Gordon LeMaireObstructed LP's
(Not the old vinyls.)
What is the status of the obstructed license plate statute. I seem to remember a case that invalidated this as probable cause for a traffic stop.

Andrea WThe cases all upheld it as a basis for a stop, but then the law itself was changed. Now instead of any obstruction whatsoever, it has to obscure the numbers or letters on the plate.

David NewellIt's no longer enough justification for a stop if it only partially obscures one of those do-dad things.

Gordon LeMaireI believe I'm okay. The report says the state was covered up.
