I use to ride a Buell X1 with a Pipe with no baffle or wadding (it use to spit it all out in about 100 miles) and never got a ticket, but i did for a single row numberplate by a keen plod who pulled me over when I was stationary and facing him, so he pulled me for no reason then found a fault for which i got a ticket.
A hell of alot of traffic car carry them now as standard equipment........it would not suprise me in the slightest if ever North Wales officer had one in their back pocket too lol.
