Hi, I'm the one with the near stock E30 that got a Box 2 today. I was crawling along in traffic when I was pulled over.
While both officers were very pleasant to deal with, they told me that "any modifications that aren't factory are illegal". This simply isn't true. I asked for a specific section in the MVA that states this and was simply told to go look in the MVA without any further factual clarity.
This is deeply concerning and while I agree wholeheartedly with throwing the book at the kid and his buddies for allegedly doxxing the officer, I absolutely do not agree with punishing every single automotive enthusiast on the road because of their actions. Before my VI, I didn't even know there was this whole drama unfolding.
Regardless, with it being a VI, you can't dispute it and it's an instant $150+ inspection fee (aka. fine) no matter if your car is fully legal or not.
