[s-cars] Central door lock system won't pass state inspection

[John Cunningham]

Mass has an enforcement program where they are sending undercover staff 
out to private inspection shops with "plant" cars to see if they check 
everything.  When they miss some little item the shop gets dinged and 
cited.  One specific completely stupid trick is seat belts - a common 
thing for an inspector to overlook.  My bud w/ a C4 A6 got dinged for a 
faulty center belt in the rear seat (wouldn't retract all the way...), 
because the shop had been busted for that before by an enforcement 
plant.  Of course no-one had ever ever ever sat in that seat but didn't 
matter... had to work...

Don't know about door locks but wouldnt' be surprised if its on the list 
of official things that they always ignored before but now the 
bureaucrats are using as a buckle-down trick.
