SEMA Legislative and Technical Affairs

Intresting read in this months Law and Order section which I have re typed since I cant find a link for it ....

California Street Racing
Existing law in California allows law enforcement to arrest and take into custody a person determined to have been enguaged in street racing. The law also provides for the removal and seizure of the motor vehicle used in the contest. A vehicle impounded under these provisions is required to be impounded for not more than 30 days. New Legislation being considered in the state would require vehicles to be inspected the state police to determine whether the vehicle has been modified for speed enhancement beyond the manufacturers origional equipment specifications. The bill will also require that an additional registration fee of $30 be collected for a motor vehicle so seized and that the motor vehicle be designated as speed enhanced on the certificate of registration for that motor vehicle. SEMA is working with the bill's sponsor to mitigate the inadvertent effects of this bill on law-abiding motorists.

SO what does this mean to those of us with aftermarket equipment .....
Intresting law ...basically this now might gives cops even more of a reason to pull over a car that may "appear modified" for speed contest use, weather it be for legal or illegal purposes....

IF ANYONE IS ON ANY OTHER CAR FORUM POST UP THIS INFORMATION AND SPREAD THE WORD AROUND ....THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS THE BETTER
