Need Help with ticket

[HyperTek]

Wassup,
well City of Industry just sucks, I know i heard to stay out of there, but last night my friends forced me to drive to some pool halls, (original plan was for me to ride in my friends car, but another friend forced me to take my car out) and we exited Nogales and bam I get pulled over, first thing cop says to me is "pop your hood open". I said "what if I refuse, what purpose are you telling me?" and they say "we will arrest you if you resist" blah blah... so unfortinutly I had to pop it up.. :madfawk: (woulda cried if I had swapped my sr in), all they saw was a stock KA with a K&N intake system (with carb decal), they said my car was too low and my exhuast is godly loud.. (its a Borla stock replacement muffler on stock piping and just a aftermarket tip, I been pulled over for it before but let go becuase the cop saw that it was stock with a tip). So they wrote me up for that , (also I couldnt find my insurance paper so they wrote that on the ticket too, but the cop said just bring the papers to court)

Well anyways, my car isnt super low, they where just bsing in my opinion. THey noted that its not correctible on my ticket.

Also, they said my car is "Grey" on the ticket, well my car is like 3 diff colors right now, white body kit, half flat black rear(grey left rear panal), and red everywhere else.

Heres a pic of my slushbox in progress...

How can I beat this? since it says grey (i dont think my car was ever technically "grey" since its originally red and only that driver side panal is primer grey, I was planin to paint my car the stock color again in a week anyways, so what if I paint it, and raise my coilovers another inch? I never had a ticket before like this, since cops never really gave me a problem. How does court work if I want to challange this?? I have til 9/9 which is the court date.

Dam I hate Cali, I swear you cant be a car enthusiest and do anything to your car. makes me want a oldskool 240z even more..

[mistaanime]

lol...thats "Super Low?" thats like my sportlines ride height..i don't even know why lowering your car would be a big issue anyway...Grey, Brown, BLack whatever color it is..can't really fight that..unless he didn't make the plates clear...then you can fight it..judge will probably charge you less for a useless stop.

[*NismoS13*]

I'm assuming your license plate number is written on the ticket somewhere. This means that you're probably shit out of luck with beating the color idea. However, raising the car a couple inches might be a good one. Obviously with the body kit on it appears that your car is very low, so raising the coilovers some might give a more stock appearance. I wish I could help out more but you're across the entire country! Sounds like it's getting out of control in CA out there...

Good luck and keep us updated!

LAME! 22 inches to the middle of the headlight is legal limit. My car is low as fuck but thank my homeboy Jesus Christ that we have pop-ups. Haha, that gives you a good 3-4 inches over fixed healights. So yeah flip up your lights and measure!

BUT, with those lame ass 15 inch wheels, you still might be illegal. There is a law that states (mostly aimed at lowriders) the bottom of your car's frame must be higher than the lip of your wheel. Why? If your car is dumped on 15 (or 13s) and you get a flat... your car is now dug into the asphalt and can't be moved, plus the damage to the road. So lets assume you are at 22 inches, and assume i am also. But you have 15s and i have 18s, you still might be illegal and i wouldn't.

On top of that, aero parts are tricky. Aero that's below the wheel lip... i dunno where that will fall. The cops will probably say illegal, but you might be able to argue that the fiberglass will just break before your car hits frame rails or something, i dunno. Eff it, get some 17s or 18s on there already, this is reason for you to do it.

[ranisron]

damn, you get pulled over for this type of thing in cali?

To share my story, I got pulled over speeding, clocked by a helicopter in the 5 mile mark in the state of Ohio... that wasn't too fun, $125 dollars went down to the drain ...

[A Spec Products]

get more extensions that a beauty salon. 2 max.

im just extending my speeding ticket i got twice, then i'll just take traffic school and pay the bail. time value of money states that i'm making the pain less that way.

[dannyboi]

Your problem was asking him a stupid question ("What if I refuse?"). It was even dumber seeing that you had a stock KA with an intake (thus, nothing to hide). Show cops some respect and they'll let you off with a warning.

As for your tickets, you didn't mention him measuring your ride height. Seeing how he didn't really check, most likely he gave you a BS ticket to waste your time challenging it in court (I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show up.. unless cops don't have to show up... I don't know, I don't know the rules in Cali).

Happened to my brother once (acting kind of like a smart ass), except the Chicago police officer flat out told him, "challenge it, we won't show up." He doesn't act like a smart ass anymore, and has gotten off 3 speeding offenses with only warnings.

For future reference, use "Sir" after every sentece you say to a cop.

This is true. Act respectful and you'll get treated with respect. Act like and punk-ass and you'll also get treated like one. Not to say that you were acting like a punk, but if you act like an angel you're chances are much better, trust me.

[mistaanime]

haha yea..they have a point treat the cop with respect..but i mean if he hadn't pulled you over and just went up to your car while it was parked in a parking lot and asked to pop your hood..then you can act like an ass and refuse...

[ranisron]

I've never gotten out any speeding tickets and I have bene VERY polite to the police officer... the newest ticket I got (1 year after I got my licecnse back) - I was being very polite to the officer, I was begging for some reduction on the "exceeded" speed... NO WAY... 82 is 82... so... fuck

[greddys13]

i would of just left the cop w/ my touge skills!!!! j/k

[HyperTek]

well i was nice to the cops, they the fuckers that said street racing is popular there and by using that as an excuse, leads me to believe they are associating me as a street racer...

Now that I think about it, i was originally following my friend in his integra that super loud exhaust, and when i got pulled over, i told 1 of the officers that my exhuast was a OEM replacement muffler and his comment was "why the hell is it soo godly loud?" .. since they popped up behind me, they probably thought that was my car that was loud...

I was given advice to raise my car up, and go get the exhuast tested at a referee station to get a read out of the decibal level. and that should clear me up in court. How would I prove the ride hieght is ok in court? I never been in one, so would I bring pics of the car or bring the car??

dam its soo easy to get pulled over and your hood popped.. I swear I wasnt even doing anything out the norm, ive never had a ticket before.. yah I know diamond bar area sucks tho.

[theicecreamdan]

bring pictures from lots of angles with measuring instruments clearly in the picture? that would seem like a good start,

[Nan Desu Ka?!]

wow im in cali, bay area and i have NEVER been pulled over for BS shit like that *knocks on wood*. and my exhuast is LOOOOUUD. hks superdragger. i drive by cops all the time, never even bat an eye. socal cops are nuts man. the one legit ticket i got, 2 years ago for gross neglegence speed (65 in a 40) the cop didnt even show up to my court date. i got it dropped from a mistimeanor (sp??) to just a traffic violation. still a 375$ ticket thogh :( but i sitll have a clean criminal record and only 1 point on my licnese and not 4 lol.

[Sil-Abc]

can they really say, pop your hood like that without reasoning? i thought that u can refuse to pop your hood if they dont have evident proof of anything illegal. I mean, they prob would say ill arrest you but its only over night. free place to stay :D

[neilsan]

Whats the fine he gave you? If you check off the not guilty box and send it in, a couple months later you'll be sent a court date. day of court talk to the prosecuter and be real, dont go in huffed up and start calling cops dicks or that he picked you out cuz you got a body kit or whatever... just say 'I fixed my exhaust, and my car isnt even lowered' and theyll knock it to like $35.

[makav3li]

they use to be like that a lot down here in san diego 2-4 years ago. thank god for biker boyz, got most of the heat off the cars. so many bikers here are getting harassed now. i was doing about 75 down clairemont on my zx10r, cop pulls me over and gives me a ticket for no mirrors. i didnt give him any lip or anything, so he just gave me a fix it ticket. i was happy

[S13 Charlie]

Like homie said up there, extensions extensions extensions!

Everyone I know that had a ticket and requested the two allowable extensions have had their tickets dismissed due to no-show cops.

[racer98]

Just paid an Ex tricket like this it was $114 LAMC.

Next you have too have a cop sign off on the lowerd ticket so that requires you figure a way too jack up your car too get that stamped off so its a $10 for that one depending what court your at they may also require you too pay a $15 sherrif processing fee

on the last one hopsfeully your insurance is valid and that is also another $10

but I hope it all works out for you.

Man I think any 240sx now is target

[XxJaPxOxNeEs23xX]

heck yeh i juss payed my ticket two days ago. it was 444 nd the cop wen he issued the ticket to me, he said that he wouldnt have given me a ticket if i ddnt have an exhaust. nd he clocked me for 75 on a 40 nd he ddnt even have a gun to prove it. so i want to fight it. nd he also popped my hood nd asked if i did anything, nd all i have is a ka, no intake no nothing. but 444 dollars. freaken ridiculous

[radhaz]

California Vehicle code's breakdown.

24008. It is unlawful to operate any passenger vehicle, or
commercial vehicle under 6,000 pounds, which has been modified from
the original design so that any portion of the vehicle, other than
the wheels, has less clearance from the surface of a level roadway
than the clearance between the roadway and the lowermost portion of
any rim of any wheel in contact with the roadway.

27150.. (a) Every motor vehicle subject to registration shall at all
times be equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation and
properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise, and
no muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass,
or similar device.
(b) Except as provided in Division 16.5 (commencing with Section
38000) with respect to off-highway motor vehicles subject to
identification, every passenger vehicle operated off the highways
shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler in constant
operation and properly maintained so as to meet the requirements of
Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 27200), and no muffler or
exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass, or similar
device.
(c) The provisions of subdivision (b) shall not be applicable to
passenger vehicles being operated off the highways in an organized
racing or competitive event conducted under the auspices of a
recognized sanctioning body or by permit issued by the local
governmental authority having jurisdiction.

16028. (a) Upon the demand of a peace officer pursuant to
subdivision (b) or upon the demand of a peace officer or traffic
collision investigator pursuant to subdivision (c), every person who
drives a motor vehicle upon a highway shall provide evidence of
financial responsibility for the vehicle that is in effect at the
time the demand is made. However, a peace officer shall not stop a
vehicle for the sole purpose of determining whether the vehicle is
being driven in violation of this subdivision.
(b) Whenever a notice to appear is issued for any alleged
violation of this code, except a violation specified in Chapter 9
(commencing with Section 22500) of Division 11 or any local ordinance
adopted pursuant thereto, the cited driver shall furnish written
evidence of financial responsibility upon request of the peace
officer issuing the citation. The peace officer shall request and
write the driver's evidence of financial responsibility on the notice
to appear, except when the peace officer is unable to write the
driver's evidence of financial responsibility on the notice to appear
due to an emergency that requires his or her presence elsewhere. If
the cited driver fails to provide evidence of financial
responsibility at the time the notice to appear is issued, the peace
officer may issue the driver a notice to appear for violation of
subdivision (a). The notice to appear for violation of subdivision
(a) shall be written on the same citation form as the original
violation.
(c) Whenever a peace officer, or a regularly employed and salaried
employee of a city or county who has been trained as a traffic
collision investigator, is summoned to the scene of an accident
described in Section 16000, the driver of any motor vehicle that is
in any manner involved in the accident shall furnish written evidence
of financial responsibility upon the request of the peace officer or
traffic collision investigator. If the driver fails to provide
evidence of financial responsibility when requested, the peace
officer may issue the driver a notice to appear for violation of this
subdivision. A traffic collision investigator may cause a notice to
appear to be issued for a violation of this subdivision, upon review
of that citation by a peace officer.
(d) (1) If, at the time a notice to appear for a violation of
subdivision (a) is issued, the person is driving a motor vehicle
owned or leased by the driver's employer, and the vehicle is being
driven with the permission of the employer, this section shall apply
to the employer rather than the driver. In that case, a notice to
appear shall be issued to the employer rather than the driver, and
the driver may sign the notice on behalf of the employer.
(2) The driver shall notify the employer of the receipt of the
notice issued pursuant to paragraph (1) not later than five days
after receipt.
(e) A person issued a notice to appear for a violation of
subdivision (a) may personally appear before the clerk of the court,
as designated in the notice to appear, and provide written evidence
of financial responsibility in a form consistent with Section 16020,
showing that the driver was in compliance with that section at the
time the notice to appear for violating subdivision (a) was issued.
In lieu of the personal appearance, the person may submit by mail to
the court written evidence of having had financial responsibility at
the time the notice to appear was issued. Upon receipt by the clerk
of that written evidence of financial responsibility in a form
consistent with Section 16020, further proceedings on the notice to
appear for the violation of subdivision (a) shall be dismissed.

On the back of your ticket it should state something to the effect of "Violations of Vehicle Code section 16028 (automobile insurance) will be dismissed upon your showing
to the court that evidence of financial responsibility was valid at the time this citation was issued."

And just to clear up what constitutes financial responsibility you have to look at what is referenced ie "Section 16020"

16020. (a) Every driver and every owner of a motor vehicle shall at
all times be able to establish financial responsibility pursuant to
Section 16021, and shall at all times carry in the vehicle evidence
of the form of financial responsibility in effect for the vehicle.
(b) "Evidence of financial responsibility" means any of the
following:
(1) A form issued by an insurance company or charitable risk pool,
as specified by the department pursuant to Section 4000.37.
(2) If the owner is a self-insurer, as provided in Section 16052
or a depositor, as provided in Section 16054.2, the certificate of
self-insurance or the assignment of deposit letter issued by the
department.
(3) An insurance covering note or binder pursuant to Section 382
or 382.5 of the Insurance Code.
(4) A showing that the vehicle is owned or leased by, or under the
direction of, the United States or any public entity, as defined in
Section 811.2 of the Government Code.
(c) For purposes of this section, "evidence of financial
responsibility" also may be obtained by a law enforcement officer
from an electronic reporting system when that system becomes
available for use by law enforcement officers.
(d) For purposes of this section, "evidence of financial
responsibility" also includes any of the following:
(1) The name of the insurance company and the number of an
insurance policy or surety bond that was in effect at the time of the
accident or at the time that evidence of financial responsibility is
required to be provided pursuant to Section 16028, if that
information is contained in the vehicle registration records of the
department.
(2) The identifying motor carrier of property permit number issued
by the Department of the California Highway Patrol to the motor
carrier of property as defined in Section 34601, and displayed on the
motor vehicle in the manner specified by the Department of the
California Highway Patrol.
(3) The identifying number issued to the household goods carrier,
passenger stage carrier, or transportation charter party carrier by
the Public Utilities Commission and displayed on the motor vehicle in
the manner specified by the commission.
(4) The identifying number issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission or its successor federal agency, if proof of financial
responsibility must be presented to the issuing agency as part of the
identification number issuance process, and displayed on the motor
vehicle in the manner specified by the issuing agency.
(e) Evidence of financial responsibility does not include any of
the identification numbers in paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of
subdivision (d) if the carrier is currently suspended by the issuing
agency for lack or lapse of insurance or other form of financial
responsibility.

As for why the officer put that the infraction of ride height is non-correctable I don't know, unfortunately my experience with cops in Southern California is really poor. I can only imagine that by marking it non-correctable he's forcing you to go to court rather than allowing you the opportunity to resolve the matter without wasting your time. It's ironic and worth noting that the LASD lists violations of vehicle code 24008 & 24008.5 as correctable; however, he could have used vehicle code 40610 to dick you over if he felt the need.

40610. (a) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), if, after an
arrest, accident investigation, or other law enforcement action, it
appears that a violation has occurred involving a registration,
license, all-terrain vehicle safety certificate, or mechanical
requirement of this code, and none of the disqualifying conditions
set forth in subdivision (b) exist and the investigating officer
decides to take enforcement action, the officer shall prepare, in
triplicate, and the violator shall sign, a written notice containing
the violator's promise to correct the alleged violation and to
deliver proof of correction of the violation to the issuing agency.
(2) If any person is arrested for a violation of Section 4454, and
none of the disqualifying conditions set forth in subdivision (b)
exist, the arresting officer shall prepare, in triplicate, and the
violator shall sign, a written notice containing the violator's
promise to correct the alleged violation and to deliver proof of
correction of the violation to the issuing agency. In lieu of
issuing a notice to correct violation pursuant to this section, the
officer may issue a notice to appear, as specified in Section 40522.

(b) Pursuant to subdivision (a), a notice to correct violation
shall be issued as provided in this section or a notice to appear
shall be issued as provided in Section 40522, unless the officer
finds any of the following:
(1) Evidence of fraud or persistent neglect.
(2) The violation presents an immediate safety hazard.
(3) The violator does not agree to, or cannot, promptly correct
the violation.
(c) If any of the conditions set forth in subdivision (b) exist,
the procedures specified in this section or Section 40522 are
inapplicable, and the officer may take other appropriate enforcement
action.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (a), the notice to
correct violation shall be on a form approved by the Judicial
Council and, in addition to the owner's or operator's address and
identifying information, shall contain an estimate of the reasonable
time required for correction and proof of correction of the
particular defect, not to exceed 30 days, or 90 days for the
all-terrain vehicle safety certificate.

I'm not sure where you live but I can recommend Mr. Ticket (http://www.mrtrafficticket.com/) for the San Diego area. Best of luck on getting this resolved.

[HyperTek]

Thanks for the information.. I guess Ill pop off my body kit and get my exhuast decibles read and bring my proof of insurance. With all that, my car should be street legal.

[HyperTek]

the day before i got my ticket, my friend just got his hood popped, stock ka24e, universal air filter, custom cat back, version select body kit.. and he got a bar referal... they got him for exhuast, lowered vehicle, and the intake.. sucks

[Jonnie Fraz]

Should be no prob. once you take your body kit off. Truly if that is your car in your sig. it looks better without the kit IMO. Good luck man.

[kazuo]

Okay, let me tell you what you SHOULD do.

- Put your stock shock/spring back on... for now. This is for the purposes of having "too low" corrected. Your argument in court will be that it was dark and the cop is dumb cause he thought your car was slammed, presumably because of the "exterior body work." :P

- As long as you have stock headers and a cat on that exhaust system, go get it decibel tested by the BAR ref. This way, you get out of that one with the judge, and, for future run-ins with the po po's, you have proof that your exhaust is legal, so cops can't give you shit about it.

- Get your POI and never ever forget to keep that shit in the vehicle. Just another excuse for the po's to fuck with you.

You got it easy, you can easily beat this.

Good luck

[drift freaq]

chalk up another one for the Nazi Los Angeles county sherriffs in the city of Industry. Anyways cops do get paid to show up in court in Los Angeles county. So do whatever you can to get that stuff signed off.
There is a reason why the Sherriffs are like that out in Industry. It basically is due to certain aftermarket brake company calling the cops and letting them know they would be testing their brakes in cul de sac where the company is located in Industry. Cops came out and they proceeded to show the cops their SR powered track car. So they pretty much gave the cops a heads up. This happened around a year and a half ago. People in Industry have been getting harassed ever since.
Up here in Los Angeles proper its pretty much a non issue.
Hyper , you have a pretty good chance of clearing your ticket up without to much trouble.
I would bet you got nailed based on the noise from your friends Integra, because the cops in Industry are specifically keyed to 240sx's you were the culprit in their eyes. sucks.
lesson ? don't drive in Industry if you can help it . Damn, unfortunately to much stuff is located their and some of us have to go there anyways.

[hkspeed]

i live next door to city of industry, and I'm always afraid to drive my 240 around. i wonder how shops like G-Dimension and SP Engineering keep business since theyre in City of Industry. often times i think about selling my 240 or swapping back to a stock KA, because of local sherrifs/chp. luckily i have daily driver (a scion), so I dont drive the 240 much. On average I put only 400 miles a month on it :( .

[thelinja]

damn, you get pulled over for this type of thing in cali?

To share my story, I got pulled over speeding, clocked by a helicopter in the 5 mile mark in the state of Ohio... that wasn't too fun, $125 dollars went down to the drain ...


Yeah dude, here in Indiana they don't give a fuck, it's nice.

[ranisron]

that's why I hated Ohio....

Which part of Indiana are you located?

Hyper:

When I was in Nor-cal (2003) with my modded Altima, I never had any problems with Cops... I guess in So Cal things are getting really insane...

like a lot of the people said, you got a good chance to get your ticket fixed, so good luck

[thelinja]

that's why I hated Ohio....

Which part of Indiana are you located?




Indianapolis

[fliprayzin240sx]

I got popped by CHP once for driving around trying to find the races in frisko following a couple of people. Popped my hood in all its SR illegal glory. Got away with a warning cuz of my FL tags and being in the military, but wuts scary is he knew exactly what it was *either one of those class that they get sent to or SUPERSTREET* Hes like...thats not stock engine huh cuz i see a turbo. I know 240s dont have a turbo then his partner got to back of the squad car and busted this book with engine pictures from mostly imports. Hes like...ill let you go for now just cuz u cooperated, if you were being an ass, i would have ur car impounded for having an illegal engine.

[ranisron]

so basically EVEN if I have an out of state (e.g. Indaina Plate), I will still get pulled over for loud exhaust? :wtf: ... shit, I was thinking about getting a job with Cisco, now I'd better stay where I am lol...

[fliprayzin240sx]

Well its just the noise they can really pop you for. I got a fix it bout a yr ago for my dark ass tint and exhaust. Went to court and judge pretty much threw it out cuz cali really have no jurisdiction on my car. Its not registered here and im not a resident of this state *still pay FL taxes...well not really* The cop harassed me for my tint because of "officer safety", they cant tell if a guns pointed at them if they walk up to my car *thats their excuse to me atleast when they wrote me the tix*

[ranisron]

If I ever move to Cali I'd get RS-R Ex-Mag for sure....

cops dont give a ssssssssshit here in Indiana... just don't do burnouts in front of them :D

[Mervyn]

hmm well to my knowledge, the bodykit cannot pass the bottom tip of your rims. by the way, what bodykit is that?

[royL_w/cheese]

How about a nice $400 speeding ticket. When your friends stupid ass girlfriend decides to punch it to 96mph after an obvious speed trap and your depending on her ass for directions so you say fuck it.

[HyperTek]

so i got the letter in the mail.. ticket is $195.. this is soo stupid,, i have to pay becuase of cops misjudgement??.,. havent gone to chp to get my exhuast tested, but i hear that since they write "non correctible" on the ticket.. that I have no way around this?? I heard that before you could fix it, but since too many people have done that, that they just made it a fine now.. fuck that.. is that true??

Im soo bad at reading the mail when it comes in, that my mom actually saw it and got all worried, then started getting on me about my car.. sucks.. I hate cops. Im starting to hate my friend for making me take my car there that night since he made me take my car.. fawk

No one can "make" you do anything you're not willing to do. You could have said no, you didn't so suck it up. Now if you're done with you're pity party and you want some definitive answers go see a traffic court lawyer and get some answers.

No one that I know of on this board that I know specializes in california law, though most of us have experience with it and have given you as much advice as we could. So now is the time to either put up or shut up. I recommend you don't just settle the ticket but I know that's the easiest and most likely route anyone, probably myself included would take.

Good Luck

[Maeda]

You tell um steve dave!

[chlatboy]

You tell um steve dave!

:stupid:

Both of the guys do have a point. Just do what you gotta do.

[kazuo]

Your friends are stupid.

Go to the ref and get your exhaust tested. Make sure all your engine mods (eg anything that can affect emissions) are removed and that the car is stock in that regard, get the cert and walk away from the ticket.

Didn't I tell you to do this like, 3 pages ago?

Handle your business.
