I've spent hours trying to find any info on Referee tickets in California but the only information I can find is from 4 years ago and later for some reason. Please direct me to any info I may have missed and thank you for your help.

Situation:

I got a ref ticket for a loud exhaust, tint and a missing smog device on an s13 equipped with an SR20. I got my paperwork in the mail and it says that the bail amount is $550, however I still have to provide proof of fixing everything (I've read that in the past paying the bail would just set you free).

I've read that the way people get around the ticket is by "selling" it to someone they trust and then "buying" it back after going to court and paying the fines. I don't really want to deal with this, and I would rather just sell the car to someone but I want to make sure that the buyer (if they are from Cali) won't have to pass the ref inspection before registering the car. I don't want to screw anyone over and if this is not the case I will just register the car as track-only or sell it out of state.

Thank you for your help.
