Q: Can a cop remove valid inspection sticker?
My car has cosmetic damage due to an accident earlier this year. I was recently pulled over and the cop tried to remove my inspection sticker and gave me a warning and 15 days to get my car repaired and reinspected. The officer that responded to my accident verified that my car is technically safe to drive, and we have been trying to get it fixed. No shops near us fix cosmetic damage. It has been multiple months since the accident and I have passed dozens of cops and hadn't gotten pulled over, until this past Friday. Is what the cop did even legal? The inspection sticker is partially missing.
