There's no reasonable justification for the current wave other than subjective "safety violations" when there are much more mechanically defective cars on the road. But your car is a little low? Apparently it's far less safer than the shitbox with three lights out, bald tires, oil leaks, and trash inside up to the windows. But those people get a pass because the former is being profiled for appearing to have some money to deal with the issue because their car is not a grey cuck box.
As a side note, have there been any reports of classic muscle cars being stopped for VIs yet? I'd like to see what Cain and Co do to boomers who have nothing but time to fight one, or are they getting a pass because there's an bias against non-American cars.

Unlike back before 2010 (pre-iPhone 1), people only heard of this enforcement action. Everything now is on social media. There's still a lot of meat on this subject to chew on.
