I agree, I heard about their program to combat racing, but

I thought is just setting up more speed traps and more patrol cars all over the GTA. Didn't think they were specifically trained to look for modifications and etc.

So does that mean you could be...

Nope... only if you bought from them as well, then maybe.

I was told loaner cars are only offered to those who bought the car from them initially, and even then you have to request in advance. Otherwise, they only offer free shuttle service. I believe...
