So I was wondering if anyone knows the crime/punishment for being caught with a car that doesn't smog. I mean if you pay someone to smog you so it's all good, but then you get caught, and you and the smog shop would get in trouble.

What would be the punishment for me?
The fine?
Is it a fellony?
Any jail time?
Car impounded?
I live in California.

Uh.. this is all for informational purposes only. I'm asking because a friend, yeah, is thinking about putting in a crate engine to his car, and my friend is thinking of paying someone off to smog it. (motor swap related)

 

thats a darn good question! I want to do a BBC swap and was thinking of paying someone off if it wont pass. Here in texas we are fixing to go to standards AS strict if not MORE than CA's
