New California Law for Out of State Trucks and RV's

About ten or so years ago, I entered a freeway which for once was moving pretty fast- the speed limit or faster, and about half way down the ramp was a sign that read, Survey Party. I was probably wide open throttle the I passed the sign, and there was a small table set up off to the side with two guys sitting there, looking pretty legit. My vehicle was my 91 Chevy 1500 pick up, 5.7 liter TBI engine, pure stock and all. About two weeks later,I got a letter from the state informing me that my vehicle, the before described truck, was observed at that location, on ramp and all, and that it was excessively exceeding emissions and instructing me to get it repaired. It wasn't a citation, no deadline, but the thing that stood out in my mind was that there was no indication of an emission check or anything else other than the falsely labeled survey party. Face it, here's government lying again, doing what it does best. Next time that a smog inspection was required for a registration renewal, it still passed with flying colors. Now, what good is a government that lies to its constituency? What would happen if we did that to them? What kind of treasonous reaction would they do in response to our gross anarchy? Also, if your big rig is registered out of state and you ignore all their correspondence and never bring it back out here, just what are they going to be able to do about it? Good question that deserves an answer.
