Money is money. People spend money on their cars because it adds intrinsic value. A vehicle inspection does not add any value.

I believe a majority of people here are confident that they are not violating the MVA, but are we confident that some of the VPDs know the MVA? No.
If a VPD ripped up a VI-passed sticker off a car and reissued another VI, what stops them from doing it again? This is the risk and issue with the law that is causing people to unmod their cars and keeping it near stock, as they do not want to deal with this potential issue, even after passing VI modified under compliance with the MVA.
I get that you are playing devils advocate, and it does help generate discussion. But in a situation like this, where non-violators are being affected with repercussions only being dealt to us, it is unfair to us. Cops are to serve public interest. Even if we are a minority in the community, we still pay our taxes and are not violating the law. The whole issue is how one-sided the law policies are in regards to the issuance of VIs where no accountability is held when a person is innocent.
