[QUOTE="Stangra, post: 16307310, member: 193061"] Unfortunately, under California Assembly Bill 1824 that took effect Jan 1, the cops not only have the authority to cite for exhaust noise levels but now it's no longer just a fix-it ticket it's a trip to the BAR Referee Center to verify compliance. It's not "DOT" or "Safety" or Emissions that gives this authority but noise, and it's subjective on the part of the officer to decide if a Referee is needed. A "Certificate of Compliance" will be required to clear the citation. If he [i]thinks[/i] you're too loud you're off to the Referee. When enacted it was intended as another tool to control illegal Side Shows, but because of it's subjective nature it can be and is being misused. Unfortunately I don't think refusal to inspect will avoid the BAR Referee inspection requirement and a lawsuit isn't likely to get any traction.
