George,
The same holds true here in Canada. Except here they actively enforce it.
I heard recently that the provincial authority for emissions was pulling over cars exiting a car show and issuing $380.00 fines to those who didn't have the factory-installed emissions equipment still installed. And the fine is PER MISSING component! (EGR Valve, Cats (if applicable), Evap Can, Air pump etc.).
Even if you happen to have a valid e-test it doesn't help because it's the removal they are targeting, not clean air.
