRUH! 1975 and under. No smog emissions either…ever…

[@Lee-bn4su]

Loving these vlogs bro! Keep it up 🙌 🔥

[@vicnguyen]

thanks bro!

[@jasobeats2644]

Handled this stop like a champ, fam.

[@vicnguyen]

appreciate that!! 🤝🏼

[@edgarlack8724]

What if you tell a cop you can't open the hood, what will the penalty be? I don't understand why people do it willingly because I will just sit there and wait for the ticket that he pulled me over for. And if it's about decibel I hope his decibel meter is working and presented during the trial, this BS.

[@vicnguyen]

i feel like the harder u make the for the cop, the harder they’ll make it for you…

[@Gslidin]

I did that & the mf told me he’ll just pop it open at the impound I told him the latch was broken & he told me if I figure out that hood situation he’ll decide if he’ll impound it or not so I pop it open he instantly took a picture of my engine bay & said that’s all I need & got state ref for modified emissions “ & got to drive the car home 🤦‍♂️😤

[@Gslidin]

They can just impounded it if they want to so it’s 50/50 & I just got the car out the impounded didn’t wanna pay another 3k to get it out🤦‍♂️

[@PicassoSensei]

“Off The Record” has good ticket lawyers too

[@Robsgetinlit]

This👆🏻

[@vicnguyen]

appreciate this!!

[@whelmanlandry]

Would cost much more than the ticket

[@PicassoSensei]

@@whelmanlandry lawyers on OTR are super affordable. I’ve used it several times and only paid around $100 each time

[@hyenaman007]

I’m glad I live in Arkansas. Cause ain’t no way a mf cop about to tell me what I can and can’t have . Tf.

[@nolannatalaray6783]

Misdemeanors won’t hurt any opportunity for jobs or anything ! It’s considered minor in court

[@archielopez7879]

Cops going after car enthusiasts instead of criminals. This is the reason why I don’t drive my Evo x across town. The reason why I chose Greddy over HKS, ETS, Tomei.

[@kevindoidge9586]

Everyone should move at the same time.

[@StevenDeeven]

Brooo, this sucks!! Like 10 truly modded cars passed by, but you had to be the one to pull over and I think that it wasn't the biggest deal. If I was the cop, I would've let you go with just a warning, not a ticket. I hope you get everything done with no inconvenience, brother. Much love!

[@vicnguyen]

wish u were my cop 😂 appreciate it!

[@StevenDeeven]

Imma submit an application. 🤣

[@morrisdc5814]

so any vehicle that didnt come w an air bag is illegal in cali?

[@kylobrazyy]

cop sees/hears modified car drive by fast and they just look at it like "damn that was nice"😭

[@vicnguyen]

😭

[@carportmods]

Commiefornia. All of that is ridiculous. We are the opposite in Texas. This is our last year of yearly inspections. 🤣

[@code_6]

27317 (c) CVC is the misdemeanor. (c) is when a shop or someone else installs the modified steering for compensation. Your citation is an infraction (fine + proof of correction). You installed the steering wheel. Install another steering wheel with an airbag (POC) then pay the fine, $100 + administrative fees. Cop is a doofus who doesn't exactly know the law. You're lucky no front plate 5200 CVC + window tint 26710 CVC wasn't added to your citation. Doofus could have rung you up, bro. The other thing is you mentioned a couple of times why the officer pulled you over since your exhaust wasn't too loud at the time of the stop. The police must have probable cause to stop and detain you. In this case, even though he did not specifically state his probable cause, he observed that you had no front plate. This was the probable cause for the vehicle stop.

[@jetknight7562]

This goes back to the mid-80s. cops always looks for something just to get you a ticket ...

[@sjsharktank6106]

Got state reff both exhaust and emissions. Went with off the record for lawyer paid $200. I put the car back to stock and got my case dismissed. I’m also from SJ

[@vicnguyen]

which lawyer did u go to?

[@PoHMotivation]

If you leave it like that, they will see it on your record and then you might get arrested “for disobeying law enforcement” “non-correct able” means they just won’t sign off on it, you still have to correct it or not at your own risk, so yeah if you get the ticket all dismissed, you can still rock the wheel until another cop gets you

[@vicnguyen]

appreciate the information!

[@Bk2Jonnyboi]

This video made me realize how lucky i am to live in NC the laws here are so chill like there’s literally a 1100hp gtr up the street from my house that the owner daily drives

[@IceDragonz255]

I have rainbow holographic window tint on my BRZ itasha in NC and cops see me and gives me thumbs up. Not to mention my exhaust and everything. Damn im happy to live in NC

[@Stuckinthepast_]

I hate California I live here myself and I’ve been reffed to before .. take overs did kill it for us

[@vicnguyen]

they ruining it for us fr

[@sfGiantsboi03]

I hate California car laws, they are the absolute worst.

[@vicnguyen]

‼️

[@wesleyjones1169]

This is why I now drive a stock Toyota Camry.

[@elijahmidel]

Not sure about your situation but when I was state reffed for the first time all I did was pay the ticket and never went to the state ref

[@OhhitsWill]

The exhaust is a fix it ticket? If so any department / Officer / CHP can sign that off

[@vicnguyen]

he said non-correctable…

[@rpmreyes]

Not in Cali. I believe the only "fix it ticket" you can get here are tinted windows and no plates on the front bumper. Exhaust is automatic state ref. Even if your exhaust is as quiet as an oem exhaust, theyll still give you a state ref ticket as long as it looks like an aftermarket exhaust.

[@garebear8543]

Get a lawyer brodie... I got my ticket dismissed. I got pulled over in Seal Beach for tint and he got me for the steering wheel. My lawyer was David Dastrup. Hes local to OC and LA. Idk about SD.

[@jojojeep1]

They slap you with a violation then they act like they, your friend, helping you figure it all out, well, guess what if you didn’t give me a ticket in the first place, you wouldn’t have to tell me how to figure it out

[@alane1000]

Move out of California asap!!!

[@vicnguyen]

if only it was that easy haha

[@ProffesionaIHater]

get this criminal behind bars...

[@vicnguyen]

yo chillll 💀

[@antisocialvr6]

This is why my Volkswagen stays in the garage

[@BRZguy]

If these takeover idiots weren't doing all of that stuff, I doubt that the laws would be as strict as they are. They're killing the car community with their shit.

[@vicnguyen]

factsss

[@eliyahabraham3292]

I don’t think law enforcement clearly understands these laws that Newsome passed.

[@xxCablexx]

did you have to fix the exhaust or was it fine only?

[@vicnguyen]

it was non-correctable!

[@Subieangel]

they told me the same shi told them i bought the car with the quick release still got ticketed

[@OhhitsWill]

Just hire a traffic attorney brodieee

[@vicnguyen]

most likely going this route!

[@cobraman897]

There are homeless people and drugs all throughout California and these guys are pulling you over for some b.s. what a garbage state and some lame ass cops

[@Emperor_1971]

Man bro they will use excuse just to pull you over for bs I got that alot they use front plate,lower n muffler to pull me over then want to search my car find nothing n most times never give me a ticket but charging you that is just bs

[@anytow]

Where in Cali is this happening? Not in the Bay Area, that I know. There must be no violent, or property crime in the area right? I have a W124 Mercedes that looks like a Hammer. I’m considering swapping an aluminum Ls3. My understanding is that the swap just needs to pass the emissions standards for the year of the engine. I know that I have to take the car to a ref, etc. So tell me where this is happening and I will never go there.

[@vicnguyen]

pacific beach, san diego

[@anytow]

Thanks, That’s really f/u! You are a student at UCSD right? Just minding your own business and these jackasses tax you. Get through Collage, get a degree and then you will be able to stop that nonsense. There are more important issues that local L/E needs to address. These idiots are just punching the clock. Sad…

[@tkyouastar]

this my worst fear in cali , also got a brz

[@ruralrouteadventures8424]

What a P.O.S. Officer dudes literally driving his car that he built to his liking. 90% of the vehicles are modified and not hurting anything. I’ve seen tweekers with vehicles that shouldn’t be on the road at all and you don’t bother them. Then to top it off you give him a misdemeanor. Way to make a persons life harder. You need to be removed from your job. If he was out racing or causing trouble it would be one thing but he was just driving.

[@vicnguyen]

thank you!

[@sungkim742]

That's why i left California long ago.

[@whatm4339]

Weird question but where ur hoodie from looks comfy asf

[@vicnguyen]

hahaha it’s essentials fear of god

[@anytow]

You know that they profiled you.

[@Zed32_Customs]

For fucks sake bro. A steering wheel? Why do you care about MY face?! Like ??? I love cali, but this is the shit that will make me never move back. Edit 1: Also, that cop was 100% insinuating that youre a "street racer" (takeover guy, but they don't know the difference). Stop answering questions too, jesus. Edit 2: Cali cops are a joke. I was in cali for 3 days and managed to get pulled over for no plates (temp tag in the rear window). 3 fucking cop cars, 5 cops. Held me up for like 25 minutes doing a bunch of shit and asking the same 3 dumb ass questions over and over. Seriously.

[@ceelowww_]

You should’ve said you bought the car with that steering wheel on 😭🤦🏻‍♂️ you should never admit to any mods at least next time you know 🤣

[@vicnguyen]

noted ✍️

[@dehhota]

they so lame bruh smh

[@vicnguyen]

‼️

[@Stealth_vision]

Bruh imagine chris Borge prank ur ass 😂😂😂😂😂

[@vicnguyen]

💀

[@yg78t76t7]

Get a lawyer, they will reduce it to a ticket (no misdemeanor on your record, especially if you are clean). Also, you should always say that your car came like that when talking about mods. Never admit to modding your car.

[@Khoidizzle]

Careful who you vote for...

[@raw525]

I would have told that nerd cop go write up the the ticket and stop talking to me

[@vicnguyen]

😂💀

[@thefitnesslife4988]

Just leave your car stock if you live in Cali or move to a different state.

[@nightrunner0218]

new here , btw is this in chula vista area? prolly the same dude again. smh. just put everything back to stock and u should be good.

[@vicnguyen]

it was pacific beach area!

[@H1GHD3FF]

Loud leads to unnecessary drama. Police use it against you

[@kyrouske]

Thank god I gtfo Cali. Them Sac cops dont play too

[@TheChromeCannon]

why stay in cali at this point? that whole detachable wheel, i would look into that. thats gotta be made up on the spot for a extra write up for his quota. hope you take it to court and let this video be played for the judge

[@misael1396]

Judge is gonna be on the cops side. It’s illegal to have an aftermarket steering wheel with no airbag

[@Fasstv8]

Lmao cali bending you all over

[@vicnguyen]

ayooo ?!?

[@jianafaith]

rip the nardi

[@vicnguyen]

💀

[@yume8380]

Man, this is California today, unless you are stealing and or a homeless crack addict they will leave you alone....If I were you I would put everything back to stock and just drive it like that, 10 years from now that stock car will be worth more than any modified FRS or BRZ, trust me, been there done that, car is already perfect when Toyota released it, good luck.

[@tommyly1415]

Bro the reason you got pulled over becuz you made eye contact with the cops. I drive a WRX with a modified exhaust and i never make eye contact with the cops when i see them on the road.

[@vicnguyen]

true… that eye contact got me

Stop living in California and get a lawyer

[@jojojeep1]

Do you have to get out of that snowflake liberal state, I see more videos of this type of shit my heart breaks for you young kids it’s got to suck to have the car of your dream and not be able to make it the way you want. I’m glad I live where I live brother they don’t even have state inspection.

Cali SUCKS!

Your lame

[@krusatoh]

Boo hoo

[@VintageVaughnVehiclces]

EPA mandate cars designed to clean the air. You got to go back to the 1970s to get a decent car and enjoy the 14 miles to the gallon. And the buying of the non-ethanol gasoline.
