While I find them beyond tacky, to consider them a significant criminal act is as absurd as the fact they exist in the first place

Right?!?
Let them self-identify.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Stupid and tacky should not be against the law.

It hurts no one and is harmless.

One more invasion of my rights I can do without.

You're in Idaho?

And it isn't harmless. It's a public display of lewdness. This is the way we got to where we are in this society- by seemingly harmless increments.

The funny thing is, Republicans came up with the bill, and a Republican governor signed it. Those opposed were Democrats.

Democrats are the ones who support the erosion of our society by stuff like this.

I'm in Idaho, the part that a lot of folks here seem to think has turned total blue moon bat...false, btw.

I find the truck nuts stupid and boorish, but what's worse is some of the bumper stickers I'm seeing lately.

Get this, a few days ago while walking through the Walmart parking lot, I spot (what choice did the owner give anyone walking by?) a large GMC pickup with a tailgate festooned with USMC this and that -- here's the great part -- next to "Trump is a Cunt" and "Fuck ICE".

Parked in handicapped zone, punch lines write themselves.

The neighbors granddaughter got a ticket for a minor
infraction,
But then the officer racked on another
ticket for vision impairment. And a fixit
warning.

She had a cracked windshield,

And a radar detector hanging down, a cell phone holder,
A dash cam hanging down, an air freshener.

He took pictures for evidence.

She was in a Corolla.
I've heard of tinted window violations but not this.

So she turned down the date, huh?

All that crap cluttering up the windshield needs to go. When driving a car the task at hand is THE most important thing going on in your world and the only thing that should have your attention. Same goes for the over optioned dashboards with choices galore on flat screens and buttons.

I talked to a couple truck drivers who were given warnings for having their gps mounted too high on their windshield blocking some of the view.
