Found a couple of things here:
V.C. Section 2806 - Vehicle and Equipment Inspection This one is old, but still applies: V.C. Section 2814 - Roadside Inspection--Smog Control Stickers

f this state and I'm starting to want to move out of this country too. Now they want to force me to buy government sanctioned health insurance too.
They're just a bunch of thieves robbing everyone blind.

You cannot have a valid registration in CA without having passed an up to date smog check.
Having you go through a smog check point, and you have a valid registration, would be a violation of your 4th amendment!

They don't stop all vehicles. I've been through a couple of them when I had a boosted hatch back; but not as of recently. What they look for are "gross polluter" which are cars that have faulty or missing smog equipment. Usually when I pass by, they target older cars or cars that look heavily modified.
Usually its just a quick visual inspection of smog equipment; however, if they have something to suspect, they'll do a quick sniffer test right there. What they'll do is attach this probe to the end of your exhaust and hold your car idle above 3K and evaluate the emissions. I wouldn't be too worried if you had high flow cats; since technically they are still functional Catalytic converters. If you have test pipes, after market turbo kit, or have a lot of exterior modification I would be weary.
