there's ways around it, they only assume that it's lower than it should be. if you can prove it's not lower than regulation (12 inches in VA) then their ticket holds no ground. Don't quote me on it, but I believe that's the same for all states.
I got pulled over a week ago because my car is "too low" I asked what his reasoning was, he said my bumper (cover) is too low to the ground. so I corrected him, my bumper is exactly 12.5 inches off the ground. I clipped my zipties, unbolted my shroud and removed the cover. Went to the back of the Z pulled out my tape measure (I keep it in the back of the car for this very reason) and proved him wrong. He tips his hat, closes his book, and drives off.
Sure, I did a bit more work than needed, but my point got across and he let me go.
