In this article it discusses whether or not to ban the law on hanging dangling items from your rear-view mirror. There are so many people that hang "dangleys" from their mirror that it shouldn't be illegal. People that have been pulled over and ticketed for a separate reason, haven't gotten in trouble for their mirror accessories. Some people thought it was only illegal to have things hung in their rear-view mirror if it was distracting.
"I call it a 'gotcha' law. It's an excuse to pull someone over." This is the best quote because quite honestly, it is very true. In this economy police still have to make their quota of tickets and this is just another excuse for a ridiculous ticket. Policemen could make their quota in one day if they really set out to do it.
I disagree with this ban. I don't really see how a dangling item like an air freshener really blocks your view, considering your mirror is not dead center of your windshield. This is just another pointless law trying to get the peoples' money in the harsh economy.
