That isn't supposed to work. You get the ticket, thus you are responsible for paying off the ticket. The ticket stays with you, not the car. At least, that's how I understand it. Have you ever done that? Do you personally know anybody that has done that?

I'm pretty sure the ref stays with the car, meaning next time the plate is ran even with a new owner it will show up even though the former owner is responsible to fix it because either way on owner change the car has to be smogged. It's a catch 22

It's like this, when I got my ref ticket he said the car couldn't be driven and if it was it could be towed. So even if my friend drove the car and I got the ticket, he would still know the car was red flagged.

Wouldn't there be taxes due on the transfer of the vehicle?

I have heard both sides but I think it was better to err on the side of caution. He could have easily got a warrant, then had me open the hood, write the ticket and then impound the car.

Okay here's what happened to me;

Got the exhaust fix-it ticket, I got ARH longtubes and aftermarket cats and had the GMMG catback exhaust, I just said **** this and found someone who sold me the SLP dual-dual muffler for 50 bucks and replaced the muffler.

I introduced myself to a L.A. county sheriff, we used to talk everytime I saw him at the local Starbucks, anyway I told the guy that I had a fixit ticket for modified exhaust AND tinted windows, I told the sheriff that I replaced the muffler and now it's factory.

He actually didn't care, he didn't even take a look at the car, but he had this special rubber stamp that is used for fixit tickets, he stamped my ticket, filled out the stamp portion and that was that, paid 50 bucks court fees and it was over.

this was last year, around June or July of 2011.

I think you need to introduce us to your sheriff friend.

I think he just figured that I was being honest, and since I'm an old man he figured I wasn't lying?

Anyway, that is a vague ticket, can go many ways but if the officer did NOT state too loud and just said modified exhaust I'm pretty sure you can get an officer to write it off HOWEVER they need to have that stamp handy to stamp the back of your ticket, that special stamp is what makes it legal I guess.

Sounds like a good guy.

Now, I wish my wife was into stamp making over home making.

Stamp doesn't work if it's a Ref ticket. Just FYI.
