As far as the inspection sticker, straight money grab by the state.


My favorite thing about living in Baton Rouge is watching BRPD set up their little checkpoint on Foster and all their cruisers have blacked out windows and no inspection stickers at all

BTW, if a candidate for governor pledged to eliminate the state inspection sticker, I would vote for him, her, it, whatever. If it's a budget issue, I would gladly pay the $20 or more in my registration rather that have to go through the asspain to get Jarome, Bubba, or Shorty to pretend to "inspect" my vehicle.

If Cali or Florida can get by without one, so can we.

What are you talking about? Nothing says safety more than being able to buy a two year inspection sticker so you don't have to get your inspected for two years.

To give the state $5.00, and the guy who puts it on $5.00. Other than that I guess you know your horn, windshield wipers, and lights work.

Last time I got one, I actually saw a guy in a basically totalled Accord get one in front of me. The car had an obviously bent frame, and wouldn't start when he went to pull off. All of his required stuff worked, so he got one.

All of my stuff is in perfect working order, but I have 15% tint on the front, so I got denied. The tint isn't even a safety issue, because thousands of cops, government officials, private detectives, and people with eye problems get to have it legally

Yes, they are.

Took forever to find an inspection place that didn't have a huge line.

Of course, if it wasn't for the fricking EPA bullshite, there would be more of them and inspections would be quicker.

It’s a safety issue for the cop that will eventually pull you over for your expired sticker.
