    Ive yet to hear of see anything from the Green Police,hear plenty of rumors but nothing viable.

    I idle when and where I need to,even in these alleged "hot area's" around large metro cities.

    Only real issue,if you would even call it an issue? are the drivers that approach my truck(when they see me sitting up front) to advise me
    of the no idle ordinance in that area.

    You tend to Yours,I'll tend to mine :biggrin_2554:

    None of the anti-idling laws are the result of EPA regulation. They are all local or state laws, mostly since CARB started business out in the People's Republic of KaliFornicateYou.

    OTOH, it would probably help everyone involved if the feds would get involved and issue a standard regulation instead of the patchwork of BS that exists now.

    CARB (Green Police) are the EPA LEA (Law Enforcement Agency)

    We've seen the green police out inspecting trucks and having the local cops ticket. It was in CA. They came knocking on our door to ticket us but we have that nifty little sticker that says we're a clean truck and can idle.

    It's the bans at customers, suppliers etc that cause us problems. However, their security people are easily frightened but insane menopausal women.

    It doesn't matter....the laws were passed....
    Btw...Mary Nichols has been around since Jerry Brown was governor back in the 70's....He's running again.....
    More absurd liberal laws on the horizon should he win....
