Question

Improper display of License Plate??


Wife was recently pulled over (state of AR) for improper display of license plate. She had the plate in the window in CLEAR view!! Was just curious to the actual black and white print which says you HAVE to place the plate in a certain freakin spot??!

Also, what would the policies of police 'ride-alongs' be in the state?? As the officer apparently had his girlfriend or whatever along for the ride??

The license plate in your state must be mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle and the rear is required to have illumination after dark. The window does not qualify. The rider in the police car has no bearing in your case.
