NEWPORT BEACH, CA – During the holidays, Newport Beach police will be handing out presents. Instead of gifts of joy, they will be tickets for violating the state vehicle code for modified exhaust systems. The Newport Beach Police Department’s Loud / Modified Vehicle Exhaust Enforcement Operation will run from November 29th thru December 27th. During this time, there will be additional officers on patrol looking for vehicles with loud / modified exhausts that are not in compliance with CVC (California Vehicle Code) regulations.
