As if an exhaust is gonna cause all of our cars to explode near minivans filled with children, pregnant women, and baby pandas. I'm still waiting for them to "crackdown" on theft, rape, and murder. I'm not holding my breath though.

This is about as gay as the "terrorist checkpoint" in Centreville a few months back. I didn't have a front tag and the cop asked me if I had it in the car. After I showed it to him he gave me a lecture about how terrorists have been known to steal tags and use them to commit acts of terrorism.
I wonder what they will think of next.

Re: State inspections on 28
actually, now that i think about it, maybe the thread title is a bit misleading. FFX cops are most certianly not going to put your car up on a lift on the side of the road and check for balljoint/suspension/steering play, or pull off 2 wheels to check brakes. However, whatever the fuck it is they were trying to accomplish, was bullshit.

Re: State inspections on 28
Im fairly sure they can, with you driving in their state, you must obey their laws, but i doubt theyd bother with it. Boxer can probably give more accurate info on that than i can though.
