See where I said "old boy network?" These guys have been here forever, one was born here and never left and his relative of some sort is a Captain. I told him (the PO) it was stock but that wasn't good enough apparently. They will be here tomorrow or Saturday morning with a sound meter of some sort and I'm supposed to wait for them before I leave for work, told them that wasn't going to work because I have to be there to open and I WON'T work around their schedule for something as bogus as this. I should hear from them this afternoon what their plan is.
You would think a 48 year old guy wouldn't have problems like this. I don't rev a car when it's cold ever. I start it and roll out of the driveway a few seconds after that and put it right into 2nd gear as I go by the neighbors house because it's downhill. I do stop at the corner because there's a stop sign so have to get off in 1st there but so does everybody else. Apparently the guy down the street that brings home the F350 diesel work truck is immune at 4:30am... |
If you treat the cop like a ****, be prepared for what you get in return...
Be prepared, show them the car is 100% stock and direct them to the local dealership or Toyota US to deal with it. If the government allows the car to be sold in your area, it's clearly legal. I would also get in touch with Toyota US to get yourself prepared for it.
If they try to pull your plates or registration and you have documentation, the case will get dropped before it sees a judge. If the cop tries again, they'll lose again. Their boss will get sick of it and put an end to it.
You could also proactively go to the police station to talk to the supervisor and show them the proof that the car is 100% stock. For all you know, that might end it right there.
