You guys need to make a rotating license plate thingy like James Bond had on his cars in the old movies where it can switch say up to 4 different plates at the touch of a button. |

Well, I agree that VA is pretty harsh, but in all honesty I don't really find much to argue against the emissions stuff. I think HFCs should be legal but IMO no one really has any business running test pipes on a street driven car. That's just me, though.

Texas uses them to determine air quality with traffic and research. Main reason I know this is because they have all the equipment setup for air testing yet no cameras around or video recording equipment.

More digging it seems Texas has a similar system in they will ticket you but no info online about anyone actually being given a ticket.
Also, our rule states: identified as a 'gross polluter' will receive a notice, which could mean anything to nothing. I run catless with a fairly open exhaust and nothing, I know many who run LTHs to short exhaust cut in front of the wheels off of V8s and nothing.

I still floor it when I get next to a Prius so I'm not that much of a hippie.

Yep. The officer said I could face up to a $10,000 Federal fine if I didn't put the stockers back on.
