Having 2 license plate stickers is a Criminal Offense?

Yes, per most state you are only allowed to have one revalidation decal affixed to the license plate. Your are also required to place the decal in specific place on the license plate as well. In most states when you get your decal from the tax commissioner if should show you on the back where the decal must go.

Are you sure it wasn't a TRAFFIC offense and not a CRIMINAL offense?

I doubt that jail time is a possibility due to an extra registration sticker on your car. It's a fine and license suspension at worst. Most likely just a fine. That makes it a TRAFFIC violation.

Unfortunately for you and him, they aren't just stickers. They indicate that the vehicle is properly registered. They come with very simple instructions on how to apply the sticker. Follow them and you won't have this problem in the future.

Every state I've lived in clearly indicates where the registration sticker is to be placed on the license plate. Your fiancee can't follow simple written instructions.

florida's dmv site didn't have the information. where I live we have a sticker for the month, which never changes, and a sticker for the year, which changes once a year. I doubt the state cares you had a registration for the previous year.

I have to go with the cop on this one. When the sticker arrives in the mail, you get directions on where to place them. If you don't follow the directions, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Let's be honest, this is a "good ole' boy" cop in the woods, who "paced me 2/10 of a mile" and estimated I was speeding, and my plate bulb burned out that day, of which I wouldn't see. He wanted to make his quota and warrant still having a job. Funny, there was a drunk driver weaving on a major roadway full of cars at speeds of 80+mph, and he wanted to hide on a back road.

I went through a few pdfs at the DMV's website and did not see that particular situation described. He should mention it to the judge if he feels keeping an old sticker is not a criminal offence.

You better believe it. People steal the stickers and honest people like myself get screwed. The cop was absolutely right to give your boyfriend the ticket. Tell him to start doing it correctly and quit playing by his own drums.

Hope this helps

You probably should break up with your fiancee because he either can't read, can't follow simple instructions, or is an idiot.

arrrg..I hate that stuff. Police need to just do their job, not try to make money
