Plate sticker ticket!!!

[coyo]

No. When a plate is runned by the police the last validation date is displayed on the record check. With that information available upon a plate search why would you even come up with someone stealing the sticker off someone's plate as a scenario?

@ Bulza: Just take the ticket to court. This is a ticket issued under poor discretion.

Because a record check is not a guaranteed event and because performing one was not always possible, so the law has not kept up with technology.

And technology sometimes doesn't work so that sticker is the actual evidence of validation for THAT vehicle. Further, any information that a cop gets from the computer is hearsay and not necessarily admissible in court other than it allows the officer to believe that an offense has been committed or continue in the investigation.
