Exhaust ticket in NY - how to fight it???

[Vteckidny]

NYPD me today.

got an "excesive noise/unreasonable exhaust" summons and I have no idea how to fight it or if its worth fighting.

Damn the 'packs n x-pipe!

Whats the penalty for an exhaust thats too loud? I might as well just pay it and get this over with. Not sure how much this ticket could be. Any ideas?

I have to go to Queens Co. court next month.

Do you have cats? What kind of packs?

 

[caveman6666]

BS. Before Herr Rudy came along, they never used to bust for crap like that.
Is it a mandatory court appearance, or can it just be mailed in?

If I were you ... I would reregister with a more related name since you currently only got 2 posts anyways.. It would be better in the long run ..

It amazes me though!

That in NYC, they can do all kinds of construction at wee hours of the morning, wake everybody up, there is no emergencey- use jack hammers @ all hours of the night-Not give a crap about-people who are residents and-And the city is the main culprit, and break balls-for an exhaust.

Its all about the $$$, or maybe a "ricer" with a badge-Hit you up! To me-NYC SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-I know-I live here. Cant wait to move.

Sorry about your ticket-man.

get someone to write you a receipt for new quiet exhaust. show them the receipt and tell them you had the problem taken care of. Only thing is if your goinng to traffic court,the five boroughs and suffolk county are run by the DMV. The DMV uses judifcation judges. That is why they don't wear robes. You also don't have to stand when they enter the room. These clowns are on DMV payroll. Therefore they must bring in income to support them being there. chances are you will pay a fine . How much will depend on your driving record and the mood that the so called judge is in. believe me they will look at your driving record. DMV courts $uck monkey balls.

 

[avelleno]

I agree-with ya Powershots!!!!!1

So very True!
This is a bonafide fact! And your guaranteed-that they will get you for something, you will not leave that court with some kind of fine. maybe not the full fine, but some kind of court cost bull'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me'!
He must of gotten you during his Quota time. But hey-remember-They dont exist! Yeah right!!!!
Actually-i would just pay it throught the mail-If i could. Your getting strong armed anyhow-So What does it matter, Its not worth the AGITA your gonna get before, during and afterwards dealing with these incompetent individuals, But i would remember his name and shield# and precinct-Without a doubt!

Good Luck-though

You got that right. G'dam kangaroo courts. Only way to get out of it is if the cop don't show up twice.

actually i just looked at the ticket again and I have to show up at Queens Criminal court, not a DMV office...not sure if this makes a difference.

When the cop handed me the summons she told me to bring in a repair recipt and it would be thrown out, but will anyone actually inspect my car?

So i guess i will go in - plead guilty, show the recipt and pay the fine.

Thanks guys

I got a ticket for my exhaust before. The 'packs sound soo damn good though, I'll never take them off no matter how many tickets I get. Anyway, I just took it to my buddies exhaust shop, he signed the ticket saying I fixed my exhaust, and I handed it in. Look for a ghetto exhaust shop to "inspect" your exhaust and sign the ticket. I can think of a few shops around here that would sign the ticket and let you be on your way. I guarantee you can find a shop around you that will do tyhe same. I know the fine for not having CATs in PA is is around $2500.

 

[powershots]

criminal court is a different story. driving without cats is a big offense. you are violating EPA regulations. (like a lot of us). chances are you can get off with a receipt. good luck.

you have an off road x pipe with cats? which one is it. if it is off road x pipe with magnapacks then that is damn loud. not that you should get a ticket for it, but if it is high flow x pipe then it should def. not be that bad.

I've learned to appeal everything, dont just give htem your money without making them work. A lady cop gave you the ticket, I guess anything louder than her vibrator is too loud. Hate cops for pulling people over for exhaust. Mass area I never see a Harley Pulled over just cars. Im a fan of loud exhaust. You could get lucky in court and get in thrown away with a receipt. Or aleast reduced fine. Dont give up, Fight the Police

 

[avelleno]

Ya know-Come to think about it-Your right!!!!

I never see any Harley's pulled over for a loud exhaust.......
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess motor vehicle profiling!!! huh.....
