Sgt. Alex Gargarrian said that he is normally lenient with slightly outdated bumper stickers, but this instance bordered on egregious neglect. "The individual in question was promoting a candidate for election from nearly 25 years ago, at which point I pulled the individual over. I had no choice but to serve the suspect with a ticket for the violation and a somewhat hefty fine."
Preen - who drives a 1990 Ford Tempo - says that she was aware that the sticker was out-of-date. "It's just one of those things that sort of falls to the back-burner. I'd meant to renew it, but just hadn't gotten around to it."
The fine is another instance in a local crackdown on outdated bumper stickers. Said Officer Gargarrian, "Last week, I made a traffic stop for a sticker that said 'Talk to me Goose.' It's amazing how some people have such little regard for the law and safety."
