to the best of my training, they told us that it doesnt go against the owners. they are trying to cite the smog techs that are doing clean piping. i think its up to the head tech at the checkpoint as to whether or not cite the owner and/or tow the vehicle. i havent heard of this happening, but im in norcal, we dont have this quite yet.

Id rather they stop every car on the road to check valid drivers license and insured/registered vehicle.. im scared more than half the people in my dam area are probably illegally driving. lol
They could make more money that way, ticket all those *******, and make this a safer place lol
also more DUI check points, im all for responsible drinking, but more and more young people get shitfaced for the sake of it being the cool thing to do. Ive almost near lost a few friends from being struck by drunk drivers.

All persons shall surrender their full rights to peace officers or government employed personnel. The use of the word "privacy" has been outlawed since the day the original Constitution was accidentally set ablaze by our respected governmental reformers.
One day we'll long for the good ole' days when such petty matters were overlooked in favor of the national budget, the debt of the state of California, etc.
