It's about control. It's about people in government thinking they know better how you should live your life than you do.
Funny you bring that up.

California is actually pretty fair... if you live in a high-smog area, you get to do biannual smog.

Basic: usual "sniffer" test + visual
Enhanced: must use roller drum (idle sniffer test if you have a AWD vehicle)

Otherwise you are actually exempt until you change ownership.
