It does not matter what state you are in the Constitution garuntees certain rights one is the pursumption of innocence or "innocent until proven guilty". Even if the cop writes

It does not matter what state you are in the Constitution garuntees certain rights one is the pursumption of innocence or "innocent until proven guilty". Even if the cop writes a ticket he has to site which law he believes you broke. You then you go and plead. This is your choice not the states. If you plead not guilty than it may go to trial if the judge feels tha the state has enough evidence connecting you to a crime (speeding case it's varified by radar usually).

Also a law outlawing "aftermarket" parts or "modifying" a car is hard to write. It is a modification to the car if I use a different oil filter or brake pads than the OEM. That's why states don't outlaw "aftermarket" items. Doing so would put autozone and pepboys out of buisness and force car buyers into monoplized car maintenance through Nissan dealers.

No what states do is enforce certain legal standards. Like emissions, noise, ride high, even brightness of headlights and taillights. If you get a ticket for "noise" most likely the cop has been trained on hearing the exhaust from a certain distance. And that will be his testimony. You get a chance to dispute his testimony with what ever evidence you have. The best would be proof that it isn't louder than legal limits or it could be that see just saw an "aftermarket" exhaust and was picking on you. The verdict will condown to "reasonable doubt".

Again you seem pretty certain that "most states" outlaw aftermarket parts. I just ask you to show me one.

Again every state has different laws plus you also have local codes. However you want to make a big issue with me about this.

I know some of the laws of the state and local county I'm currently living in, if not I will research.

You can check your own laws or requirements in your current state!

But I also agree that the cops can be a$$holes and prejudice with some cars when it comes to aftermarket parts depending of the state or county they are in, take for example California.

Is the FI exhaust 50 state legal? Being that they operate out of Ca did they get CARB approval for the exhaust?
