Actually, if you removed the CEL bulb, or otherwise disabled it, the computer will throw a special code indicating tampering with the system, which will fail the car. Most states that require inspection also require scanning the car and submitting that data to the state computer in order to pass the car. You cannot simply ignore the problem, or try to cheat the system by clearing the light just before going for inspection, it won't work as the I/M Readiness scan will catch it.

If people spent half the time spent on trying to circumvent these systems on actually fixing the car, you would probably be back on the road already.
