Again, as far as I know, policemen don't enforce smog laws.



exactly!

it its something within reason, and they see out of state plates, they might not mess with the person because think of the hassle it would be take care of a fix it ticket if youre visiting from MI. but, that doesnt mean they cant do it. if youre driving on the freeway like an A-hole, you can almost expect it. wouldnt worry about the smog at all, unless of course the back of your car shoots smoke like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang even then , i wouldnt worry about it that much. i have never even heard of someone being ticketed for smog, dont think its possible. they cant just say "i think you should have a smog check done to see if youll pass". as Jim said, only during registration and when bringing a vehicle into CA permanently.
