to the best of my training, they told us that it doesnt go against the owners. they are trying to cite the smog techs that are doing clean piping. i think its up to the head tech at the checkpoint as to whether or not cite the owner and/or tow the vehicle. i havent heard of this happening, but im in norcal, we dont have this quite yet.

Crap, that's only a mile from my pad. I guess the good thing here is that something like this they can't do on a street as busy as Beach Blvd so stay on the busy streets. Run with the pack/herd, safety in numbers...or go old school like that lakay, Mel.

All persons shall surrender their full rights to peace officers or government employed personnel. The use of the word "privacy" has been outlawed since the day the original Constitution was accidentally set ablaze by our respected governmental reformers.
One day we'll long for the good ole' days when such petty matters were overlooked in favor of the national budget, the debt of the state of California, etc.
