State Name is Pennsylvania / Northampton County
I was driving with a Pennsylvania plate, but with no inspection sticker. I am not questioning the ticket it's self, but more the way I received it.
I drove from my home to a local body shop and was sitting in the body shop for approx. 15 minutes when a police officer came in to ask who owned the gray truck outside. When I said it was mine, he asked me to step outside and proceeded to give me a ticket for no inspection sticker. Apparently, he had seen me on the street, but had to turn around and look for me. As mentioned, I was in the store for at least 15 minutes before he came to get me and I had no idea he was looking for me. I have heard from a few people, it may have been against the law for the officer to go into a private location to get me for this ticket. Does anyone know if the officer had the right to pull me out of a private business and to cause me this embarresment?
