Car tags and vehicle inspection

Here in Memphis we have to run our cars through a vehicle inspection every year before we can get a renewal sticker for our car tag. We pay a $106 a year for a little sticker that has 07, 08 for the year, etc. The residents of Memphis have to have a full vehicle inspection, windshield, lights, turn signals, brakes, brake lights, wipers, emissions, etc. Now the residents of Shelby County only have to take their cars through to test their emissions which I feel is unfair. And this testing for the emissions in their cars just started around a year or two ago. Before that they never had to go through inspection. They can drive around with broken windshields while city residents have their vehicles failed for a cracked windshield, even if it is on the passenger side. I feel this is unfair. We have to replace our windshield first which I am going to have to do on our Honda for a 8 inch crack on the passenger side, nearly $300 down the drain. Wondering what other cities require a vehicle inspection before getting a renewal sticker and what they charge for a sticker. Mississippi is cheap on the sticker if it is a used vehicle but on a brand new one they charge around $400 or $500 or more depending on the vehicle, and just for a sticker. That is what I've heard anyway.
