People indeed do this to get out of inspections (that's also why you see Ohio plates here) but TBH I don't think inspections are scams. (OK I'll give you the emissions BS though) Go to Ohio and look at the shitboxes that drive on the road over there everyday or the pieces of shit that they sell used there. An old job of mine required me to occasionally travel that entire state and their cars are absolute junk there compared to PA and WV, which both require yearly inspections. I think the emissions thing is a ripoff but otherwise will never ever complain about inspections considering I've seen what people will try and get away with on the road if they're held to no standard.
