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"

Complete utter bullshit. My car has a valved exhaust and the dealership does a resonated delete with a
factory oem part that we can back up obviously with
factory warranty on top of this. If this is in fact true, then they are literally just spewing shit out of their asses at this point to get you that ticket.
I wonder what will result in them telling me this again if I take out my phone to record what they are telling me because they stand for the law since they are law enforcement. And if they're not telling the truth then I don't know what is the law.
Sport and Sport+ is a feature on the vehicle and honestly I can do whatever the fuck I want with the functions as long as I keep it within the law. Fuck, next thing you know they tell you listening to the radio while driving is illegal because it's "distracted driving"
