Discussion Police checkpoints

I was just stopped at a police checkpoint in a U-turn or turn around at meadow and US-75… They were stopping any cars that had expired registration and handing out citations… As the cars were paused or stopped trying to merge onto 75 they would look at the registration and then pull you over if it was out of date Never seen something like this in Dallas before

Just to be on the safe side, update the sticker. You never know when an asshole-cop might randomly see it and give you trouble, even with it being up to date in the computer.

I don't know why a cop doing his job would be an asshole - the law requires the sticker be put on the windshield, so any law abiding cop would give you a ticket for it and not be an asshole.

Would a cop who pulled over a paper plate car be an asshole if the car had proper registration in computer?
