That's exactly the problem.

Are police officers experts on every single performance package offered for every single car? Such as M Performance, AMG S, even Honda HFP? Do police officers carry certified measuring equipment to make judgments on things like ride height, exhaust noise, etc?

When I was moving, I loaded up my old TSX full of stuff. I'm talking the entire trunk and passenger area aside from the drivers' seat had boxes, bags, small appliances. The rear of the car was squatting significantly lower than stock. And obviously there was more camber than normal. Could a car like that, an otherwise stock car, get a VI because it is "too low" or for "irregular camber"? Is a police officer a certified technician who has knowledge of "normal" suspension behavior?

Seems to me that what people who are wishing to fight these types of actions - which, unfortunately seems to be out of the question unless you have a ton of money and/or time - should be focussing on is what specialized certification and training, if any, is given to police officers to decide what is worthy of a VI and what is not...
