Los Angeles County Police Smog Check Points
In Los Angeles County, police have started to take vehicle emissions enforcement to a whole new level by implementing Smog Check Points similar to how they have done DUI checkpoints in the past.
These checkpoints are designed to catch vehicles that are operating with expired smog certifications or that have been illegally modified to bypass emission controls. If your vehicle is flagged at one of these checkpoints, you could face significant fines and penalties.
How to Stay Compliant
It is imperative to ensure your vehicle is working inside the laws of California so as to avoid being fined during these Smog Check Points. Here are some tips:
- Keep your smog certification up to date with biennial testing
- Don't modify your vehicle's emission control systems
- Address any check engine lights promptly
- Visit a STAR Certified station for accurate, unbiased testing
