Car registration license plate stickers no more [View all]

Starting Jan 2017, PA drivers will no longer get a registration sticker for their license plate. I'm a little surprise because local law enforcement complained loudly about this making it harder for them to stop unregistered vehicles. They could get plate scanners, but can't afford them.

Probably the easiest way to solve the problem is to go back to matching a car's inspection date with its registration renewal date. That way cops need only look at the inspection sticker inside the windshield to know if the car's registered since you need both a valid registration and insurance for the yearly inspection.

On the plus side, it's one less money-making tool local cops will have in their toolbox. They'll probably just set up more speed traps to fill the coffers.
