Additionally, the lack of a scheduled biannual inspection does NOT make the car smog exempt. If I find the wrong officer when driving my 240Z (or if I was in a "no biannual smog county") they could refer me to BAR and force me to make the car emission compliant again. Be kind when you get pulled over and this is very unlikely, but it is still possible.

Bingo!!
I’m not sure why people think it’s only California that has these smog laws, it’s only in 49 other states also lol California is full of liberal democratic hippies that care much more for the environment. Btw 2000 and up vehicles don’t get a sniffer test once they’ve smogged once, just a visual and a DTC check.
