Can't just limit it to compacts/imports. Couldn't they get sued for stereotyping or for the lack of a better word discriminating?(sp?)
Profiling is illegal. BUT, that's a racial type thing. But how hard is it to hear a fart can? How hard is it to see no reflectors...or clears...or whatever is illegal? They know it's illegal when they mod it, but even if they are ignorant of the local laws....that's no excuse. Think if you are a cop and 1 outta 50 cars are modified (or whatever)...they stand out. What would you do if you were behind that badge and you see something you KNOW is illegal.
I'm not going to tell anyone what to do or not to do, but learn from others mistakes before you make the same one. That video says a lot. Remember, no one ever thinks something like that can happen to them....until it does.
My beef is that where I live I never see white dudes get pulled over on their harley's which are RIDICULOUSLY loud and flat out noisy, yet I get told that my stereo is too loud and bothering people even though the cop pulled me over in a ghetto neighborhood where people are nodding their heads to my stereo while I'm parked at a light. That is total bullshit if you ask me
