This article talks about a law banning motorists from hanging objects from their rearview mirrors. Controversy over this ban stems from the lack of enforcement and clarity the law has. Most drivers are unaware that it is illegal to have something dangling from their rearview mirror.
"The bill doesn't specify what size items must be before they are considered too big, and gives officers discretion to pull over drivers." This quote shows why motorists are unhappy with the ban. People don't know when an object is too big so they are at the discretion of the police officer. Without having a set standard it is unfair to drivers to be pulled over.
I disagree with this ban. If it is going to be a credible ban it needs to be more strongly enforced and have set rules that drivers can follow. At its present state the law is unclear.
