Yah, that's what I said. He's like no the further he got the louder I got??? I was so low in the RPMs too lol. 1200 RPM going up a hill. I'm not denying the fact that my car would have gotten a ticket for noise any other time but just at that exact moment my car was dead ass quiet like any other car and my friends car was the loudest thing.
The cop told me that the ticket is no points, however if you search up the law its 3 demerit points, so yah. I don't care about the ticket itself but the points? Why did he lie about the law directly to my face?
The ticket says
Unnecessary Noise
(4x loud muffler/exhaust)
7A.01
Which by definition of the MVA is
No person shall start, drive, turn or stop any motor vehicle, or accelerate the vehicle engine while the vehicle is stationary, in a manner which causes any loud and unnecessary noise in or from the engine, exhaust system or the braking system, or from the contact of the tires with the roadway.
But I wasn't even revving?
Then he proceeded to tell me that BMW valved exhaust is illegal (I don't have valved), which means that even a base model 3 series with stock exhaust can get a VI, because those come valved from factory and work on two basis, either vacuum, or you can go into sport and it will open the valves. He also said Sport and Sport+ are illegal on the road. Which is retarded to why manufacturers are allowed to add these features to normal 3 series.
Anyways, case law from 2012 says cops can give you a ticket without a sound measuring device from their own expertise lol. Which is funny cause the cop didn't even know exactly what I was driving even with the badge clear as day on the trunk. At first he thought I was normal 3 series until I told him no, this is an M3 with a V8. That's when he backed off slightly with the "Order of Inspection"
