Way back when they had emissions testing in Duval county (I lived in Clay without that crap) and was driving my VW Rabbit diesel PU, (it only had a hair over 450K I think) over to my girlfriends in Jax. Well I'm just cruising along (couldn't speed in that truck, by the time I got up to the speed limit, I would be at the next light. As I was cruising along, I noticed that a cop was behind me with his lights on.

First thing he did was inform me that my truck was smoking (typical shift point smoke, not bug truck smoke) and he wanted to see my emissions form and when I told him that I didn't have one, he started to tell me he was going to have it impounded, but when I told him I lived in Clay county (back then the license plates had the counties very clearly on the bottom, in FL.) he seemed a big agitated, then when he brought up that he observed puffs of smoke from the VW and I should get that checked out, at that point, I told him it was a diesel (and it even said so on the tail gate LOL) he got quiet and told me I could go on my way.
