This is a lot like tattel taleing. The state does not have enough money to respond to everyones desires so it gets the citizens to help. The trouble I see is that the only thing they do it on is auto exhaust. A new way to harass your neighbor, tell the state that his car smokes. Guitly until he proves himself innocent. I had a friend who had a water hose blow. Steam rose from the car as he parked alongside the road to wait for the car to cool. When it cooled he fixed the problem and drove away only someone had reported his car smoking. He received a notice that he had to get the car fixed before the next registration. He had to pay for another smog inspection before needed and put up with the hassle. His crime, releasing water vapor. Another point is that more oil is leaked than burned in a car. Leaked oil gets into ground water and into the air but there is no 800-snitch number for that. DonB
