"With One", as in one with or without an airbag?

Assuming you mean airbag it's illegal, at the very least it's defectable. But yes, I would think they would, given they can impound you for burnouts - you'd think illegally removing an airbag would be enough.

They won't impound your car, but depending on the officer, the defect you get will be either a "present for inspection" or "do not drive until presented for inspection" notice, and what ever applicable fine.

It's not that easy... If you get done, they can just tick "vehicle check not complete" and they will go over the whole car like a RWC...

And what happens next time you get pulled up, and they receive the flag for your illegal steering wheel and, hello, there it is again?
