So you say no and then what the cop throws you in jail? He flags you in and you say no and then you just leave?

Yeah, I think the chances of you just saying no to the test and driving off are 0. It's like a DUI checkpoint, they flag you in and check you out. I hear if you have an AWD car they can't do the test so you get by but most of us can't get away with it. Damn glad I'm driving a legal car now but if I got snagged up in one of those its going to be a fist fight if they think I'm going to rip the front bumper or exhaust off getting on their dyno for the test. They can look my car over all they want but I don't think they can do anything that would damage it or they would be liable.

The road side "survey" IS VOLUNTARY !!!!!
I want everyone to KNOW you DO have the right to refuse their "survey" I have been through this in the past right down the street from my residence. They are taking "random" vehicle samples, what they will do is use CHP (usually an officer that looks like he is about to retire OR expire) and direct a vehicle onto the dyno,they test this vehicle and then pull it off and grab the next vehicle driving by and direct them onto the dyno and go through this for a few hours. What really pisses me off about this is the fact they do not disclose the "voluntary" part and use CHP to intimidate people to think they have no choice BUT to comply.
It is "interesting" when they get someone who refuses, They don't quite know what to say. CHP directed me into the cones for the dyno, I got up to him and told him I was REFUSING, he quickly called one of the surveyors over and told him I was refusing and handed the situation over to him. He asked why I was refusing so I gave him my opinions on their smog BS and told him that in todays technological world they could access ANY random smog "survey" they wanted from ANYWHERE they wanted and I was NOT participating "even if it only takes a few minutes of my time" which was a waste of my time. Told him he could have get information he needed from standing right there, I then asked the oooold CHP officer if he was detaining me if not I WAS leaving. I left there fairly hard (Not hard enough to break traction though) and dropped a few things by the house and ended up going back down the street in the opposite direction, I got accross from them put it in neutral and gave them a healthy rev... the looks I got PRICELESS 3 times through these damn things, One time 87 GT, One time in 92 Bronco, and another in 97 5.0 coupe.
EVERYONE PLEASE REMEMBER THESE ARE 100% VOLUNTARY !!!!! with ZERO backlash
