I was a San Diego Deputy who worked traffic for 16 years, until 2013. I have taken the State class for modified vehicle enforcement. In that class we only targeted Ca. vehicles. With the number of out of state military in San Diego, there are literally thousands of non-Ca vehicles in the City and County. This should go viral letting people know San Diego has become hostile to out of state tourists and business who dare drive a non-Ca. vehicle.

It’s pretty bad. They’ve gotten people I know here with stock exhausts. For whatever reason they tend to leave military cars alone. I will see military member cars with on base registration billowing out smoke from no emissions go by cops. They’ll have no cats, no resonators or mufflers, long tube headers and sometimes no flames and they never do shit. It’s pretty crazy how the policing is down here. A lot of police and sheriffs have time to harass people over pretty stupid shit now but they won’t show up to someone walking around with a knife threatening people and things like that for hours, if at all. I guess they are too busy bothering people with stock exhaust on stock cars…

Happened to me in 21. They tried to state ref me for my powerstroke. I live in Texas. I just told them good luck with all that. I left three days later and was done with my trip to CA. Sent me a “official” letter. I just called and told them to do what they thought they needed to, and was told my truck would be on a list to find and do whatever they do. I said well if you find it in California it’s been stolen.

Can we not point out unjust laws and regulations without making people with actual identity issues a joke? I’ve seen this same comment basically all down this thread and it just takes away from the real issue. No one wants to support people that like to make others live the way they think they should, and so when you see that the people complaining about laws like this are the same people making the same tired jokes at the expense of the most vulnerable people in society, people are going to focus on that instead of the actual, legitimate issue raised. It’s just human nature, fair or unfair. So if you can’t control your human nature to ‘other’ fellow citizens, others aren’t going to control their human nature to preemptively decide anything you have to say is just as unintelligent, and nothing changes. This was really messed up and if a state wants to treat visitors this way, people need to know so they stop visiting. Idk if it’s worse or better than my state that basically bends over backwards for visitors at the expense of the locals. Two different extremes I guess. But nothing can change if people don’t learn about it and people won’t learn about it if the people that are bringing the issue up are the same people that think it’s hilarious to beat a dead horse, making the same jokes for well over a decade, and putting people down for absolutely no reason. If you are a dick to others why should anyone care that cops are dicks to you?

It’s illegal ( a misdemeanor ) to modify any exhaust as to make it louder than stock or defeat the emissions equipment in this state. California simply hates taxpayers.

California has simply become the FU state more interested in making regulations and causing higher prices while making it harder for people to visit and businesses to stay in business.

So if someone owns a non-modified Federal emissions vehicle, not a CA emissions vehicle. That vehicle can't be driven in CA?

That's what they say but I still haven't seen anything about it

So, if I own a vehicle that was certified to the Federal standards I have to change the car to meet the California standards?

Pardon my ignorance, what does Reffed mean?

It means you have to fix the issue and then go to a state "referee" to have the citation resolved.

When I did an engine swap on my 2005 mustang I had to provide documents that stated it met California emissions standards to pass MA state inspections. California must be God in disguise.

Welcome to Ca if a manufacturer does not pay Ca for a CARB certification for his part it can’t be used in this state it’s a scam two part’s exactly identical and because no carb sticker no dice I know happened to me on a turbo. Totally OE style but no sticker I had to replace it and if you own a diesel truck well they’re out to get you also!!

anyone know what SEMA has to say?

So one question that i have is that if you dont live there do you have to put your car back to stock? or do you just pay the fines and move on. that sucks man i dont think plp know that

Per ca dmv 12.145 Privileges of Nonresidents (VC §6700) The owner of any vehicle, other than a commercial vehicle, of a type subject to registration which is registered in a foreign jurisdiction may operate the vehicle in California until the owner accepts gainful employment in this state or establishes residency in this state, whichever occurs first, provided the vehicle displays valid license plates and has a valid registration issued to the owner, and the owner was a resident of that state at the time of issuance. A nonresident owner of a vehicle may operate, or permit operation of, a vehicle in California without obtaining California registration if the vehicle is registered in the place of residence of the owner and displays valid license plates issued by that state. This exemption does not apply if the nonresident owner rents, leases, lends, or otherwise furnishes the vehicle to a California resident for regular use on California highways. Any vehicle owned by a nonresident and furnished to a California resident for their regular use within this state must be registered in California within 20 days after first operation of the vehicle in this state by the resident (VC §4000.4). A nonresident registration that does not indicate an expiration date will be considered to expire one year from the date of first use of the vehicle in California. Fees are due immediately and must be paid within 20 days if the owner accepts gainful employment or establishes residency in California (VC §4152.5). www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/vehicle-industry-registration-procedures-manual-2/nonresident-vehicles/privileges-of-nonresidents/ www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/vehicle-industry-registration-procedures-manual-2/nonresident-vehicles/privileges-of-nonresidents/ I visit family in ca from out of state and never get hassled by ca cops or chp.

Thankd for the citations to vehicle code. I bet he is living in California and not visiting.

Okay - You spoke with an attorney - still hearsay. What is the actual state law that cites 'out of state' vehicles must be in compliance as soon as they hit the border? - Thanks

where does right to travel come in to play...ive seen lots of wins with that

California Motor Vehicle Code does specify how many decibels at what distance regarding noise. This is not an "emissions" check requiring you to adjust your smog. If you have a loud, exhaust disturbing others with your noise you can get pulled over.

If you got a state ref ticket in CA but your vehicle is registered out of state, it will not prevent you from continuing to register your vehicle out of state. It will be an issue if you want to move it to California. However, you still have a ticket to deal with.

I am from California and needed to go to do a presentation in Lassen County. I rented a car in Reno and drove over to Lassen County. I was driving a car that had Nevada plates on it. I was driving about 10 over the limit on a two lane highway. I passed a CHP going the opposite direction. He didn’t turn around right away but I saw he did eventually turn around and flip on his lights. By now he was several miles behind me. When I felt he was close enough and there was a safe place I pulled over and shutoff the ignition, opened the windows and kept both hands on the wheel. He went through the usual spiel. Then he looked at my license and rental agreement and said, “oh you’re from California.” It was at that moment that I realized I most likely got pulled over because I had Nevada plates and this was his M.O.. Yes I broke the basic speed law and was driving over the limit. However, lesson learned, I now check the plates on the car I rent and will only drive one with the state plates for the state I am in. Flash forward several years and I was driving the same stretch of road and saw the CHP pulled over another car with Nevada plates. Bottom line - I drive slower and check the plates before I drive out of the rental lot.

Lamborghini? Ferrari? Harley Davidson? Classic muscle cars? Route 66 Hotrods?

Dude, Australia has way harsh laws than California. If you get pulled over with any non-standard part fitted to your car you can be fined! They will fine you if your window washer bottle is too low, if they literally cannot get you for anything else? If you stop and lock your car and go into the woods or on private property there will be a fine slapped on your wind screen with a sticky back so they make sure it won't blow away in the wind and it will be addressed to the owner of the car! I drove my mate's parents Toyota Altize Camry and the police will do a full lock down blocking every single road and mass impounding of cars even if you aren't doing anything wrong? Your parked up with your car and hood open like a mini private car show and Nek Minnet coppers fucken everywhere. Dude's with their mod 4x4s simply take plates off and drive over traffic island to get away. You'll be lucky to come away from the car meeting with anything less that $2.5k in fines. Me.....I fucken locked the car and got my friends parents to come pick us up. They wrote a ticket for low washer fluid and they didn't even test the car to make sure? I got my friends parents to write to the police saying they parked in a public carpark and left their car there overnight and why were they receiving the fine? They didn't want to do it so I typed it all for them and threatened the police with court action if they didn't dismiss the infringement within 28 days. The cops deleted by the fine end of story.I wanted to exposes their BS in the court system!

Did you get a CA lawyer or WA lawyer?

Can anyone explain what “reffed” means?

Doesn’t matter what state you’re from. You have to comply with the local state. I drove a semi into California. Got flagged by Prius from CARB at the state line. Long story short, $13k in fines. Because too much soot at the exhaust. Done with that state!

That's their priority in that place, out of all things. Wouldn't even go there for vacation or whatnot, as that place just actively tries to restrict people from even travelling freely. Strucking a part of the American dream right at its heart.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that my economical 2001 Saturn (1.9L plastic 4-door) obeys the law in ALL FIFTY STATES. I think the laws were harmonized for 2001, but then Commiefornia tightened the emissions rules again in model year 2002.

What about your 14th amendment right? That ticket denies your right to travel. (1) the right to enter one state and leave another (an inherent right with historical support from the Articles of Confederation), (2) the right to be treated as a welcome visitor rather than a hostile stranger (protected by the "Privileges and Immunities" clause in Article IV, § 2), I'm guessing your in the navy, that means you have no requirement to change the registration or your license due to duty assignment.
