I'm planning to go full cattless and a little concerned about these guys. Any tricks for if you do come up on one? Maybe kill the car as you roll by? Usually when I see them they are in a place where its too late to do anything but drive by.
I know for a fact in Nassau county it's an $890 fine. Considered tampering with an emissions control device. I was told by the cop who wrote me he could have wrote it for a misdemeanor don't know the truth on that.
