In Matt Helm's article, Fuzzy Dice, he writes about banning objects that hang from your rear view mirror. There has been a request to change the law since no one obeys it.
"Unless it's large and an obvious obstruction, it's just silly for police to pull somebody over for that. People aren't hurting anybody and they're not causing any danger."
I like this quote because it plainly sums up the entire article. It is contemptible for cops to pull someone over because they have an air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror. Unless it blocks like half of the window what's the harm? So yes I agree with changing the law to only restricting objects that are too big to be hanging from the mirror. But having a air freshener or rosary hanging from a person's mirror is perfectly fine. Everyone does it, and cops don't fully enforce the law so why even have it. Obviously many police officers even believe that it is pointless or else they would be pulling over everyone who has something hanging like they do if a car speeds through a red light. So in the end, almost everyone agrees that the law is absurd and should be changed.
