[QUOTE="mswaim, post: 823276, member: 538"] California CVC section 42001.14(a) covers the altering, modifying or disconnecting of all required pollution control devices. It is considered an infraction, and as such is not an "impoundable" offense. First conviction is punishable by a fine of not more than $100 or less than $50. Now if your a business who alters or removes a device, you will face much stiffer penalties, however they are not covered under the CVC, they would be covere by the B & P codes. EDIT Actually, I was wrong. the citing section for higher fines would come from the California H & S Code, not B & P. Section 43008.6 (a-b) allows the courts to collect up to $1,500 per offense or failure to pass smog due to tampering. The EPA statutes would have to be cited and the case heard in a Federal court. If the officer utilized the CVC and H & S sections, the money would stay locally. With that said, which way do you think it will go? [/QUOTE]
