I think that it has always been in the books that pollution control devices
were not allowed to be tampered with or removed. It's just that now they
are enforcing it to the Nth degree. I would guess that the mechanics who do
the safety checks will not be turning a blind eye anymore.

This is ridiculous.
So the Safety Nazis from California have been emigrating North, huh? This
all boils down to the deluded thought that the government is better-equipped
to protect the poor, stupid public than the public is themselves. By
ensuring that all the original erquipment is still installed and
functioning, they are also protecting the rest of the population by assuring
that they are not breathing any more noxious fumes than is necessary. Next
they'll want us all to find and mount our bumpers...
How can you change the rules after vehicles have been exempt for years, if
not decades? Sounds like a fight is brewing, or at least should be brewing.
You need to find some way to get a public outcry going. I say "you" but I
should probably be saying "we". If it goes unrestricted anywhere, it is
likely to spread elsewhere and eventually everywhere. Beurocrats all think
alike everywhere.
