Cops out here are trained to to spot out illegal (smog related) mods to cars and they then send you out to the state smog referee station. Any bling parts are a dead giveaway, so we Krylon everything. We're kind of forced to have sleepers. I think in LA they smash your car if you're caught street racing. This all comes from a year when there was 14 or so street racing related deaths in a year, one was killed by the son of a friend who t-boned a Firebird with his S-10. He's doing 25-life right now. So a lot of cities in So Cal adopted all these anti-racing laws. You get 3 days in jail for WATCHING a race in San Diego. I believe participating is a felony now. The funny thing is, San Diego has so many other little cities in it, that you can drive a couple miles and not get such a harsh sentence if you're caught. But within city limits you're screwed.
