california cops issue an obscene amount of fixit tickets. cops pull you over if they notice anything wrong and you have to go through a whole bunch of bullshit to get the fixes signed off. however my personal theory on why CA doesn't have inspection is because californians take their car aesthetics very seriously and you won't find massive inspection stickers on peoples' windows (an inspection regime demands proof of inspection) also, the dealerships don't put their own badges on the back of the cars, and parking passes are generally the kind that hang from the rear view mirror. we don't want that shit cluttering up our vehicles
