edit: I did some searching and remembered a thread a while ago talking about this...
not sure what the exact law/penalty is
There is no way its a $10,000 fine. Thats just rediculous

I've seen cars crushed for not being street legal... so why is a $10K fine crazy?

I mean if you say so, just in my experience I've never seen anything more than a rap on the knuckles and a ticket that goes away once you get your car inspected with the cats on.

its definitely true and here in good ol MA the computers can detect if you shut off your rear O2s when plugged into the OBD II. So you'll fail regardless, hopefully you'll luck out in NC. They seem to be more strict where the population density is higher.
