I've been pulled over in Pennsylvania for old expired PA inspection

and am registered in Ohio.

The sticker color changes each time so easy to alert. Some years ago,
the stickers were yellow and I knew a guy that used Top Value Trading
Stamps and never got stopped.

The inspection stations all had a gimmick too. One would pass any car
but the three that I took all needed a headlight adjustment. Quick,
cheap and easy and you did not question it as the worn ball joints they
ignored would have been very expensive.
Are these inspectors never checked?
Sure. It is also fodder for the newspapers to expose a couple of shops. The ones often caught are the scammers. The one that says you need parts that you don't and they may or may not replace it. How many people know what a drag link is, let alone how to check it.
The ones that need work but get passed anyway are not going to complain.
