Okay so here is the thing, I get pulled over and told to pop my hood, all I have is a stupid 3in K&N filter as an intake. The officer cites me for VC27156B. He says I have to go to state ref and get it cleared, I go...returning the car to stock. Then I go to court where they tell me it's non-correctable and the bail amount can't be reduced! WTH, I went to stock for nothing?!? So if anyone has had this code and the amount reduced please let me know. Maybe I can get a copy of the Clerk's Docket to show it was dismissed and I can go back to court showing other rulings of dismissal... Any help would be great.

I took it to state ref, I showed proof that it was corrected and passed smog and the judge not knowing what the code is looked it up, said he must fine me the max even correcting it. So what I need to do is show proof that other cases had been dismissed. Were you cited for this code?

Ricardo I swear you do not read...

Oh that is not the worst part....

It was actually the same officer that I asked for directions to get back onto the freeway as I was in a town I'm not familiar with. Oh and he pulled me over in stop and go traffic. He had to hold traffic for me to get back out..

when you get tickets like that it should say on them if they are correctible or not if its marked uncorrectible then ask the officer why its like that

Man, after hearing stories like this, I'm not looking forward to moving back to NorCal. I hate the way they enforce the emissions stuff.
