  9. CCW case...agree or disagree??

    They shouldn't have lied to the police. That being said, I believ in the state of Ohio you are allowed to use your firearm to aid another person in danger. In fact, since they didn't fire their weapons, I don't think they broke the law at all. What could they be charged with since they didn't do anything? Had they shot the guy...that would be a different story.

     

    I agree with both points. I don't think that pulling their weapon was a crime. Had they shot him the only reason I would call it a bad shooting is they claimed they were in fear for their life and not in fear of her life. Think of it like this... guy comes up behind you and grabs your friend, g/f, wife, child, etc. Places a knife to their throat. and says give me your money. At this point you are in fear for their life not yours however, you are still justified in shooting them.

    IIRC to legally have HIDs in a car they have to A. dot approved. B. There has to have been a option for HIDs offered for that vehicle for that year.

     

    Just from quick research:

     

    Ohio Law - http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/4501-15

     

    DOT/NHTSA Interpretations of law/FMVSS 108 - http://fmvss108.tripod.com/nhtsa_legal_interpretations.htm

     

    After reading most of those interpretations, it is illegal to import or sell anything that does not meet the standard for Automotive Lighting (FMVSS 108). In addition, the phrases D.O.T. Approved, Off-Road Use Only, For Off-Road Vehicles Only or For Off-Road or Show Use only have no legal meaning and do not prevent liability of the manufacturer or provide exemption from FMVSS 108. Basically, it looks like if it is sold on the open market and legally imported it is legal to use.

    ^^^Yeah, but your car came factory with projectors in the headlights, his didn't. So therefore the quality of the light output and the desired affect doesn't really work the same and it is ILLEGAL as well as dangerous for other drivers.

     

    I've done 2 plug and play kits, both were bought for under $50 and worked great, but both cars I did it on came factory with projector headlamps. A 97 gsr sedan and an 06 Mazda3s.

     

    I would be interested in the legality of this as I plan on doing it to more cars. Do you know what motor vehicle code it violates?

    I could not believe how easy and truly plug and play it was. I added the optional harness for the 55w high beams. The only modification I had to make was a small amount of filing on the balast that came with the kit. The interlock for the factory connector was slightly to big. Took me maybe 45 min to do a CLEAN install tucking the wiring zip ties to hold it all in place and the additional harness. Including shipping for 2 sets and the harness I have $120 invested. I love them so much I bought Dad a set for his car for Father's Day. I have also convinced a couple guys at work to get them. They are now slowly installing them through their family fleets. Everything from scooters, to motorcycles, to pickups, to DD and show cars.

    Since it was so close to the time of 9/11 I can see where there would be a connection in peoples minds. The national transportation safety guys have the data recorder and if they say it was overuse of rudder than I guess thats what we have to go on unless you can get the data recorder and look at it yourself.

     

    It would not surprise me if it was terrorists and was covered up, but I have a feeling that if it were terrorists so soon after 9/11 it would have been used as a "call to war" more likely than covered up.

     

    I agree other then the fact that they would have been trying to keep the national fear level down and the airline industry alive. There was also the attempted shoe bombing in Dec. that wasn't used as a call to war. I don't full heartedly agree that it is a cover up but, I wouldn't be able to agree that beyond a reasonable doubt it was pilot error.
