I got one a few years back. Couldn't afford the fine. Spent a day changing my engine and got it signed off for $80 through the ref. Didn't want to chance any future problems w smog and being tagged as a polluter... I know that doesn't answer your question but, I though you were in w the pd. Why don't you ask them. We can only speak from experience on here and you're gonna waist four pages with no answers.

lol thanks for the input guys.. lets try to ask it this way
does the car get flagged as a gross polluter after the fine is paid, or does the person driving the car get there license flagged for driving the car.
im asking it this way because people are saying the fine goes up each time you get pulled over. so in essence the license would have to be flagged and not the car right??
smh eff ca smog laws

UPDATE:
just found out the chp officer did not make him pop the hood, nor did he look under the car. he wrote the "modified emissions" ticket off of sound.. so if we contest the ticket (and show the court that the car was smoged a week earlier), shouldnt we at least be able to get the ticket reduced to a loud exhaust ticket which is a fix it ticket, seeing as the cop has no proof that the emission are modified, i know that cops think they are smart but i think it would be pretty hard to tell the difference between modified emissions and lets say a one chamber exhaust by obly going off of sound... just my thoughts...
anyone else think we have a good case?

i got a ref ticket on my srt for no cat. Went to the judge on the court date he asked me if i fixed the issue, i said yes and he gave me a $10 fine. I got really lucky. Your buddy can just pay the fine i think its like $1200. He could always try the transfering deal and go to the court and tell judge that car is gone, nothing to fix. But i am unsure of the registration status on the car after that, if the ref stays with it.

It's simple..ive had a handful.. you can pay the fine.. You can make it pass legit.. You can sell it( do not transfer it to a family member will not work) Actually sell it to someone else. That will lower the fine but you'll still pay...
THE SHITTY PART IS IF YOUR CAUGHT DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN BASICALLY SAYING **** THE POLICE..THEY CAN ARREST YOU.. I have a friend right now who was arressted for it...
P.S Buy a OLD SCHOOL..CASE CLOSED.

if you contest, you still have to pay the fine. If you win, you get reimbursed, if you lose, you get extra fines. CA is HUNGRY right now, if the fine can be easily paid, then go for it
