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.
