Ok, last night I got stopped by the same county cop that gave me a ticket for my license plate cover a couple months ago. In the previous stop, he told me it was illegal to make the exhaust tone of your vehicle louder than stock. I told im that wasn't the case, but didn't push the issue and he let it go.
Last night he stopped me because of my exhaust and we went through the whole thing again except I told him the cat back was labeled as 50 state legal. He retorts with 'That's not true and I've talked with the State's Attourney and he says that he will prosecute anyone that an officer decides to write up for this violation.' Then he handed me my stuff and let me go!? Don't get me wrong, I don't intend on changing my exhaust...but I would like to get the story straight and maybe have some back-up paper work with me if the cops are gonna start this friviless non-sense. Has anyone researched this issue in deapth. Any ideas on where to go for Illinois legal regulations on the internet? Thanks, Marcus -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

This particular County cop has gotten me the last two times on 116 coming out of German town Hills toward Peoria. He sits right before the speed limit jumps up to 55MPH. This guy is obviously stalking me because the last ticket I had before the license plate cover was by him also. He nailed me coming home from Eureka on 117 after I put 8 hours in at work on a Sunday. It was right after I got the Talon and I wasn't used to it yet. That means my last speeding ticket was almost 3 years ago! Knock on wood.
On a side note...the Circuit Clerk that took my money for the speeding ticket told me this guy never lets anyone go after she seen his name on the ticket. Nice! :roll: Marcus -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo
