task force in texas
 
hey i new but there is some trouble in texas with imports..... within dfw they are cracking down on stolen parts and popping hoods... so if youre in the Dfw area watch out they out to get us.....they take the cars if one thing does not match up so be careful about parts and have receipts by far.....

How do they catch you? if you get pulled over they can just check under your hood etc.? I'm not from Texas but still I'd like to know. It sucks that alot of guy's are gonna get busted for non street legal parts but it's also a good thing to keep the stolen parts and auto theft under control.

Same thing here in NYC. They have been popping hoods for years. I don't have any stolen parts on my car and never would intentionally buy or use them.

They are starting to pop hoods on Long Island now too.

Anyway, they have been doing this for the longest time in the city. They would shut down both ends of "the strip" and literally go down the line popping hoods. Needless to say many people went home in handcuffs and the rest left at like 9am.

They used to go all out with helicopters and the whole nine. A friend got arrested on a copter night and had to do a whole ---- load of community service for street racing.

If you refuse they get a court order(it takes them 5 minutes),they take your car to the inpound(it costs you $125 minimum a day).If your ---- is illigal(by C.A air reasearch or some ---- standars) they make you rip all the ---- that doesnt have a carb # off before you can go see a ref. and get the thing signed off.Oh yeah you have to smog it before the ref will sign it off.

They have been poppin' hoods in Va for about 2 years now but, we don't have the whole SMOG thing here. you don't have to pass any smog test so we can really use any thing that we want for exhaust, etc. but we do have a noise ordinance. you never see a huge V8 truck pulled over with fukin' straight pipes but I have seen many small cars pulled over for stuff as stupid as an exhaust tip! If you are caught in Va with a Nitrous tank in your car the take it and you can not get it back unless you BUY it back at the damn inpound auction. Most of us solved this problem by putting our nitrous tanks in fake speaker boxes and running the hose out of that through the carpet under the box. we also put dyna mat under our hoods to try to keep some of the other mods quiet. ;D
