hell, be happy you passed emissions man. but if its that much of the hassle just go to a personal one and pay the $70, they'll usually help to for smaller issues (tint, lights, etc.)

I dunno about NJ but in NYC I can just go any of the NYS Registered garage to have them check. Inspection station in NYC(at least the ones I've been to) dont really care they just gonna pass pass pass pass pass (keep pressing P on the computer) .... but they will at least tell you what you should change (want more business)
kinda lousy if u ask me, cuz I've seen so many thread-less tire cars walk out with a brand new inspection sticker ...
Emission is different story tho. I have one more year to go before I have to do the sniff check ... no sweat tho, I have no turbo/sc and I have CAT. so Im good !
but Chizz .... I'm with you on this one. It really suck when something like that happen. Most of the ppl who work for the government just want to be an *** because they will not fired for having *bad service/bad temper*. That sound like what happened to me when I was at DEP couple months ago. That fat bitch was giving me **** about my water bill (it showed that I used 1K worth of water, I dont have leaks or whatever so get the fuxk outa here), I was talking with her for 1/2 hour then she was annoyed or something and start raising her voice. So I raise mine and asked for supervisor. PoS go suck it. (in the end it was a computer *glitch*)

Dear Sir;
The Department of Transportation received your e-mail regarding motor vehicle inspections and asked us to respond.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your inquiry. The State of Florida does not have a mandatory motor vehicle inspection program. A motor vehicle safety inspection program has not been authorized since Florida's original motor vehicle safety inspection was abolished in 1981. There have been a few bills filed for this purpose, but, no laws have been passed.
Florida law does address the safety of vehicles on Florida highways and provides enforcement authority. Florida law allows a police officer to stop vehicles believed to be unsafe or not equipped as required by law and submit the vehicle to an inspection. Florida law also allows officers to require proper repair and adjustment within 48 hours if the vehicle doesn't present a hazard. However, if the vehicle is found to be in unsafe condition and operation would present an unduly hazardous condition, the officer may require the vehicle to be immediately repaired or removed from use. The requirements of law may be found in Florida Statutes, 316.610(1) and (2).
Florida’s Motor Vehicle Inspection Program (MVIP) was abolished, effective July 1, 2000, based on information from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that clean air standards had been met and the program was unnecessary. DEP staff determined the four southern counties subject to the inspection program were in compliance with the federal ozone standard and would continue to be in compliance with this standard without the inspection program.
In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that Florida demonstrated it could maintain required air quality standards without the inspection program. Any action that would require the motor vehicle emissions inspection program to be reinstated would have to be enacted by the Florida legislature.
Hopefully, the information provided adequately addresses your inquiry.
Sincerely,
William H. Rankin, Chief
Bureau of Field Operations
Division of Motor Vehicles
Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles

I like my states with mountains AND ocean. And curvy roads. And the only inspection is for emissions, which means they just check your OBDII for codes and let you go.
