I will have to review the law.
I hope you are right but there is also the possibility of getting dinged for street racing when you aren't and then you wind up in court beating the racing charge but getting dinged for tampering.
Again mostly correct.
If you are there watching street racing, you are considered a participant and can get busted and possibly your car impounded but this is rare.
Another way to loose your car is to speed over 100 MPH.
Also reckless driving, that's three consecutive violations.
So if you do 70 MPH in a 30 zone that's two, then run a stop sign, by by car.
The emission equipment is only a $50.00 fix-it ticket and a Smog Check.
So you fix-it (change the hose), get a smog check, (car passes), pay the $50.00 fine.
If you are not involved in or watching street racing, this ticket is NEVER going to happen.
Cops don't give out emissions tickets too much because of all the law suits, remember they are not State Licensed Smog Techs.
You are more likely to get a ticket for window tint if it is too dark.
This one you don't have to fix anymore, just pay the $50.00 fine.
