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 seperate reason, havent 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 my favorite quote becuase it is true. In this economy police still have to make their quota of tickets and this is just another excuse for a ridiculous ticket. This law gives police a reason to ticket someone when their bored and can't think of a better ticket to give them.
I disagree with this ban. Almost everyone that i know hangs an object in their rearview mirror. If the object is not obstructing their view, then what harm is being done? People should have the right to decorate their car as long as it doesn't put them or others at risk.
