stop by the police... They might check your car to look for any Pirated CD/DVD/VCD..and fine you on the spot...

Do Not Fret.... Extracted from another forum and find his tips useful

*Hints* that i found on some forums on why the CDs in our cars should be "safe" and "they" have no right to fine / saman us.

COMMENT 1:

this is absolute abuse of power again...to have a
copied disc in the car is not an offence...it is for personal use and
not for the public...

if going by their rules then carrying an i-pod or mp3 player is an offence since its contents is copied..

i will not bother to worry about it and go to court and argue the case..

once you say that they will back off
COMMENT 2:

It has happened before recently.... .a friend's
hubby was searched and issued a compund of RM12K for CDs found in his
car. He was dumbfounded! !!! So with that I enlisted some legal advice
from a buddy of mine (who happened to be in the practice of copyright
issues) and he told me that the police have no rights to issue
compounds on that basis.

Compounds issued are not valid as piracy cases MUST be charged in court. So you can just ignore the compounds; he advised.

By the way, how can the police determine whether the songs are not
legally burned into a CD? Legality is hard to determine in cases like
this unless they catch you red handed with multiple burning devices in
operation for commercial purposes (to sell to gain money). So keep cool
everyone!
