As for not being able to point to the exact statute
This is what makes me question CA getting the blame for this.
Agreed that it seems to have started in '08. But nothing I find online shows any source but customers saying AutoZone staff told them it's "illegal". It well may be, but I can't find anything online that supports it.
What apparently has passed as support are Henny Penny shouts of "It's the Republik of Kalifornia" and that seems to be good enough for a lot of people. But if this were the result of legislative action around four, even five years ago, there'd be some trace on the Internet that even weak Google-Fu could find.
The 'net seems full of "AutoZone banned from reading trouble codes" links, but little or nothing about any other car chains in CA.
I'd sure like to see the exact source of this.
