While I completely agree with you Talon, from what I could gather in the article it wasn't clear as to whether or not people actually had illegal modification on their cars.

What struck me the most, taken outside of the car context in this article, was the fact they conducted a warantless search of cars that were at a dead stand still....and that they used tax payers money to do it. Thats just fu**ing wrong. Cops are losing their sense of morality and operating way outside of their jurisdiction.

It makes me wonder if we are very slowly losing our constitutional rights (peaceful assembly in this case) with each passing year.

Very scary in my opinion. The problem is police get comfortable with violating peoples rights like this...eventually culture views it as "normal" or acceptable for police to do this and in my opinion before you know it you are living in an authoritarian type system.
