Here in the US there are definitely people that uninstall-reinstall equipment to do emissions checks so I imagine that might not be the biggest risk, but in one of the comments on the article it also mentions that you could still be pulled over for speeding if someone sees you going over 55 and could likely lose your license.


> you could still be pulled over for speeding if someone sees you going over 55

That risk is mainly significant when there's a "general speed-check raid" going on, the periodical drives the police undertakes to remind motorists that speed limits exist and should be obeyed. If you're just going between 55 and the speed limit in this thing, it's not all that likely to attract the attention of any passing traffic plice officer so they even aim their radar at it, since it looks pretty much like any other (penis-envy variant of) pickup truck.
