Here is a simple question

How does a summons like this even get to be news worthy?

There either had to be some other instance of dickery going on by the driver, OR some major dickery by the officer

Plate frames are illegal in NY. Most cops could care less. Usually it's used as a reason to pull you over if you're suspicious or already doing something else wrong.

it's not even a summons, it is just in infraction notice that has an amount to pay. You can pay the amount or set it down for an Early Resolution to speak with a prosecutor to try to resolve it and if that fail it goes to trial, or you can skip the ER and set it for trial

I never provide free advertising for dealerships but what in the hell is this about?

There's got to be a story here.

My son was just telling me about this yesterday. He does ride alongs for his criminal justice internship and cops can pull you over for a license plate frame down here. Its technically illegal. If they need an excuse or need to hit a quota. Bam.

I drove around with my plate zip tied to the frame on my old truck for almost a year because I didnt have a back bumper on it. I just zip tied the plate lights above it because they will pull you over for that.
