Things you haven’t seen
Okay, here’s another one many officers would not recognize. You might have found this on a Pinto, a Pacer, or a Vega.

Lincoln Public Safety Links
Legal Stuff
I moderate comments submitted to this blog. I redact profanity, inane off-topic comments, bigoted garbage, personal attacks against others, and anything else I feel like deep sixing. I let a lot of stuff through that does not reflect my own opinion or that of the City of Lincoln or the departments I manage. If you post a comment, you never know where it will go: this is all open to the public, so post at your own risk.

MT Car of the Year award?
Nebraska State Auto inspection Sticker?
That would be an August, 1982 sticker proving that your Granada, Montego, Cutlass, Chevette, Datsun, Celica, Horizon, Hornet, Karmann Ghia, or Cordoba complied with the Nebraska Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection.
If the gubmint was truly interested in the safety of the citizenry, annual safety inspection laws would return to the books. Just sayin'.
I agree Herb, it would be a great way to generate tax revenue for the city, county, state, etc.
Sure it would have it's pitfalls to overcome w/ logistics and enforcement and it wouldn't force people to actually use a turn signal, but it would make sure they worked...at least once a year.
Roadside inspections accomplish the same thing and better. There were too many corrupt garages using the Inspection Sticker system to pump up profits.
Gun Nut
They can inspect my auto all they want, but if they touch my junk, I'm having them arrested!
Steve,
LMAO!! Me too!
Looks like one group is in favor of them. Nudists OK With Full-Body Scanners, Group Says. Although I don't think this group would ever have to use one. Conflict of interest.
Do I need to have my tree house inspected?
Chief,
How is that ALPR implementation moving along? I'd really like to see that hooked in to the state insurance DB, so it would notify the operating officer when the car had no valid insurance, as well as expired registration, stolen plates, etc.
FDD,
However, I wonder how those same nudists feel (no pun intended) regarding a cavity search. Remember, they've got to feel up a 90 year old granny, just to show that the unknown person in the burka with a Yemeni passport isn't a target of discrimination.
Actually, I avoid flying if at all possible. But now, with the prospect of a thorough pat down, I'd go down just to watch the planes leave if the inspector was a nice-looking female!
Is that a picture of your old Pinto Chief?

Officer Brad Hulse bagged a stolen car about a week ago, and Officer Rusty Lashley was just telling me yesterday that he found a missing person (runaway) with an ALPR hit on the car.

No Pinto for me. In 1982 I would have been driving a blue '73 Super Beetle or a white '81 Corolla (I think).
Around 1988, a State Patrol pulled me over for speeding (57 in a 55) then gave me a fix it ticket because the car had one of those stickers in the window and the officer claimed it 'obstructed my view'. ...Now UNL parking has stickers bigger than that for parking permits....
A Statie stopped you for going 2 mph over? He must have been very bored.
that statie was either bored or working highway 34/interstate 80 area by Air Park I see more police presence out there than I see in the "hood"
6:09 Now you know, everyone lies about how fast they were 'really' going. ha ha.
I've only lived in NE for 17 years, but I have always thought we should have a state inspection. How many cars are out there with bald tires and bad brakes? Think of the revenue that could be generated to help pay for fixing our crappy roads. From what I've heard, it would cause a big headache for the USED CAR LOTS in the state, because their cars would have to pass inspection before they could be sold. I understand there was a certain state legislator who single-handedly did away with the inspection law over 20 years ago. He's probably gone, so let's relook the idea. The life it saves might be your own! And the money it generates might save you $400 in ball joints.
If the inspection sticker requirement were reinstated, here's what those without inspection stickers would do: Fail to re-register their cars, and not buy liability insurance. They'd just drive them anyway. I think the Chief estimated that roughly 10% of the vehicles in Lancaster County either had expired registrations, had no insurance, or were regularly driven by a driver that had no valid OL (suspended, expired, revoked, etc. Compared to that, requiring annual safety inspections would be as effective as protection orders (a thin sliver of paper) are at stopping fists.

You read my mind. My recollection is that one of the factors behind the repeal was the widespread reports of such things as fraudulent repairs, wink-and-nod inspections, and the like.
...the widespread reports of such things as fraudulent repairs...
Exactly. Many very honest people (and I include some of this thread's posters as fitting this description), being unable to feature themselves defrauding anyone else, are also carelessly (or stupidly, take your pick) unable to imagine anyone else being a fraudster either. The naivete of such a mind is baffling to anyone who isn't similarly pollyannic.
Yea, I kinda did fib about my speed, I told the State Patrol officer I was going 56 in the 55. He said, "TRY 57!" Ohhh, ok, yes sir....seriously?
