Rolling coal is the practice of tampering with a vehicle's emissions control system, causing it to spew black clouds of sooty exhaust.

Cities have emission standards. Police could try harder if they wanted to.
Meanwhile In other countries they do just that
I don't speak German but I'm guessing they're ticketing/impounding vehicles that have modifications which violate emissions. Sometimes US cops to that to street racers... the problem is that's because the average officer doesn't like kids who modify Asian cars but they basically are the same demographic who would modify a truck.
As long as we're talking about that, the street racing and 'sideshow' thing is pretty out of control too. I'd be happy to see them step up enforcement on that bullshit.
