I've never heard of an individual being fined for removing/disabling emissions equipment, only businesses. Have you?

lots of car owners are fined or have their vehicle licenses removes or suspended for failing to maintain smog emissions standards.

Being fined by your state for not meeting emissions is one thing, being fined by the EPA for disabling emissions equipment is another, much larger thing.
