Default Roadside emission monitors!?!?

Anyone notice that every now and then on 288 @ 610 there's an emissions monitoring van? What is it that it actually does? I know it monitors "emissions"! But, does it take pics of violators? Or is it just for keeping track of the smog in Houston?

In addition, the Department of Public Safety is using remote-sensing equipment in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth to target high-emitting vehicles commuting from adjacent ozone nonattainment counties. Those found with high emissions will be required to have their vehicles tested and repaired if they do not meet the standards. Through the required testing in these four counties and the remote sensing of commuting cars from adjacent counties, about 5 million vehicles in Texas will be affected by these regulations




........... Looks like trouble's ahead!!!
