On Thursday, July 20, the California Department of Consumer Affairs’ Bureau of Automotive Repair, along with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, served a search warrant at Vernon Smog Star, a licensed Smog Check station, located at 1785 E. Vernon St, in the city of Los Angeles. The warrant comes as a continuation of the bureau’s work that began last April with “Operation Doorstop,” a statewide enforcement operation directed at some 200 licensed Smog Check stations across the state suspected of using devices to cheat on Smog Check inspections.
