I read the story at Epoch Times and it appears the Army LT. was driving without a rear license plate.
He had in transit stickers. He just bought the vehicle. He was compliant with he law.
The article said the plate was clearly visable and no charges were filed ... leads me to think that the “no license plate” was an excuse.
It was a new car, paper licence in rear window. You can see it in video footage.
Yeah, on his brand new purchased car. It’s usually a paper sticker in the back glass or some such. Or maybe a paper dealer tag.
He wasn’t cited for having no plate nor for anything else.
And it is a nationwide standard that if a cop is pulling you over and you are suspicious of something that you may do as he did. Put on flashers, drop below the speed limit a bit and pull over in the next well lit area. He did that and it was about a minute and a half after the flashers came on. That is not excessive. Also he did not lead them to a dark area. He pulled into a gas station lot just ahead.
This was unprofessional of the cops in this case.
