I wonder if they realize that a large portion of the import community is a hard working group of "older" people who have careers and families and that it is a hobby which is enjoyable to all.

Thats bullshit, the "large portion" of the import community are people who throw a fart can on their shit box and rip through town. Thats the people who are being asses, and the ones who deserve the ticket.I would say half of the import community are responsible and do not drive like idiots. It is just the ones that are stupid that stick out more.

Yep, you're right. There are plenty of people who are responsible behind the wheel, however I believe that the people who are bitching about the new enforcement are the ones who are not responsible. I have no problem with the new enforcement, and I even welcome it, because its annoying as hell to hear the buzz boxes at all hours ripping around. I know that I most likely won't get pulled over for noise, because I know how much it sucks to hear loud exhaust when you're trying to study or sleep, so I try to keep my foot out of it. There is a time and place to step on it, such as getting on the freeway, or out of town, or at the track. Down busy city streets is not the place to do that, and the people who do are going to get fucked, and I have no sympathy for them. The people know what they are doing is wrong, and they are just mad because the police are calling them on the carpet.

For the 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999th time this thread. Noone is complaining that their is such an ordinance, rather they are upset by the way law enforcement has stated PUBLICLY that they are going to target modified imports.

Let's face it, even sporty domestics don't have loud piping on them most of the time, and loud trucks make up maybe 7% of the rest of the loudness. The problem resides with import cars, no matter how many times it is said "but this one time I saw a truck/Camaro/etc that was loud!!111".
Let's complain next that we are targeting airport bomb searches at Muslims instead of 40 year old white women.

as a matter of fact i have a big problem with that...
are you going to say that because my father is indian he is a worthless drunk now too? how about irish people, everybody knows that irish people love to drink. stop fucking generalizing groups of people who share interests especially a whole race of people. If you have a problem with every single muslim person in the world because of what happened to our country then I feel bad for you. backwards racist rednecks are a bigger problem then noisy speed racers.. they should fine you for being ignorant.

You are quite possibly the biggest idiot to ever visit this board (thats saying quite a bit). Loud trucks making up 7% of the loudness of cars in the midwest....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I've lived in ND my entire life. When I was an inspector I went around to all these "midwest towns" that you speak of. I'd be willing to bet that the numbers you quoted are quite possibly the other way around....90% being loud muscle cars/trucks whilst the other 10% being loud imports. Have you ever been around a diesel pickup? Their loud AND they stink. I guarantee you at idle/normal driving speeds they are louder than my car. Why do they get a free pass?
AGAIN. I am 10000000000000% ok with them ticketing imports so long as they are also ticketing deserving domestic cars/trucks.
I don't know why I have to explain this shit to you over and over and over again. Yes, we have loud cars. Yes some of us are very deserving of the tickets. BUT so are many other cars. I've NEVER revved my car at a muscle car/pickup, yet they always feel the need to rev me and call me names. I've personally seen 2 vehicles hit other cars while thinking I would race them (once on main by 8th St....guy ran a red and smacked a turning car in his pickup...I never even revved, the other time when I was in my bone stock 1988 Honda Prelude). I gave them no indication that I thought I was fast. I gave them no indication that I thought their car sucked. They just proceded to take off like madmen and got in accidents. I felt sorry for the people they hit, but I sure as fuck don't feel the least bit sorry for the inbred hick motherfuckers that think they are big shit and want to race me in town.
Are you saying that if a camaro/mustang/pickup is loud they shouldn't be ticketed? That since they are in fewer numbers (by your calculations) they should be immune from the laws? If you are, then you may be the dumbest fucktard ever to grace the internet with his presence.
Feel free to ask me what I really think about you sometime.
