went through one on san leandro and 98th a few weeks ago and they didn't even look at me. How do they figure which cars they're going to stop. BTW I was driving my beater commuter car.

Jerk? You're joking, right? [Roll Eyes] I've never logged onto this site to be a jerk. I was actually trying to post information. I obviously had no idea you have to log in.

I've seen them around the Sac / Antelope area. If stopped, tell them they can absolutely search/test your car as soon as they get a warrant [Wink] Remind the officer this is the United States and everything they're doing is okay, except for that annoying thing called the "US Constitution" So yeah, make sure to be polite and film EVERYTHING. Tell them the video is being uploaded to a website live to they won't try to take your cam/phone. And that you'll be contacting a lawyer and the ACLU. I believe you can also sue them in civil court personally... They have no reasonable expectation of privacy so you're not breaking any laws by recording. Damn, this kind of shit gets me all fired up!!!

Not sure why all this misinformation continues. I guess if I read it on the internet, it must be true.

Roadside smog check is voluntary. They will note your license plate number and that you declined. CARB, by themselves, cannot stop cars, only the police can. That's why there's a cop there.

A cop can pull you over anywhere, anytime for fix-it tickets. If you think that's against your Constitutional rights, take it to the US Supreme Court. You'll lose.

Cars selected for roadside checks fall into 3 groups: random selection, gross polluters, and cars CARB thinks have been modified and may not pass a legal smog check.

The roadside checks aren't so much to go after you, it's to go after fraudulent smog stations. The ones that will pass anything for the right price.

'Widespread fraud' in California's smog test program
State aims to make major changes after finding that nearly a third of older cars fail roadside smog checks within a year of passing at test stations.
February 25, 2010|By Margot Roosevelt
Nearly a third of older-model cars stopped for roadside smog tests in Southern California failed them, despite having received a passing grade at inspection stations within a year, a state audit has found.

The results of those surprise inspections of 6,000 models manufactured before 1996 have led law enforcement officials to crack down on unscrupulous stations, step up fines and file more criminal charges.

No I don't think CHP is helping no one(civilians) in CA. MOST if not all are fucken dicks. They all think they're badass because they have jurisdiction in all of CA. And if I ever get trapped in one of these in my stang I WILL record it and deny their shit but until then longtubes and offraod x FTW! [patriot]
