[QUOTE="CountyMounty , post: 712947, member: 64255"] Your post got a little confusing to me at the part about the ticket but I think I have a basic answer to your question. The reason why the law does not go after the manufacturers or sellers of the product is because there are people that buy their products and use them legally. It would be like telling Budweiser they can not sell beer because it might end up being used illegally or by someone who can not use it. Each state has different laws so a product may be legal in one state but illegal in another and in almost all cases almost anything is legal for use off of the public way. Why would you put the responsibility with the manufacturer, how are they going to know if it is being used legally or not, even if they asked peope could and would just lie. Many manufacturers will put disclaimers on their products indicating that it might not be legal for street use or legal in your state and therefore they are saying its up to you, the consumer, to make sure you are not breaking the law. As for the reason for the laws in the first place it is not like a bunch of cops or legislators got together one day and said hey lets just mess with people and make a bunch of stuff illegal. There are reasons for each one and generally it is some type of safety reason or public nuisance issue like is the case with exhaust or loud music. I am not saying that I agree with all the laws or that you have to agree, but I think if anyone stops and really thinks about it ot just makes more sense to put the responsibility on the user of a product not the manufacturer in most cases.
