NJ- License tag law gets court test

Well, here is a lawyer who's thinking, might just be what sex offenders need, if he doesn't get laughed out of court! What next?

4-19-2009 New Jersey:

A New Jersey law that will require drivers younger than 21 to display identifying decals on their vehicle license plates is being challenged in court.

Attorney Gregg D. Trautmann of Rockaway called the law ridiculous and unconstitutional and is suing to overturn the law.

Gov. Jon S. Corzine signed the measure, known as "Kyleigh's Law," on Wednesday.

Corzine called it an important tool to help police enforce safety restrictions for novice drivers. They include passenger limits and a night driving curfew.

However, Trautmann claims in his suit that the decals would serve as magnets for police to pull over young people and would let others, including sex offenders, easily identify and victimize teens. ..News Source.. by Staff and wire reports
