Hang in There

The article is talking about the ban on items hanging in your rear view mirror, and how they are trying to loosen the law to allow small objects like air fresheners and rosaries.

"I call it a 'gotcha' law. It's an excuse to pull someone over." I like this quote in the article because it is just stating exactly what this law is, a reason to pull someone over. Most things people hang from their mirrors are not as big as they used to be, like the fuzzy dices, but instead they are small things like tassels and necklaces.

This law is a good law to have and should be enforced, but only should be enforced on large objects that actually will obstruct the drivers view. The vanilla air freshners should be allowed to slide, but the next time there is someone on the side of the road being pulled over, look and see if there was something big hanging from their mirror.
