Also, now I am not sure about this, but where does it say that an intake that is other then stock is illegal? I haven't seen that, but I guess a law like that could exist.
Lastly, his car is bright orange, true. He choose a car with that color, true. He should be condemed to an endless string of tickets for it. FALSE!!! By your line of thought, any and all brightly colored cars should be pulled over. Take a look at some of the cars that manufacters have been spitting out over the past few years. Bright yellow Integras, Mustangs, and Corvettes are everywhere. Nissan paints Xterras yellow as well. Nissan also paints a lot of there cars BRIGHT ORANGE!!!! As does Mazda. I could keep going, but the point is, just because his car is a bright color doesn't mean he needs to be pulled over. Granted, bright cars do make easier targets because they stand out. However, what you have described is also profiling. Police profile everyone, even though they aren't supposed to. His car is just an easy target. I guess he shouldn't complain if he gets pulled because his car does draw a considerable amount of attention, but at the same time don't damn everyone with a bright with an arguement like "bright colors are for city workers". Bright colors are for anyone who wants them.
"Hey Genius" He is operating the vehicle on Virginia roads, under Virginia law. It goes the same way with lifted trucks, surely there is the 10 foot to the headlight rule in some states like Alaska, but try bringing that truck into Virginia. You can roam around North Carolina on 44's and have NC plates coupled with an NC inspection, but try to tell a cop that. All you need is a PO box in North Carolina or Georgia to obtain plates. Virginia laws are still into effect, you are operating the vehicle here.
His Civic was not stock orange, I know that cars are painted this color from the factory. Police do not profile them, they just SEE them more than they would see a flat black or white civic. Why? Because the fucking thing is bright orange. He is being pulled because of the color of his car, i've never been pulled for exhaust. Reason being is because I drive lucrative vehicles that do not pull a cop's eye. I had a bright red f-250 lifted up on 39.5's a few summers back. I never had a ticket until I drove this vehicle -> got lift tickets, speeding tickets, tire width tickets, altered air intake tickets, although my exhaust was perfectly stock minus the headers. I got rid of the truck, drove the exact same way I always do. I have not seen a ticket since.
His car is orange, it is itching for tickets as it draws attention. You see a bumble bee driving down the street in a flock of black cars, no shit he's going to be pulled and i'm sorry but he can get a ticket no matter what state his vehicle is registered in.
