George P posted:I have acquaintances who are members of LAPD, LA Sheriffs, Ventura Sheriffs, and Ventura PD. They have other things to do rather than enforce the vehicle code. That's normally the bailiwick of the CHP.
You guys complaining of enforcement in the Newport/Laguna/Huntington area, I'm curious is that CHP, Orange County Sheriffs, or local police?
I only have experience in Laguna with the local police. The city created their own noise ordinances, which are referenced on signs posted downtown and along PCH. I agree with your view George; CHP is typically the one who would check noise levels, tread depth, smog equipment, etc... more rare to get that treatment from city cops and (in my life experience) unheard of for a Sheriff to worry about those sorts of items (unless you were a real jerk during the traffic stop)
