I would also agree with the poster that said that insurance coverage checkpoints would be far more useful. Sometimes, the worst, most aggressive drivers on the roads are people that don't seem like they'd have insurance. THAT is a far bigger problem.

Why do people always assume that those who complain about these checkpoints are driving around with expired inspection stickers?
My sticker is up to date. The checkpoint can't do anything to me, but I can't stand seeing law enforcement resources being spent harassing citizens just going about their business, trying to get to work, school, pick up the kids from baseball, etc.
If it's not inspection stickers, it's writing tickets for rolling stops and bullshite like that.
I mean, as long as you're going to be out there doing traffic, run radar or catch people blowing through red lights... SOMETHING resembling actual, needed traffic law enforcement.
And let's not forget... we don't run these inspection sticker checkpoints in the hood. That won't work. We run them around LSU and where the white people live. Because it's safe, the people are compliant and they will pay their fine. That tells you all you need to know about why they are doing what they are doing.
Public safety, my arse.

Something like this happened to me two years ago. I had to wait on a part (clock spring was on national backorder)from the dealer for 4 months and during this time my sticker expired. Got the part installed and drove straight to the place to get sticker and they failed me because the computer threw a code saying the battery had been disconnected. I had to go back in two days after so many miles.
