If you are operating your vehicle on state and federal highways, according to vehicle code they have the right.

It still doesn't mean that they can check it with out my consent. They would need a warrant to do a smog check with out my consent. To do the check they would have to KNOW that my car is a gross polluter and they cant just use probable cause unless my car is dumping black smoke or something like that.
Because there is no way to tell if my car is a gross polluter from just looking at a car.
Now saying all of this my cars pass smog every two years and I don't do anything that will make them not pass smog.
