They won't take you off the road, they'll give you a ticket. I've been working on cars longer than many here have been sucking back air (31 years). Whether it's getting pulled over for legit tickets or for BS stops, I've been there. The BS ones included:
Excessive noise (Exhaust too loud)
Not wearing shoulderbelt (in a 1972 Torino that didn't even have one)
Headlight out
Tint too dark
Random safety lane check
Excessive noise (chirped on a paint strip at an intersection in the rain)
... and a warning for having blue LED windshield wiper nozzles....

Now none of these resulted in tickets that stuck, but they were sure inconvenient at the time.

Traffic cops only are concerned with 2 things: blatant safety violations and cash generation.

It's not an argument; I'm providing factual, non-debatable information. You can feel free to do whatever you like, but if I had a dollar for every bu-bu-bu blubbering fool on car forums crying that they got pulled over because they put _insert automobile-fad-of-the-day here_ on their car I would be able to pay for my new car cash.

I'm just giving you fair warning of what they "can" do. Sometimes they'll write you a violation and give you 48 hours to bring the car back fixed. Sometimes they won't bother. But it doesn't make it any less true.
