Reply #3: Yes I seem to have noticed that

If a vehicle is inspected then at least once a year it complies with safety standards.

That said, I know a few folks who cannot afford nice cars and drive old junkers. They are frequently stopped in certain upscale areas of south Tulsa. I've yet to hear anyone say they actually got a ticket though. Seems at least a few cops are using vehicle safety issues as a reason for a traffic stop, an inspection and an inquisition of the vehicle occupants.
