Of course the cop doesn't inspect your exhaust. Nor does he test your tint with a light meter or you exhaust or stereo with an spl meter. If he feels your vehicle is in violation he writes you a citation and the burden of proof is on you. That means you have the fun of going to an inspector to proove your equipment is all functioning and legal and pay whatever fees are involved there. Then you may have to go to the law enforcement department or court where you received the citation and have it dismissed and pay any charges there. Really fun if you are out of town at the time. Too many of these violations and you run the risk of your vehicle being impounded and sold at auction. Laws differ from one area to the next but 1) you are responsible for complying to local laws, 2) as stated its illegal everywhere in the us to remove smog equipment 3) smog laws aren't going to get any easier and when they start inspections in your town there is no allowing for previous modifications.

 

And pray that the Officer doesn't show up.

Also, on the court fees, I just had $11,995 in fines. Went to court Dec 5th, the officer didn't show up. All 8 tickets were dismissed, and we had to pay $0 in court fees. =)

The District Attorney told me to go buy a lottery tickert. I left, went to the gas station and got me a Powerball ticket. Won $0.

Still...nebraska doesn't require cats on vehicles...there's tons of trucks,jeeps,cars and every other type of vehicles running just open headers and nobody says any different...hell...my neighbor is a epa agent and he has a truck with pipes running from the headers out the hood...drives it all the time

 

Many states don't do testing or require inspections to make sure that the emission equipment is present, but its a federal law that mandates that the equipment is supposed to stay.
