Default Heads up.......

I know there have been threads about this, but I had to start another. The "survey crew" for smog is out and about. On paramount blvd. right next to South St. in Long Beach. They have everything there, even a ramp for your car to go on...this is literally 1/2 mile from my work, good thing i didnt drive the camaro to work

That's some bullshit. I thought they can't force you to do it if it's on your own time? I mean what if I'm on the way to court or the hospital or a funeral?

How can they just "selectively" pull you over and force you onto the ramps? Now there has to be some sort of rights violation there. That's like them coming into my house without a warrant or probable cause and searching through everything, than saying: it's just for survey purposes.

This is wack, I gota start lookin into this....

They can't force you to do that during your own time, however I'm sure if they want to be dick about it they can look for anything "illegal" on your car and send you to the state ref.
