I am curious about the refereed noise level process in CA; do you receive a form stating that the test was passed? If so, how long is it good for?

In Florida some years ago, a friend had his (admittedly raggedy looking) '67 Fairlane with a race engine pulled over by a New Smyrna Beach cop. The car had been inspected earlier THAT DAY and had a new sticker. The cop was about to arrest him and charge him with stealing an inspection sticker, however my friend was able to produce the receipt for the inspection that had been done earlier in the day. When he produced that, whatever probable cause the cop might have imagined he had fell apart. He let my friend go at that point.

If the OP produces the document given to him by the referee, wouldn't that remove any probable cause for the noise issue?
