I've also had friends who suddenly had bad days when they had to start passing smog checks on base.

Edit: It's along the same lines as the '75 and older smog check exemption. (Except that this really is an exemption) It makes you exempt from smog checks, but not actually exempt from the smog emissions requirements. It's still unlawful to remove the catalytic convertor on your 1975 POS, it's just not required that you take that POS and get it smog checked every other year. So if you get pulled over and piss the officer off, (assuming he knows the law) he could write you a pretty expensive ticket.
True, he could write me a ticket... I'll give you that, it'll be tossed at court since I can prove my car isn't required to be smog compliant, well atleast not CA standards
