Smog check point in CA

So I thought it was a joke a couple days ago when I heard there are "smog check points" in CA.

To my dismay, on my way to work this morning, on the opposite side of the street I noticed what looked like a DUI checkpoint at 8:30 in the A.M. When I drove by, I realized it was a Smog check point. Had all 3 lanes going down to 1 lane with cones and they had a dyno on the right side of the street. I have no clue how they decided to pick the car that was on the dyno, but it looked like they had a ford thunder bird on the dyno (maybe a 98? )

Anyways, let's say you had a exhaust, downpipe, a tune, any engine work. If you drove through one of those checkpoints what would probably happen? Would you be hit with a fine? Would they make you take everything aftermarket off?
