Simply removing the emissions equipment isn't always against the law.
It violates federal law so it's illegal everywhere in the US. You aren't likely to get caught unless you live in an area that requires emission testing or inspections, but it's still illegal.
As I said, it isn't "always" against the law. The law is a funny, and often misinterpreted creature. You have to pay attention to the wording regarding gasoline powered vehicles vs. diesel powered. There's a difference in legality and liability regarding a private person in lieu of a dealer/mechanic. There's also a difference between simply driving and selling. I don't profess to be a legal expert, but I've read enough to understand that you're likely to not get in trouble for deleting your truck.

or they just don't like the government. I take it you've made mods to your truck.
I fail to see your point, being the supposed mandatory correlation between dislike of the government and making modifications to your truck. If I bought a K & N breather kit because it advertised 3% more horsepower or a programmer to modify shift points, I suppose that means I have distaste for government regulations. Lord only knows what you would think if I bought slightly larger tires. The arrogance of my privilege must be sad.
