Check this ridiculous thread out...

Holy hell, rediculous indeed!
"Just as an FYI I profile your POS rice rocket and YES I would have you pop the hood. It is not a search in MD to have you pop the hood. I am allowed by MD law once I have my PC for a stop to conduct a FULL vehicle inspection on the side of the road to include driving it for a breif distance if I so choose to. However thats a bit much. Poping the hood looking for the turbo or the NOS tubes is plenty enough for me.*
If you refuse? Then you get to go to jail for failure to obay a lawful order and I yank you through the vent window, you go to jail, and I impound your car......after I inspect it."
A stock evo... and he's told by cops if you don't like it, sell your car. Wtf? They can't say give me your keys I wanna take it for a spin.. at that point I for sure would fail to comply.
