Oldest Louisiana Inspection Sticker?

I had a plumber at my house to do some repairs and when he went to leave I was standing by his truck BSing with him and I noticed his inspection sticker had a date of 7/13, almost 10 years expired. He said he's never been stopped or been through any inspection check points so no tickets. He has tint on the windows and said that's the reason he didn't get a new sticker. I told him that his tint doesn't look that dark, a friend of mine has a brand new car with factory tint that doesn't look any darker than his.
What's the oldest expired inspection sticker that you know of?

My dad issues state inspection stickers. As soon as they pull in, he scrapes them off before he even looks at the vehicle. That way, they cant just drive away if he tells them something aint right. He inspected a 1977 Dodge Power Wagon about a year ago. The previous sticker was from 1998. It passed inspection!! It was garage kept and looked very clean and nice

I moved back in 2017, haven’t had one since then. Kept out of state one for a while but now just go no tag. Fixing my windshield will cost more than the ticket, car is too old to waste money on until I get new car

I haven't seen one that old. I usually get mine renewed when they switch to a new color. I think mine expired in Jan.

Mine curled up and fell off about 2 weeks after it was put on.Could have used some of that old style glue they used to use.

Louisiana inspection stickers are theft of the highest magnitude.

I bought and sold a vehicle without ever getting one.
Bought it in 2011 and just sold it. It had some expired new orleans tag on it so I just left it. I assume nobody new what the stickers were.
Another cool story, when I was younger the city cops would always setup an insurance inspection point in the same spot. I drove through that 3 times and the same cop told me next time I was getting a ticket. After the third time, I went and got one.

I’ve never had one stick to the window long enough to be “old.”

One of the many reasons I can't wait to leave this shithole.
Had to get one this month. Went online to see who still does it. Well, I can tell you that you better call the place first and confirm. I went to four places that have online notices that quit doing them recently. Apparently the grift is no longer worth it for many of the stores.
High taxes, extra costs everywhere, and I had to get two new tires recently because of the shitty roads. Busted a belt in two tires when I hit a huge pothole.

Mine expired 4/20. Still half stuck on the windshield.
My wife got a new vehicle last September from Texas, still doesn't have a sticker on the window.

I once went 19 months past the expiration date. Stopped at a gas station in my neighborhood and as I was getting in my truck, a constable pointed at my sticker and said, "Take care of that." I mumbled some weak arse excuse and he replied "19 months? Come on man!" I took care of it.

What's an inspection cost in LA?
Posted on 5/25/23 at 9:24 am to doublecutter
I don’t understand why Louisiana doesn’t require it to have the vehicle registered?
They would clean up this issue very quickly.

I have a jeep that is not my primary vehicle. It expired in 2020, and I actually tried to get it renewed but some asshat claimed the tires stuck out too far past the fenders. That was good enough for me. I'm not shopping around.

My brother says "haha who gets an inspection sticker to even begin with?"
Posted on 5/25/23 at 10:01 am to doublecutter
I had a roommate a few years back who had one from 05/15. Was only 5-ish years out of date at the time so not too bad.

We moved to TN in 2018 where they don't do inspections, but before that I drove a 2009 truck that I got re-inspected once and left the 2010 sticker on until I got a ticket in 2015-2016ish for it being expired. Paid the ticket, just took the sticker off and rolled like that without any other issues.
Grifters constantly say it helps keeps dangerous vehicles off the road; but those with vehicles they know wont pass just don't bother to get them inspected.
I wish Louisiana would focus more on ensuring their roads were vehicle worthy rather than our vehicles were road worthy....but there's no money in that for them to launder.

I'm only 4 years expired. At rhis point it's like the Seinfeld episode where Kramer and the car salesman see how far the tank of gas can go.

I never understood not getting it renewed- sure it saves a whole $10/year, and 15-20 minutes every 2 years, but I’m pretty sure the ticket is $150, so you can spend 10 minutes and $20 getting a new one or you can hope you don’t get caught and owe $150.
Some friends moved to PA a couple of years ago, and their inspections require an appointment and take 45-60 minutes. Car up on the racks and everything.
