I recently moved to Idaho and registered my car. When I placed the sticker in the "designated" area on the plate, the license frame covered all but the top 1/4 inch of the sticker. In Idaho the license # consists of a 2 digit county designator followed by a space and 5 more digits. I placed the registration sticker in that space after the county designator so it would be readable. I did this in part because I'd seen enough other vehicles that did the same thing I figured it was fine. Wrong, it was too visable. I got pulled over in a neighboring county by a state trooper. No other reason, no speeding, no erratic driving, etc. The trooper had to look though his code book for a few minutes to even find the statute. To sum it up, I got a ticket and am going to court to fight it. Do I have a case? Has anybody heard of this before, Idaho Statute 49-443(4)? The link is to the statute 49-443. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. http://www3.state.id.us/cgi-bin/newidst?sctid=490040043.K
