Ticket for mud flaps in California

[Problem2420]

Hey guys I'm pissed while swapping in the new transmission into my 90, my dad let me drive his 03 silverado 1500hd with a 3 inch body lift and 305/65/18 tires which is about 34". I dont think this should be a ticket at all sense the truck is Burly lifted and the tires are still in the wheel well. I don't know if I should fight this at all. I looked up the CA code for mudflaps but didnt get anything specific. I really do hate California and @**Hole cops.

I see a lot of people post up trucks from califronia with no mud flaps though so like anything else it probably depends on your area cops.

I think he just wanted to check around and see if I was doing anything suspicious because I am young and Latino so he probably thought I stoled it or something. Lol
