It was all because one woman's kid got killed while riding in a car by someone I think driving past curfew.

The logic was, police might see the sticker and pull people over. It was a 'feel good' gesture that is a complete pain in the ass.

The problem is, these stickers are supposed to be attached to the license plates when the kids drive the cars and remove them when they aren't. In reality, people either leave them on the car, or never put them on because parents don't want pervs stalking young drivers.
