CHP smog checkpoint - City Of Industry

[CybeRise]

Heading westbound about a mile away from the entrance to the 60 freeway west on GALE ave. Just passing Turnbull Canyon.

what do they do on smog checkpoints?

[CybeRise]

Look for SR dudes and other people with car problems...

[kamikazestorm420]

is it like a traffic stop where they check stuff?

[myRed240]

Is there anyway to tell it's a smog checkpoint from a distance?

And how do they know who to check, unless of course you're riced out or something like that?

Man all these random checkpoints in LA make SD all that much better...lol

[CybeRise]

Well from a distance it looks like road construction.

Then when you get close there are cones placed along the road so you can't turn. Then CHP officers are standing around to pull over anyone who turns around.

Then they do random stops one lane keeps going and the other lane is closed and set up with a mobile smog checking machine. I'm guessing all modded cars get pulled over. And all other cars are just random.

I passed it going the other way and it looked like it was just some random cars on the machine and in line to get checked.

If you don't pass, its a ticket or is it a tow?

[CybeRise]

I couldn't tell you bro..

[kamikazestorm420]

I'm guessing all modded cars get pulled over.

what if i have stock exhaust? am i considered modded?

[CybeRise]

Yeah they'd probably pull you over.

In most cases, if you do not pass they will issue you a state ref ticket, unless your car is a "gross-polluter" then your vehicle will probably be towed but this is very unusual. Always look ahead when driving! STAY AWAY FROM BROOKHURST STREET IN FOUNTAIN VALLEY (orange county) THEY CONSTANTLY SET UP SNIFFERs IN THIS AREA!!!

[Importroller]

SD has them too. they have been concentrating on the Kearny Mesa area a lot lately. Im guessing due to the fusion meets weekly

[JustinStrife]

bleh one reason I hardly ever drive the S13...

I got pulled over a month ago by a sherrif who was going the opposite way 1 mile from my house. He checked out all my info then let me go. I think that huge FMIC made him feel antsy.

[Hooked on 240]

wow im lovin ny even more. the only thing we have is if your exhaust is too loud. But the bad thing is when they repo drug dealers cars... they use them for pd use and pull u over in them so you never know what they have up there sleve.by the way im near albany (capital) so i dont know about the city... NY Troopers & Police =
