Operative word
should. That does not stop a Police man or woman writing up a defect notice if they really want to. Usually because they are being dicks. Granted that could stem from the driver giving attitude or whatever, but regardless it still happens. Why? Because they know how much of an inconvenience it is to get removed both in time and money. For blatantly illegal mods sure, go nuts. But handing out stickers because the windscreen washer bottle is empty or an aftermarket cd player has been fitted defies comprehension, yes I know people this has happend too. A simple warning to have the washer bottle filled ASAP is warranted not an $88 dollar fee and hours off work.

If your running things as per the permit says then there shouldn't be a problem... I also stress the word shouldn't.

Exactly my point. Again in the grand scheme of things if Constable Care has sand in his/her vagina for whatever reason they can hand out a canary for whatever reason! My little brothers car (R33 Skyline) was given a yellow sticker for excessive wear on the front tyres. Now yes the wear was greater on the inside but at no point accross the width of any tyres was the tread at an illegal depth. From memory there was 9mm on the inside and 12mm on the outside. No feathering or otherwise any damage to the tyres at all.
