Depends what they are looking for and how anal they want to be.
Referring to that article changing the speed limit isn't re mapping. It is simply changing parameter/s in the ECM.
The owner or driver could plead ignorance. Who ever did it would be nearly impossible to trace. Who ever did it should cover their marks - laptops leave 'signatures' on the ECM and record what has been done and when.
AFAIK its not illegal to set speed limit on ECM above the road speed limit.
Some deletes are blatantly obvious - the mob I'm at have a couple of Euro 5 spec trucks but we've dropped Euro 2 spec equivalent engine into them.
Two trucks have Euro 5 engines but have been re mapped to delete Adblue. So they don't have the Adblue/DPF muffler or Adblue tanks.
Be hard explaining that to the authorities.
Instead of authorities putting pressure on transport operators they should be making sure truck and engine companies give lifetime warranty on their lemon emission control systems. We run a fleet of 25 trucks and literally not a day goes by when we don't get one through the shop for ad blue dramas.
