Haha no its true alr33x, i started getting stuck into them cause i'd just changed it over and they were trying to pull this 'oh its sooo loud' thing out of their arses, when half the town owns obnoxiously loud harleys, 2 stroke dirt bikes and "muscle" cars.
You don't see (well I don't at least) GT Falcons, Monaros, Trans Ams etc getting around with canaries much do you?
Oh yeah, we do tend to get the dumb cops here, which can either be a good or bad thing depending on the circumstances. With that particular lot who pulled me over that day, I spent 10 minutes arguing with them that the cat temp sensor which was cut was not the 02 sensor and had nothing to do with emissions, as well as having to explain that the 1998 on the blue plaque meant engine CC's not the manufacture date.
