Hell thats what they were designed for - the rear view mirror - thats obstruction of view and people get pulled over for it all the time now.
It's just an opening to initiate contact in the hopes it will lead to bigger things.

Serve and protect(their jobs).
Glad I live in Arkansas or I'd be in trouble

I saw (seen, for your southerners) a guy on the TV show Cops get pulled over and subsequently arrested for DUI all because his license plate was obstructed by a tow ball on the bumper of his Dodge Dakota.
And you have a real tow hitch anyway.
I got a ticket in the mail probably 2 months ago for that from the city of new Orleans for speeding in a school zone,

and as you guys can tell that is not even a ford. you must be a genius to work there! we have the same license plate except his is a 9 and mine is an 8 where the ball on the bumper is covering up the number. it had me scared for a minute when I first got it in the mail lol. and I have air freshener, duck calls and my tassel from high school that says class of 11 on it all hanging from the rear view mirror and have never been pulled over once for that, knock on wood!

I've been pulled over multiple times for window tint. Only cost me once so far. Had 5% on my ranger, but he got me for speeding in a business district as well (radar detector never went off). Have 20% on my current truck and been let go 2-3 times. Last time I got stopped for tint I only got off cuz a MO st trooper stopped me, got off only cuz I had just moved to KS and had registration to prove it (still had MO tags on though). He jumped the median to pull me over for tint.

Never really had any problems other than that. Been flashed a couple times by cops when I have my fogs on, but they havent pulled me over for it yet.

(whistling) jumped a median to pull you over for tint an let you go hahahaa! I've never been pulled over except for sound twice and and got a ticket for it once. I got it fixed but I only for a ticket because it was from a state trooper who took his job WWWAAAAAYYYYYY to seriously. gave me a back story how id never survive in the marines like he did an blah blah. usually the cops in st Charles parish dont give a crap unless its something serious. on river road the speed limit is 35 an I was doing 50 an had a cop on my ***, like i usually do to people, making me go faster lol. knock on wood

This is my rear end. Blacked taillights with lamps on. Pretty visible, even when it's light out.
