Found this posted by local CHP today. Not sure if it's in immediate effect or not, but it was passed back in June.

Where did you find that? Subdivison of another CVC?

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-19-2018, 06:38 AM

Bet you you still won't see muscle cars or bro trucks being pulled over. I don't even see coal rollers getting pulled over. It's always Japanese cars and every now and then, a Euro.

It was passed in a bill by a budget committee amending the current CVC. CVC 40610(b)(4) now excludes CVC 27150(a) and 27151(a).

Love Vermont! Unless you have a gun pointed out your window at a middle school, cops don't look at you twice. Or unless you have window tint. Just these two.

In a way though, you can just eat the fine and if there's no correction required, there's no action you need to take. You're just running at risk of getting a ticket. Maybe they did it to reduce the amount of non-sense people are tying up the police for. "LOOK OFFICE, I'M STOKK!!!" "Where'd the melon launcher go? Shit. All right kid, you're all set"

So what do tickets like this run? $500? $1000?

Lame rule that doesn't appear to be enforced on the loudest cars on the road (bro dozers, muscle cars, Harleys)

So does this mean they perform a db test on the side of the road, or up to the officers mood on that day if they feel like dropping a ticket? Without any actual documentation on how loud is too loud at the time of ticketing?

Like what if your exhaust goes to like 92db, but the officer decides nope thats too loud for today? Are you screwed into paying a massive ticket because the officer decides its too loud but doesn't document how loud?

With this law I can assume you can take it to court and argue that it is not too loud, then I guess you need another officer to take a sound test? Seems like things get muddy quick.

If I ever get a too loud exhaust ticket (I shouldn't with stock everything except the 2.5 resonated perrin catback) you bet your ass I'm going to traffic court to fight it.

Yeah, I bet this leads to a lot of tickets being fought that weren't before. But I'm no expert on how the CVC works since a lot refers to other sections both directly and indirectly.

CVC 27150 is at the core, but it is not the section that lists over 95db. That is 27151, which is listed separately as an exclusion. So does this mean any exhaust can be written up under 27150 even if at/under 95db?
