It should be legal to run a straight-pipe if your cat gets stolen through no fault of your own. The economics incentives of the black market are there in the first place largely proximal to policy. As it stands .gov gets to light the candle from both ends, going after those failing emissions while also going after the cat thieves.
Edit: Love the helpful comments though telling poor people just to move out of the city if their cat gets stolen, as if moving is easy if you can't afford to replace a cat.
- solomatov 4y agoWhat incentives do you mean? Catalytic converters protect all of us from harmful compounds in exhaust, and I don't see why to fight thieves we need to breathe bad air.

- oblib 4y agoAs someone who lives in a rural area I and most of those who live in such places around here tend to frown on that sort of thing. We put a high very value on our clean air.

- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoAt the very least it should be legal during the time you take to earn the money to pay for the replacement, and on the way to the shop, like it's done with getting your car registered.
