Imagine being cut off by a plain-looking sedan and having a guy dressed in street clothes get out and approach you with a gun in his hand.

It happened in Maryland. Turns out the guy with the gun was a state trooper. Fortunately, Anthony Graber had a helmet cam and taped the whole thing.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Imagine the Springsteen lyrics if they'd come up with this idea in the 70s:  New Jersey is requiring drivers under 21 to affix a red sticker to the upper left corner of their license plates. They'll pay $4 for the decal, a $100 fine if they remove it, and police will be able to use the sticker as probable cause for pulling over drivers for teen-specific offenses like curfew violations.
