Anyone know if this is true?

Initially I was looking at this thread but I'm curious if any one knows if this post is true.

As for the registration stickers, it was indeed to save money. In addition, inspection stations will be issuing warnings for minor equipment violations(i.e. lamps that are out, improper color of lamps, tinted windows), but advising motorists that they may still get pulled-over and ticketed for the violation. This is also to save money because the private company that runs the state inspections stations charges the State about $25.00 per reinspection for vehicles that were failed/rejected on their initial inspection.

Could that be why they like to fail people so much?

Well, thats bs. I get at least about 10 customers a week that "fail" for wiper blades, light bulbs, and even had a customer come in because they failed her for having a nail in her tire. The nail didnt puncture all the way, but they still failed her...

I remember hearing about how they were supposed to lighten up, but if any goverement oversight is being done, they arent realizing that they are still failing people for minor things.

Yep.

Anything to do with the emissions system is fair game.
