Yes
But even American citizens should be against this. Imagine a DOT officer handing you a document then compelling you to read it out loud and then compelling you to write something on a paper to prove 'whatever' they want. Right away, this is a 5th Amendment violation since they cannot compel you to be a witness against yourself. You have every right to remain silent in this encounter and there is nothing they can do about it, especially not issuing a $5000 fine for not answering a state actor (law enforcement). This smacks of 1930's Germany Gestapo antics.

 

Just reading what was writ.

So is interstate commerce law above California carb crap too?

Does that mean I can run my 31yr old non compliant truck into California & just tell em to pack sand?

 

Unknown of the legalities of it , but there is plenty of old iron out there in cali still... I see a old cabover car hauler almost everytime I go out there running up and down i-5. And a handful of 379s

 

Yes and no.
Remember driving in the United States is considered a 'privilege' subject to the various rules of the state in which you are in. Indeed, you have the right to remain silent, and the state has the right to revoke your 'privilege' for doing so. Ask anyone who was suspected of DUI and refused a test.
We have laws for a reason......this is one of them.

 

I would say if a driver is pulled in for inspection and they observe at that point when talking with them that it’s an issue then i’i say they should address it at that point.

 

Nope, try again.

 

Can Canadians not write or speak English?

 

You mean these limited English speaking steering wheel holders can't use a translate app on their phone?
I see & hear them using it in a restaurant & it works just fine!

 

Sorry, gonna disagree. The English Language Requirement for operating a CMV says you must be able to adequately read and speak English. Checking this is no different that a DOT Inspection that checks your logs, headlights and brakes.
