State plans to require QR sticker in place of inspection sticker
Posted on 3/31/26 at 4:32 am
Posted on 3/31/26 at 4:32 am
Does anyone think requiring people to pay for a sticker with a QR code and put it on your windshield is a good idea? There is no good reason for this. The police will not pull someone over and get out of their car before they have already run the license plate, which will give them all the information on the registration, including the vehicle VIN. So the purported justification for this can't be true.
But what will be true, is that these QR codes will end up including all kinds of information not currently available to anyone passing by a car in a parking lot, or who sets up a scanner to scan each car that passes. Identity theft is already a problem which is entirely the result of government requiring the use of SSNs as universal identifiers (despite promises that they would not be used that way when social security was created).
Besides being just another ear tag for We the Cattle, this will be just one more thing to help identity thieves.
As bad as inspection stickers are, replacing them with a QR code would be worse, and this is what HB 838 does. The bill has already passed out of the transportation committee.

Hi, I’m with the Government and here to help you.
I agree 100% with your OP. This will be misused and immediately misused.

Instead of the stupid QR code, it is called a plate number. Add the 10 dollars a year to your registration fees and be done with it.
If you want it to be more complicated, you can join the other states that have front and rear license plates.
If you really want next gen stuff and get the conspiracy folks out, start embedding an RFID transmitter in every plate making every vehicle compatible with GeauxPass instantly and make Flock cameras nearly invisible as to now they can use RFID sensors instead.

This.
And as far as being able to scan the QR codes to get insurance information, that capability already exists with license plate scanners. That technology is cheap and highly accurate.
Use it to go after uninsured, expired registrations, bogus temp tags, etc.

This stupid QR sticker is a product of stupid Jeff Landry. The QR sticker will probably benefit the ambulance chasers.

Yep, they're not doing it for the benefit of helping drivers.

My guess the people behind this is the HHT (hand held terminal) manufacturer. Think how many scanners they could sell. I can hear the sales pitch now, "guvna, one trooper with one of our scanners could easily scan 30 vehicles a minute coming through a seatbelt compliance check". And if you think about it that sort of makes sense. A trooper/SO/Local equipped with a scanner and vehicles properly tagged could check the vehicle for insurance. I don't support this as I believe the technology is already out there with ALPR. But I really do believe the people behind the curtains is some company wanting to sell equipment,software, and training to multi levels of LEO.

Find out which one of Landry’s friends or relatives owns a QR code scanner business and you’ll find out why this proposal was even offered

If the sticker goes on the window from the inside, couldn't you alter it by using a black sharpie permanent marker? That might work for a year or two, until they make it a criminal offense to alter or deface it.

It’s absolutely BS, and our legislators should be shamed, tarred, and feathered for agreeing to it under the guise of “eliminating inspection stickers”.

How about we just stop trying to monitor people so that government can make an easy buck off of citizens otherwise not operating in a dangerous or illegal manner?
Just get rid of the tags and don't replace them with anything.

I won’t say where. But it’s not Louisiana.
But I lived near a guy at the beach that had a beach house the size of a small hotel.
I asked my neighbor what kind of business gets you a beach house like that.
He said that the guy’s brother was department head for the state DOT. He made it mandatory for that state to buy stoplights that were only made in that state.
Guess who was made every stoplight.

“Lest ye take the number, neither will ye be able to buy or sell”. I hate to keep chewing on this same rag but extraordinary and massive Control Mechanisms are inevitable. The psychos and fanatical religious and political ideologues out there are already rocking the stability boat and revolution and war is all over the world. We can kiss our former Freedom goodbye.
The Control narrative will be implemented for the same reason that AI will be enthusiastically pursued. Such being for the potential societal good that it can do.
Rush said “always follow the money” and as already pointed out above you can bet that is a factor. But the bottom line is CONTROL and will be till the ‘herding cats’ methodology becomes obsolete. And “the Law ( of God) will be written in the hearts of all”.
My apologies for being a fanatical religious downer.

I thought 5 parishes in La were mandated by the government to inspect vehicles emissions. My guess the 5 parsh area would still need emission testing somehow.

Meanwhile, we have voted in MS to effectively have inspection stickers done away with. And have told the money hungry counties to pound sand on their county patrol radar fetish once again.
Raise hell and this stuff will end. Threaten their jobs.

My state does not require inspections on vehicles.

Landry. "Lets do away with inspection stickers"
Also Landry, "And replace them with QR stickers". No wonder LSP isn't upset about this. The revenue stream simply continues. And the the short, little "real conservative" keeps lying his arse off.
