[QUOTE=tiremann9669;612205]I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but I've never heard of anyone in NY getting a ticket for smoke. Cops here are to bust tryin to bust you for not wearin your seat belt. QUOTE]
I have. Ever heard of J. R. Collins trucking out of Ohio? They have a fleet of Mack dump trucks, and he was truck pull champion a couple times, with the Buckeye Bulldog. ALL his trucks RUN!!!
He got a smoke ticket in NY. $2500, and the truck was impounded. They flatbedded it out of state, and had to fix it before returning to NY. He now runs propane to clear up the smoke.

I take it you have never been in an accident where the vehicle rolled
I have and it is not fun
if I had not had my seat belt on I would have been thrown from my truck and either it would have rolled over me or the other vehicles would have run me over
next time you wanna drive without your seat belt on remember this thread https://www.dieselbombers.com/web-si...ers-busta.html
I t can happen to you or anyone on this site and beleive me there was nothing I could have done to avoid the trailer

It probably wasn't even excessive, more likely just a cop wanting to give a ticket for something.

Why should emitting excessive smoke be a choice? It occurs through modification of the engine to emit higher-than-regulated emissions, the smoke itself is damaging to the human body and it comes with plenty of unseen emissions that are also damaging to the body or the environment, and it's physically an eyesore and possibly a dangerous visual impairment or distraction.
A world where black smoke emissions were unregulated would be a very sooty world.
It should be illegal, there should be factors working to keep us from modifying our vehicles. The factors shouldn't be the federal-level $1,000+ fines, but I have no problem with $100 fix-it tickets being handed out to weed out the irresponsible immature riff-raff and keep it from being too easy.
The same with loud exhaust. It can be very annoying and a world where it was condoned by our governments would be an incredibly noisy world. Fix-it tickets don't keep people from running loud exhaust if they really want to, but it does tend to make them act more responsibly with their loud exhaust and keeps many people on the fence about loud exhaust from going to loud exhaust.
As for seat belts and helmet laws, I don't think they should be around, but in a world where they're already firmly established I don't think they should go anywhere.

im with gijohn go to court and hope the officer doesnt show up...but if you plead "not" guilty that means you can exercise your right to a fair trial in which the judge will have to schedule a jury selection and then schedule a trial session and the officer will have to be present and show some kind of legal proof, in which the judge just might say screw it and throw it out anyways....but if they do give you your trial then you either pay a lawyer or represent yourself with a court appointed one in which if you loose it will get pretty pricey. so all in all i would just stick with hoping the officer doesnt show and if he does then plead no contest and pay the fine in which you are guilty for anyways
