Then you got lucky I guess, because state law specifically says otherwise. Ever seen the big posters in emission stations? There's a reason why they say test early. You do NOT get a free 30 day extension to your tag by having a failed emissions test. I'm sure most cops would feel for you and might give you a warning more often than not, but I doubt really highly that any precinct is going to require their officers to not give out tickets for expired tags as long as you have "a really good reason."
