Agreed. I posted pics of one of these "rolling smog checkpoints" in another thread and posed the question to any members that were law enforcement whether or not it was "manditory" and I have since forgotten the thread.

I pose the same question here today. ?

Here is what the DMV says:V C Section 2806 Vehicle and Equipment Inspection
Vehicle and Equipment Inspection
2806. Any regularly employed and salaried police officer or deputy sheriff, or any reserve police officer or reserve deputy sheriff listed in Section 830.6 of the Penal Code, having reasonable cause to believe that any vehicle or combination of vehicles is not equipped as required by this code or is in any unsafe condition as to endanger any person, may require the driver to stop and submit the vehicle or combination of vehicles to an inspection and those tests as may be appropriate to determine the safety to persons and compliance with the code.

Amended Sec. 5, Ch. 292, Stats. 2003. Effective January 1, 2004

That means if you have an aftermarket exhuast they have "reason" to check yo sh*t out!!!

what is considered "aftermarket" you cannot say anything not from the factory how about a nismo exhaust? nismo cars came from the factory like that

remember there is a difference between aftermarket and a replacement...just saying

You cannot have a valid registration in CA without having passed an up to date smog check.
Having you go through a smog check point, and you have a valid registration, would be a violation of your 4th amendment!

This.

I would simply refuse. I suspect the cop would have to let you go.

Or plant drugs on you because you didn't comply.
