Since I live in So Calif and can't tell you how many times I've come through the AG Inspection which is now closer to the actual border than it ever was before....its now located at the new weigh station just past State line.
A matter of fact, most times NO ONE is even attending this station and other times, your simply waved through. On the rare occasion someone is manning the station, they may ask where you are coming from? or if you have any fruit? Since the general reply is Las Vegas, you get waved through also. Why someone MIGHT be singled out is rather simple, you have a plate from someplace other than Calif/Nevada...in this case New York! Chances are someone from the East Coast entering Calif may have purchased fruits or vegetables along their cross country trip...Hell, I'm no Rocket Scientist, but I can figure that one out.
Since all like to Dig on Calif here, I can tell you with No hesitation, I'd take everything that greater Los Angeles has instead of what greater New York City has any day of the week. If you don't like Calif...stay home, won't hurt my feelings!
