How to Avoid Smog Check in California! 100% Legal!

[@justinreedflynn]

We need to bring back "Rolling Smog" legalities. This hardline 1975 cut-off year is just mean! Barely any cars are left from the 80's, let alone ones on the road... but the ones that are, still need smog? It's a 40-year old car! A distant memory from a bygone era! C'MON!!

[@pdiz]

So true. It should just be that older than 10 years are exempt, because the average soccer mom trades her vehicle in every 3 or so years, and the majority of people. Most old-car gear heads maintain their cars WAY better than anything on the road because they're passionate about them, and isn't driving an old car a form of recycling? I remember back when my '69 Satellite got a NOX box put on it, and when the law changed, that sh*t went bye bye.

[@Suddenlyits1960]

Yep,agree completely. It’s utter bs. Californians need to stand up and get angry and vocal enough to change this. Vote idiots out who impose draconian rules. Surely there have to be enough sane people left to swing this. In any other sane state anything 30 years old is smog exempt. Places like tennesse don’t have any smog bs at all.

For months, If not years......... I've seen the same people, driving around with the same cars, with the same out of state plates, cruisin' around like it's nothing and the local cops or CHP don't even do a thing about it in my area. Even some people from Washington state have registered their cars out of state in Oregon, Idaho, or Nevada because the cost of registration is expensive in Washington state. It's not just the smog restrictions that has drivers gone hothead...... It's the registration costs that puts America on Cheapskate Mode. I don't blame anybody for having to register their cars out of state since it's Caca-fornia's fault and Washington state's fault for increasing costs in the first place.

I will have to register outside of California, even though I live in CA. Weird, but that is the way it has to be. I will register at my sister's ranch in Oregon. Going to cost me like $350 to do that. Would cost me $1,500 in repair fees to get a 2 year pass in CA. Will need like $3K in smog work to pass in CA.

when did this take place? my county is smog exempt, but i still had to smog it 3 months ago...

[@Garth2011]

They made changes to county exempt...now some certain zip codes within an exempt county are required to smog check. I guess the pollution ratios vary from downtown L.A. compared to Needles, CA. however, once the wind blows...all counties are sniffing the blended pollution all the same and in just a few hours, it's all moved to Arizona and Nevada. Many of us fail to see the need for smog checks every two years especially when the vehicles are with the same owner, same locations for decades. If they pass the first few times, they should be exempt and only require a check after a 10 year period if the same person still owns them. For those who change cars like they would a pair of jeans, it won't matter much since they are subject to reg and transfer fees galore anyway. 2% license plate fees ("personal property tax") are just a disguise for an unjustified tax. If the state were taxing personal property, they'd tax on furniture, tools and other items. Most other states don't but in CA, the blue dems must have their satisfaction and relief they can use larceny against the public to pay for their Government issued credit cards, state provided vehicles and fuel and on and on. In Florida, its $30 a year for any vehicle tag and no smog checks.

[@WorstPaperCut]

unfortunately, california is just getting harder and harder to drive modified street cars...if you're like me and have a good paying job(registered nurse). The easy way out is buy a duplicate car of your modified car and keep that duplicate stock....just swap plates and all the jiffy. Insurance only thinks you have 1 car but you actually have 2. Yes there's a risk to this like vin numbers and all that....just swap them over(yes thats illegal, but they cant prove you did it). Everything comes with a price...or move out of California.

Lake county California. No smog. Except one smog check if u buy a car out of county

[@armandofigueroa8021]

Can i smog it anywhere in cali or does it have to be in lake county?

Lol, we all knew this about different counties and states. The county one is that the easiest , just say you're traveling along no proof if you dont answer any questions

I registered my car at my friends house who is in a smog exempt city. So my address on my drivers license is different than my address for my car registration, however they are both in california. Do you know if I will be hassled by the cops if they see the addresses dont match? Cant i just say I used to live at my friends and registered my car there?

[@Bondovw]

It will work for a very short time . Then they will force you in for a inspection and that plan will fall apart

[@olid.7568]

Usually you can find them on the body frame

[@torsten6777]

If I remember right, they had them stamped onto the frame in the front wheel area. Forgot if it was left or right side.

[@flashoflight8160]

There are ALPR cameras run by government/law enforcement everywhere. They will know when you entered the city limits and exited the city limits. So they know the car is in California if you drive it in any urban area. You literally can't avoid the cameras no matter how hard you try except for leaving the car in the garage.

[@ScorpionBear_AG]

Yup the day I got caught, they had a whole stack of pictures of my BMW, connecting me to multiple races, sideshows, anything they could find. It was ridiculous, I got a great lawyer and got let off easy. Everytime someone called in a red BMW if they had a camera in that cross section I was caught, the cracked down got some of my friends too, it spanned multiple counties in CA, from Bay area to San Joaquin Co to Stanislaus Co and Sacramento Co. It was a mess, a bunch of buddies are still recovering from that and it was years ago. It ain't no joke.

[@TWIRKNOLOVE]

@@ScorpionBear_AG Sorry to hear, but what did you get caught doing exactly? Registering your address in a smog-exempt county?

[@ScorpionBear_AG]

@@TWIRKNOLOVE No they had created a new task force to combat street racers and side shows (where cars stop traffic and do donuts) and illegal modifications to cars. They went through social media, cameras, used under cover police, everything. When I got caught I got caught street racing, my car had been under investigation for a while and have been evading them for a while, they couldn't act on it because they didn't have a clear picture of my license plate and I had been caught on camera in like 4 different counties, many of the pictures were a reach with different cars that weren't mine, so they couldn't blame me for everything and once some of their actual evidence was found to be not reliable then the case was thrown out and I was just fined and my license was taken for a few years until I did mandatory classes. This was like 6 years ago btw, it seems that the police eased up on that and not many side shows as acouple years ago, I wouldn't know tho I'm no part of that much anymore, grew up and had kids, I guess. Many people got way worse with jail time and or fines in the 5 digits and their cars being destroyed ect.

[@TWIRKNOLOVE]

@@ScorpionBear_AG Ah, okay. What kind of BMW were you driving at the time? Was this in CA? 6 years ago, I was still more involved in the automotive scene and saw the paces it went through with police getting more serious then lax with it here in Southern California. I was more into older euro's, so I never got any real threat as opposed to others.

[@ScorpionBear_AG]

@@TWIRKNOLOVE 08 335i, some turbo work, tune, some pipe work too. Nothing crazy but I liked to race and it was quick off the line giving V8s a run for their money. Yeah it was in Bay Area, Stockton and Sacramento area. Side shows got real out of control at that time in Oakland, Vallejo and Hayward at that time, even stopping the San Francisco Bridge to do donuts and the Sacramento freeway. It was wild tbh but that's why they got tough on the car scene, all the car crews were ruthless and didn't care about the cops. Soon after we started getting helicopters on us and swat trucks blocking us and it turned into a game of chicken. I specifically remember ome time gassing it on Sacramento I80 freeway and looking to my left and seeing the helicopter spot light on my friends supercharged 5.0 two lanes over while a group of 10 of us were making a run for it all going the same direction. Anyways that shit was unresponsible as fuck and we all learned our lesson, acouple people fell through the cracks and others served real time in jail for endangering the public. Like most people out here they kept doing it or just do it on the low now. Unfortunately my BMW was hit by a drunk driver one summer night 2 years ago at a stop sign, I wasn't in it, it was parked but dude ran the stop sign in a 90s Tahoe and my little red BMW that I worked my sweat blood and tears to get was gone, just like that, that happened in a corner store in Stockton. Now I drive a Cadillac. What kind of car you got?

Or just have a hookup. Have your hookup pass visual inspection, and tune your car close to stock as possible. Although they dont use the sniffer anymore, they go by ECU. Dont know if it will show that it has been tampered with.. or just have a saved stock file and your hookup can do his thing

Remember cop cars constantly scan license plates and notate time/date/location/etc And it gets reported to a database both state and federally where DMV and other motor agencies of your state has access to. Just take a trip for a week during registration time and process it while being outside the state. It will just be delayed or exempt.

[@TrojanLube69]

Btw, they scan so fast that even if you are going 180mph it will still be able to read and report to database. Unless you have it parked for a whole month inside your garage, it will be hard for it to work. City cameras are found to be doing the same thing (apparently their excuse is to catch amber alert vehicles or fugitives or use in an event of a crime) all of which I find the most public cases shown but they can still use those cameras too to find if you had it parked. If there is a big issue, or they see this video(highly likely now that they have a social media officer division) you will be in a lot of trouble. Specially if you are condoning or promoting illegal behavior as the creator of this video and not disclaiming that he is not a lawyer and it is not advice and you should consult a lawyer before, the maker of this video could get sued by anyone found guilty and he could face charges.
