I'm not sure I understand the relevance of this program. In Missouri, 
where my car is registered, annual renewal of the plates requires an
inspection, of which emissions is one of the tests. If you fail it, you
don't get your plates until you car is up to specs.

Why not just make sure laws like these are enforced? It seems easier than
calling up a number and snitching on people.
