Besides New Jersey, does any other state claim the right of inspecting the underwear of its drivers ??

I'll go for it, yes: Tracking in Ca,Or,WA, and UT. Never see a cop get involved in any way.
I think more than anything the comments come because it is always fun to f*ck with people from Jersey. They get so spun up. Not that I would think VR would get enjoyment from doing so.

So, they were inspecting the seatbelts of street legal DE cars and giving tickets? Even with factory belts?

I have tracked Porsches in WA, CA, OR, NY, PA, CT, WV, VA, OH, ON and NJ. Never have seen a cop get involved in any way at any of them either. Fortunately, my days at Laguna Seca were prior to the State taking control and forcing their rules on those "sheep".

Not from NJ, and currently trying to sell our house in order to leave. I find it great sport to f*ck with people from NJ too, as well as CA, TX, etc. And I am fully aware of what motivates VR!

It will depend on what kind of underwear you are wearing, if any. Lets us hope that they don't ban cars without PSM!!!!

State police checking underwear???? I'd remind them that they're welcome to use the undies to get a stool, urine and semen sample.

They have been known to show up unannounced.
Usually, if it is an organized/regular series and well run, they tend to stay away.

They are very strict about kids under a certain age being able to run in certain classes, regardless of experience or sanctioning body rules.

So you are another, like myself, that have never seen this potential menace?

Bull: You might not be seeing "the man" but I suspect that you and the rest of the Garden Stators are paying for him. : )

That yellow mansion on the State of NJ PBA site is quite impressive; someone's got to pay for this stuff; might just well be listers wearing the wrong race underwear !!

No doubt that the residents of the state pay for the State Patrol, no matter what state is involved...including the 6th Borough of NYC, Florida.
