Community College GPA padding?

So I am a community college student and was thinking that since I know that CC classes will be far easier than classes at UCLA maybe I should take some more community college classes to supplement my UCLA classes (take them locally or online) in the intent to pad my cumulative gpa. I can transfer up to 105 quarter units to ucla (I am not quite there yet), but would it even matter to cap out transfer units if the LSAC wants all classes taken…I mean I could just keep taking these soft classes and have a very high gpa (assuming I do decently well with my UCLA classes as well)?

This does seem a bit manipulative.
