- mschuster91 5y agoTo my knowledge, they do not as part of the regular checkup, but for car models where such modifications are easily possible they do have the right to do so. Edit additionally, ordinary police also has these rights, and there are, at least in Germany, focused checkpoint controls that specialize in checking for illegal / untitled modifications ("Schwerpunktkontrolle"). And in case of a severe accident where an auditor combs over your vehicle to determine fault, something like this will pop up and be sanctioned, even if it had no relationship to the accident at all. In any case I would not go and risk jail time, a massive fine, or in worst case forfeit of the illegally modified vehicle.
