hey all so i had a running with an itchy trigger finger tonight.
originally got pulled over for an RBT which i was happy to comply with (had been watching some friends perform had 1 beer over 4 hours which i told them about) anyway after i blew no where near the limit they decided to start going over the car. they came up with that the inner edge of my front right tire is looking a little low, and i have recently installed angel eyes (which were not turned on) and they pointed out that they are illegal. my thoughts on the angel eyes is they are not to be used while driving but are not infact illegal if you get me. anyway after them asking how they are powered i popped the bonnet and showed the cable going to the battery when they said it had to be unplugged, with out any tools i tried to just pull it out of the terminal (has 3 ports and shares with one of the major car ones) and then the power cable comes out with it... in case my night couldn't get any worse when i asked if they had a screw driver that i could use to put it back as the car wouldnt work they simply got back in the car and drove off although not before slapping me with a $99 defect notice and demand that i go over the pits. just wondering if people know if it is actually illegal to have angel eyes or just the USE on the road? as the two cops had discussion about this point. the other thing is i have an after market exhaust with hi-flow cat and really dont want to get slapped with emissions also. if the car has a minor defect will they check this? if so anyone with a xforce exhaust in the ACT be able to lend me a cat they might have thats not a 100cpi? thanks for any advice or help people can offer in my best course of action
