Clearly you've not dealt with CA Smog. They don't play. CHP will stop you to inspect your car for compliance. They have sniffer vans that sit on the side of the road and record your plate. This isn't like other states where you palm the guy a $20 and hit the road. They have state referees out there validating compliance as well. While CARB may seem like overkill, obviously you've never seen the smog in the 70's-80's. That's why AZ and NV are both very quick to adopt any CA smog requirements. Both Phoenix and Las Vegas are in valleys and the air quality is generally shit.
