Yeah, Italian Ticino in Switzerland has a special division of road police, Camorino Inspection Centre for Vehicles.
Between Italy and Switzerland there is an agreement about vehicles therefore if you modify you car, Italy plated, and drive to Switzerland you might be pulled and ticket for car mods not certified. Tickets are very high and you might go under judgement about some violations such as sound level of exhaust, emissions modification and so on. Each time you get pulled about these violations you need to pay over Euros 4/5.000 and you go under judgement (other expenses).
Camorino's police get a kind of "Manual" of engine bay and exhaust for several vehicles and sometimes they check if the your one is stock or not. In Switzerland it's illegal any Navy with POI for cams and tele-laser too.
Some of us use to drive to France (from Turin + 120 miles) to reach Nurburgring in Germany to avoid any issue with Switz. For us the Paradise in Europe is Germany. Some Autobahn have many kms of free drive with no speed limits, it's usually to see Zonda and Lambo, GT3RS drive over 300 KMs/h.
