They are voluntary, BUT a lot of times, they have a black and white down the street, and any suspicious cars that refuse to volunteer, are flagged by radio to get pulled over by the unit waiting.

But all the license plates are logged in, participants and refusals. So don't be surprised if you get a notice in the mail from DMV or BAR if it fails or you refuse.

Page 9, 4.3: Inspection Protocol. Give it a read.

On another note, where and when have you seen them in Concord?

---

Good find! guys read 4.3: Inspection Protocol! The problem is the COPS!! this inspection is to be used for surveys and QC analysis for BAR and not to crack down on illegally modified vehicles. In the IP section it states that the greeter tells you that no fines/tickets will be given to the driver.

^ it's voluntary no argument there!

A CHP officer is there for a few reasons :

1.The smog guys don't have the authority to stop you alone.

2. To make sure that it's done safely.

3. Cash. That's an overtime gig out of the smog guys budget.

If you decline they enter your lic plate into a laptop for analysis later. I'd say no thanks and skirt outta there so they can't read my plate.

100% false. Law Enforcement is on scene as primary function of traffic safety. SO many rumors spread around about this. Would 10 members please post your traffic citation from a mobile smog check point??????????

These check points are data collection of SMOG emissions for the state. It doesn't flag your vehicle.

Ever see construction at night and a cop car? same thing. The cost associated with them is factored into a construction bid for safety. Some of the funding associated with them being at these site comes from DOT.

I've been pulled over about 3 blocks after refusing to "volunteer" for a mobile smog. The car that pulled me was not the car at the smog check point for traffic safety. He was parked a few blocks up the road.

He asked me to pop the hood and trunk. I could have refused. But then he'd detain me until he could get a K9 on scene to sniff for drugs and toss my interior... Taking more time out of my day. This wasn't my first rodeo. So I just cooperated and let him check everything out.

I didn't get a citation, because my car was 100% legit. All OEM cats, front plate, no window tint... Just a BBK CARB legal intake and Magnapack cat back. Nothing illegal. I just didn't want to waste my time smog testing my car. The officer even asked why I refused the smog test.

They don't pull over everyone that refuses... They profile. If it's an obviously modified car, and they refuse to test... They tend to connect the dots and assume some of those mods must be illegal... and radio their homeboy up the street to snag an easy ticket.

That's bullshit..

I know you have right to not let them search your interior of the car but when they say pop the hood do you have the right to tell them you may not search my interior and exterior of my vehicle? And btw i would been like why are you pulling me over for ? Did I commit a crime etc while I record him?
