I'm pretty sure California has some of the strictest laws in the states when it comes to emissions testings and stuff like that. I know Las Vegas has pretty strict laws, too. But if you ever search on Honda-Tech, there are Cali guys are ALWAYS asking each other for ECUs, headers, cat-converters, stuff like that, anything to meet the C.A.R.B. restrictions out there. It's because, yes, cops do profile against so-called streetracers and those who resemble them, but the law out there is the law so cops will do their so-called best to enforce it.

Now as far as the illegal engines part:
Stolen could be just one of the reasons for the illegal part. But I've read (possibly RiceyMcRicerton's "What Swaps are available for my car" thread on h-t)somewhere that it's also illegal to take an older motor and put it into a newer car. Period. Someone can confirm this, I might just be talking out of my ass.

I'm sure this was a mixture of stolen engines, (non-paid) fix-it tickets, (non-paid) tickets in general, streetracing, repeated violations.

After all, these were COURT-ORDERED vehicular crushings, some there had to be some major violations, not to mention the 13 suspected deaths due to streetracing.
