Damn near every aftermarket automotive part I have ever bought contains some variation of the “This is not intended for use on street vehicles, offroad and race use only” somewhere in the description.
I can cut out my cat and weld in a piece of 2 inch pipe and I just created an emissions defeat device… I can fit an oil catch can, if I plug the breather tube back into the intake its legal, if I vent to atmosphere its not.
I mean, people who “roll coal” have no sympathy from me but this case is nowhere near as cut and dried as a lot of people think.
I trust the DOJ to be able to distinguish between a 2 inch pipe and more deliberate devices.
That trust is misplaced.
Let me introduce you to our friends the ATF. Or the USDA and their wonderful food pyramid. Government agencies have agendas. You should look at facts and not blindly trust them.
then what heinous agenda do you think the DOJ to follow here?
Here? Prolly none. Still, it’s not exactly a situation where you need a government authority to choose a position, is it?
The DOJ should not work to enforce the laws of the country? What role should the department of justice have then?
How do you people come up with this insane shit? I never said any of that. Or anything near it. I never even commented on the situation.
It’s hopeless my dude. Lemmy is filled with either wannabe revolutionaries or establishment toadies. There’s no healthy scepticism to be found yet.
