I was never a fan of the look, but I feel like people should either be able to modify their vehicles or they should not. You can't say that some suspension mods are OK while other suspension mods aren't. I think this is more of an issue of WHO is driving these squatted vehicles. Once you figure that out and factor in the state where this story originates, it's pretty clear what the motivation is.

I do agree the who can be and typically is representative of a geographical area but its not like everyone in any one ZIP code all think, act and drive the same way.

So they are eliminating a rolling road hazard, good on them. There's no way in hell those headlights can be aimed properly to over come the squat stance. I believe in letting people express them selves how ever they want with their vehicles but when it comes to the safety of ALL OF the motoring public on public hwy's a line has to be drawn and that squat stepped way over the line.
Personally I think it looks retarded but as I said, to each their own UNTIL it puts someone else at risk.

Headlights either blinding the oncoming traffic, or so hopelessly out of whack that they are useless.
Add goofed up suspension geometry and braking. I'm sure there's an accident or two with one of these.

I do very much dislike passing those vehicles at night. I wonder if PDs will enforce it. I sure hope so!

I'm okay with modifications to enhance a vehicle's utility or appearance but not when those put bumpers too high increasing the possibility of unnecessary personal bodily injuries due over ridding passenger car front and side impact protection.

While I agree with potential safety concerns, I wonder how many cops you or anyone of else we want to dedicate to this issue. IMHO, an officer's time is better spent elsewhere. Maybe if that task was given to meter maids, I would buy in. But to me this is just another law passed to distract us from real crime.
