From what people have told me i hear this goes on all the time or just will be super busy because its labor day.
Also what a waste of time, most cars post 1989 are very clean and basically clean the air as they move.

SR20's in good condition (stock of course) have non-existant HC's and CO's with a working cat.
The NOX tends to be super high (2500+) because the engine has no EGR valve.
So what happens if you refuse?

My guess? They probably cite and/or arrest you on the spot.
Then they smog the car anyways.
Of course, if this were to happen you could contest it in court...

my friend got pulled over last week on golden springs/colima and grand ave. said the cops pulled over like 7 cars at a time.
You sure it was a smog check? I drove by, at the time and it looked to be a sobriety check point. I spoke with one of the officers while i was heading towards the tennis courts in my car and he didn't mention anything bout it (my car) having a loud ass exhaust, kit, and wheels. I'm sure it wasn't a check point for smog related issues.
