I wish I could call in the skis I part out stolen so they would take the hulls. Then I wouldn't have to pay to dump.

I had a ski i bouht legit for the motor, scrapped the hull. I had a k12 saw with a diamond blade on rental to do some work cutting concrete. It made short work of that hull and i threw it in my can. After that experience, i find butter difficult to cut, but less itchy.

Try parting 15 skis per year. Your neighbors and your lungs wouldn't like breathing all that fiberglass dust much.

Ive cut up a total of 2 skis, and i can say with confidence that it was 3 too many. $10 at the dump is money well spent. Only reason i cut up the one with the k12 was that i had the tool handy and wanted to see how itd go.
 
Cops here throw their impounded skis in a dumpster and have them hauled to the dump. But the truck driver knows a guy that parts out skis, so he drops it off at his house instead. That guy makes money selling what was deemed stolen. The system is crooked.

thats some licoriceed up poop right there

Try parting over 100 skis per year...no cutting them up here! Well worth $6 each for the dump to deal with them...

When I dumped my last hull I was told I would have to start cutting them up or take them to the big dump and pay $75 per load. So it looks like my parting days are over.

Could you imagine if a cop like that showed up at one of the freerides!!!!
He was there at Daytona a few years back. I had a rn Sj that @Idok used to own no hin tags. Could not ride surf until I showed him some fake trophy shop hin that I made up and spray painted black. Really sucked to drive from Michigan to Florida and be told you can't ride...

I really hope this op catches a break soon!

If your telling me that you can't own the ski anymore because of the tampered hin tags, but yet the chp officers are going to draw to own it themselves!? That's wrong in so many ways, and if that happened to me, mark my words, my new motive in life would be to destroy those chp officers livelihood and the minute I did I'd leave that poop hole of a state and live under a rock before I went back. There's no excuse for that. None

@JetFiend You got any advise on this?



I apologize for the late response, I just saw this. I don't write citations at work and don't know CA laws, but I can tell you that each and every officer will have a different "motivation" for doing what they do. It seems that some people take their job way too seriously and unfortunately @blake129 may have met "that" officer.

If this happened to me, I would get some legal help immediately and challenge why he made the vehicle stop in the first place? How did this "vehicle stop" progress into a search and seizure of the ski? Was consent given or did this guy just start searching? I don't know the whole story and I haven't read through this entire thread yet, but the above questions are what I would be asking^

It's going to come down to how well that officer articulates why he took this action. But none of that matters if you don't get some legal help and challenge it.

If this is true, and were my town, said people's would no longer be able to take advantage of said illl gotten gains.

This can be taken as true, as affected by me.

FLUCK THAT.

The officer pulled them over because the trailer they were transporting the skis with had no license plate. Then he asked to have the hood pulled off the ski because of the missing exterior HIN. When the owner protests about the officer scratching around in the engine bay with a knife, the officer looses his patience and decides to confiscate the ski. The owner's unwillingness or inability to thoroughly answer questions about where he got the ski probably helped lead the officer to come to the conclusion that the ski was stolen. Also, the owner put the hood back on the ski before the officer could inspect it, in an attempt to avoid inspection.

"You just bought it yesterday? You remember who from?"

"From, um, Josh."

"Josh? That's all we got?"

"Um, yeah."

"Where'd you get it from?"

"Livermont."

You need a lawyer pronto.
