Police report says the car had a temporary tag clearly visible in the rear window. So why was he really stopped?
“Police report says the car had a temporary tag clearly visible in the rear window. So why was he really stopped?”
In Virginia it isn’t legal to have a tag anywhere other than on the front and rear bumpers. Having the tag in the window is the same as not having one.
They probably pulled him over for the illegally placed tag. If the Lt had acted right they probably would have just checked his paperwork, given him a ticket for the illegally placed tag and he would have been on his way. As he is active military they most likely would have explained about the tag and let him go.
The Lt made everything worse in every way.
