CA Modified OR EXESSIVELY LOUD EXHAUST FINE
New in Cali:
They changed the law to allow cops to FINE modified or excessively loud vehicles. $1000 non-correctable fine. I doubt a cop knows what a stock STi sounds like.... Sounds like profiling is now legal. Please help stop by signing petition below: Petition · Jay Obernolte: Nullify Fines for loud mufflers: AB 1824 in California · Change.org https://www.change.org/p/jay-obernolte-nullify-fines-for-loud-mufflers-ab-1824-in-california

This is such an over reaction its bot even funny. The only change to the law is that its a straight ticket instead of fix it ticket. The decibels and other details of the exhaust law haven't changed at all.

I'm in favor of this law; Ban all fart cannons, and fine the wankers that use them!

Doesnt matter if you drive a fart cannon or a stock STi, it's up to the arresting officer if you owe $1000. I really dont support any blanket law that enables "police officers" to fine you without any way to correct it. Guilty until proven guilty. Good for you RobM, I suppose you support "blue lives matters" and killing unarmed 12yr old girls too? Car guys should support car guys. Not petty theft by cops. |

I guess I use that term incorrectly.
I was calling the person petty, not the amount. |

Is this a moving violation now as well and is considered a point on your record? Because there is so much speculation and over reactions about the "new law"

this is in retaliation for all the 'takeovers' last year. doesnt make any sense because all those ******** were on video, it just a matter of logistics to track em down. lazy ass policing just to do a dragnet, punishing people who have no involvement with those incidents what so ever.

OP, I no longer have a Subie and don't frequent the forum. Would you please post this in the other California chapters, please.
I already signed the petition and scared $hitless with my new ride. |

But you get stuck w/ a $1000 fine. If its non-correctable, wont matter if you're stock. |

That's a muffler tech speaking from a job that relies on modifying exhausts to make a living.
I wouldn't trust his perspective on cops and citations. I've paid enough tickets to pay for 2 kids to go to college. More than half was harassment, I went to court for, the Judge sided with the officer. When it comes to traffic court, you have better chances in a murder trial. The judge will find a way to uphold the fine. It ensures job stability for their work force. Just my opinion/experience with cops and fines. Most cops don't even understand the laws they push... |

A muffler tech that understands and cites actual resources, and possesses working knowledge of the subject vs. a bunch of anecdotal blanket statements. Yes, I'll sign the petition, but it's not worth freaking out over.
There's a big difference between a tastefully modified exhaust note vs. a straight pipe driving through your neighborhood at wee hours of the morning. |

Otherwise, the law didn't change and the ticket is still correctable. What people are forgetting is that this is another reason to get pulled over just for liking cars. The cell phone tickets are supposed to be $25, but I know people have paid $200+ Last edited by RatedR; 01-10-2019 at 07:09 PM. |

Heres the thing.. I got pulled over for cruising under the speed limit, you could barely here my car at that time (cop had his windows rolled up) and just pulled over for being to ""loud"".. I had been driving for 5yrs with this setup, got speeding tickets n nothing about the exhaust, but randomly get harassed this one time when Im obeying the law n cruising... And for some reason lets look under your hood and oh no carb sticker, let me hit you with a state ref...? wtf.. ? The reason this new law is such a bitch.. before it was a fixit ticket. You dont get pulled over often for just a fixit ticket.. Now theres obvious incentive. If your car is loud, its like speeding now. No more, should I waste my time on just the persons exhaust, I can get money out of it..
Im hearing stock sport cars are getting pulled over and ticketed.. What it does it puts money into the refs pocket as you pay to fight it and pass or the court if you go to fight it. Its pretty damn close to racial profiling. Its kinda funny how that is. |

I'd love to know what spl metering and calibration systems officers are carrying on hand to do their measurements.

I dont think you guys are getting it....
There is no need for the officer to use any tools to measure the exhaust level! The law applies to modified or loud exhaust and intake. That's why I was trying to raise awareness. |
